To ask the spookiest/creepiest/mysterious thing you've ever heard?

[SpookyOhs]

I know we've had these before but I just love all things creepy or mysterious!

I love reading them in the evening, perhaps I'm a freak but what is the scariest thing you've ever heard (or seen if you have any first hand experiences!)? Or even a horror short you've watched?

I usually read things about mysterious disappearances, anything to do with cults or witches gives me the creeps.

The Smiling Man on Creepy Pasta is one that always makes me uneasy!

Ha ha! I am quite happy with kind of pretending it could be real and then comforting myself with “well it was probably made up!” when it’s too scary!

I've had quite a few, unexplained things happening over the years. Always had really vivid dreams and a lot of nightmares that wake me up.
I remember after my Gran dying who I was really close she would often visit me in my dreams and we would chat away.

For a while I got quite into visiting psychics and tarot cards. The more I would visit the worse my dreams would get. One was recurring, that I was at my old flat in the Newtown in Edinburgh. There was a really old woman in the bottom of my garden and I could see her from my kitchen, I knew in my dream I felt scared.
I felt that the more I was tapping into something it was showing me this dark side that was scary. I stopped going to psychics and the scary dreams also stopped.

Years ago, my bf had gone out for the night. On his way home pretty late, he was texting me. All was fine until he said there was somebody weird behind him. He told me there was somebody with an odd looking face who seemed to be following him. He carried on walking but kept looking back. This person kept slightly speeding up and then pressing their body against the wall as though trying not to be seen. He kept looking behind him until he turned and saw him running towards him. He then ran like crazy all the way home and rang me once he got on, totally out of breath and shook up. We were both convinced he'd had a narrow escape but what he couldn't get over was the guys face, he said it seemed to be all stretched out of shape and not right. We told lots of people about it over the next couple of days and everybody was as confused and freaked out as us.
About 5 years later, my by then dh was in the pub in town when an old friend came in went straight over to him and proceeded to tell him (through roaring laughter) about the time years ago when he'd seen him walking home after he'd been to a fancy dress party so he'd decided to scare him for a joke. He'd been wearing an old man mask and had had been 'jokingly' hiding in bushes and against walls to scare him. He'd eventually tried to catch him up but my bf had then started running. Apparently the guy was laughing so hard at the time that he couldn't run fast enough to catch him up! That was the first time he'd seen him since to be able to tell him!

My mum and dad's house is about 30 years old and was built on what appeared to be a bit of waste ground. The front has 2 stories and the back has 1 as it's built into a hill, so the back of the ground floor is partially underground, no windows. So it's a bungalow, with a half floor underneath which is one big room.

The night we moved in, I was 4. I had a dream that there was an old man in a rocking chair, staring at me menacingly from the corner of the room downstairs. For the rest of the time I lived there, until I was 19, I ran up the stairs as it felt like I was being watched.

My mum has since admitted that electrical items turn on and off by themselves in that room, including an electric typewriter and a computer printer spitting out nonsense. She also hates hoovering down there as she has felt someone bump into her from behind several times.

It transpires their house is built on old allotments that belonged to nearby retirement flats.

@mysurveysays I swear to god if anyone ever did that to me it would be the last thing they did. Things like that make me shit myself.

We live in a very old house. Yesterday one of my DCs - mid teen - said they'd had a scary experience in their bedroom the previous night. There was a bang on the wooden floor at the side of their bed. They looked but couldn't see what could be responsible. When they put their hand over the area, it hurt. The pain stopped on moving their hand away. They tried it again, and it hurt again. The pet in the room at the time also kept staring at the area. Explanations welcome!

CharDee - I remember your story from last time. The ghost alcove. Gives me goosebumps. I can’t think of a logical explanation. Why would a building lend you an alcove? It’s so weird!

I love these stories

Like poms, my mum looked after one of my 'uncles' whilst he was dying (no idea what relation he really was). Hed been in the first war as well. She found him (in i presume deep fever) screaming pressed against the floor digging with his hands and shouting with a young man's voice.

I wish she had never told me that. I read something similar in a Pat Barker book a bit later and realised how common it must have been for those men.

I find most of these terrifying but can’t stop reading them! I do find the animal ones lovely though, it must be weirdly comforting to still hear your pet for years after they have gone. I had something similar when I was a child although only once that I can remember. Our pet dog had died in my arms when he was 16. He used to sleep at the top of the stairs outside the lounge door. I came out of the door one day after he died and he walked right in front of me. I grabbed hold of the bannister In front of me and jumped up to avoid kicking him, looked back and he was gone.

Love these!

Im trying to imagine how my dog would make herself scary as a ghost now. Shes a tiny albino and actually was called spook before we changed it.

When I was in my mid teens I used to sometimes cycle out of the village and along a not very often used footpath. Every single time I got to the exact same section of the footpath the air would turn ice cold.
It could be a lovely hot day and without fail that one small section would feel like a freezer had just been opened. It was quite unnerving esp as it was a section that wasn't really visible from the road.
The footpath has now been moved and now runs alongside the road. The section I mentioned is still there but will be overground now. I wonder if it still turns ice cold?!

A story told to me by my very unwoo mum.
A daughter was holding her mums hand on her death bed, anyway her mum suddenly turned to her and said. We've still got a few hours left. Ive just saw 2 lists of names. I'm not on the first list. I'm on the second list to die at 12.50.
I can't actually recall exact the time my mum stated . I know it was around the 12-1mark. , but The lady did die at the time she predicted. .
