Top 10 Dark Web Urban Legends

 the dark web if you don't know what that  is you've been on the right part of the  internet or you're just not as concerned  about privacy as some others are the  dark web is a secret ish part of the  internet that can be accessed using a  special browser I'm not going to give  you all the instructions here because  that would be irresponsible and I do not  recommend searching or going on to the  dark web while there are legal uses for  it such as private Communications or  skirting government censorship in a  country where the internet is heavily  monitored you need to keep your security  in mind as there are many many illegal  things happening here with all that said  I have collected some of the creepiest  and also amusing stories that I'm  allowed to tell and with the anonymity  of the dark web it's impossible to prove  any of these happen for sure but the  stories are spooky or interesting enough  to share here are 10 dark web urban  legends that might be real number 10  tricky Smugglers one of the biggest uses  of the dark web is as a black market  there are sites that allow you to buy  anything and everything and  unfortunately I do mean anything but  when it comes to buying illicit  substances off the internet some sellers  have been extremely creative about their  delivery methods a few Reddit users just  discussing this told some stories of the  most interesting and innocuous packaging  they have seen one user said that they  constantly received junk brochures in  the mail for cruises zoos all sorts of  things and thought nothing of it until  they saw their roommate cutting into one  to retrieve a bag of powder or there was  allegedly a comic Bookseller whose  entire back cover was a sheet of  dissolvable hallucinogens another had  seen a collectible Pez dispenser still  appearing to be Factory sealed arriving  already filled with pills not candy I  had a Buzz Lightyear one back in the day  but that never had anything like that in  it so be careful out there folks number  nine we see you this story comes from a  user of the early internet for Google of  ancient history for some of you I'm sure  this web Savvy individual often found  themselves roaming around random dark  web chat sites and found one with some  cryptic comments like people passing  notes hidden in a JavaScript comment he  found various IP addresses which is a  device or router's unique address he  decided to browse through some of these  for fun we have different ideas of fun I  guess and he found some of them belong  to servers with little to no security  not planning on doing anything nefarious  just window shopping he was flipping  through one that seemed to have a lot of  files of various sizes mostly images of  faxes financial documents and even some  medical records but after a while a new  file appeared titled hello there when he  opened it it was a simple text file with  one line written we see you about 15  seconds after opening it the server went  down something like that would make me  not want to internet for a long while  just don't go poking through people's  stuff it's that easy number eight your  wish is my command this story was told  as a first-hand account from someone who  has allegedly been in a psychiatric  hospital since it happened when he was  younger a rumor went around his school  that there was a website on the dark web  that could Grant almost any wish you  wanted for a price all you had to do was  solve a cryptic puzzle they don't go  into detail about what it was or how  they solved it but it was hard enough  that none of their friends did when they  got in there was a simple form that you  had to fill out for some personal  information and then a box where you  entered your wish obviously you should  never give out your information to a  sketchy website but they didn't know any  better they started with a small wish as  a test a new Xbox they hit enter and the  screen change to a simple line of green  text your wish is my command then the  website kicked him back to the landing  page nothing happened for a few days so  he figured it must be bogus until he got  home and found a package waiting for him  at the front door no name no return  markings he quickly grabbed it and ran  upstairs that his parents wouldn't see  and sure enough inside was a brand new  Xbox Overjoyed that it worked he told  his friend at school and they didn't  believe him and so they said to wish for  something bigger to prove that it was  real he went home and entered a new wish  for two of his old friends from his last  school in another state to come visit  the screen said your wish is my command  later that night he heard his parents  talking about a car crash on the weekend  where a father died bringing home some  presents for his kids and some of the  items were missing a few days later  there was another package on his front  step when he got home from school but  this time it was bigger and heavier he  dragged it inside and up the stairs and  when he opened it in his room it filled  with an ungodly stench and when he got  the nerve to look inside he saw the  faces of his two friends staring back at  him their heads neatly wrapped inside  the Box in hysterics and not knowing  what to do he frantically called for his  parents and when they saw what was in  the Box they assumed he had something to  do with it and they went to call the  police he frantically went back to the  website and wished for his parents to  keep quiet about it your wish