On that note, I've not been back for some time - what the hell happened to GBS? Seems like it's haunted by the ghosts of FYADs past...
FYAD burst.
Anyone have anything saved from an old cryptids/generally creepy thread that popped up in GBS a few years ago? I remember there was one story about a weird white dog-centipede thing that they saw in (I think) an empty lot.
There was another story I read in one of the old ghost stories threads, which unfortunately isn't on Not Hot But Spicy, about the poster as a child with a group of friends, and they come across I want to say old foundations or structures, and the one kid is later found dead in it.

Neither of these are ringing a bell for me, but I'll keep a lookout. Too bad archives search is still down. Can you narrow it down to a time frame?
I want to say around 2010-2011.

I finally tracked that story down. Took for-freaking-ever, but I did it.
If you have archives, I found it in the 2010 thread. (WARNING: Link requires archives)
Credit goes to mistressminako who posted it in the old thread.
I also have a request! A few threads ago I remember some goon posting a story about student tenements in Chicago that were haunted as gently caress. Anyone have that story handy?
Thank you! Still delightfully creepy, and now I'm pretty convinced I need archives, because there are probably a LOT of really good stories that could be reposted.

And now...The Tale of Drum: Ghost Hunter
A couple years ago, I had gone on one of the Austin Ghost Tours, where they tell you about various deaths and murders, and take you to paranormal hotspots like the Driskill Hotel and various little parks downtown where people (usually the homeless) are known to have died. Not long after this, I was downtown again around 10 PM, and decided that I should see if I could stir up anything paranormal at one of these parks.
The particular park I went to is right near the Convention Center, and though its also near I-35, the sound of traffic wasn't all that noticeable. So I'm dicking around alone, a few blocks from the hotspot that is 6th street, alternating between recording with my camera and snapping photos.
That's when I hear it.
A low, garbled, wrong-sounding voice. I stop, snapping more photos, listening. The voice comes again. Still garbled, still wrong-sounding, but different. Several minutes pass, and the first voice comes back. It's...it's....
It was the loving Spanish and English announcements coming from the MetroRail station next to the park.
Goddamn MetroRail doesn't even operate at that time of night.

Archives and search are both broken and there is no plan to fix them in the near future. So if you're like me and you enjoy reading the old threads, QCS has basically said "tough poo poo."
Well, isn't that delightful.
