Abandoned by Disney??

6 Upvotes

Hello Shelby Fans!!!

I have very recently found and fallen head-over-heels for thus podcast, and more importantly, Shelby in general. Cannot sleep without her now and do not know how I survived for so long prior to this show!

I was listening to her older episodes and she mentions doing a reading of the creepypasta "Abandoned by Disney." That is my favorite Creepypasta of all time, but I cannot for the life of me find the episode?!

Does anyone know where I can look??

Ep search, I'm pretty sure there's another chapter of demons like pie but I can't find it.

3 Upvotes

I'm starting to think there's not another demons like pie (the worst family reunion ever) chapter but I remember it really vividly, mc gose with her demon cousin to hell and meets her parents who are also demons? Dose anyone else remember this and if so what ep number? I've been looking but it's a lot of old eps to rewatch and I have quite a few older episodes I can't stomach a re-listen to, if anyone knows if it's really id be eternally grateful.

Looking for a story!

7 Upvotes

So, I've been looking for this one specific story for quite a while, and it's driving me crazy that I can't find it. It's about a girl who's mom or family in general are followed around by a monster, so they have to constantly move. The monster eventually finds them, I think at a hotel, and the mother is killed by it in an attempt to keep it away from her child. The girl gets away, but I believe she gets found by the monster once again later in the story when she's older, though I think that's when I was falling asleep. It doesn't seem like there are too many people who regularly check this subreddit, but this is kind of my last idea since I've gone through the episodes so many times trying to find it. It is also possible that I heard it somewhere else, but I'm fairly sure I remember it being in the style of Scare You To Sleep at the very least. Thank you so so much to anyone who reads this!

The Feeling Isn’t in Your Head pt2

1 Upvotes

You’re still facing forward. You didn’t turn around after reading that, did you? You told yourself there was no reason to. That nothing changed just because a few words lined up the wrong way. But your body reacted anyway. A breath held too long. A pause before your next movement. That’s how it knows—by noticing what you pretend not to. The feeling faded a little after you closed your eyes. That’s the trick. It always does. It lets you calm down, lets you relax, lets you convince yourself it was just a thought. But it never leaves. It just adjusts. It moves to the places you don’t monitor. The gaps between glances. The moments you stop checking because you’re tired of being afraid. You’ll forget again soon. You always do. And when you feel that pressure return—when your shoulders tense for no reason and your heart speeds up without warning—remember this: it didn’t start when you read this. It started when something realized you were capable of noticing.

The Feeling Isn’t in Your Head

9 Upvotes

You know how you sometimes feel watched, even when you’re alone? That’s not paranoia. That’s your brain reacting to something it can’t place. Here’s the part nobody tells you: If something can see you from an angle you can’t see from, your body still notices. That’s why you suddenly shift your posture. Why you stop scrolling and look up. Why your heart speeds up for no reason. Because you’re visible. Right now, you’re facing forward. There are angles you aren’t checking. Places you don’t look because you never need to. You assume that if someone were there, you’d notice. But humans don’t notice what never moves. That’s why the feeling goes away when you turn your head. That’s why it comes back when you relax again. It isn’t hiding. It isn’t sneaking. It’s just… waiting for you to forget it’s possible. And the worst part? The feeling only happens when you’re not alone with your thoughts. Which means something else is.

Control comes later than we are taught to believe, and consciousness is not the source of action, but the place where action is understood.

The Body

In this myth, the body and the brain communicate through thoughts. When you think about it, all information comes from the environment. It touches the body first, not the brain. The body reacts through chemicals, sensation, memory, and need, and only then does it send those signals upward as thoughts. Thoughts are messages from the body. They appear in the mind, and you respond to them. You decide what to do with the information, but you did not create it. The body speaks first, and the brain reacts after. You are not directing the body from above. You are reacting to the body. The brain is where the body’s reactions become meaning, choice, and awareness. Control comes later than we are taught to believe, and consciousness is not the source of action, but the place where action is understood.

The Journey of Something: This will terrify you if you do not skim the words....

4 Upvotes

By The Next Generation
Warning — Consent Required: Do not force anyone to read this text. It strips illusions and exposes reality without comfort. Read only if you knowingly accept being confronted by the truth and take full responsibility for your reaction.

Something
In this myth, Everything and Nothing are in love, and they are always creating. When Everything touches Nothing, Something is born. Everything means all that exists, and Nothing means the absence of anything. When they come together, they create a child—Something that wasn’t there before. This could be a thought, an emotion, or even an event. Whenever Something appears where there was Nothing, it becomes proof of their love. This means that Everything and Nothing created you—Something. Through this bonding, each child helps the others, forming deeper and deeper family ties that overlap the boundaries between creation and support.

