Creepy Forest/Dog running off/Scary tale?

[TakeMeToKernow]

AIBU to ask someone to please direct me to the CREEPIEST story I’ve ever heard on MN, about someone who was house sitting in a forest and then a dog got out... if you’ve read the story, you’ll know it. Much to my OH’s annoyance I was up till about 1am trawling the woo threads in Classics but couldn’t find it 😫

That chapel one is so scary - I love it!

I recall a thread, very vaguely about a family that went to stay in an old country house. They arrived very late and went straight to bed.
There was some scratching /whining at the bedroom door, which opened slightly and the wife presuming it was the family dog dropped her hand to pet the dog, let it sniff and lick her hand and nodded off to sleep.

In the morning they went down to eat breakfast and catch up with their friends and ask where the dog was. Their hosts said they had no pets /dog.🥴

I remember most of these. Also a werewolf one in a caravan park. Every I stay in a Haven I have walk extra fast at night after the pub now 😂

@paradisaea - ooooohhh what's your story about this place?

Mine is nowhere near as scary or interesting but I still think about it.

I must have been about twelve at the time and my grandparents took me to the White Cliffs experience in Dover castle. There were guided tours and I remember at one point we were going through one of the tunnels which had another tunnel branch off it. I glanced to look down the branch off and there at the far end of the corridor was a human male figure lit in green light, mouth moving but no sound, almost like an animatronic or a projection/hologram. I didn't think anything off it apart from guessing it was part of the experience and we would loop around back to it later in the tour. The trouble was we didn't.

At one point the tour guide started telling us a story of a woman on another tour who had seen a ghost, a man working in one of the rooms that she thought was a tour guide, until he turned and walked right through her and she collapsed. I still don't know what I saw at the end of that corridor, perhaps it was some special effect that my tour didn't take in because it was broken or something, or that it was a set up to freak out the tourists (The tour guide told the story after I had seen it. But if it was I would have thought more people would know about it) or if I really did see something supernatural.

Be warned, that link I posted is mainly murders and the like, rather than scary stuff in the woods.

Mine isn't a ghost story although having worked in some very old hospitals I have experienced some unexplainable things.
Mine was when I was working on an orthopedic trauma ward. A young lad, about 18 was brought in who was the sole survivor in a car crash which had killed the other 3 occupants. He had multiple injuries and never regained consciousness but he breathed independently and had a feeding PEG tube etc for food, fluids and medication. He was considered fit to be an organ donor after multiple examinations. They had the transplant team in theatre waiting so it was the real deal. His parents had found a degree of solace in this as his brother had tragically died in the crash. Well bugger me. This kid has some sort of miracle recovery while the teams are getting ready in theatre. I absolutely kid you not. He comes back to the ward, tells me he remembers me reading the crickets scores out to him and playing music to him. He leaves hospital, carries on with life and goes and gets killed in another car crash about 6 months later. Creeped me out. Couple of years later that film Final Destination came out. It's always made me wonder if your time's up it's up. This was down in Somerset in the early 90's.

@Twelveisthebestnumber that gave me a shiver. My friend was talking about your time being up and people surviving things just to be killed a short time later. I'm not one for fate but it makes you think.

Did they not check he was brain dead?

Just found this oldie, what a great read!

The best one for me was the person and her partner living in a rental house that had some sort of extra room off the kitchen I think, a small coat cupboard I think (was AGES ago) which, after they moved out, was apparently not there, not in the particulars and not in the house with the new people!!
I assume it's not true but it really stuck with me, wish I could read it again!

Oh that's bizarre, I literally went looking for that story last night (at bed time, idiot that I am).

Weird coincidence that it's popped back up today!

I loved the camping pods in Scotland in a storm ghost story where the husband was screaming in the snow and the owner was called Tristan. But apparently that was total bollocks too.

Of course it was bollocks. It wasn’t even competently-executed bollocks like the Savernake Forest story (though I feel that two utterances from two supernatural voices in that one is overkill).

Or that 18 year old boys are statistically more likely to drive dangerously and are disproportionately likely to be involved in serious road accidents?

I was going to look for it too last night, but waited until today! 😅

Someone told me about this thread. Ghost in the mill thread was me. It was removed as some posters pieced together the information, found out what my business was, and posted my identity online.
