The Disappearance Of 'Strah'

A Word From Smokey

Its september which means the spooky season is here. Its this time of year where my interest in the paranormal, the creepy, and the conspiratorial really peaks. I like browsing the /x/ boards of 4chan occasionally and sometimes I discover a bit of gold in the form of a good greentext or text dump archive. The original pastebin for this story can be found here:

https://pastebin.com/wm5c6bw4#

I don't know who originally archived it, they never credit themselves and used a guest account on pastebin. . Whoever they are, they did a service to us. All I did was spit shine the original pastebin to be gemtext compliant. All further notes are from Original Archiver.

This particular story is just the right mix of believable and bizarre. 99% of the paranormal stories on /x/ is pure LARP bullshit that can be smelled a mile away. 1% of the time you sometimes come across a story that makes you pause and think.

Archive Date: jan 22, 2012

Context By Original Archiver

Strah, a yugoslavian civil war vet, was experiencing some things he could not explain. During that day those things got worse and worse. Strah was active for 24 hours exactly. The users of /x/ assisted Strah in these 24 hours, using a chatroom they created on

https://cbe003.chat.mibbit.com

The room name was #balkan30. There was a user named 'strange' who did somehow connect with Strah. And even at a certain point started to experience very similar things Strah was experiencing at the same time. Some things, like bleedings, even at the exact same time. Other users claim they they felt like someone was watching them

It all started on the /x/ (paranormal) board. This board Strah found on google while he was looking for explainations for the things that were occuring. He saw others share their stories, and did the same. Strah was a new user. I've left out the reactions of other posters if they were not of any importance to Strah's story.

Part I: First Post

Slamming door. HOW? Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)04:05 No.9361062  

    Ok, so tonight the weirdest thing did happen.
    I was sleeping when i woke up because i did hear
    a door slam downstairs. Imediately i grabbed my
    gun (burglars are often armed over here) and went
    down trying to be as silent as i can. As i went into the
    hallway downstairs i saw the door into the kitchen was
    open (i never leave that open) but as i was halfway the
    hallway it slammed close in front of me, really hard.

    I run into the kitchen (its was dark, but i live there since
    1980 so i cant really run into objects by accident) and
    turned the light on. Nothing. Living room, nothing, all
    the other rooms, nothing. Checked all the locks, but
    everything was locked. Checked all the rooms upstairs
    (thought maybe he/she went upstairs somehow) but
    nothing was there too. Upstairs everything was locked.
    Checked all windows in the house, all closed tightly.

    WTF could make a door slam shut so hard?
    There was no draft (all windows closed) and obviously
    noone else was in the house. Can't be my fiancee too
    because she's on a business trip to an other country.

>>	Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)04:05 No.9361065
    Can't be any ghosts too because they dont exist, and
    even if they did they would be made of thin air and could
    not open/close any doors. (they probably just would go
    trough them)

    This actually really creeped me out, and I must say that
    I'm not very easy to creep out. Saw too much shit in war
    to let anything creep me out anymore. But somehow this
    really got to me, especially since i can't explain it at all.

    I even remember the exact time the fist time the door
    slammed as i (dunno why) looked immediately at the
    alarmclock when it woke me up. It was 3:03am this
    morning. Its 10:05am here now btw and i'm sitting here
    with my gun and thinking if i should call the cops or not.
    If i call them, i might look like a fool because they wouldnt
    probably even believe me. WTF is this /x/, some earth
    magnetism or something, could that be it, can that slam doors?

    People, sorry if i somhow sound a bit sarcastic maybe
    (or whatever it is called), but this really got to me. I dont
    know what to think anymore, am i going crazy maybe?
    I really appriciate your help even if it maybe doesnt sound like it.

>>	Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)04:40 No.9361232
    OK, so it happend 2 times now that the lights just went
    off in the living room. By itself. The lightswitch was still
    in the "on" position so i first had to switch it to "off" so i
    could turn it on again. 2 times within the last 5 minutes.

>>	Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)04:44 No.9361253
    As i said before, i'm usually not easily scared, but this really
    got to me. I don't know too much about the previous owners
    of this house, only that they were an elderly couple and afaik
    noone died in this house. I'm living here for more than 30
    years now and never something like this ever happened.

    ok, so i heard squeeking noise on the attick and went
    upthere. turned on the light and climbed the stairs,
    halfway the stairs the light turned off ánd i heared
    a *click* sound of the switch. I went back down and
    the switch was fysically turned OFF. I took a piece of
    cellotape, got back, turned the light ON and sticked
    the cellotape to the swits so it remains on. Then i
    locked the entrance door the the attick and went
    upstairs. I was just at the top of the stairs when the
    light shut off with a click again and when i went down
    the cellotape was broken!! Thats it, i'm leaving and
    going for a walk, maybe it will clear my mind a little.

