Ok, at the time this happened, I was a curious college student who wanted to experience and browse the dark web. As a dumb teenager, obviously I didn’t know what I was really getting into.
At the start of downloading TOR and getting access to the dark web, it was just fairly innocent sites such as passport fake identities exc... I’d visited a fake college degree site and was met with a link at the bottom of the page. Out of curiosity, I clicked the link at the bottom of the page and I got redirected to a site which took at least 5-6 mins to load. Then I got redirected to a second site which took even longer to load.
Finally, when this mysterious site had loaded, I had never seen more horror in my entire life. It showed a man, tied up in ropes and screaming in pain. This looked to be a live video with a chat room on the side. On the sadistic chat room, people were typing sickening things, things that no one should ever hear. I heard stuff like “slice his throat open and eat his Adam’s apple raw.” “Slowly mutilate and chop off his limbs one by one.” You had to pay a certain number of bitcoins to make the people on the livestream obey your demands.
I tried to exit the page, I pressed everything but nothing was turning off. I tried to boot my computer off, there was no exit button on the page. I didn’t know what to do... Suddenly, I read a message in the chat room which made my stomach churn. It was along the lines of “chop off his genitalia and shove it down your own throat.” This honestly made me wanna puke. The man obliged and proceeded to do what the user asked. The reaction the the chat room was disgusting aswell. People were like “oh yes I can’t wait!” It was fucked up. The man proceeded to chop off the victims genatalia shove it down his throat. I was on the verge of puking but my eyes kept wanting me to look. The victim let out a horrifying scream of pain... There was no doubt I was in one of the dark webs infamous ‘Red Rooms’.
Then I did something stupid, I took to the chat and wrote “you all are sick! Why the fuck would you torture and innocent man like that you sadistic fucks!” That was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made in my whole life. I received messages of abuse from many users like “pussy” “bitch...” Then I received something that made my heart drop.
My message in the chat room was apparently replied by the owner of the site who said. “How come Mr Jared Williams.” That got me shook, he knew my first and last names. Like a fool again, I replied, “I’m calling the cops.” This was an even worse mistake. The owner replied, he leaked my home address, the name of my mum and dad, the name of my younger brother and started sending videos of me through my webcam onto the chat. I felt like passing out, I quickly covered up my webcam with some post it notes. Lastly, the owner of the site said “call the cops and we’ll find you and do the same to you.” I had heard enough, I unplugged everything that was attached to that computer. My palms were sweating and I felt really light headed.
Nothing happened for a whole 6 months, I never told my parents and never called the police, still fearing that the threat was real. I couldn’t sleep for weeks after the incident. However, the creepiest thing of all happened just very recently. I had received mail from an unknown posting address. I opened it up and in large words it said “Don’t worry, we’re gonna find you and make you suffer.” I literally ripped the note up and reported the website to the police.
I will notify and keep you updated if anything happens.
