The story about the grandma who used coconut oil on her grandchild who was allergic. She knew the child was allergic and chose to disregard it. The child passed away and the grandmother doesn’t understand why the parents do not want contact with her.

Anyone remember thestoryof the guys doing some tree work with chainsaws in a remote area when one guy slipped and cut himself bad. As they were trying to get to a hospital, driving erratically and fast, some lady started to block them as she thought they were just some a-holes. The guy ended up dying and they were able to get in touch with police. The lady ended up getting a ticket and one of the guys threw the bloody clothes at her car.That one stuck with me for some reason.
The guy who couldn’t figure out who was leaving post it notes all his house. He had a CO leak and was sleep walking/partially unconscious due to oxygen deprivation and writing the notes himself.
There was a youngmanwho went on holidays and when he came back he swore there was a bathroom where a cupboard now was and he didn’t believe anything his room mates told him that it had always been a cupboard.He came to reddit to explain the story and basically found out he had a brain tumour.
Might not be considered the “darkest” but theguywho lived an entire second life while in a coma… that story still sticks with me.lostinthecapes:I still think about that story, it gives me the chills, then I sometimes wonder if this is all a dream, and I’m in a coma?
Theguyin China that stumbled upon all the dead bodies in an abandoned building. He kept coming back and noticed that things would be moved or bodies added or removed.0mnigul:I remember this. Wasn’t it suspected as the victims being harvested for their organs?
I believe the poop knife deserves an honorable mention, it’s a classic, although it isn’t dark.
The guy who wanted to try h*roin to prove he wouldn’t get addicted. Ended up getting heavily addicted and posted on reddit semi-regularly for about 8 years before disappearing completely again.
For me it’s definitely post from jasoninhell. Guy found out his wife was cheating on him. He asked on Reddit what he should do and then filed for divorce. The wife then [tried to] kll herself and their children.It was a heartbreaking post to read.Edit: As people in replies say, the wife tried to kll herself but didn’t succeed and was later sentenced to 120 years in prison.
There is a sub for sx offenders where they support each other crying around, feeling sorry for themselves and never mention a victim.Bunch of a*****s and reading in that sub makes you really angry.
I’m surpised nobody mentioned thereddit threadwhere a bunch of backpackers came home only to discover a dying woman’s body in the background of their pictures.
There’s a video of a motorcyclist crashing at nearly 250 mph. The video shows the aftermath and it looks like a movie with how many parts of him are scattered across the road and siding.
A dude who had a sick fetish for parasitesHe willingly infected himself with and sustained as many parasites as he could, and what’s more, he spread them around as much as he could, to as many people as he could.Of course, I speak in past-tense, but there’s no telling if this guy stopped. He had not expressed any intention of stopping when he wrote his confession. I forgot what sub he wrote this in.
Theguywho has a cockroach fetish and created a cockroach wife named Ogtha. He remains faithful to her and tried to come out to his family.
There is a redditor, u/imflukeskywalker - who was very well known in the Cincinnati area for his charity work. He looked remarkably similar to Mark Hamill, and would dress up as Luke Skywalker and go around children’s hospitals visiting them and bringing them toys. He was eventually caught with CP and k**led himself before he could be properly sentenced, it was a huge shock to the community but we all probably should’ve seen it coming.
The darkest one I remember, but can’t find was I believe an off my chest / confession.Guy was a gas fitter or plumber and installed a hot water heater in a families basement. The next day the police had found the family had died of CO2 poisoning and had him come to check for a leak.He said it was his fault as he had left a rag in the wrong spot which had caused the gasses to build up, he removed the rag to hide the evidence and it was deemed a tragic accident.
There was a comment that somebody left on one of those “what’s something you’ve done that still haunts you” type threads that I read back in 2015 and I still think about it today. A guy admitted that when he was 8 years old, he was playing with the fire in the fireplace while his family was sleeping (just now occurring to me that they definitely should have put out the fire before going to bed though so it’s really not all his fault) but he was like poking it and a piece of log jumped out and before he could process what was happening the fire got bigger and most of his family died, but he survived. Not sure if it’s true or not, but I just think about the guilt he must feel in his everyday life.
I think it was originally from 4chan but I saw it on Reddit. It was the guy that k*lled someone and would just kind of chat about it, people realized he wasn’t joking, and I think shortly after he got caught.
For me it was when the Pain Olympics sub was still active. I remember the top post was a guy who castrated himself and documented it every step of the way. It was VERY graphic and very unprofessionally done. He did the stones AND pillar. By the end of it there were only hand done stitches of where it all used to be. I cannot imagine the type of person who could do that and where they might be today.
The whole CarlH saga was really dark.There was also a post a couple years ago, I think in one of the legal advice subs, where a guy was asking about how r*pes were investigated, claiming that a friend had been ass**lted. It became abundantly clear that he was looking for tips on how to not get caught himself. That was chilling.
A story where OP and his friends were big bullies as teenagers to this one disabled kid in a wheel chair, so much so to where they k**led him eventually. I don’t remember the full story, but something they ended up on top of a mountain or hill and they pushed him off thinking it was funny. Apparently they never found the kid, they never got caught, but OP feels immense guilt for his actions but from my understanding, OP really wasn’t the bully, he was just hanging out with his friends.