>>	Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)12:50 No.9362764
    ok, so the walk wasn't a success. Something is
    happening with/to me and i really cant explain it.
    In the forest it felt like someone was watching me,
    now that usually isnt really a problem (happened
    before) but now it was different. Somehow just as
    if someone walks just a few feet behind you, at some
    moments even a few inch. I even could hear it breath
    at the end, but that was probably just my imagination
    going wild. Another weird thing is that i didn't see any
    animals at all, not even birds. When i got back to the
    house all doors were open, every single one of them.
    Wide open. As I checked the house, i could not find
    anyone who could have done that. (in case of prank)
    I'm sitting with my laptop in the cellar now, there's only
    one door to the cellar end i'm keeping my eye on it all
    the time. I have my flashlight and hunting rifle ready if
    needed, but i have to say honestly that i am afraid for
    the first time in life and its not a good feeling. I can't
    even call friends for help because they will think that i
    have lost my mind or something. (what if theyre right?)

    i hear steps in my livingroom

    OP, let me ask you something. Have you seen a movie called: The Strangers?

>>	Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)13:48 No.9362968
    No, i'm not really into movies. Music is more my thing.
    But should i? Is it a documentary? I dont hear the steps
    anymore btw but i'm not sure if its safe to go there.
    My guts tell me to stay downhere and wait.

    >>9362977
    Easy to say don't be afraid if youre not in ones shoes.
    Believe me, i would be less afraid if i knew it was just
    a person trying to harm me. But this is just strange
    >>9362988
    I've never chickened our or ran for anything in my life,
    and i will try my best not to do so now too. I am armed,
    sharp, and have ration enough for a week.

>>	Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)14:11 No.9363088
    Believe me, if there was a person in my house if would have 
    found him/her. I was a soldier, member of a unit
    i rather not mention, but you have to trust me when i
    say that people can not hide easily from me. I find them.
    The tape can be a coincidense, but the doors cannot.
    When i returned home all the doors were open! I mean,
    the locks were still locked, but the doors were open!
    And i dont have any crappy locks.. Al my outer locks
    are made by mul-t-lock, no amateuristic stuff.
OA note: English is not Strahs first language so he makes some mistakes every now and then, but please do pay attention how he makes more and more mistakes as he gets more stressed. One can really notice at a certain point that he is losing control of everything.

Part II: Escelating Activity

> Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)14:49 No.9363326

this is not good, if there is a god i swear in his name, this is not good.

i was upstairs for a minute, the lights dont work, nothing. there is a smell upstairs that i cannot describe. the smell of decomposing bodies, if anyone here has ever been near a corpse they will know what i mean. the "jumping people" sound continued for about a minute and all of a sudden it got louder. until it got so loud that i went back to the cellar. i think as i am safest here. there are no windows, i have water and food and there is only 1 door that i have locked and barricated now.

believe it or not, this is not good. I wanted to go outside but i couldn't, i had the feeling something bad would happen if i go outside. i'm best in the cellar but i don't know anymore for sure. im confused now, really am.

i'm really thinking of calling my best army companion, the only one i can really trust but he's over 15hr of distance away from here. dunno how to get tru the night.

How long have you lived in the house?

Have you been in the attic before?

> Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)15:13 No.9363456

Since 1980, first my parents rented it and when they moved away i bought it from the owners in 1990. Yes,

i know every single corner is this house, every cm of it.

and yes i have been in the attic many many times before.

Ive called my friend and hes on his way over here but

it may take him up to 15 hours to get here. i cant go outside

because something bad is waiting for me there. the house is silent now, really silent. i never

expekted to be like this but i dont dare to go outside now

> Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)15:22 No.9363516

15 hours of road travel here is maybe like 5 hours of read travel where you live. and he is the only one i can trust with my life.

> Strah !t8z4AZR6.g 01/20/12(Fri)15:29 No.9363550

The roads dont go in a straigt line here, lots of mountains and speed limits in the way. For example,

a route i took a freq. take is 350km (220mls?) in distance,but

it takes me 6 hours if i obey the speed limits.

So, where the hell in Europa are you from anyway? I don't suppose you're from country with German as it's primary language like me, judging by the nature of your mistakes while using English. (Not judging, just analyzing. I'm a language guy.)

