One Man Hide and Seek

First, I would like to state, for the record, that I do not believe in many things. However, even though I don't believe in something, that doesn't mean I'm right. And it also doesn't mean the thing I do not believe in doesn't scare me.

For instance, I'm terrified of dolls. I was traumatized by my family as a child. That's a story for another post though. I know that dolls cannot come to life. I know that there is no way a doll is going to try to kill me. That being said, I don't want dolls anywhere near me and I'm not going to do anything to "provoke" them.

Luckily, Xroom Mod on Youtube has no problem doing the things that I would never dare to do. I can watch him perform creepypasta rituals from the safety of my nice, brightly lit bedroom.

The ritual I'm referring to now is One Man Hide and Seek.

For this ritual, you will be playing hide and seek. With a doll. At 3:00 a.m. with all the lights in your house off. If that sounds awful to you, imagine how terrible it must be to actually PLAY.

As with every creepypasta ritual, One Man Hide and Seek comes with a warning that several horrible fates await you if you do not end the ritual correctly. Click the link above for more information.

If you're like me and the idea of playing hide and seek in the dark with a doll sounds horrifying, here is a video of the ritual being performed by someone far braver than you and I.

I really like Xroom Mod's videos. He doesn't play it up for the camera like some people do. He shows you the honest results of every ritual he performs. As expected, nothing bad ever happens. He isn't being haunted by anything because of a failed ritual. Because, after all, creepypasta rituals are fiction. Aren't they?

Candle Cove and Cry Baby Lane

One of my all time favorite creepypastas is Candle Cove. The story is set up as a series of posts on a messageboard from a group of people who remember a show from their childhood called Candle Cove. As they continue discussing the show, they remember more about it and how disturbing it was, especially for a children's show. I don't want to give away the ending because it's really worth reading for yourself.

After reading about Candle Cove years back, I read about a movie Nickelodeon supposedly aired in 2000, Cry Baby Lane. The setup sounded a lot like Candle Cove. People were discussing this film and what they remembered of it, but the thing was, Nickelodeon refused to acknowledge the movie's existence. There was no proof anywhere that this movie ever aired on television. It sounded like an elaborate joke that everyone was playing along with.

Then, something incredible happened. In 2011, a Reddit used claimed they found a copy of Cry Baby Lane recorded on a VHS tape in their house. I remember that day very well. I kept waiting to see if this person would really upload the movie online. Was there actually proof that this movie existed? The movie did, in fact, exist. I did watch it, but I really don't remember much of Cry Baby Lane because I didn't care for the movie. The best part about it was the story *behind* the movie. Something that people doubted the existence of, something Nickelodeon refused to even acknowledge (until later in 2011, when they could no longer ignore it).

Here is Cry Baby Lane, in its entirety.
