"Town of The Skinman" Creepypasta

[Music] when I look back on what I saw there in that small town all I feel is numb what else can you feel in the face of such horror the case I'm about to present before you is disturbing it's not a pleasant story and certainly not for those of weak hearts and stomach but it's a story that needs to be told it all began in the woods surrounding a small town about a month ago it was in these woods the first victim was found a man by the name of Tom Grady his body was found naked his face skinned off the gliese is Maine suspicions were on a crazy drug-fueled murder of some sort or maybe a regular truck you're naked run through the woods that ended in a meeting with a bear extraordinary but simple when you look at it that was until they checked his stomach contents the coroner a solid man by any standard had to get out of the rooms of vomit into a trash can they found his face in his stomach the main theory shifted again the man was drugged on some crazy stuff and did what he did on drugs that one lasted as long as a month before the forensic report came back the man was clean as a teddy bear just crazy then it couldn't be anything else then it happened again two bodies together in the woods a man and a woman naked the face is skinned at least this time the coroner didn't vomit when he pulled out their half-digested faces from the digestive tracts nor were there any theories for the negative test results the - only blind confusion it happened again a kid 15 naked in the woods and again even younger 13 and it kept on happening every couple of days a new victim in the woods a figure started forming when the local newspaper printed the first sighting of the skinned man an old photo black and white with just one small caution take him in the woods he was poorly lit showing a figure among the trees a first glance naked his head was blank then as your eyes adjusted you could see it clearer from the neck down his whole body skin was face after face stitched together to form a humanoid clothing from this and legend started to grow the skin man was a demonic spirit that lived in the woods that lured people into the woods and made them mutilate themselves the whole thing was a horrific nasty and none of my business I wouldn't have bothered with these urban legends and skinning zhh at all at least until I got a phone call from an old college friend John the skin man had taken his eight-year-old son I was on the extremely shady side of the PI business none of my friends ever wanted me to work for them even if I offered so I knew he was calling me out of sheer desperation I arrived at the town the day after his household had held up incredibly well after the death his wife sought comfort from support group on social media Tom Grady had been an active member of the group so the whole community was mourning together John had a friend in the police force the coroner who performed the autopsy he was how I got the vomit story great guy together I and the coroner made a promise that John I would do anything and everything in my power to find out what was going on legal or not the coroner would try as much as he could to point his colleagues in the direction I'd give them we saw an oath in his son's bedroom it took me three months to scrounge everything I needed at the end of it I called John and his police friend over I was surprised to see the coroner arrived first while John was the one who was late by a whole hour sorry I'm late I was with my wife trying to find a phone she lost it sometime I waited by we'll talk later I solved it I motioned them to follow me and led them to my living room where I'd set up my projector I want you to know one thing none of this is legally enforceable in a court the only thing you'll get out of watching this is you'll know what exactly is happening in this town I saw no rejection in their eyes only grim acceptance I turned on the projector on the screen showed a young girl in a bedroom lying on a bed the lights are off and the only illumination came from a window peering outside John twitched that's my neighbor's daughter yes I stole the tape from her parents he had a disgusted look and moved as if to block the projector but I pointed to the screen look at the window the light from her window came from another window it was from a lamp shining upon the bedroom John stepped back as recognition clicked in his head it was his son's bedroom the very night he disappeared he was right there lying in his bed through the girls window he could see everything for a few moments we sat together in silence watching the child as the moment of reckoning drew nearer then we heard a loud screeching noise it was hard to make out what it was due to the heavy distortion for a few seconds nothing happened then the bedroom door lock turned and opened revealing a silhouette of a humanoid figure standing in the hallway it marched forwards towards his son's bed hands reaching for him across the lime lights and I heard a gasp from behind me as the face of John's wife emerged from the darkness as we watched she grabbed her son's shoulders and shocked him awake she whispered something into his ear and took him in her arms as she carried him down the stairs the screeching noise started again still distorted but now clear enough to be identified as the sound of a car revving up I pause the tape John was frozen just staring blankly at the screen god frozen was just how I needed him otherwise he might have punched me for what I did next I took out a phone John's wife's phone I told you I was shady as I punched in a password and accessed her group on social media I pulled up a messages connected to the projector and cast it onto the screen and then the real story started the story of a cancer that had been growing in this closed town the cancer that hid under the skin of a support group the chat showed the slow degradation of the group into a cult no not a cult the cult takes passion what these people had was intense apathy to human life originally the purpose of the Parent Support Group had been to be just that a place for parents to vent and be comforted over the course of several months the support had been becoming more and more derailed more post started showing up about how ungrateful their kids were how much are their lives the parents had to give up to raise them how they were forming gangs they couldn't have raised such delinquents could they slowly a grown belief was starting to spread among the members but their children were cursed born evil it was here that the skin man was really born it was Sean Theron who took up the old tale the skin man was an ominous figure from an old wives tale a dark influencer who wanted discord and whispered dark things the children corrupts them until their soul ran black and then led them to skin their parents alive maybe he was supposed to be a joke at first ooh the skin man he was the real reason the town's kids were so rotten who the skin man what are the sensible reasons was there none it was the only reasonable explanation people started talking about how they sometimes thought that children would spend too much time talking to themselves in their room how they thought they might have heard someone talking back how the children seemed awfully fond of the woods and then one day it stopped being a joke anymore a tale from the city came of a boy who killed his own father the group was a flame how could they stand by and watch this dark figure destroy their world how could no one else do anything when the evidence was so strong when it was all so obvious the skinned man was doing it they had to do something and it had to be outside the system because the skin man might have gotten to everyone else Tom Grady an ardent supporter of the original purpose of the group was going to shut the whole thing down he offered a desperate plea to the mob asking them to come to their senses that didn't go down well with them after all if you couldn't see that the skin man had to be stopped you were either getting in the way or worse actively supporting him once again it was Shawn theorem who started it he privately messaged to everyone in the group begging them to take action against this dark figure that was ruining their lives Tom was practically a follower of the skin man by opposing the group it was kill or be killed so they grabbed him he was their first victim their experiment to finalize their method but the stomach once he dismissed the impossible only the possible no matter how horrific it may be remains tom was force-fed his own skin the group was ecstatic celebration all round true justice justice the system wouldn't understand victory against the skin man John's wife sent more than a few flirty messages to the hero Shawn from there the horrific crusade continued parents were given the duty of purifying their children and so they did their children weren't really their children demons sent by that cursed figure demons that had eaten their real children I would soon come to torture them it was self-defense against the greater evil vengeance against the skin man and that was that John had dropped to the floor now kneeling his eyes still staring away and nothing we helped him to his feet and accompanied him to his home where we left him sitting in silence in his living room from that day on the very structure of the investigation changed instead of searching for a single killer the focus turned on the parents and the results came rushing dawson's arrested in the first week John's wife was one of the first and should have been the biggest story of our time but it isn't the story hasn't spread it all shaunti erin was the editor of the newspaper there was absolutely nothing found against him not even on the Grady case I don't know how a guy like that was so clean but he's still free now free to run his pen all over the Morning News all the people of this lonely little town knows now that the skeptics and the pigheaded police we're now arresting ordinary people for the crimes of a dreaded skinned man his thought hasn't disappeared yet despite my very presence they're putting me at risk I managed to get a message through to his wife recently the newspapers have turned against her openly calling her a whore and a liar I hope to god she gets custody the heavy fear hangs on me that I won't be able to enter the town again John's been at the police station protesting day and night of his wife's innocence he's talking about possession and shape-shifting he still believes in the skin man recently not one hour ago I got a text from my police friend it was about John's wife she's now saying the skinMan made her do it