I figured. So I guess the Yugoslavian war. Heard some pretty fucked up stories from older guys I used to work with and once from a cab driver. Stories about people burning of their tattoos with cigarettes in disgust. Those tattoos the soldiers had/still have with the "serial number" they had in the army. But also a lot of detailed stuff about torture, raping etc.

It could be PTSD, but then, since the war was a fucking long time ago, which I guess isn't typical for the syndrome...

Guess I can't really help you. (Considering this is all real.)

But then again, I don't frequent this board and am on here again after a long time.

15:43 strange the basement is his now, the house might not be

15:43 strange but the basement is

15:43 Strah something hit it hard

15:43 strange don't shoot it any more

15:43 Strah it was reflext, was just with pistol

15:44 strange god forbid robbers

15:44 Strah theres no robbers if there were i would have found them. noone can hide in my surroundings from me

15:44 strange i believe you

15:45 Strah boredanon: i dont know, i dont know anything nowe

15:45 boredanon does ur friend have facebook or such social networks you could contact him with

15:45 strange How strong is the door to your basement

15:45 Strah no were not that modern

15:45 Strah strange its old this wood

15:45 Strah thick wood

15:46 strange Do you have anything more to reinforce it

15:46 Strah dunno the name

15:46 Strah oak?

15:46 wtf has any of this ever happened before?

15:46 boredanon go scooby doo style and stack your furniture against

15:47 Strah no way

15:47 strange Right.

15:47 wtf i`d bet whatever it is, it`s trying to get you out of the basement.

15:47 paranon I don't really know if it was a safe idea to hide in the basement to be honest. If something gets in there he has almost no way to escape

15:47 wtf i`d bet whatever it is, it`s trying to get you out of the basement.

15:47 strange What is your basement like? What things do you have there?

15:48 Strah wtf: thats the same as i am thinking too

15:48 paranon Wtf, do you mean like drawing him out?

15:48 wtf yes.

15:48 paranon Like a hunt?

15:48 strange He has rations for a week

15:48 strange He needs to stay put

15:48 Strah strange: i have a old couch, some old clothes, my weapons, a freezer and fridge

15:48 wtf like someone said, the basement is his, for now.

15:48 strange At least until his friend gets there

15:49 strange What sort of weapons do you have

15:49 Strah strange: not much, i'm not in duty anymore. just a pistol, hunting rifle and 3 hand grenades

15:50 Zae not a bad armament

15:50 paranon Do you know how old the house is? I know you said something about your parents living in it in the 80's I think?

15:50 Strah yes, they moved in in 1980

15:51 paranon Do you have any idea how long it had been there before hand? And did they ever experience anything that you have listed in the thread before?

15:51 Strah the house is made in 1941

15:51 paranon Ah I see

15:51 strange Strah; rig a grenade to pull and open when the door is opened. Make sure you can remove it when you want to leave. position your fridge/freezer with your couch to give you some cover for when that door gets broken open

15:51 strange If it does, you blow up whatever comes though

15:51 Strah no, i know the previous owners too

15:51 strange if not, you simply take the grenade down

15:51 paranon Well if it's from 1941 that's a lot of years of bloodshed for the Balkans

15:52 boredanon could be something more than spirits

15:52 Strah yes paranon

15:52 wtf boredanon agree

15:52 Strah strange: these are a bit stronger than your usual ones, theyre handmade by a friend. it would probably take me apart too

15:52 boredanon if its an entity as strah describes grenades wont do much

15:56 Strah somehow its still in my mind about how i laughed at those who were telling the dead were coming for them to get even

15:56 Strah if this is true then i am fucked, forever

15:56 Strah forever

15:56 boredanon is there any ways possible out diff than the door

15:57 boredanon is it silent again?

15:58 Strah theyre walking still

15:58 paranon How many people does it sound like?

15:58 Strah but its not even really walking, its weird

15:58 Strah 3 or 4 maybe

15:58 boredanon definitely more than 1?

15:58 Strah boredanon: yes, for sure

15:58 paranon Can you make if it's like paws with claws or boots or anything like that?

15:59 Strah omg you are right

15:59 Strah its like paws

15:59 strange Strah I need to convey how important it is to keep you moral up. Don't let them get to you. Remember and believe that you will overcome this like everything else

15:59 Strah not boots

15:59 Strah that why sounds so weird

16:00 Strah its like the paws of example your dog but bigger

16:00 strange Do you have paint on your lap top? If so, could you make a picture of your basement for me? I am simply interested

16:00 paranon Well if it's paws there are only a couple of things that have paws like that.

