Arcadia, The Lost State
Add this post to your list of favorites!The 51st state of the United States, Arcadia, was admitted to statehood on January 17th, 1977. Exactly 4 years to the day later, Arcadia disappeared along with all its residents, and all memory of its existence was erased from every mind in the world. Its precise former location is unknown, though there is rumored to be a map of the type sold in gas stations and convenience stores held under lock and key in the Library of Congress.
Also of note are claims of the sporadic delivery of mail from Arcadia, with modern postmarks, to several major American newspapers, the contents of which are said to be written in an entirely unknown and undecipherable language. Unfortunately, those letters to a one have been misplaced and are not available for examination.
Arcadia, The Lost State,
Hmm, a bit like Atlantis isn’t it…a whole city goes missing. Would be interesting to read a letter from ‘Arcadia’ if this one were true, just to add a an extra spook factor to it.

I really enjoy this one– the whole mysterious and unsettling factor is why I love creepypasta; the intrigue of something that seems impossible, but makes you want to go out and mull around the map section at a gas station.

This reminds me a little of something I heard in a TV show about a town called Roanoke that vanished.
Like the whole settlement (it was back in colonial times) vanished and all that was left was a marking in a tree that said “Croatoan”.

Delicious!
I could eat that creepypasta all day. I want this to be real, Arcadia, letters in an undecipherable language just screams “ultimate weird fiction tale”.
Good work Arcadia author/creator.

This seems like possible short story material. If my muse wasn’t totally dead right now, this would probably be rather inspiring.

Uhhm. Question?
If it was erased from all human minds, how the hell does the author know about it? Actually, how do any of the said people in the story know about it?

So the Library of Congress has the gas stations under lock and key?
