What is a Chain letter? A chain letter is a message that endeavors to persuade the copies to make various duplicates of the letter and afterward pass them on to a specific number of recipients. Normal techniques utilized in chain letters incorporate candidly manipulative stories, make easy money fraudulent business models, and the abuse of superstition to undermine the beneficiary with misfortune or even physical brutality or passing on the off chance that the individual in question “breaks the chain” and will not cling to the conditions set out in the letter.
Chain letters didn’t start with the Internet, and they didn’t kick the bucket with E-mail. In any case, back in the beginning of the Internet, before anyone but developers recognized what pixels were, and ” search engine optimization” simply wasn’t a thing, chain messages saw their brilliant age.
Back in the 2000s, chain letters were a huge thing among youngsters. The fear of facing the repercussions from not passing on a message to someone else forced them to spread the messages to a huge mass of people. This was the reason for it to be popular among people during the initial years of social networking.
Let’s check out some of the creepiest chain letters that became extremely popular because of the fear that they sowed in the minds of the senders.
10. Bloody Mary Mail
You are now cursed! You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don’t think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now, because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeball out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What is your family going to do when they find you dead? Won’t be funny then, will it? Don’t think this is a fake and it’s all put to scare you because you are wrong, so very wrong. Remember, Bloody Mary can do anything!
9. Cassie’s Story
Cassie and her friend were at home with her (Cassie’s) older sister. Her older sister was planning to go out, and told them to not answer the door for anyone and to keep everything locked.
After her sister left, Cassie and her friend went online, looking at scary chain letters and laughing at how they weren’t ever true. They didn’t believe in any of the chains and went to bed. Unfortunately, they forgot to lock the doors.
Cassie’s friend had been murdered in the middle of the night. Quickly and frightened, Cassie went and reposted every chain letter they had read. After waking up in the morning, she saw something that looked like a face that was very red, staring back at her in the mirror. But she did not see her face. She ran down the stairs and looked in a different mirror. Still seeing the same face, she touched hers. She then looked at her hands and they were covered in something red and watery. Her skin was burned and bloody.
News around her town had told about the murder of Cassie’s friend. Cassie’s sister arrived home later that night, not yet seeing the news. Cassie told her sister what had happened, but her sister was in denial. Her sister reported that Cassie had gone insane and put her into a mental hospital.
Years passed, and Cassie had died of a rare disease. Cassie came back for revenge towards her sister and the murderer.
The murderer was never found. Nearly hours after Cassie’s revenge, her sister was found dead. The man who found Cassie’s sister bloody with stab wounds on the floor, spotted a faint, red shadow. This was Cassie’s shadow. The man heard a whisper and he could make out small words saying, “You didn’t see anything.”
If you don’t repost this chain letter to at least 6 people in the next 10 minutes, Cassie will haunt you too.
So, if you don’t want Cassie to haunt and murder you, then repost this as soon as possible.
8. The Blue Light
If you’re reading this, then you’ve already started the chain reaction and there’s no going back. The events I am about to warn you about will definitely unfold, even if you delete or exit this. The best thing you can do now is read on and carefully follow my instructions. The reason this is happening to you is unfair, but it’s beyond anyone’s control. This all started because of Jessica Brown. Jessica Brown lived in a southern Louisiana on the shores of Lake Catherine. She lived with her mother and father and next door to her uncle. The house she lived in had a small cellar with various odd items- tools, cans of tomato paste, old furniture. It was ordinary in every way, except that once a year, every year, on the very same day as the year before, a blinding blue light would flash from the cellar. The family had never been able to figure out what caused the light and had grown accustomed to it, until one year the flash damaged little Jessica’s vision.
Her parents called an electrician, who showed up and looked at the wiring in the cellar. He said that everything looked fine, as it always did. He told Jessica’s parents that he’s been checking that same cellar since the last 40 years, as long as he’d been an electrician. Every family that lives there would call him about the blue light. He finally admitted that the head electrician before him went to that house 40 years ago and had died from a surge of electricity that charged through him and flooded the house with a flash of blue light. Every year, on that same date, the bright blue light flashed, but it had never harmed anyone before.