16:00 Strah strange: im trying man i really am

16:01 Strah strange: ill try

16:02 strange Thanks, just post it in the thread

16:02 strange Was anything out of place in your house? Other than the open doors?

16:02 strange And do you have any way of communicating with your friend when he gets there?

16:03 boredanon how willl your friend get to you if your stuck in the basement and an unknown entity upstairs??

16:03 Strah strange: we have a code

16:03 Strah boredanon: i really dont know

16:04 paranon Let's hope that your friend doesn't encounter this being.

16:04 Strah boredanon: i told him about it but he wasnt impressed

16:04 boredanon wasnt impressed as he didnt believe you or..?

16:05 strange boredanon, he will know that shit is going down

16:05 strange nobody would ask a 15 hour journey for no reason

16:05 boredanon true

17:23 strange You have killed, you have been in war

17:23 Strah i hear ticking too

17:23 Blurb Hell hounds can't get by the door, unless it's open...

17:23 Strah like nails

17:23 strange The spirits of the ones you killed

17:23 strange Transformed into vengeance

17:23 Zae where is the ticking coming from?

17:23 Strah strange: yes

17:23 paranon ticking like nails. It's waiting.

17:23 strange i.e hellhounds

17:23 Strah Zae: the floor above my head

17:24 Strah its right above me

17:24 Zae is ti possible that whatever it is is trying to come through the roof>

17:24 Strah wait

17:24 Strah brb

17:24 Zae ok

17:24 boredanon shit

17:25 Blurb A lot of hunters toy with their prey. Especially powerful ones.

17:25 Strah its right above me and moves with me

17:25 paranon Nikolai. It's a known fact that most predator animals like to play with their prey. I would assume the same could be said for supernatural beings.

17:25 Strah if i move, they move same

17:26 strange it knows where you are

17:26 Strah i just tried it

17:26 paranon It moves when you move? So, it is most likely connected to you in a way?

17:26 strange Do not shoot your roof

17:26 Strah paranon: yes

17:26 strange Whatever you do

17:26 strange Don't give it any more eyes into your room

17:26 Strah paranon: i just tried it out

17:26 Strah wait wait

17:27 strange Go in the part of your cellar with the wall

17:27 strange See if it can follow you there

17:27 Strah i cant see the door from there

17:27 Strah oh ok

17:28 Strah it follows me there too, but above me

17:28 paranon I don't like that it can follow him step for step without seeing him

17:28 strange That is bad

17:28 Strah how does it know where i am?

17:28 Strah how

17:28 strange It's the bullet hole

17:29 Strah strange: thats closed

17:29 strange Even though the hole is closed

17:29 strange Its energy can still get through

17:29 Strah ok

17:29 strange It can still read through that hole

17:29 strange Mean it can still track you

17:29 trenkz is that soldier guy in here?

17:29 Zae yes

17:29 ashley strah is OP

17:29 strange Be certain that it now knows everything in your basement

17:29 trenkz is he ok?

17:29 strange trenkz, email for logs

17:30 Strah ok

17:31 trenkz Strah, this is almost exactly what happened to my aunt, (she died 2 years ago) I remember going to her house one night and her telling me about this, it sounds almost identical to your story, she said she locked the door to her room, and layed in her bed staring at every thing, then she ended up going to sleep, and she said it stopped

17:31 Strah it walks in a square above me

17:32 Strah why does it walk in a square??

18:32 Strah i dunno man, i feel 1000 emotions right now to be honest

18:32 strange I understand

18:33 Strah its still cold here

18:33 paranon Is it quiet besides the breathing?

18:33 Strah yes

18:33 Strah very quiet

18:33 boredanon how loud is the breathing?

18:34 Blurb Does it seem like an angry warmth? Or a happy warmth?

18:34 paranon What does the breathing sound like? Is it rapid, slow, relaxed, agressive, maybe even raspy?

18:34 Strah doesnt seem happy

18:34 zlass i admire your courage Strah.

18:34 paranon God I love hivemind.

18:34 Strah its raspy

18:34 strange Strah

18:34 strange I think you were right

18:34 strange From the beginning

18:34 Strah zlass: there is no other way, if only you know how frightened i am

18:35 Strah with what? i dont even remember all

18:35 Strah strange: with what?

18:35 strange The souls of the dead.

18:35 Strah im messed up really

18:35 strange You are overwhelmed with feeling

18:35 strange Cold

18:35 Strah im fucked, aint i

18:35 Strah ?

18:35 strange Don't give up hope

18:35 Strah i dont think there is a way out here really

18:35 strange They are projecting onto you

18:36 paranon Well you know if it's The souls of the people he killed, maybe all he needs to do is apologize and ask for forgiveness?

