I bought a mystery box from the dark web

I am a small YouTuber who makes scary and creepy videos, because I always liked the chills and the idea of the paranormal. So when the whole trend with unboxing mystery boxes from the dark web became popular I jumped right in. The only problem was that I had to buy it in Bitcoin, which I never used.

After trying for a while to exchange my real money to bitcoin, I was finally able to do it. So I placed the order and waited patiently for the package. A few days passed by and it finally came. I was so excited and nervous at the same time, to see what the mystery box would contain.

I set up all my camera gear and microphones, I cleaned the table and put on some gloves. I started recording the unboxing and you could see the excitement on my face. I cut open the box with a pair of scissors and the first thing I saw at the very top was a note, with my name and my address on it. That freaked me out a little but I could think of an logical explanation.

Under the not the was a big box and a few envelopes. I thought that the box would be more interesting so I started with the envelopes to leave the best for last. I opened the first one and it had a few pictures of different places all over the world. All of them though had one thing in common. I have went for holidays to all those places. It can't be, it must be a coincidence I thought. Thats when I looked more clearly at the pictures. In the background I could see myself, with my family. All of them included all 4 of us on the photo.

Could it really be ? Did my family had a stalker ? I didn't believe it. I didn't want to continue the unboxing, but curiosity got the better of me. So I opened the next envelope and it also had pictures, this time of my house. You could see the whole house from every point of view. And some of the photos were even taken near the windows and I could see the interior of our house. I was so creeped out...

I didn't want to open the last one, but for some stupid reason I decided that I would probably have a really good reaction for my YouTube video, so I opened it. Right away I regretted my decision. This time the pictures, where from the inside of my house... you could see my sister opening the fridge, my dad watching tv, my mom cleaning the dishes and many others. What freaked me the most was when I saw a selfie of a masked man next to my bed while I was sleeping.

This whole situation gave me a severe headache. I wasn't thinking clearly. There were so many questions on my mind. The last thing in the package was the small box that I hadn't opened yet. I got so far, I couldn't just leave it there like that. So I took one deep breath and cut it open. I almost fainted when I saw what it had inside. There was bones, not human bones but dogs bones. I could tell from the collar that it was my dog Charlie, who died 3 years ago and we had buried him in our backyard. I couldn't handle it anymore, I went to the bathroom and puked. I took a few minutes in there, lying on the floor to comprehend everything that happened. Without second thoughts I grabbed everything and ripped it and then I burned everything.

I didn't want to have any memories from anything that happened that evening. I would try as hard as I can to forget everything. I wanted to act like all of this didn't ever happen. But It was impossible. I never told my family about it and never will. I of course deleted all the footage and never uploaded the video. I even took a 1 year break from my YouTube channel. After that I started forgetting the event and my life started becoming normal again. Thats when my phone rang. It was an unknown number. I answered. "Hello Nick, did you like the mystery box from one year ago? said a person with a very very deep voice. I was speechless and turned off my phone immediately. I still try to recover from that and writing this story really helped me.

And I beg you, please do not ever buy mystery boxes from the dark web.