The family tried to move on with their lives and tell themselves the electrician was just a booze hound making up stories since he didn’t know what was wrong with the wiring in the cellar. One day, Jessica’s mother was cooking and asked little Jessica to grab a few cans from the cellar. Jessica obliged. Her mother heard the little pitter patter of Jessica’s footsteps going down the cellar and then, strangely, the cellar door slammed shut. It was odd, but Jessica’s mother jumped and dropped her knife at the sound of her daughter’s bloodcurdling scream. She yelled for her husband, and they pulled and pulled on the door until it flew open. Across the room, just beneath a little window with moonlight shining on her, stood little Jessica. Her mother called out to her, and Jessica slowly walked toward the door. Her parents looked at her bewildered, searching her little face for an explanation. All the blood had drained from her face, and her knuckles were scraped and splintered. “I saw a man, and he stood this high off the ground,” Jessica said, gesturing a flat palm about two feet off the ground. “It was like he was there, but he wasn’t there.”
Her parents stared nervously at the cellar door.
7. Teddy
Once you read this chain letter, you cannot get out. Finish reading this until it is done!
Hi, I am Teddy. I am 7 years old. I have no eyes and blood all over my face. I am dead. If you don’t send this to at least
12 people, I will come to your house at midnight and I’ll hide under your bed. When you’re asleep, I’ll kill you.
Don’t believe me?
Case 1: Patty Buckles got this chain e-mail. She didn’t believe in chain letters. Well, foolish patty. She was sleeping when her TV started flickering on and off. Now she’s not with us anymore. Ha ha Patty, Ha ha! You don’t want to be like Patty, do you?
Case 2: George M. Simon hated chain e-mails, but he didn’t want to die that night. He sent it to 4 people. Not good enough, George. Now George is in coma. We don’t know if he’ll ever wake up. Ha ha George, Ha ha! Now, do you want to be like George?
Case 3: Valerie Tyler got this chain e-mail. Just another chain letter, or so she thought. Only had 7 people to send to. Well, that night when she was having a shower, she saw a bloody figure in the mirror. She got the biggest fright of her life. Valerie is scarred for life.
Case 4: Derek Minse was a smart person. He sent it to 12 people. Later that day, he found a $100 bill on the ground. He was promoted to head manager at his job and his girlfriend agreed to marry him. Now, he and his wife are living happily ever after. They have two beautiful children.
Send this to at least 12 people or you’ll face the consequences.
0 people- You will die tonight!
1-6 people- You will be injured!
7-11 people- You will get the biggest fright of your life!
12 and over- You are safe and will have a good fortune!
Do what Teddy says!!!! Hurry, you must send this to 12 people before midnight.
“He looked at me, and he hated me,” she said in a tone far too serious for her six years of age.
Her parents were shaken but told Jessica that it was dark and her eyes were playing tricks on her. They bolted the door shut, hung a curtain over it, and placed a large bookshelf in front of it. But, every night after that, her parents would wake up to the deafeningly loud sound of crashing wood and find little Jessica in the corner of the cellar, unaware of how she came to be there. Finally fed up, Jessica’s father bricked up a wall over the cellar. Months later, on the day when the family would normally see the flash of intense blue light, neighbors heard the terrible screams of the entire family. The police arrived to find brick and mortar outside the house, apparently having flown out of the window. They clambered over the rubble, through the house and into the cellar. They say, the police, who responded, left the police force the day after the discovery. Inside the cellar, the bodies of Jessica’s parents were found stretched and mangled, twisted like wires with the home’s electrical wiring in the drywall. Jessica was nowhere to be found and has never been sighted ever since.
It is said that the damned soul of the tormented electrician escaped that night to torment the living world.
If you do not pass this letter along to 5 other people in the next 24 hours, your home will be plagued and you will have to be untangled from the writing.
6. Jankura’s Revenge
In a village in India, lived a beautiful and highly educated girl named Jankura. She always wanted to become a photojournalist and therefore had to go to the city for the purpose.