18:36 Strah i did that paranon

18:36 anon123123 a deep grudge isnt resolved that easy

18:36 Strah when i gave the chain

OA note: in the missing part from 16:05 to 17:23 someone asked strah what he had done in the war, or maybe he had something taken from then that is still in the house or in his possesion. After first giving a negative answer, Stah mentioned his golden chain. It was made from gold that he took from the ones that he killed in that village. According to him, he was in a special unit that lead the way for others and killed everything they ran into. Old or young, male or female. Strah passed took the chain from his neck and when trying to put it trough the bullethole in the door, the chain was quickly pulled by something at the other side from the door. The door was getting hot as the cellar was freezing. Strah has placed a metal rod in the bullethole to close it. He burned his hand when he tried to take it out so he could pass the golden chain. Mentioning that golden chain for a second time triggered something in Strah's memory and he realizes something extremely important.

18:39 strange You might deserve it

18:39 Strah omg

18:39 strange And if you really feel that way

18:39 strange Confront it

18:39 paranon ashley the war I believe was from around 1990 to close to 96?

18:39 strange Be honest with it

18:39 Strah guys, i wont get out here alive

18:39 Strah they came for me

18:39 Strah not the chain

18:39 Blurb 1991-1995

18:39 Strah its not the chain, its me

18:39 boredanon what happened 20 years ago??

18:39 strange Strah, I'm sorry.

18:39 anon123123 well, better stay the fuck in there

18:40 Blurb Yep, don't leave. And do not give in.

18:40 boredanon exactly though, did he kill someone?

18:40 strange He was a soldier

18:40 hizu your friend was in the war too right?

18:40 strange He killed many

18:40 hizu is it really recommended for him to come?

18:40 trenkz STRAH, TELL YOUR FRIEND TO STAY AWAY

18:40 trenkz IF HE WAS IN TEH WAR WITH YOU

18:40 trenkz THEY WILL BE GOING FOR HIM NEXT

18:40 Strah 20 -1 -1992, this is the final day for me, 20th as in 20 years ago, 1992 as in 20 years ago, 20th+1 as in the 21th, TODAY

18:41 strange This will all be over by the time his friend gets there

18:41 boredanon strah?

18:41 Strah yes

18:42 Strah this is my final day here

18:42 hizu how can you know that?

18:41 strange His house will be perfectly in tact

18:42 strange All that his friend will find is a bullet hole in the cellar door.

18:42 Strah this is my final day here

18:42 hizu how can you know that?

18:42 hizu Strah

18:42 strange That's how it works when they come for you

18:42 hizu right everything down

18:42 hizu on a paper

18:42 hizu a recording

18:42 hizu to your friend

18:42 paranon Fuckin memoir this shit man.

18:42 Strah i am doing it

18:43 Strah sending him a mail to his phone as we speak

18:43 strange Strah, it seems we are out of options.

18:43 hizu write everything that has happennend

18:43 Strah omg its all like a puzzle

18:43 hizu every detail

18:43 Strah now i get it

18:43 Blurb They'd presumably be after him after you.

18:43 Blurb Save his life, at the very least.

18:43 strange Blurb his friend has nothing to do with this

18:43 strange It's come to claim him

18:43 PotatoChip I don't know if it helps, But I prayed for you. Don't ever give up man.

18:44 hizu his friend was in the war

18:44 boredanon strange does this mean he is literally.. done?

18:44 Blurb If his friend was with him, it'd probably be a collective effort. Especially if there were others with you.

18:44 hizu he would also be recognized

18:44 strange Yes. Essentially.

18:44 Strah 20 years ago, on the 20th of the 1st i went into this village

18:44 boredanon oh.. wow.

18:45 ashley my question is.. why would it wait 20 years?

18:45 Strah i went into this village and created hell on earth

18:45 boredanon 20th day.. 20 years?

18:46 Blurb Was it just you Strah?

18:46 Strah Blurb: i was 'cleaning' the way for others

18:47 anon123123 just wait till daylight

18:47 anon123123 dont leave there until then... if you really should die from this it doesnt matter when, right?

18:47 anon123123 better die in daylight

18:48 Strah its 1:47 here now

18:48 Strah sun rises at 7:15

18:49 hizu Strah.... any sounds? any smell? anything?

18:49 Strah 20th/1st/1992, it always amazed me that i survive that, how could i forget

18:50 Strah hizu: same as all the time, only silent

18:50 strange Strah, it would be beneficial to you to remember everything you can

18:50 Strah boredanon: i killed a complete village that day

18:50 ashley ok now.. i have never had issues with it... but 3am is considered some sort of "witching hour"... does anyone think it'll play into this situation at all?

