美國都市傳說 讓人毛骨悚然的微笑男人

不少由網友分享出來的都市傳說，比很多鬼故事的驚嚇程度有過之而無不及。之前在外國網絡論壇reddit上，有位網友「blue_tidal」分享了一個令不少人都陷入恐慌的都市傳說，其後更拍成了短片和電影。究竟這是個甚麼故事？ 

「blue_tidal」分享一個聲稱自己的經歷，更是有關一個奇怪的「微笑男人」：

由於「blue_tidal」本身習慣了凌晨3、4點才睡得著，因此不時自己在半夜時份在街道上獨自漫步，不過有一晚被一個奇怪的男人打斷這個習慣。

(圖:YouTube)

在當晚凌晨1、2點左右，當時他在離開家不遠只有幾條街的公園內散步，當要打算回家時，發現了一個陌生男子從街尾向事主迎面走來，而且走路時的動作非常奇怪，有點像癲癇症病發不受控制的抽蓄。不過當時事主也只以為他是位醉酒漢，所以並沒有多加理會自己繼續往前走。當他們的距離愈來愈近的時候，事主察覺他身形修長，而用各種畸形古怪的動作在移動著，就算頭部也是以一個奇怪的角度看東西，當他們對視時，突破奇怪男子古怪的臉上出現了一抹詭異的微笑。

(圖:YouTube)

事主當時立即走開，並與他保持一定的距離，而那位男子的行為和動作愈來愈詭異，笑容愈來愈大並開始陷入瘋狂。事主內心不禁湧上陣陣恐懼感，但怕突然拔足跑會激怒他，於是只是邊看著他邊加快走，直至拋離與那男子半條街的距離。事主走到一半的時候，就已經看不見那名男子的蹤影，正當快回到自己家的那一條街時，距離事主不到10米的樹蔭下，看到那位男子站在並著詭異的姿勢面向著事主，而事主忍不住想問對方想做甚麼時，陌生男子沒有回答就開始轉身慢慢離開。不過當他走了半條街左右，突然停了下來，轉身看向事主，接著全速地向事主衝過來！

(圖:YouTube)

事主被嚇得一樣一邊尖叫一邊跑，大概跑了一條街之後，陌生男子經消失得無影無蹤了，自此他亦沒有再出現過。而事主過了那麼多年，也不敢在夜間獨自外出了。

故事出現後引起瘋狂討論，更有不少人分享自己曾有類似的經歷，而故事更被不少人改編拍成了短片及電影，雖然不知道真實性，但似乎卻已經令不少人陷入深深的恐懼之中。

The Smiling Man

Some of you may have heard of The Smiling Man. Some of you may have even encountered him yourself. Who is he though, and what does he want? That much, we may never know.

The Smiling Man was first brought to public light in 2012 by reddit user blue_tidal. The story went like this…

Our first dance is with none other than "The Smiling Man" by Reddit user blue_tidal. Come along, let's walk through this story and see what we think of it.

The Smiling Man - blue_tidal Story - http://goo.gl/tKfOnr Read by MrCreepyPasta - http://goo.gl/FsWPtb Short Film - http://goo.gl/ybmMpo    This is a nice little pasta (I say as i am actually eating pasta), relying perfectly on the the eeriest things that might go on in the street late at night.    I really like how nothing is really revealed about the smiling man, that while it is eluded to that he might be utterly insane, for all we know he could just be some drunk who decided to scare the fuck out of our narrator. That there is nothing paranormal or haunting going on, this is something that could happen to any of us, and that can be the scariest thing of all.

The Smiling Man – A True Story by Blue_Tidal

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good scary story. And even more than that, I love it when a scary story is equal parts scary as it is creepy. And what  I love even more than that, is when said scary and creepy story is real.

The following story I read one night on Reddit, and it was creepy. I knew it was good because as I read it, goosebumps crawled up my arms. Then, later that night, after I…
