Ted the Caver Explained (Creepypasta Horror Story)

Imagine being in total darkness. It’s unfathomable. There always seems to be a source of light no matter where you are. However, in the deep depths of a cave, someone can experience true darkness. A darkness so black that you can taste it. This is what Ted and his friend B found in Mystery Cave. A darkness and an evil that would change their lives forever.

i think the most terrifying part about the ted the caver story is the fact that he never uptaded the page ever again after he went back for the camera.

[@colea2969]

My interpretation of the creature is that it’s a humanoid beast with a spindly, yet immensely powerful, hairless body, with long razor sharp claws, jagged needle like fangs, slitted nostrils and bulging, blood shot red eyes.

[@donutstudios4783]

@@colea2969 that’s oddly specific, what makes u say that?

[@jazangeles397]

correction: the true reason why B want to go into the hole in the first place is because there is a saying in the cave exploring community called “If it blows, it goes!” which means that if there is air movement there is likely a large cave up ahead

This story goes hard, I think part of the reason it's so effective is that the original blog was written by someone with actual experience in spelunking. Makes the writing feel more "realistic", I guess, Lovecraftian elements aside.

[@zekeyeager1458]

When I heard about the hieroglyphs, I kinda let my imagination run wild. What I was thinking at first was that some ancient human like people such as Neanderthals or some early undiscovered people were in that cave. I took it a step further and imagined that the entry to the cave acted like a time warp where if you entered, you were thrown back say between 50,000-100,000 years and somehow that tunnel acted as some sort of wormhole that connected these two worlds. Me second idea was that this was simply the entrance to hollow earth. Anyone who knows about this, go watch King Kong

Nobody that knows anything about placing lines for anchors for climbing or especially going into a cave would use a tree that would wobble when stressed.

Well, a lot of trees will wobble with a dynamic load with something the size of a small car.

@@pareidoliarocks no not a solid anchor not even a car. Plus a line under stress would almost instantly be cut with a moderately sharp knife. Pretty sure whole thing made up.

I always found the drawn glyphs interesting. You can figure out what they mean, but it would've taken an extremely creative person to make them as simple as they are, while also describing a complex scenario.

[@gabrielladiaz6933]

That’s so true! it’s amazing how drawn glyphs have eventually involved into written language, culture! I can imagine in that era if two tribes met and couldn’t communicate verbally, drawn glyphs could of helped them communicate in some other medium that was instinctually universal

@Raheem Stephens 😆

[@facebookaphobia1523]

@Raheem Stephens The sun tastes like dragon’s breath, like the flames of a phoenix, like Zeus’s lightning bolts, hotter than the hottest fire, so hot it goes beyond flavor. It tastes like the pain of every cell in your body evaporating instantly. The sun tastes like a summer day. It smells like dandelions and freshly-mowed grass and the sweat of boys playing basketball in the driveway. It tastes like the beach, salty, refreshing, and bright. The sun tastes like relief. On a bitterly cold winter day, one warm ray of sun tastes sweeter than sugar. The sun tastes like the broccoli you didn't want to eat when you were five years old. It tells you, “It’s time to work! You can't go to bed now!” when all you want to do is sleep. It tastes bland and sugarless. The sun tastes like the countryside. It tastes like pine, spicy and musky like wild thyme, sweet like wild roses. It tastes like the chirping of crickets and cicadas. It tastes like your favorite summer vacation. The sun tastes like anything you can taste in it.