18:50 strange Everything you felt, smelled, heard

18:50 strange Everything

18:50 strange Recall it all

18:53 strange Strah, do you know empathy?

18:53 Strah Blurb: my missions were never on the regular news

18:53 strange They want you to know what they felt

18:53 Strah normal news only shows normal war

18:54 Strah i had this coming

18:54 Blurb What country specifically?

18:54 Strah how could i not see it

18:54 Strah Bosnia

18:54 paranon Ahh

18:55 Strah doesnt matter now anyway

18:55 PotatoChip Do you still hear it?

18:55 Strah its silent now

18:55 paranon Door hot?

18:55 Strah but the smell is more

18:55 Strah lemme see

18:55 strange

18:55 Strah yes, hot

18:56 PotatoChip Use all senses, If you can.

18:57 Strah the letter is done

18:58 PotatoChip Good.

18:58 Strah everything comes together now.

18:58 strange Good luck

18:59 strange Be accepting

18:59 Strah the smell is stronger tho

18:59 Strah even the time probably matches

19:00 Blurb Just... Be careful.

19:00 Strah i went into the willage at night, probably the same time the door slammed yesterday

19:01 Strah caused a massacre, hell on earth they called it later, now they caming for me

19:01 Strah the phone cant charge its dead

19:01 strange If he wants to make it through this he has to open himself up to it

19:01 strange And even then, nothing is certain

19:01 Strah let me put this letter somewhere

19:02 paranon You could type it onto the computer and let us read it before hand >.>

19:03 Strah paranon: its really personal and in bosnian..

19:03 PotatoChip Its probably private, so I wouldn't suggest it.

19:03 paranon Ah, damn. I don't know Bosnian.

19:03 paranon Strah. I'm guessing you're around 43?

19:04 Strah paranon: 42

19:04 Strah 1970

19:04 strange The things that he has done, none of us can understand

19:05 paranon Would they not repeat this?

19:05 hizu thats clear srange

19:05 strange The torment of souls killed in cold blood is something we will never understand

19:05 hizu but still if the time actually matches

19:05 strange This is between him, and them

19:05 hizu at 7 am maybe something could happen

19:07 Blindalex117 Mr Bellic?

19:07 Strah Nezovem se Bellic.

19:08 Strah i never believed this exists

19:08 PotatoChip right.

19:08 Strah that this was possible

19:08 Strah never

19:09 PotatoChip I hope many keep to think that way. Its perhaps for the safest

19:09 ashley i never thought so either... i wish i could help more. ive never dealt with anything even close to this

19:09 Strah guys, never raise a weapon agains a fellow human

19:10 Strah it always get back to you

19:10 Strah always

19:12 Strah its walking in square again

19:12 strange Check the door

19:12 Strah guess the chain didnt do anything at all

19:12 Strah ok

19:13 Strah door is still hot

19:13 PotatoChip Is the rest of the room still cold?

19:13 Strah the metal rod is really hot too

19:13 paranon Shine that light through the hole.

19:13 Strah yes, cellas is cold. i'm in a jacket and 2nd pants here

19:14 Strah cellar

19:14 Strah the light goes nowhere??

19:14 PotatoChip you mean, it doesn't reach the other side?

19:15 Strah the light does not hit the wall of other side

19:15 Strah ?

19:15 strange It's not going nowhere..

19:15 strange It's still there

19:15 strange Blocking the hole

19:15 Strah wouldnt i see it then?

19:15 strange Not if its super close

19:15 ashley then.. what's pacing in the living room? >.>

19:15 PotatoChip its darkness remember

19:15 strange Ashley, there is probably more than one thing

19:16 paranon So the thing in question is pitch black.

19:16 Strah its like you shine a light in the sky, it just goes on until it vanished

19:18 Strah my firend mailed back

19:18 strange If it is spirits of the dead come to claim him

19:18 Blindalex117 I was lurking on x at like 4 when I saw this so I missed a lot too.

19:18 strange What did he say?

19:19 paranon Ok let's put it this way, if this thing is right up against the door. Trying shooting the damn thing again

19:19 Strah he's coming anyway

19:19 strange But, if it's spirits they want him to know what they went through

19:19 Strah omg i would give my life for him not to do so

19:19 strange Yeah

19:19 anon123123 oh god the irony, strah

19:20 strange I still feel it is time to take a stand, Strah

19:20 Strah i think so too, its stomping every corner again

19:21 Strah and the scream in the middle

19:21 Strah and the stomping to the right after the screem

19:22 ashley its still screaming?