When she came to the city, she realised that she had very little money and therefore had to live in a chawl (A building meant for poor people).
The people of the chawl were superstitious and hence, were not very nice with Jankura. Due to her immense beauty and funny name, everyone thought that Jankura was a witch. Whenever Jankura would start walking in front of the chawl, people would run to their homes and shut their doors tightly. Whenever she would try to talk to someone, the person would close his/her eyes and chant some mantra (A chant which includes the name of some god).
Once, on the festive occasion of Diwali (A festival of lights celebrated by Indian people. Firecrackers are bursted on this day and traditional lamps known as diyas are lit), people formed groups to burst firecrackers. No one was bothered by Jankura, who was sitting at the door of her house, making rangoli (A design made out of powdered colours in front of one’s door during Diwali and other such festivals).
Meanwhile, a small boy- about the age of 12- decided to leave his group and try out his own experiment with the crackers. He took out a bunch of crackers and attached them to a rope. After he did that, he looked at Jankura, who looked back at him. The boy smiled at her. Jankura felt that someone had smiled to her in ages. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she managed to give him a smile. After that, the boy looked back in his work.
Suddenly, Jankura realised what the boy was up to. She tried to stop him, but it was too late. The fire had reached the crackers and they exploded all at once with a big boom. And then, the boy who looked once energetic and happy, now, was cold and dead.
The entire public who was celebrating Diwali, now came to look at the boy’s body. His body was all burning and bloody. It really was a horrible sight.
All the people looking at Jankura with burning anger in their eyes. They began to pace toward her. Poor Jankura could do nothing but watch the people coming toward her in horror
Once the people came toward her and stood towering her, they began to say that as she was a witch, she was responsible for the boy’s death. And that was why, she had no right to live.
Then, out of the entire crowd, the boy’s mother came ahead. She looked grief stricken and angry at the same time. She looked around frantically and picked up a huge bottle of Kerosene, opened it and threw it on Jankura. Then, she dragged her in front of the chawl.
Jankura begged the woman to leave her. But the woman wouldn’t listen to her. She had already made up her mind that Jankura was the guilty one. So, she didn’t hesitate and and removed a matchbox, pulled out a matchstick from it and lit it. Then she threw it on Jankura.
Jankura began to burn. She knew that she was about to become dead. So, before she died, she said the following words:
“All of you were always rude to me, though I never did anything. I always tried to be kind and win your hearts. I thought I was close to doing the needful when that boy for whom you are accusing me for murder smiled at me. But what are you all doing now? Burning me, that’s what! But I won’t stay silent anymore. Every night, when the clock strikes twelve, my tormented soul will come and kill one of you. I won’t stay silent until I get my revenge!”
Saying those words, Jankura died.
Every night after that dreadful incident, after the clock struck twelve, weird and scary noises rang through the entire chawl. And as Jankura had promised, one of the people living in the chawl died each night. Slowly, the chawl that was once quite and peaceful, had now turned into a cemetery filled with mourns and wails.
After a few days, a few people- afraid that they would die- decided to move somewhere else. They moved to some place outside the city.
It was Jankura (her tormented soul) who was troubling and killing the people. She got furious when she found out that a few people had shifted somewhere else. She tried searching for them, but in vain. So now she wants to kill someone desperately. And guess what? She has found the right person to kill…. You!
But don’t worry. You can stop her from murdering you. All you have to do is to send this to at least 8 people. Or else tonight, Jankura will crawl through your window and kill you in the worst and way as possible.
So hurry! Or else…. face your doom. the wiring.