is my  command almost as soon as he hit enter  he heard the sound of glass breaking and  two thuds he went downstairs and saw his  parents lying on the ground dead from  bullet runes he was arrested and stuck  to his story which landed him in a  hospital for the rest of his life  telling the story is a warning to anyone  who would listen be careful what you  wish for I guess number seven send again  another tale of an illegal purchase gone  wrong someone who obviously remained  anonymous online told the story of how  they wanted to buy some party enhancing  substances from the dark web they found  someone on the black market who came  highly recommended what is there a Yelp  for these guys or something he gave the  seller the info for his family Cottage  where he was going to secretly take his  friends for a getaway party weekend but  when he got there there was no package  to be found figuring that the dealer  tried to cheat him he messaged saying  that he never got the goods surprisingly  the seller responded apologizing and  said that he would send more this week  so they rescheduled to have another  party the next week when it rolled  around the same thing happened so he  messaged again thinking this person just  took the money and ran but to his  surprise they said they would send twice  as much to make up for it all for free  which our party planner was skeptical to  believe when he got to his Cottage the  next weekend there was no package  waiting for him but he did overhear his  neighbors talking with someone over the  fence when he took a peek over he saw  his elderly neighbors giving a report to  the police they had been receiving box  after box of illegal substances with no  post markings and they felt unsafe our  party planner kicked himself he wasn't  getting cheated he just entered the  wrong address so I guess there can be  honor among criminals after all number  six willing victim now this one actually  is a true story in 2001 a German  engineer named Byrne Brandis answered an  ad on a dark web forum for people with a  fetish for eating other people  absolutely horrifying that these people  exist but he answered a post looking for  a willing participant wanting to be  eaten he meant with Armin Memphis and  they proceeded to videotape four hours  of the two of them discussing what to do  and then they shared a Meal made from  Burns's reproductive organ after which  Armin allowed him to go upstairs and  take a bath where he bled out until he  was almost unconscious Armin then  stabbed him once killing burnt and then  he cooked and ate various parts of him  over the next few days he was arrested  and jailed for his crimes but since  everyone involved was completely willing  participants he only received eight  years and six months in prison he is now  a vegetarian number five red rooms red  rooms are an urban legend that have been  around as long as the dark web has there  are allegedly a place where disgusting  people could watch horrible things  happen to someone in the room and pay to  decide what happens next and obviously  the room is read to denote what will  happen in there there are true horror  stories of people browsing the dark web  stumbling into these places and seeing  Unforgettable things and never accessing  the dark web again there have been a few  instances where people were caught and  jailed for operating these things and I  won't give their names because that will  simply give them more notoriety but some  have been caught after torturing and  eventually killing up to 30 people all  at the request of people donating  massive amounts of money and if you ask  me those people are just as evil as the  scum who would do this to another human  being number four light web okay I need  to talk about some thing light and fun  after all that before we get to our top  three well yes a lot of the activity on  the dark web is illegal and dark as the  name would suggest there are sometimes  wholesome moments from Anonymous folk on  the same black market where you can find  Hitman and illegal substances some users  have found more innocuous sellers a  German man who only sells soft pretzels  for instance I guess they're so good he  needs to sell them secretly or an  auction for Bill Clinton's old saxophone  or my personal favorite a Reddit user  who didn't quite get what he asked for  the user bought a mind-blowing  experience from someone on the black  market there was no explanation as to  what it would be but he purchased it  anyway when he got the package he didn't  know what to expect but when he opened  it he didn't find a severed head or  pills but a used Dust Buster he  commented that even though it wasn't  what he expected he wasn't disappointed  and busts dust with ease on The Daily  number three one word story okay back to  the spooky stuff this story was posted  by a user named Anthony he liked to play  a game called one word story where each  player puts out one word at a time and  once someone says period the sentence is  over and read back aloud he found a link  to to a site on the dark web for real  players promising an experience like no  other he played with a few large groups  of people but still the stories weren't  good enough for him just before logging  off for the night he saw a private chat  room in the horror section that only had  one person in it he clicked in but it  was locked with a password suddenly the  power in their apartment went out only  for a few seconds and when the computer  booted back up it was