19:22 Strah not yet

19:22 Strah its colder now

19:22 PotatoChip is the door stil hot?

19:22 Strah finger are rly cold

19:23 Strah i check

19:23 paranon Have you tried screaming really loud at them to leave?

19:23 PotatoChip paranon yes he has, but then it began stomping real bad etc.

19:24 Strah door is not hot anymore, but its getting really cold now, real cold

19:24 strange Strah it's time to face this shit

19:27 Strah its doing square, stomps, and goes to the right. all the time the same

19:27 Strah PotatoChip: yes

19:27 Strah it must mean something

19:27 Blurb It seems to be becoming more agile, impatient even.

19:28 strange Strah, this is the end

19:28 strange It's either going to come for you, or you for it

19:28 anon123123 maybe it isnt just one entity?

19:28 paranon Well earlier he said it sounded like 3 or 4 people

19:28 anon123123 and im sure you didnt just kill one person (sorry to get back to it again)

19:28 paranon but the thing that threw me was he said it almost sounded like paws

19:28 strange It's up to you now to decide how this goes

19:29 Strah anon123123: it was a small village

19:29 PotatoChip Can you imagine where exactly he is walking it the room above you and with what he might be interacting?

19:29 anon123123 ok, but still multiple people

19:29 paranon It still reminds me of a Wendigo or Skin-Walker.

19:30 Strah is it calling something?

19:31 paranon What like calling other entities?

19:31 Strah i dont know?

19:31 strange It is taking control Strah

19:31 paranon I guess it could possibly be calling upon others.

19:31 strange It's tired fo waiting

19:31 Strah its weird that it constantly does the same

19:31 strange It's claiming your house, and you

19:31 PotatoChip that sounds awfully negative

19:32 strange It's an awfully negative thing

19:33 PotatoChip Did it start making those squares after you shot or also before it?

19:33 Strah after i shot it

19:33 paranon It also started screaming after he initially shot.

19:33 Strah well, at the door. not it

19:33 Strah paranon: but that was long after the shot

19:34 PotatoChip It seems that loud noises tend to... do something with it

19:34 paranon True. But it didn't do it before hand either

19:34 PotatoChip screaming made him stamp, shooting ...

19:34 Strah true

19:34 leaper have you called your fiancee??

19:34 strange Is it getting colder still

19:34 Strah i cant, but ive written a letter

19:34 paranon Let's say it doesn't like loud noises.

19:34 Strah its freezing strange, really freezing

19:35 Strah wait

19:35 Strah i found something else

19:36 Strah i found this drawing: **note:no file, missing.***

19:37 PotatoChip demon of war...?

19:37 strange Remember, his friend wont be there til afternoon tomorrow

19:38 Strah strange: then it will be all over

19:38 Strah its not even doing squares anymore, but there was no scream

19:42 strange Completely unrelated im sure, but all my lights just went out. My computer didn't turn off though

19:42 Strah strange: ????

19:42 Strah are youa lright?

OA note: This is the moment where user "Strange" is getting some similar things as user "Strah" has had. One can notice in the following period that it's like Strah is worrying about that and Strange's wellbeing.

19:43 strange Yeah I'm good. Just in the dark.

19:43 ashley i would have shit enormous bricks Strange

19:43 strange ashley, weirder shit has happened lol

19:43 Blurb Way weirder shit.

19:43 Perun what if it is ELIM - lord of attrition ? Look at his sign... a square and those markings look like he was stomping the corners... also he is playing with u for a long time--- attrition

19:43 Strah what is attrition?

19:44 paranon Attrition is the wearing down of a side in war, a war of attrition

19:44 Strah strange: is your light back?

19:44 strange Nope, can't turn it on either

19:44 Strah fuse?

19:46 paranon Strah I mean, lets say you open the door to the cellar and you are standing as though you are leaving it, would you continue straight ahead to leave your house?

19:47 Strah 2:47

19:48 Strah im gonna smoke a cigarette and go up

19:50 strange My fuse box is untouched

19:50 Strah i'm going up in a few minutes strange

19:51 strange Perun you got that off a googled picture

19:52 Strah i have 3 grenades on my jacket, a pistol in left hand and the shotgun in right, if anything goes wrong i just blow averything to hell

19:52 paranon Wait wtf, where di you get a shotgun?

19:53 Strah paranon: i always had it

19:53 Blurb He did have a rifle, which is sometimes synonymous with shotguns

19:53 paranon Why the hell didn't you use that instead of the pistol to shoot the door!?!

