“We promptly ran out of the house, almost in tears, and never talked about it again.

We never went back to that couple’s house either.”

Here are just a handful of the many eerie stories.

A cozy bed with a blanket is next to an open window

“I was 13 and dreaming.

In the dream, I was looking out of my bedroom window that faced east.

It was a crystal clear day no clouds in the sky, but the air felt weird.

Cars being driven on a wet highway on a rainy day, with mist and water spray visible behind them

I heard static far away (like a radio station out of range).

It got closer and closer.

I could hear people talking but couldn’t make out what they were saying.

A silhouette of a person holding a scythe standing against a dramatic cloudy sky

I just knew they were in an airplane and could see it coming into view from my window.

It looked like a Fisher-Price toy airplane.

The static sound got louder and closer.”

An elderly person's hand is held by a younger hand, both resting on a textured blanket

“We have three young children who will come into our room late at night while we are sleeping.

They will usually come to my side of the bed and whisper something to me that always startles me.

As soon as I got back into the room, I lay back down and got under the covers.

At that very moment, I heard a very distinct and loud whisper say, ‘Daddy.'”

“It startled me, and I popped right up to see which child needed me.

It freaked me out, and I almost woke my wife up to tell her.

A police officer stands near a taped-off accident scene on a rural road. Multiple vehicles appear damaged in the background

I didn’t, but I mentioned it to her in the morning.

I was definitely wide awake, and neither one of them was there.

“When I was about 19, I lived with my grandparents in Connecticut.

I was driving alone.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt compelled to move to the right lane.”

A forest stream flows over rocks and boulders, surrounded by dense, leafy trees

I figured it would look nice for the concert if I got it done that day.

The morning of the concert, my salon was on the news.

He shot four others before shooting himself.

Had I been in that salon, I very well could’ve been murdered.”

I slept one night with her in her room and also saw the Grim Reaper.

I was curled up in a comfy chair watching the 11 o’clock news.

Behind my chair was a short hallway going back to two bedrooms and a bath.

I even saw myself sitting up and leaning forward towards the TV in this view.

I then saw a man dressed in Amish garb walking towards me with his arms raised on the screen.

By then, I jumped up and turned away from the TV to see who was there.

“My husband and my mother were always close.

She was in a coma and didn’t respond to our voices or any kind of stimuli.

At 3:30 a.m., she took her last breath and was pronounced deceased.

I decided not to call him but just to go home as we lived fairly close to the hospice.

So I gathered up her things and drove home, arriving at about 4:15 a.m.”

“When I was 10, I was in a bad rollover accident with my mother and younger sister.

Some weak and spindly trees held up the Jeep on the shoreline of a small lake.

If those trees gave way, we were going in the water.

This was also WAY before cell phones and the like.”

My children are in the car.

just help me!’

After getting my sister and me to safety, he helped my mom.

We could see for at least a mile in any direction, and he had just ceased to be.

“My mother-in-law died a few years ago, right after Christmas.

She had lived in my husband’s childhood home until three years before her death.

She moved to assisted living and eventually died in a nursing home.

We sold the house when she moved out and shut down the phone line.

A year later, after she died, our phone rang.

It was 2 a.m. on Christmas Eve.

There was no message.

I went over to the phone and checked the caller ID.

The last number we received was my husband’s childhood phone number.

That phone number had been disconnected for over three years.

I called back the number, and there was a recording that the number had been disconnected!

I told my husband, and he told me to recheck the caller ID.

The number was gone.

I think my mother-in-law was wishing us a Merry Christmas.”

“When I was 11, my school sent us on a trip from New England to New York.

Thankfully, my friends and family have started to trust me, too!

“I was driving down the highway, getting ready to take an off-ramp.

My friend was in the car with me.

The roads were a bit slick with a light coating of ice.

I turned to my friend and said, ‘Something’s not right.

I think someone is going to hit us!’

She said, ‘Stop it, really!’

As we took the exit, I immediately pulled over to the shoulder.

Only then did I realize there was a car turned sideways on the ramp ahead of us.”

“One night, when I was 11, I got really sick and started throwing up.

Eventually, I stopped and went to bed.

It was about 3 a.m.

Even though I was tired, I couldn’t fall asleep.

I had a creepy feeling that someone was watching me.

We moved two of our couches together and threw on some pillows, and I went to sleep.

At about 3:30, I woke up to voices above my head.”

We did, and it must have worked because I never heard voices again.

“When I was away at school, I used to take a train home to visit during breaks.

I had my spring break trip on my computer and was ready to book.

I was initially booking a 4:30 p.m. train to return to school on a Sunday.

I got back to the city where my school was on Saturday evening, and everything was normal.”

“My cousin and I grew up together and were more like siblings.

The money he won that fateful night was never found on him.

Now quit messing with these occult things because they are evil.'

We promptly ran out of the house, almost in tears,and never talked about it again.

We never went back to that couple’s house either.”

One weekend, I met up with a friend and went out for dinner and a few drinks.

A few weeks later, I found out he died trying to save two friends from drowning.”

I loved my dad, but I was also terrified of him.

Strange things began to happen around my house as I wrestled with my predicament.

My shoes would disappear and then reappear inside the dryer.

Lights and power would go out randomly as the fuse box showed no abnormalities.

Loud rhythmic clanking developed in the house, audible only when I was upset."

The camera had never been out of my sight.

I can’t stress enough that it didn’t fall; it flew.

We were both terrifiednothing seemed to have caused it.

Twenty minutes after that happened, I got a phone call notifying me that my father had died.

“One night, I woke up unbearably thirsty, which had never happened before (or since).

Mid-gulp, the place just didn’t feel right.

I set the glass down with a few swallows left in it and edged back towards the hall.

Utterly terrified, I ran back to bed.

I learned two weeks later that she had died that night.”

One of the islands we visited I’ll never forget was Aruba, where the strangest things happened.

It was absolutely beautiful.

I said yes, and we agreed on a time and place.

I went with my mom, but he ended up being a no-show.

My mom and I spent some time together afterward, not bothered.

“I went with two of my cousins to this bar, and the boy met us there.

I stupidly said yes.

From there, things got extremely dangerous and scary.

I said, ‘Okay,’ hesitantly because what else can I do??

We arrived at this house and went inside.

We thankfully end up leaving by the grace of God.

This boy takes me to the side of a cliff in ARUBA!

I got his phone number, and thankfully, he agreed to take me back.

I got back to the bar, and my mom was hysterical, rightfully so.

I never was so scared for my life.
