This is genuinely the best series of short stories I've read online, had me enthralled! Six parts, they're an easy read and are genuinely terrifying because they don't try to be - it's well written and I can't give it enough praise. Written by a user called 1000Vultures, hence the topic title!

Part 1 - "Footsteps": http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/k8ktr/footsteps/
Part 2 - "Balloons": http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/kcl8q/balloons/
Part 3 - "Boxes": http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/kg0jf/boxes/
Part 4 - "Maps": http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/kl1cd/maps/
Part 5 - "Screens": http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/krdm0/screens/
Part 6 - "Friends": http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/kyshm/friends/

From what I gather, it won some kinda prize on this "nosleep" board for the writing, I got linked to it by my best friend earlier today and just thought I'd share it with TiBB! It follows the fictional (I hope...) account of a boy whose childhood memories are revealed over the six parts, I don't want to give anything more away, would just recommend reading it... I've no idea if anyone will bother because it seems like nobody ever cares when it comes to off site links but oh well.

Any takers? No? Shame on you all. -scuttles back into the cavern of only posting on occasion and plucking up the courage to create a new thread again in about 8 months' time-

Just read the first one, it's a good read especially as I'm home alone near a woods and have trouble sleeping here.

Keep reading or you'll just be petrified and won't have any feeling of resolution! I started crying at one point in part 6, not ashamed to admit it!

Part 2 was good, interesting little things you pick up on like he says 'I was always good at spelling my name'

Woah. Very striking first part indeed, I'm literally stuck on this sofa now in the dark on my own and very scared. Will go up to bed before I read more, it's safer :laugh:

Part 2 was so good. It's times like these I am so glad I share a room with my brother and the dog though so I have something to blame all of the little sounds on :laugh:

Yeah I've just finished too, was actually really scary although there's still stuff in there that I don't really get or doesn't make much real sense. It also looks like he's meant to only be about 5 years old in half of them yet seems way older
