Ted the Caver
One of the earliest examples of the form, and possibly the first that really worked. In 2001 a diary appeared on the free host Angelfire: a man and a friend clearing a narrow side passage in a cave. The entries are matter-of-fact, with photographs and measurements, page after page; the tone shifts slowly over several weeks, and the disaster arrives well after the reader has stopped expecting one. It works because until the very end it does not look like a story — it looks like somebody's abandoned website.
Herobrine
A character that was never in the game. In 2010 an anonymous user posted a Minecraft screenshot of a player figure with no pupils standing in fog, and a story that it was the creator's brother. The rumour outlived every denial: for years players sent in evidence — squares of felled forest, sand pyramids, tunnels nobody built — and the developers eventually took to adding "Removed Herobrine" to their patch notes as a joke, though there was nothing to remove. His code has never existed in any version of the game.