5. Home horror
Now that you have begun reading this, you cannot stop. You have to read this till the end and then do what you’ve been told to do. Or else, the worst possible thing will happen to you in a week’s time.A family that consisted of a girl, her brother, her mother and her father, decided to leave their lonely life living in a small bungalow outside the town and moved to an apartment within the town.Once they moved in, they observed that the apartment was deserted. They felt that as this building was all old, no one wanted to live in here. They were disappointed at first, but then a ray of happiness surged through them. They began to reason that they were at least living in the town, where life was social. Unlike the outskirts, the town had people constantly chattering away and there wasn’t a creepy silence that they would’ve experienced in the outskirts. Plus, almost everything was at a walkable distance from where they were living right now. The mall, the school, the pizza place…. everything.They were now happy with their decision to settle in the town. They chose their specific rooms in the apartment and started to keep their things inside and go to sleep.That night, when the girl was sleeping, she heard a strange sound. “Come…. come to me…”. The girl awoke to this sound. Although she was a bit creeped out, she couldn’t help but be drawn to this noise. So she got up and followed the sound.Suddenly, the rest of the family woke up to the sound of screaming. As they ran out of their rooms to find who it was, they came across the body of the girl.Her head was separated from her body. Her white nightgown had now turned somewhat red with all her blood. Her mother fainted to see that her daughter was dead.After the incidence, everyone in the family was in a complete shock. They wondered that who could’ve killed their joyful girl. Just as they were about to give up on thinking, the girl’s brother heard a voice in his ears. “Come…. come to me….”The boy wondered that who could be making this noise and followed the sound. When he got to the place where the sound was coming, he saw the most horrible sight anyone could imagine.It was a woman. Her eyes were blood red and she had disgusting cuts all over her face. Her skin was rotten and a bit blue. Her red hair was so long, it went flowing down till the floor. In her hand was a bloody dagger. She smiled an evil smile at the boy and said, “Come…. come to me….” Then she began to laugh a hideous laugh as she began to step towards the boy.When the parents heard the sound of their son screaming, they rushed towards the sound, only to see that their son was murdered in the same way as their daughter. The parents, not able to take in the loss of both their children, died at the very moment of a heart attack.Now, if you do not pass this on, you will hear the sound, “Come…. come to me….” and you will die in the same way as the two siblings died in this story.+Hurry up! You don’t have all day. You have only two hours. So hurry up!
4. A Special Party
This incident happened two years ago.
I and Jess got a special invitation to a truly amazing and charming party. I could make that out from the invitation card.
We got there on time, just as we were expected to. The venue was San Excorte‛ hotel. I smiled. This was the hotel I and Jess were waiting to see.
A well dressed man escorted us inside. We were given a drink that we took happily.
Afterward, I felt something come over me. My senses seemed to dissolve in a pool of confusion. That was when I realised I was feeling extremely nauseous. The same thing was happening to Jess.
Everyone around us looked delighted. They came towards me and chanted, “You must die! You must die!” I found it intolerable and so my heartbeats started growing fast. My breathing slowed down and I began to die.
This incident happened a year ago and I still remember every moment of it. But you know what?…. I’m dead!!
So now, if you don’t want me to come to your house tonight at 12 and chant the words the people chanted while killing me and then kill you, then you must pass this on at least to 28 people- exact. If you don’t…. face the consequences….
3. Sisters Forever
Carla and Maria were very close twin sisters. Nothing could separate their sisterhood. They had been orphaned at birth. They both spent their entire lives at a foster home and never left each other alone, even for a second. Everything was going fine in their lives until the disaster.
It happened that the sisters were walking together on a very nice evening when suddenly, a strong wind blew by. They suddenly realised that the wind was growing stronger. But before they could do anything, the wind blew each other apart.
Carla was blown in a pair of bushes that were very thick and Maria, in the edge of the cliff she and Carla was walking on. Maria was clinging on to a small branch that was sticking out from the cliff. She tried to call Carla. But hearing nothing at all, she decided that Carla was dead and started to weep. She said, “Oh, Carla! My sweet Carla! Why did this happen to you? Why did you die? But don’t worry. I’m always there for you. So I’m joining you in heaven!”