There were 2 no sleep stories that have stuck with me. One was about a guy going through depression where he eventually tries to end it. The way the writer describes the depression, is spot on. Talks about the lights going dim, how he tries to tell his family he needs help but that’s not what comes out.The otherstoryis about a kidnapping of a child. The kidnapper takes the kids life fairly quick. Then he sends ransom notes to the family, with proof of life photos taken before the child’s death, or faked in some way, I can’t remember. The family agrees to pay the ransom, all the police the family everyone goes to the meet up point. The kidnapper goes to the family home and erases all images of the child. That was his goal the whole time.Those two have stayed with me.
Many of the things mentioned here are Reddit staples, so here’s one I never see anyone talk about. It’s more creepy/obsessive than dark, but I keep thinking about it even so.IIRC a few years back there was an askreddit thread about peculiar behaviors people were willing to admit to or something of the sort.This one guy said he keeps a detailed wiki of his own life. The wiki contains entries on every person that made an impact on his life, and he updates it daily. He even posted a screenshot of one of the wiki pages about some other guy that details where they met, their interactions, relations to other people who had entries in the wiki etc.The OP is likely on the spectrum or has some kind of OCD, as he said he updated the wiki religiously and spent a minimum of two hours each day on doing so.Honestly, I’d really like to find that thread again. Hell, I’d like to reach out to the OP - maybe they’d include me in the wiki xD.

To me its the guy whose favorite teacher groomed another student, and he basically tried to chastize the kid who got groomed because he had “behavioral problems” or something along the lines. That one definitely feels wrong everytime I stumble upon it on youtube shorts.
The one about the guy who’s wife survived cancer and decided that she deserved to have an affair which she asked him to accept but when he couldn’t she apologized for putting him in that place and then had it anyway.
The story where somebody as a teen m*sturbated in a sock, but once he left it on the furnace and caused a house fire. Then his family were in trouble about finding another decent place to live for a couple of years. He never told the secret in real life.
Not the darkest but the story about the girlfriend using her boyfriend’ssocks to wipe her poopwas crazy. Serious mental issues.
That poor guy whose dad always beats him with jumper cables.mcmanninc:I can’t believe that was 9 years ago. That just doesn’t seem right. Oh, well. I’m off to stare at the lamp some more. Maybe this time it’ll be my ticket out of here.
I’m not sure if this one ever made it to reddit.But the girl who was putting rotten meat in her v*gina and she loved the feeling of the maggots moving around or something?
I remember not here but one of those YT channels reposting disturbing posts. One I remember was this OP confessing that they drowned their little sister over a broken book, I think OP was like 5 and sister was 2. The aftermath is one of those ‘Jasoninhell’ or ‘Coconut Oil’ kinds of gut wrenching you wish to unsee.
When reddit thought they “solved” the Boston Marathon bombing and falsely accused somebody who was innocent.Drogovich:reminds me of more recent thing with smartschoolboy. Reddit fumbled it big time and the attention of reddit detectives only resulted in the creep removing the evidence and dissapearing.
I think all of the gangstalking subreddit qualifies for this - not least because they have something in the rules that says “if you say we’re crazy & need help you will be banned from the subreddit"it’s heartbreaking that they’ve created a community for support & to help them but inadvertently created something that furthers their delusions.
I’ve been on Reddit for quite a while now and remember being told about an AMA from a n*crophiliac. I read through it a little then posted a joke of heard that was on topic, thinking nothing much of it. The poster replied, saying he liked it and wrote another necro joke that made me feel a little sick reading it. Early AMAs were wild.
I remember someone cut one of his balls(left nut?) because he lost a bet and upload a video.
There’s a video of an attempted robbery of a vape shop where the worker stabbed one of the robbers to death after he jumped the counter. The video has made the rounds, its the one where the robber says “im dead, im dead” while he gets stabbed.The worker essentially made a reddit post immediately after this happened talking about k**ling the guy and everybody pretty much unanimously told him to delete the post and talk to a lawyer. It might have been an AMA but I can’t remember, I know I saw the OG post though and it was crazy. Pretty sure he caught some hefty charges and the post was used to incriminate him.He posted a video of himself stabbing the dude and did anAMA. Don’t think the robber actually died but the whole thread is still crazy though, here’s a quote:>no_:You looked like you had some stabbing experience. Was that your first time, or did you play through similar situations in your head before?>xiaomxlonever been in this situation before or anything similar. But I feel like i learned to stay calm under pressure because of my experience playing league, teamfights made my heart rate rise but i was able to keep calm in that. weird how stuff in games can apply in real life.
WarPhalange faked having cancer for karma.
There was a guy who went insane after becoming obsessed with the concept of Quantum Immortality, he made multiple posts on Reddit talking about it with multiple nights of intense insomnia, with each post his mental health deteriorated until he stopped posting all together. It’s assumed he k*lled himself, though that’s not yet been confirmed.
It is long deleted, but an AskReddit post about r*pists and why they did it.
That “I’m not proud of my son” post.
