NoSleep is a place to share your original scary story. The purpose of this sub-reddit is to share stories with and scare the crap out of each other. This is not a place for you to practice your writing skills, or to post creepypasta. Remember, everything is true on NoSleep.

Please take a moment to read our official rules and policies.

Any violation of these rules will be met with appropriate discipline.

• Putting tags in the title of your post is unacceptable. Any new posts made with tags will be removed. We've had this discussion in the past. This does not include referencing another part of your story.

• Absolutely NO image or video posts.

• Everything you read in r/nosleep is true; please suspend your disbelief while you are here.

• tl;dr can destroy your carefully crafted sense of dread; don't do it.
