How is r/truecreepy different?

Check out this helpful guide

This subreddit is a place for creepy things, anything that you can think of that is genuinely creepy. This is no place for anything but creepy things.

RULES

WE ARE NOT /R/CREEPY. Please keep cross posting to a minimum and use your better judgement. If your post can be cross posted to a humour or cute subreddit then it is probably not appropriate. If the content you are posting won't inspire nightmares find a more appropriate subreddit. The community is in control, if your post gets reported it will be scrutinised by the Mods and a decision will be made whether or not to allow the submission to stay.
Comments that add no value to the discussion are discouraged and will be deleted. This includes "this isn't creepy" as well as "shouldn't have clicked this at [x time]". Questions, discussion and analyses are welcomed. Furthermore we kindly request that you be civil and respectful in the comments section. Treat other redditors like human beings or risk being banned.
No political posts
No memes.
Please use the NSFW tag if your post is NSFW.
This is not r/gore. Please go there if you want to see disemboweled bodies.
Your post doesn't necessarily have to be "true" in the most formal sense of the word, works of fiction are highly encouraged. The true in the subreddit's name refers to being loyal and faithful to what is creepy and unsettling.
Be excellent to each other
Don't spam. This will not be tolerated and usually results in a ban. Submitting your own YouTube channels will be kept to an even higher standard for what belongs in this subreddit, and more than one self-promoting link per month may result in a ban. Numbered submissions (such as 'FIVE SCARY MOMENTS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA') will be removed.

If your post gets deleted please do not take it personally. This community tries to uphold a very high standard and as such we encourage people to post only the highest quality nightmare fuel.

SHOUTOUTS

Please don't engage in the following

Bully other users