still on the  website but now the chat room was open  he joined and the other user began the  game immediately with I bold because  this can lead to some embarrassing  sentences for the person to read Anthony  responded with C they sent back you he  said through and then your came back and  looking around his room Anthony noticed  his window letting in a breeze so he  said window the user typed period he  read the sentence back aloud I see you  through your window haha very funny  clearly this person had played before  and wanted to creep him out they  continued playing swapping words back  and forth until more sentences were made  but it seems the other user had a story  planned the whole time they traded words  you are not safe this sent shivers down  his spine the next sentence became I am  coming for you there was a chat window  next to the game screen and Anthony told  the other player to cut it out or he  would leave the game they replied with  look out your window as he did he saw a  figure dressed in black standing near a  Lamppost then the lights went off in his  apartment again when they came back on  the figure was gone Anthony looked back  at the computer and one word was on the  game screen I tentatively he responded  am and then one more appeared that made  him cover his mouth to keep from  screaming it said here I am here he  heard a loud pop and suddenly there was  a hole in his computer screen in the  center was a bullet lodged into the  monitor it must have come from behind  him he ran upstairs and hid in his  closet under his dirty clothes he heard  his front door open and footsteps  walking through the house he even saw  their boots walking in the bedroom from  under his closet door he stayed there  all night even after they left searching  what seemed like the whole house the  next morning he returned to his computer  and in the part of the screen that  wasn't destroyed the chat window was  visible with one word rematch number two  Mariana's web Mariana's web is is  allegedly the darkest most secret and  hardest to access part of the dark web  it gets its name from the Marianas  Trench no not my favorite band the  deepest place in the ocean supposedly  this is where you can find the darkest  Secrets Humanity has ever had from the  Vatican secret archives to the location  of Atlantis to databases of the world's  intelligence organizations some even  believe that there is an all-powerful AI  running it many people have come forward  saying they have decrypted data packages  from Mariana's web but it's all been  debunked and what was proven to be real  information was already available  elsewhere it is supposedly only  accessible through quantum computers  which are super cool but I don't have  time to get into that right now either  way getting there isn't easy and it's  not meant to be if it even exists I  don't think that I'd want all of  Humanity's Secrets out there for anyone  with a VPN to access so let's hope it is  just an urban legend number one  scavenger hunt this story starts with  Trevor visiting the dark web to buy a  mystery box from the black market  something he'd done before nothing  illegal just interesting useless stuff  usually showed up but this time he  bought from a different seller he who  offered ones for 18th birthdays a few  days later he got it and the Box  strangely had instructions it said that  he was about to be set out on a birthday  treasure hunt and had to burn all of the  letters once they'd been read or solved  fun game he thought and I personally do  love a scavenger hunt the note was  signed by Pete his childhood best friend  whom he'd not seen in years maybe he was  the one who sent the box or the seller  contacted him to make it more  personalized the first clue was a piece  of paper that said Van Mace after  staring at it for a few minutes he  realized it was an anagram for man cave  what he and Pete had called Pete's  basement growing up he burned the note  sure that he had solved the clue and  drove to his old friend's house using  the spare key he still had he entered  the back door leading into the basement  and saw the next clue an Ace of Spades  and a picture stabbed into the wall with  a folding pocket knife he pulled the  knife from the wall and examined the  picture it was another place he and Pete  would go when they were younger a  clearing in a forested area behind their  old school not too far away he burned  the picture and the Ace of Spades  keeping it in mind for later when he  arrived at the clearing there was a  shovel sticking out of the ground near a  fresh Mount of dirt ah spade for very  clever he started digging through the  dirt and not long later he hit something  solid he kneeled down and brushed away  the dirt to look for his next clue but  instead he saw the face of Pete he was  buried in a shallow grave and there was  blood on his shirt where he had been  stabbed repeatedly in shock and  devastated by the loss of his friend he  called the police and told him he'd  found a body and a please hurry as soon  as he hung up he realized that he had  burned every note with the instructions  that his fingerprints would be all over  Pete's basement and the key he used to  get in and that the knife that was  undoubtedly used on Pete was in his  pocket and he was holding the shovel  that was used to bury him somebody had  set him up and who would ever believe a  story as crazy as this well that's all I  have for you today I'm Connor stay  amazing and I'll see you next time  foreign
