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
