History ParanoiaFuel / WebOriginal

** The old [[http://scpclassic.wikidot.com/scp-532 SCP-532]] was a stream of sentient, telepathic, [[SerialKiller serial killing]] raw sewage that the ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' couldn't contain at all. Once you've been selected as its next target, it follows you everywhere, injecting itself into every plumbing system you'll ever use. It will poison you to death and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it, because it telepathically disguises itself as ordinary water. You could be drinking it, bathing in it, brushing your teeth with it, washing your dishes and clothes in it, eating food at a restaurant whose staff have washed their hands in it, etc., and you'd never know. No matter how sick you get, your doctor will never be able to figure out the cause.

* Much of the scare factor in many ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' entries runs on Paranoia Fuel, and there are more than a handful of [=SCPs=] that will kill you in the most horrifying ways if you ever do so much as, say, look at them or simply ''be aware of their existence''. Here are some particular examples:

* Pinkie Pie is coming. She wants to make you some FanFic/{{cupcakes}}. And TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou.

* [[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1670248/ This]] will make you paranoid of plushies. Especially big ones, although the small ones are still paranoia-worthy.
* You know how many of your phobias are caused by traumatic experiences from childhood? [[http://www.deviantart.com/?order=24&offset=0&offset=48#/d2z6x26 Then how would you explain the ones that seem to come from nowhere?]]

* Without getting ''too'' {{NSFW}}, Transformation fics can be creepily paranoia inducing; a person could be metamorphosed, sometimes ''permanently'' into anything, either as a punishment for the ''[[DisproportionateRetribution slightest]]'' offense or just out of absolutely nowhere. And in some cases, they either [[AndIMustScream lose the ability to speak]] or [[EmptyShell lose their humanity altogether]]. And this is often [[EsotericHappyEnding viewed as a GOOD thing]].

* ''[[Blog/LISDEAD LIS_DEAD]]'' thrives on this. [[spoiler: He is after you. Agents are everywhere. You may even have been the parent of one of them, and will never know.]]

* The DarthWiki [[{{DarthWiki/IntercourseWithYou}} Intercourse With You]] page. Any of your favorite songs could really be about sex without you knowing!

* An urban legend surrounding the Japanese poem "Tomino's Hell" plays on this. You're told, whatever you do, to [[SchmuckBait never read it aloud]] for risk of cursing yourself or bringing great misfortune to your life. Regardless of whether the curse is real, the notion is effective- any coincidental misfortune that occurs to someone after speaking it will then seem like the poem's fault, and many posts of people claiming they've read it to no ill effect are never followed up with further updates that would show that they continued to be unharmed.

* TheLazerCollection. Doctor Octagonapus can be anywhere, even [[ChestBurster inside you!]] And lazers can fire out of ANYTHING--people's mouths, car trunks, showerheads...

** Staff members in charge of [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-231 SCP-231]] are allowed to take an [[LaserGuidedAmnesia amnestic]] when leaving the project, due to the extremely distressful nature of containing SCP-231-7, and then have false memories implanted. As the O5 council member writing the quip on the amnestic option says, there are those in the Foundation and have been assigned to those horrific SCP-231 duties in the past, but ''they don't remember it.''

* Speaking of [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Mr. Tall, Dark and Faceless]], how about TribeTwelve? The entire premise of the series is a young man being slowly stripped of his security and sanity, bit by bit.

** This is the entire ''point'' of TheSlenderManMythos.

--> "It has been reported that some victims of violence, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP."

* [[MarbleHornets Marble Hornets]]. Try watching Entry #14 ([[spoiler:Slendy comes into Alex's bedroom while he's asleep]]) and #19 ([[spoiler:The masked man does the same thing to Jay, who then disappears for three hours with no memory of what happened]]) and see if you can sleep easily after that. For that matter, the slightest glimpse of [[HumanoidAbomination Slendy]] should be enough to freak you out, especially when you realise that [[spoiler: he's in every video and you can't always see him... which means he could be anywhere. He could be ''watching you right now.'']]

* Believe it or not, even {{Lolcats}} can make you paranoid, especially with phrases like "Ceiling Cat is watching you masturbate" and "I see what you did there."
