I had forgotten this story, thanks for resurrecting it.

This freaks me out so bad... THIS is fodder for a very disturbing act

Have a few people sitting in chairs on stage. Two of them are your secret assistants. Tell this story and say you are going to safely duplicate it through hypnosis. Once the person is hypnotized (your planted person) do a couple hypnosis things and then take them back to the time that this happened and place them in the vault. Have them act out the part of the voice inside the chamber. Inform the audience that you will now open the chamber by bringing the person out of hypnosis and when they come out they seem ok for a half minute and answer a few questions not remembering the event. Then all of a sudden, they grab the arm of the person next to them (another of your plants) and bites a chunk out of their arm (all theatrical make-up with blood capsules of course and goes running out of the room with a huge chunk of flesh hanging out of their mouth. EMS is standing by and takes your other stooge away. Now you are clean and very apologetic. Get ready for the newspaper interviews because they will be coming.

That is definitely disturbing. I once spent 4 entire days awake (during my years of addiction struggles) and that was bad enough. I can't even fathom this.

What is beautiful about this story is the way the story slowly builds from plausible to horrifying.
As Lovecraft said, a good horror story should be written “like a well crafted hoax”.

As a journalist, I would never use Snopes as a source for reference in any hard news investigation. Snopes certainly has a political agenda. But this is a rather off-beat story which I wouldn't think that Snopes had any reason to bias their conclusion. The story itself is lacking sources, science in the story is more on the level of pulp fiction, no real details and the author never gives us any references. If the story is not fake, it is certainly very badly written and, as an editor, it would have never got pass my desk. And if you read some of the comments at the end of the article, people there have explained what is wrong with elements of the story. |

The whole idea of the creepypasta site is the submission of very short stories of horror and the supernatural. There is never any claim that any of the stories are true. Some of the stories do become memes in their own right, such as Jeff the Killer, and Slenderman.
Some of the submissions do provide ideas for bizarre presentations. |

Al, yes it is fiction.

As I said earlier, I liked how the author built his story from the plausible to the horrifying.
It underscores how a well developed back story in our own routines draws the spectators into the magic of our acts. Inferno and The Knowing Game are two examples of excellent back stories that sell the effect and leave a memorable experience
