“When I told my SUPER religious grandma, all the color drained from her face.
Even then, I could tell it made her uncomfortable.
She’d never believed in anything supernatural before, but she believed me.”
Their bone-chilling stories prompted even more folks from theBuzzFeed Communityto open up about the terrifying mysteries they’ve experienced.
Here’s what they had to say.
“I have a cousin on my mother’s side that I grew up with like siblings.
Around the ages of 12 and 13, we would talk about our dreams.
To our surprise, our dreams were very similar.
We would talk to each other in our dreams.
She passed away the same night we had our dreams.”
Their kitchen window was open, so I yelled into it, asking for help.
The neighbor’s husband came out, and I told him what just happened.
He walked to his truck a few feet away and grabbed a flashlight.
This man was not a neighbor (we knew everyone on our street).
It was creepy AF.
If it wasn’t for my neighbor, I’m not sure what would have happened to me.

“My father died a month before my 11th birthday in 1985.
I was a typical kid then and listened to records and recorded them from the record to cassette tape.
A few months to a year later, I was recording a song and singing along.
After it was over, I let the cassette tape run a few seconds before I turned it off.
I recognized it as my dad’s laugh.
It creeped me out then, but now I find it a comfort.”
“When I was 13, I was hanging out with my friend at her place for a sleepover.
She lived in the last house on a dead-end street with a lot of brackish swamps next to it.
At about 9:30 or so, we decided to grab some drinks from the garage fridge.
Then we stopped to chat on her swing set.
“We chatted and lost track of time.
It just said, ‘Come over here.’
In the many years I knew her dad, I only heard him speak about 10 times.
He would NOT play a prank like that.
I honestly blacked out for the next few moments.
We were just about as scared as could be.
I remember going through the dark house and looking out front; her driveway was empty.
No one lived in the house next to hers except a little old lady and her 5-year-old grandson.
And the really wild part is we just kind of went to bed, I think.

“When I was little, I had an invisible friend.
She was always with me.
A little girl, I don’t remember what she looked like anymore.
It was decades ago now.
“I was on day three of driving solo from Colorado back to Tennessee.
I had my bike on top of my car and figured something got loose.
I pulled over and checked and saw nothing.
We all got back in, kept driving, and the thumping stopped.”

“I’ve had a pet cam for a couple of years.
A few months later, I adopted another dog.
I turned to sound on, and they continued to bark.
“When I was in my late 20s, I was pregnant with my first child.
He did not see me even with lights on, and he started to come into my lane.

There was a fashion show being advertised everywhere.
It was to start at seven o’clock.
I was super excited about it.
I mean, who didn’t love a good ’80s fashion show?
I don’t want to stay here.'”
“My parents own a timeshare in the Poconos.
There were no houses or buildings, just farmland.”
‘We thought it was a tarot card reading place or something like that.
It was the only thing on that entire dirt road.
Did aliens abduct us and fill our car with gas, and we don’t remember?
We’ll never know.”

“My dad died unexpectedly.
I’m someone who always drives exactly the speed limit like he taught me.
But I slowed down.
Then, I heard it again, ‘Slow down.’
I slowed from 50 to 45.
I kept hearing ‘slow down’ for the next 15 minutes.
I slowed to 20 miles, and a buck ran out in front of my car.
If I had been going 55 like I normally was, I don’t know what would have happened.
The deer would have died, and I probably would have been really injured, maybe dead.
I haven’t heard my dad’s voice since then.”
“In the late 1990s, I left my husband and was living alone in Venice.
I know this sounds weird, but I just really feel like someone is going kill me tonight.’

The next day, I felt compelled to draw him and show it to my mom and dad.
They dismissed it as just a dream.
Later that evening, as I was walking down the hall, I heard footsteps behind me.
Without turning around, I called out, ‘Mom, Dad, is it you?’
They yelled back from another room, ‘No.’
I felt scared but continued to my room.
Upon reaching my room, I closed the door behind me.
As I went to my desk to leave the drawing, I noticed the door had opened again.
I screamed and then fainted.
Since then, I’ve had many strange experiences in that house.”
“When I was younger, I lived on the Interstate 95 Corridor.
Well, in my hometown, an individual happened to get shot while pumping gas.
Oddly, I was just at that gas station that particular day five minutes before the shooting occurred.
Another guy at the pump across from me said, ‘Time to go,’ and walked away.
“My most vivid memory of a strange event that happened was in January 1999.
I was staying at my dad’s house as he was in the hospital with pneumonia.
He had a habit of drumming his fingers on the kitchen table to call his cat.
I was sitting in the living room watching TV with the cat on my lap.
It was 10 p.m. when I heard his distinctive drumming on the kitchen table.
The cat also heard it and bolted to the kitchen.
I followed, and no one was there.
This event is still clearly etched in my memory to this day!”

I heard a voice tell me to wait even though I was alone in the car.
Out of nowhere, a truck sped through the now-red light on my left.
I could hear the guy behind me with his window down yell in disbelief.
Death skipped me that day.
Always listen to that inner voice.”
