V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Want to hear some creepy (and supposedly true) stories? Give a listen to Youtuber Rob Dyke's Seriously Strange --> Playlist starts here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I know that Temmu was wanting true stories, but here's my Halloween traditional story. It's not a true story, though. It's not even based on a true story. It's fiction, just like the little gray guys out there at Area 51. Pieces of Nine by V. T. Eric Layton Have funzies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Was hoping you would post yours too, Eric! I have those and they are a lot of fun! Thank you for sharing them! Is there a place to actually download Chipper's version of H.P. Lovecraft's The Outsider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I am also interested in downloading Chip's version of The Outsider Ah yeah, I remember Pieces of Nine.. very well written Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I posted the raw link for Chip's "The Outsider," but the board converts it to that weird little player thingie... Let's try it this way... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15753011/chip_outsider.mp3 There we go, I think. Once the page with the embedded player (in Chrome) loads, you should be able to RIGHT CLICK - SAVE LINK AS in order to d-load it to your system. Edited October 16, 2014 by V.T.
