What's the scariest story you've ever heard? Even better if it's true ( ◜‿◝ )

I still get chills when I tell that story LMAO.

Hands down the scariest story I've ever heard ;)

Ok, here’s a real one. :-)

I was once married to a man who led a Ghost Hunting group. We reserved an entire floor of a haunted Bed and Breakfast, and his team setup all the cameras and equipment on the first day. They then decided to go investigate another nearby haunted place, and I stayed behind with the equipment. I was alone for several hours, and nothing eventful happened... or so I thought.

There was a camera in the top back corner of our room, which was supposed to have the most ghost activity. It filmed me on the floor putting together a puzzle and watching TV. The closet was wide open on my left. Then the hangers slowly parted like someone was coming out from behind the clothes, and then slowly fell together again. I then see myself looking toward the closet and all around me.

It happened a few more times while I was in the room, and I would see myself look over at the closet, but I was always too late to see anything. I was like, “I KNEW something was going on with the closet, but I thought I was being paranoid.” I thought it was cool.

A ghost hunter? That's an interesting occupation. That would have really creeps me out 😟

The apartment I lived in one year in college had a metal spiral staircase to get up to the second floor as it was a townhouse style unit. The building was an old abandoned cotton mill, converted to apartments, and our unit was directly below a penthouse apartment that management no longer rented to anyone because it was supposedly haunted. The stairs in the apartment would creak fiercely every time you stepped on the landing at the top. My roommate was there alone one night and the light at the top of the stairs was on. He was sitting on the couch below, and he heard the stairs creak loudly. He looked up, and saw a shadow cast on the way as if someone were standing on the platform and blocking the light out from above. He left and didnt come back until we got there a few days later.

That was the wildest thing, but we all had experiences that we couldn't explain while living there. My phone would move in the middle of the night, we saw other shadows that didnt belong, the tv would turn on by itself in the middle of the night...weird place...

I remember you speaking about that one time already. How all of you felt that there was a spirit of a little girl behind it all. Wish I was there. Been too long since I've had a good scare.

There was another time about a year ago, ironically right around Halloween. I went outside my house around 11pm to take out my trash, there was someone standing in the middle of my cul-de-sac, all I could see was their silhouette with the street light behind them. I took the trash can to the street, turned around to get my recycle box, got it, started to go back to the street and they were still just standing there motionless. I watched them for a good while, because it was definitely weird. They never moved, for at least five minutes. I had one more bag of trash to take out so back to the garage, grabbed the bag, went back out and they were gone, nowhere to be seen, but I could hear footsteps walking down the road directly in front of me...no one was there. I listened as the footsteps faded further away down the street until they just stopped. I still have no idea what the heck that was all about, but it gave me some serious creeps.

There was this time when i was young. This happened many years ago so i can't remember everything but ill do my best.
I think what happened was as my mom was going to the hospital rushed none the less after having dinner at a restaurant. They didn't call an ambulance so my dad was driving. My mom was having stomach pains. It was early in the morning.
Not to worry though i was safe and sound. Whem my mom got to the hospital the doctors did there thing and told my mom to wait a while in the hospital. Then at 5:00 p.m. on Jan 13 2001 i was born

I showed up first to work after the weekend and the door was unlocked. Strange....

I go inside and the lights are all on and the conveyor belt is on....

Turn the corner and the forktruck, still running, is sitting on a pile of inserts that had been on a pallet, but now were spread across the floor....

I head into the pressroom and the presses are turning slowly, but there isn't any paper going through them.....

I reach the locker room and there is water coming out from it into the pressroom....

In the locker room the shower is on......

I pull the curtain back and!!!!!

Nothing...there isn't anyone there!

I head outside to wait for more co-workers and the foreman shows up. He calls the cops and they search the building, but find no one.....

Then we finally find out what happened. The lead Pressman had just been told by his wife that she was leaving him and he went out and got totally wasted and went to work. The cops found him asleep in his car later that day.

I dont want to tell you any real one, because they freak me out.But I have a fake short story that I publish a few days ago.Click on my profile and go to my short stories stream if your interested, its called 'blue to red'.

