The Bay Of Kola
The Bay of Kola, off Murmansk, is a graveyard for old Soviet submarines, which spill nuclear waste out into the Barents Sea. Many a Western explorer has braved the subzero temperatures and biting tainted winds, but few have lived to tell the tale. The locals of Murmansk say that sometimes, when the wind is high and is dashing the grease-iced waves on the choppy waters of the bay, one can hear the voices of those who died as a result of boarding those submarines. The only problem is that only the strongest to go have ever survived, and each one of those surviving visitors to Kola dies within ten weeks of telling their story to the barman at Rokossovsky’s in Murmansk.

I know this one won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but I’m currently reading this book about an explorer that vanished off the face of the earth, so this one ~captured my imagination~ and such. Also, you should all read that book, it’s awesome.
I read barman as batman.
I think it would be better that way.
Oh hi.
Sounds interesting.
I’m gonna do some research on this, and maybe download the book
i didnt like this one to much..I wished it was a bit longer
Not bad, but including their story would make it a lot better.
?SUBMARINE SOVIET WAS WHO BUT
I liked it. Ambiguous enough to let my mind wander, let specific enough to be eerie. Awesome.
That story made no sense.
Boring pasta…………………………………………………………..
Not creepy enough for my taste, but I love the short ones. Sometimes they’re the best.
The book is awesome like how?
I couldn’t quite wrap my head around this one. Significance of barman is?
“I read barman as batman.
I think it would be better that way.”
I second that.
well written, but there’s only really a sentence worth of information here.
It’s pretty interesting that WWP mentioned that book. I actually wrote the Wikipedia article on the city that some people think Colonel Percy Fawcett may have been looking for when he went missing. Here’s a link, if anyone wants to read about it:

Dying of radiation huh? Sad but not unusual.
also, why were they trying to visit the place anyways?
the real horror story here is the lack of proper disposal of nuclear waste.
Found it boring, I speak for myself when I say this but I like a short story that builds up and builds up and then the ending sends you crashing down all at once and sends a chill down your spine.
Advertising pasta?
So there’s nothing to be afraid of except people with lots of money who wont stay the hell away from old nuclear submarines and the few survivors go to this bar and tell him about it die later?
Sounds like the KGB to me.
*head explodes*
Well thank God you told me! I was planning a vacation there.
What’s the books title? it sounds interesting probably way way better than this pastaaa.
What?
Just don’t tell the barman the story, and BAYUM! you’re still alive. Haunted submarine got PWND.
Thanks for the pasta, David Grann
This story tells me something. It tells me NOT to go chasing after the nuclear wessels.
Well, if I ever go visiting any nuclear subs I’ll have to remember not to tell any shady-lookin’ bartenders.
Thanks for the warning!
This is not pasta.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. Could be better expressed as a road sign showing a swimmer with a red diagonal slash through him.
In Soviet Russia, radiation sickness gets YOU!
so now our creepypasta advertise books.
fucking gay.
the idea of bay somewhere filled with “old Soviet submarines” is cool, but this story is far too short and needs to be fleshed out
Wait a second. Why would only the toughest explorers survive when it was previously being used as a major naval hub? Russians aren’t THAT tough.
Radiation poisoning =/= tasty pasta.
In Soviet Russia submarine explores YOU!
Sounds like this place is haunted by a ghost named … radiation.
And the \\\’survivors\\\’ are killed by the cold, dark, frightful hand of … radiation poisoning.
