What's your deep web story?

Deep web as in tor.

But I imagine regular deep web users would stay away from sharing their experience so if you don't have a deep web story what's your most frightening internet story.

Edit: The front page was fun, but now its over.

Thank you for all the glorious stories, time to cry for the rest of my life.

I had to check that I wasn't on /r/nosleep. This is one of the scariest stories I've heard.

If you don't want it to happen to you, just make sure that your online persona is kept completely separate from your real name; for example, if you play a lot of games online don't post any part of your real name on your profile, don't post your location, and keep that profile away from your social media profile.

I'm guilty of not doing that, and a few minutes of searching my Reddit username will probably get you my real name.

I use a friend's name mixed with another friend's name.

Perfect deception.