Saying this, Maria left her hand and allowed herself to fall down the cliff and die.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Carla was hearing her sister’s cries for her name. She wanted to answer. And she did, but her cries were too low to reach Maria’s ears. When she stopped hearing her sister, she decided that either Maria was either dead or had suicided thinking that Carla was dead. Carla started to sob and so, to join her sister, she took a sharp piece of stone and cut her wrist. But before dying, she cried, “Destiny is very cruel. It stole my sister from me. I will never forgive anyone who has a good destiny. I will kill them. Whoever reads my story shall die! The person will die!”
And then she died.
Ever since then whoever has read this story has fallen prey to death. A very cruel one at that. But those who were intelligent and did the right thing by sending it to four people. They escaped death and are now living happily ever after.
2. A New Year Surprise
This incident took place on 1st January 1997:
New year is the time when everyone has the right to enjoy. But this thing was not true for the Coopers. They were so poor, that they couldn’t even afford a proper home. They had to sleep on the roads at night, pursue begging in the daylight as an occupation, and have whatever leftovers they could find inside the garbage bins as food. Life was very cruel to them indeed.
There was once a time when they were rich, very rich. They had a huge business, earning millions and millions of dollars. They had a wonderful house, car and could afford anything they wanted.
But then came the sad day when Rolland Cooper died of Leukemia. After his death, his son Jansen Cooper took over the leadership of handling the business. The business went down to docks under his leadership. And so much, that they came on the roads with no money left with them.
But New year was something that the Coopers looked forward to. It was the day when different organizations helped different beggars. Every time, they hoped that an organization would help them as well.
On new year’s day, many charities came to help the beggars and roadside dwellers. But the Coopers were overjoyed when a charity truck parked right next to where they were sitting.
Out came a man, dressed in a black tuxedo and black pants. He looked so rich, so wealthy, that the Coopers felt a little envious. The man held out his hand and helped each of them to their feet. He told them that they would be getting the best treatment a beggar could only think of, but that was only if they go with him.
The Coopers, so greedy at his offer, didn’t even think twice before entering his truck. The man got to the front and commanded the driver to drive, while the Coopers sat at the back, singing the glories of this kind man.
After some hours of driving, they finally got to a building, that seemed as if it was abandoned for a long time. There, the so-called ‘Kind’ man got off his seat and pulled the Coopers harshly out of the truck. Some people came out of the building and helped the man to drag the Coopers inside it.
The Coopers were shocked when the man injected an injection into Jansen Cooper’s left arm. He cried out loudly and fainted. Then the man removed a huge knife from his pocket and started piercing Jansen’s liver area.
But before the Coopers could do anything, the man and his people injected an injection in the Coopers’ arms.
After this incident, a few months later, the man was put in jail from where he broke loose. And he still is on the loose.
They say that even now the man removes the livers of innocent people and sells them. Those people who were foolish enough to keep this chain letter to themselves, lose their liver and life. So if do not pass this on, the man will track you and remove your liver as well.
Hurry! You don’t have all day! You have only 10 minutes.
1. Letter to the Best Friend
Dear Best friend,
This early morning at about 6:00 or something, I got a mail from someone that was addressing you. I don’t know how this happened but I suppose that the person who tried to send you the mail was dreaming about something or the other, while writing the e-mail ID.
Anyways, as I’m your ultimate well-wisher and an honest friend, I decided to send this to it’s rightful owner:
‘We were killed brutally.
Yes, we were. It was a massacre that took place on some date. A date which we can’t remember. And we are thankful for the same.
Anyways, we won’t give any details of our death, but finish this thing as quickly as possible.
This is a chain letter, as you know. So we want you to send this on to 54 people in the next 54 minutes. The task is not simple, we know. But if you accomplish in this task, your life will improve and you’ll have only good luck in it. +
You can send this in any form. Be it typed or written….’
P.S: I’m not at all responsible for anything that happens next if you fail in this thingy. And if you do…. just remember that I didn’t see, nor hear, nor speak and most importantly, didn’t witness anything.
Love,
Your Best Friend
And this bring us to the end of our list. I hope you enjoyed reading these letters. Chain letters are hoax, we all know that but what if the words written in them come true. Send it to other people as soon as you can. Stop wasting time and start forwarding. You are welcome…