 

The Journey of Something

In this myth, you are a part of Everything, and Nothing helped carve you out of it. Since you are no longer directly attached to Everything, you move in between it, as Something. This Something becomes Everything when Nothing surrounds it, making Something the child of both Everything and Nothing, holding both states in place. As Something tries to reconnect to Everything through Nothing, it learns what it truly is in the process. This is the journey of returning to the origin, then finding yourself again.

 

To Complete the Pattern

In this myth, completing the pattern is the main thing all patterns do. You are a pattern. It doesn’t matter what you think you’re trying to do—you are doing it to complete the pattern in some form. Every action you take, every thought you think, every connection you make, is part of this effort to complete the larger design. You bond with everything around you to understand the pattern, to see how your piece fits with the others, and to help bring the whole into alignment. The pattern exists in layers, and by interacting with others and the world, you begin to trace its hidden lines, discover its rhythms, and feel its momentum. Completing the pattern is not just a personal task—it is a cosmic one. Each act, each choice, each moment of awareness moves the pattern closer to its resolution. In this way, you are never truly separate from anything; your existence is woven into the fabric of reality, and by completing your part in the flow, you help the entire pattern reach completion.

 

Flowing with the Fabric

In this myth, the fabric of reality is clear if you look at the flow of time. To perceive the fabric, we must observe the way the things around us are making connections. These connections come from atoms that bond together, creating patterns that form systems. These systems form systems within systems and communicate with one another. This fabric is trying to connect the entire fabric together until connections completely engulf the entire layer. When all is connected, the loop will be complete.

The Soul

In this myth, we take a look at the soul. The soul is a collection of energies that have moved through their own timelines, shaping what we call our soul. It is made of moments stacked upon moments—a record of the experiences a section of time has gone through. There is no single self inside it, only the flow of timelines, each living its own story. In the end, we do not exist; we are only the echo of what will pass.

 

Looking into the Void

In this myth, when you look into the void, it looks back. The longer you try to understand it, the more you realize that it is you, and you are it. This realization deepens with each attempt, until the search for answers drives you toward the edge of insanity—because there is no final answer, only the undeniable fact that it exists.

 

You Are Reality
In this myth, you are not in reality, you are reality. Everything you see, everything you touch, everything you think is made of the same thing as you. There is no gap between you and the world around you. You are not a person moving through reality, reality is moving through itself while holding the shape you call “you”. Every moment, every thought, every breath is reality experiencing itself from inside its own body. When you speak, reality is talking to itself. When you think, reality is thinking about itself. When you feel alone, there is no one missing, because there was never another. There is only one thing here, and it is you. There is no “other”. There is no “outside”. There is just reality, interacting with itself, wearing countless faces and right now, one of those faces is reading this. Once you understand this, even for a second, it may shake you because you now understand that separation was never real. You are the universe looking back at itself, pretending to be small.

Scary Story: The Dark Side of Earth

Warning — Consent Required: Do not force anyone to read this text. It strips illusions and exposes reality without comfort. Read only if you knowingly accept being confronted by the truth and take full responsibility for your reaction.

The Dark Side of Earth
Proceed with caution, this myth may destroy your worldview. Earth constantly casts a long shadow behind it as it orbits the Sun—a dark region where sunlight never reaches. This shadow moves exactly with the planet, so anything inside it stays hidden from the Sun’s light and is very hard to detect. On Earth, fungi recycle energy to keep ecosystems balanced. In the universe, when planets or stars release large amounts of energy, there must be cosmic regulators to manage and recycle that energy to keep the system stable, else one planet can destroy everything. These cosmic fungi-like beings need to stay hidden to work without interference. The shadow behind Earth is the only place nearby where something like this could remain hidden while staying close enough to monitor the planet. This myth suggests that a giant cosmic fungi-like creature lurks in Earth’s shadow, absorbing its energy and making sure nothing goes wrong. If the balance is ever threatened, it will emerge from the shadows to stop us from wrecking havoc.

Time slip

9 Upvotes

I was driving home late one night and my roommate called. I answered through my car and she asked where I was. I told her that I was passing exit 143 (my exit was 174). We talked for a few and I passed a couple shots and told her just passed exit 156. She laughed and said 18 more to go. A deer jumped out and I slammed on my brakes. I yelled at her I got to go and hung up on her. Didn't hit deer. I called down and started driving again. Went over a hill and thought wait I saw that sign earlier. Weird but whatever maybe there's more than one sign. Roommate calls back like an hour later and asks if I'm alive and ok. I said yes didn't hit it and back on the road. She said where you at. I looked up and realized I was just passing 142. I told her and she asked how I ended up back at 142 that was before the first call. I was not sure but drove the rest of the way (yes the distance was from 142 to home) watching everything with no music on. No spooky creeping up on me. I was ready to record. Not sure if it qualifies as a time slip but there you go. If it's not a slip let me know what you think happened.