Then the boomers said, "Get good grades, and you'll go far in life."

My parents are GenX-ers, but this perfectly describes them, despite both of them experiencing first hand that good grades don't make you go far in life.

If they're Gen-Xers, then it's a toss-up. Boomers were my teachers. Parents are GenX, but they did do a lot better than I did when I was in my early 20s.

This is a story I made in BeamNG, but it's still chilly.

A police officer was patrolling Utah a dark night, in October 13th 2002, an actual Friday the 13th. He saw a Dodge Viper on fire far in the darkness, went close to check it, as he got closer he saw a dead body inside it. Closer and closer, the dead body was gone and the fire suddenly got put out by nothing. He suspected that a lot, since he knew paranormal activity. He called other cops, no one responded. He was with no signal where he was. Few miles after that, his car went out, right behind a parked semi. He could see the semi's mirror, there was a completely white face with two dots and a large smile. The Semi also had blood marks on it's rims and tires... He was scared enough already, but to make that even worse, the Viper from before appeared driving normally on the other side of the road, now with an old man driving. He was a normal man. The cop decided to leave his car and run away from the place and he found a small house, where he stayed in for that night with the house's owner. October 14th morning, the officer found out the old man driving the Viper was dead 11 years ago, in 1991, in an accident with that same Viper, and that road is where the semi he parked behind got destroyed by a German landmine left from WW2... The end. (:

One day I was walking down the 7th grade hallway and no one was in the classrooms then I thought I saw the rake

I have a tendency to walk silently behind some people or just stand behind them without them knowing I'm behing them, and thereby giving them a good scare when they turn around, often unintentionally.
I also tend to scare girls while going through the school hallway. I'd walk (and I walk quite quickly), and while I'm about to turn around the corner, someone else would be turning around the corner at the same time from another direction. As that happens, I run into them and scare the crap out of them.

The time I scared someone the most was one time when we were exploring an abandoned mansion. We still haven't arrived there, and as I was the only one with a bike, I went ahead to scout the place a little and see if there was anyone there already. I arrived there and had a brilliant idea. They arrived, and I was still in the mansion. There were three of them, and two of them entered a small argument of sorts, one saying to the other:"We'll see who'll beat the shit out of who". I poked my head through the window and shouthed:"I'll beat the shit out of you, f**kers!". They lost it. One of them had to catch his breath for a few seconds. The other two were simply scared shitless. I'm still proud of my work from that day.

Haha, I'm surprised someone hasn't giving you a good slap yet 😂. You sound like a real life ninja.
I remember getting up late at night to go to the bathroom. I ended up kicking my brother in the nether regions. It was dark and I bumped into him in the hallway, it gave me a proper scare and for whatever reason my natural reflex was to kick out.

Hahah, I'm equally surprised :D Especially when you consider that I do piss people off from time to time and I look like I have a serious case of atrophy. Don't get me wrong. I can handle myself in a fight. It's just that you would never guess it from the way I look. And with long black hair and a nearly lifeless accent, whether in Serbian or English, you have a real creep.

A very clumsy ninja, if that. I can get through narrow places mose people aren't able to and am quite good at climbing, though. One time, me and my then-tennis-playing friend went to a local Tennis field late ant night, him wanting to steal some balls. The gates were locked loosely with a chain and padlock, so you could fit through the gap between if you pushed one gate and pulled the other. I did that, went inside, took two balls and went out. We don't feel sorry for the owner of the tennis field, because:
1. He's a rich asshole
2. He didn't even notice the balls missing
3. There have been at least ten people before me stealing balls from his field

Ow. That was very uncomfortable to read. Hope you didn't kick your brother too hard in his private area.

To avoid the confusion, by "we", I meant me and my friends. Sorry :\

I knew what you meant :)

So there we all were, it's late at night and all of sudden a loud Crash happens. Everyone heard it, but when we tried to figure out what it was.........no one had an answer. Like there is literally NO explanation and that was in front of 50 people or more.
