short real life creepy stories

There was this time when I was walking in an old cemetery. As I passed by a particular grave, I felt a sudden cold chill. Then I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye that seemed to be following me. I ran out of there as fast as I could.

One real - life horror story from a creepy channel could be about a haunted house exploration. A group went into an old, abandoned mansion that was known for its strange noises at night. They started filming as they entered the dark corridors. All of a sudden, doors began to slam shut on their own and cold gusts of wind blew through the halls when there were no open windows. They quickly ran out, and when they reviewed the footage, there were shadowy figures that they hadn't noticed while filming.

One of the creepy real - life stories could be the story of the Bell Witch. It was a poltergeist - like entity that haunted the Bell family in Tennessee. There were strange noises, physical attacks on family members, and it even predicted the death of John Bell. Another could be the case of the Amityville Horror, where a family claimed to experience all sorts of terrifying phenomena in their new home like slime on the walls and strange apparitions. A third one might be the story of the Borley Rectory in England, which was considered the most haunted house in the country. There were reports of phantom nuns, strange lights, and unexplained noises.

One creepy short story is about a woman who moved into an old house. Every night, she heard strange scratching noises coming from the attic. One day, she finally mustered the courage to go up there. She found an old doll with a torn face and long, matted hair. It gave her the chills and she immediately moved out.

One creepy story is about a woman who moved into an old house. Every night, she heard strange scratching noises coming from the attic. One day, she finally mustered the courage to go up there.

One creepy story is about an old abandoned house. People passing by at night often heard strange moans. A group of brave teens once decided to go in. As they entered, they felt a sudden coldness. They saw a shadowy figure in the hallway that disappeared when they blinked. They ran out in terror and never went back.

Well, a friend of mine was staying in a hotel room. In the middle of the night, she heard the sound of a child crying in the hallway. When she opened the door to check, there was no one there. But the crying continued. She called the front desk and they said there were no children on that floor.

The unknown is often the scariest element. In these stories, things like strange noises or unexplained figures. For example, in the story of the woman in the old house, the scratching noise from the attic was scary because she didn't know what was causing it.

The sense of helplessness. When things keep happening and there seems to be no way to stop them. In a story where a family was haunted by a malevolent spirit, they tried everything from religious rituals to moving, but the strange occurrences continued. That feeling of being unable to escape the horror is what makes these stories so scary.

I heard of a story where a family bought an old farmhouse. They started experiencing strange events right away. The lights would flicker at odd times, and they would find objects moved around the house. One night, they saw a figure standing at the end of the hallway. They ran out of the house and never went back. Turns out, the previous owner had died under mysterious circumstances in that house.