19:53 Strah paranon: its too powerful, would blow it to pieces

19:53 Strah god knows what would enter then

19:54 Strah guys, this is gonna sound silly

19:54 Strah but do something for me, ok?

19:54 strange Sure

19:55 paranon Strah, we got ya man.

19:55 Perun ok

19:55 strange Strah you can rest assured that a candle will burn for you in my window, and none of us will forget what is about to happen to you

19:55 strange Whether you come back, or not

19:56 Strah it screams now!

19:56 Blurb I'll leave a light on in my house.

19:56 paranon I'll pour one out for ya.

19:56 paranon Don't have a candle though

19:56 Strah my nose is bleeding?

19:57 Blurb STRAH! You are the Baddest MF I know, remember that.

19:57 Lurker25 Pressure?

19:57 strange Your nose is bleeding?

19:57 golo it's time best of luck

19:57 strange Please tell me you're joking

OA note: User "Strange" is amazed because his nose started bleeding the same time Strah mentioned it.

19:57 Strah not joke, ears now too

19:57 paranon Scream right back at that motherfucker

19:57 Strah i go!

19:57 Perun NO!

19:58 golo regret and sacrifice!

19:58 Strah its unlocked but cant open

19:58 Strah cant at all

19:58 strange Blow the door off with the shotgun

19:59 Lurker25 Don't blow the door off it can offer protection (I think)

19:59 strange Lurker he wants out

19:59 Strah i shot the lock off, dunno where all this blood comes from, no pain, cold, im going, bye

20:03 *** Strah quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

OA note: this is the last we heard from Strah, at 19:59:59pm chatlog time, 02:59:59am local time. After 20 years, at the 20th day and the 20th hour he stept towards the demons that were coming for him. Note that (as an additional thin) that it came to and end at 3:03am local time, the exact time it all started a day before, the exact time he started the slaughtering of those villagers 20 years ago. The devils hour.

Part V: Dream

A day after all this an other user falls asleep at 20:00pm and states the following.. Chatlog:

00:18 anon123123 whats going on? did i miss something?

00:19 brother where you there yesterday?

00:18 anon123123 whats going on? did i miss something?

00:19 brother where you there yesterday?

00:21 brother so i was there the whole night, didnt sleep

00:21 brother fell asleep few 2 hours ago, just for a nap

00:21 brother and that fucker came in my dreams, sthe strah dude that is.

00:22 brother lol came

00:22 anon123123 you could read that the wrong way, but i get what you're saying

00:22 brother haha

00:22 brother well, i knew i was dreaming somehow so i asked him where he was

00:23 brother but he didn't answer me that

00:23 brother he told me he could be found between "kriva kamena" whatever that was

00:23 anon123123 i wouldn't read too much out of it tough, dreaming about stuff you entcountered while awake is a way of the human mind to deal with shit, but i guess i don't have to tell you that, i'm sure you frequent /x/ more than i do

00:23 anon123123 wat

00:24 brother yeah kriva kamena, at least thats what i understood somehow

00:24 brother so i strarted googling as soon as i woke up

00:25 brother "kriva kamena" means "crooked rocks" in yugoslavian

00:25 brother he lived in a house made of stone/rocks right?

00:25 brother thats what he said in the chat

00:27 anon123123 wait, afaik yugoslavian isn't a language by itself

00:27 brother nope.jpg

00:27 brother it was before that war started

00:27 brother its now called serbo-croatian

00:28 brother but anyway, i called my ex-girl, she's serbian

00:28 brother and asked her what it could mean, maybe its a saying or something?

00:29 brother so she asked me to say exacly what i did hear

00:30 brother i told her it was something like "kriva kamena", but he says something before it what i could not understand. Something like "match" or like it

00:31 anon123123 the fuck...

00:31 brother Well, now for the "wtf" part..

00:31 anon123123 he said he was bosnian, right?

00:32 brother he probably was talking slang bosnian. "zmedj ", not "match"

00:32 brother zmedj, as in "in between"

00:32 brother yes, he was bosnian

00:33 brother so now we had "in between crooked rocks" or something.

00:34 brother now, and this stunned me, her dad was overhearing us and started laughing. He said that "kriva" and " kamena" was old slang for 2 villages.

00:34 brother this is where we got disconnected, could get her on the phone since.

00:35 brother So i started looking for those villages

00:35 brother and found something very close like it, the names that is.

00:36 brother "krivaja" and " kamenica"

00:37 anon123123 dozens of kamenijas out there
