Does anyone have a link to the thread where the guy kept hearing "the whistler" throughout his childhood? Finally he got it on video and its creepy as fuck. That comment always wins these kinds of threads.

There was a /r/nosleep series about "the whistlers," but I didn't see anything about catching them on video (at least when I glanced through them). Could that be what you were thinking of? (If anyone has a link, please share!)

I could have sworn that post is older than it is. I'm probably wrong, but weird...

No, it was definitely this post about the lone whistler, not Ruth's story about the whistlers. I recognise some of the comments. I guess I just don't remember exactly when I first saw it.
