Parental discretion is strongly advised. People who live and work in remote areas know that sometimes too much quiet can make your mind race.

However, some experiences stick with people long after they occur because of the degree of creepiness.

On Reddit, plenty of people who live in rural areas or make their livelihood there share their scary

stories for the rest of us to freak out over.

We know that often strange people linger around woods, parks, and other desolate areas, and

we've all heard plenty of the kind of creepy stories that backpackers experience. However, in this episode, the stories are more than a little

unpleasant because the people who suffered them weren't just out and about anywhere. They were at their homes or doing their jobs.

Imagine living in the woods and looking up from your bathtub to see a face looking back at you.

Or imagine you're working as a forest ranger and come across a thumb nailed to a tree. Tonight I'll share some of the terrifying real life stories, stories that are the stuff of nightmares.

I'm Darren Marler and this is weirdos. This is Weirdos. This is Weird Darkness. Here you'll find stories of the

paranormal, supernatural, legends, lore, crime, conspiracy,

mysterious, macabre, unsolved, and unexplained.

And where will you run when something terrifying happens to you?
