What is the creepiest post on reddit?
- Easily the letsnotmeet where an ex marine and his brother go camping in the Alabama wilderness and a pack of rednecks approaches their camp at night and shoots/trashes it after they had just abandoned it minutes prior and hidden nearby.

- Wasn't there that guy who asked for help divorcing his wife or something and she killed their children? Something along those likes
Edit: thanks premelia for finding the story.
The gist of it is that's a dude finds out his wife is cheating on him with a neighbor. Upon declaring he wants a divorce and is taking the kids, the wife stabs and kills the kids (aged 7 and 3)
This all stemmed from a Reddit post where he asked for advice on how to proceed, fairly standard situation by most standards, but his wife reacted in a way nobody ever thought would happen. It's a huge tragedy.

- This is pretty long, I'll try to summarize. OP had a loud couple living above him; the guy got hauled off to jail (DV) and the girl asked for OP's number under the guise of protection should the BF return.
Well, from that she turned into a full-bore stalker, breaking into his apartment and surprising him virtually nude, propositioning both the OP and his GF, tracking OP down at his new apartment after he moved...full blown batshit crazy with several arrests mixed in.
OP moves several states away, things quiet down. His now ex-GF contacts him years later, apparently batshit girl showed up at her work demanding info on OP and security was forced to intervene.
Some time after that, she tracks down OP's brother in college, more demands, gets thrown out on her ass. Doesn't give up, shows up at brother's job, gets beaten up by his (female) boss.
At some point, I forget when, batshit also masquerades as her own therapist trying to contact OP on Facebook. He ignores, of course.
Finally, batshit is found dead at the bottom of a canyon or something months after the fact. It's scary as fuck what mental illness can do to someone. An innocent encounter became nearly a decade of obsession. I'll never forget that post; it didn't get nearly the attention it should have.
Edit: the stalker is the one who died.

- Years ago I read a post where someone thought someone was living in their house but they couldn't point out why they thought this. Later, they realized a small Asian lady was living in their cabinets and had been for months. This was a long time ago so I may he misremembering but this one shook me for a while

- Probably the guy who thought his landlord was leaving him notes and Redditors pointed out that he was being poisoned by carbon monoxide

- There was a post in /r/TheTruthIsHere a woman said she kept losing large amounts of time when she'd run into a particular man. It stuck with me and I never saw a conclusion.

- I saw a post one time about someone that had one of those smart door knobs with a camera. when the camera would detect motion it would send to his phone the line: "you have a visitor!" and he would keep getting that notification and for some nights at random hours of the night between 11pm to around 2am, he got that notification but the camera didn't detect anything. whoever kept showing up, showed up about 4 or 5 times at 11-12 but then he showed up at 4am and pointed his face at the camera and looked very creepy (I think he was wearing a mask), after that he didn't show up again. I'll link it if I find it.

- I saw a confession to a murder. He lived in Hamilton Ontario or Kitchener Ontario, then fled to Buffalo New York. Before he fled he wrote out what he was thinking prior to anyone knowing he murdered his girlfriend. By the time i read his post he was wanted for murder. It was really sick reading his confession written right after such a horrific crime as he tried to rationalize it to himself and the broader reddit community.

- On r/letsnotmeet a woman answered a Craigslist ad about an apartment. A man who claims to be the landlord answers and during the tour she notices there's no furniture and he starts to block the exit. He asks her to look in the basement and by a stroke of luck or genius she is able to escape. Cops find a tripwire on the basement stairs and homemade torture devices in the basement. Oh, and the room he slept in was covered in porn pictures. Horrifying.

- The top story on /r/LetsNotMeet is a [verified account of someone who was inside the Aurora theater during the mass shooting in 2012.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/547omy/i_survived_a_mass_shooting_at_a_movie_theater/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=browse&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=LetsNotMeet) So, that's pretty far up on the list.

- there was this guy on /r/legaladvice who was stalking an IGN employee and asking for advice on how to be her friend and if it was legal for her to block him
his youtube was chock full of random snapchat screenshots of the woman
he threatened suicide but had another account. I have no idea what happened to the other account
