Anyone have pictures of "The Shed"

Local H Jay

I remember this old ass post in the creepy thread, a bunch of pictures of a foggy forest with a really weird shed at the end. I know I'm not the first to ask if anyone has the pics saved but, if by chance anyone does I'd love to see it again.

Ringo

Just a bunch of broken links in the old creepy threads is all that I can find

IT'S NOT HERE

ooooOOOOOOOOooooooo

Actually the thread from 2008 does a lot of shit talking about "the shed" and I don't think it's the one that I remember (or that you might be asking for?) because the one I remember wasn't necessarily a typed story with pictures, but more of a photojournal that just got creepier and creepier as the pictures went on.

Local H Jay

Yeah I didn't think it would turn up, just hoping some old lurker sees this and is like "Oh yeah!"

NightDragon

I totally remember this, but I can't find the pictures anywhere, either.

I seem to remember the photos were taken at night, right? Evergreen woods, and the shed at the end looked like it might've been at the edge of somebody's property, because there was tall grass in front of it?

That's definitely Old Internet.

You know I brace myself every time I check this thread in case one of you has managed to find it.

Are you just looking on the forum or using GIS?

Local H Jay

GIS, the forum links are ded af

I have decent google fu so I imagine unless the original poster could be tracked down it didn't spread past this site.

ceres

I am so tempted to help look but I also don't really want to find it.

Typing "creepy shed" into GIS doesn't seem like a recipe for happy dreams.

knitdan

I found a lot of creepy sheds including one in Abilene where some dude put pictures of local realtors on the outside

Neaden

The shed was a major letdown. It got talked up a bunch and ended up being not creepy, so whatever you are imagining is going to be better than the truth.

Xaquin

I'm sad I do not have this =(

I don't know if the mods can look things up by the old ID or by the old Names. Near as I can tell that thread didn't make it past the great sundering that happened a few years before we moved to Vanilla.

@Magus` said they created the thread and the story was originally posted by @siliconenhanced who doesn't appear to post here anymore.

Can a mod quote/edit this post to get the original photobucket links?

Local H Jay

Just putting in the album url is saying it's a private folder

So close yet so far

bowen

Yeah it looks like photobucket is even more shit than usual right now.

Local H Jay

And plugginf in just the user URL says no such user exists. I'm thinking they just purge older accounts and make everything private but it's likely gone

bowen

Here's another set:

I found those in a @Merovingi post, are they same links as the @Asura-Valkyrie post?

Also, why did these guys hosting those pics all go cold in 2008?

Maybe that's not the one "the shed" is in though

It looks like it was stripped from your thread creation history though. Probably during the DB crash in the early naughts that annoyed AlphaMonkey.

Local H Jay

Also telling the original photos are "The Shack" not "The Shed"

Still no google search results. I remember foam expanding out the sides, expanding foam insulation with a bit of mold (could be my memory going wild)

ArbitraryDescriptor

Well neither of their passwords were pen15Arcade, so I'm out of guesses. I sent a support ticket to photobucket asking if the photos would still be on the account. Not really anticipating an answer.

bowen

Yeah I vaguely recall the pictures and the mist on the one image.

But I was like just out of high school or something like that. It was definitely a looooooooong time ago.

@Seriously

Best I can do! @Local H Jay

SatanIsMyMotor

That literally just looks like a smoking shed for fish and/or wildlife.

In fact, it looks like an awesome smokeshack.

bowen

I remember there was a few more and one looking inside, hopefully seriously has the rest of the pictures stashed away somewhere.

Xaquin

there was one with the door shut up with chicken wire too

good job finding those Bowen

ceres

Now that it's daylight I did the search for more pictures of that shed, and I didn't find any that looked like it but I have to say there were a ton of creepier sheds than that. Including one with Squidward.

Local H Jay

Fucking awesome work, Bowen

Ringo

Ah okay, I remember that one

Yeah not as creepy as the photojournal walk through the woods that ends in a foggy shack

ArbitraryDescriptor

Oooh. I was thinking of the story with what was apparently a house, not a shed, and that he burned to the ground.

IAW proper "found a haunted murder house in the woods" procedure.

Having trouble getting the link to work, it's Lanz's post towards the bottom.

Go make sure it has not returned.

Gennenalyse Rueben

Man, this reminded me of the creepy threads. I miss those a lot.

Also I arrived to say that I thought I had pics of THE SHED lying around on my drive somewhere only for bowen to beat me to it with actual images.

EDIT: Just found it and I only had one. It's the one with the busted-looking purple door.

bowen

I'm really hoping we can get the others.. I think it'd be great to actually have working copies of stuff that happened in forum history.

Shogun

i got all hyped to see this creepy shed and to say I am underwhelmed by some dudes smokehouse with a purple door is putting it nicely.

waited for days went through all those wretched non-loading photobucket links



edit: going back to read the stories
