Best Scary Stories
Police asked to be taken to the scene of the “ghosting”, but by the time Mr. Pigeon and his police escorts reached the spot where he’d seen the apparition, it was no more. Built in 1870, the former Albion Porter & Ale Brewery thrived in San Francisco, supplying over 800 saloons in the city until Prohibition shut down the brewery in 1919. Under the castle are two stone cisterns that yield 8,000-10,000 gallons of spring water a day. Post Prohibition, the brewery turned into the Albion Water Company. Since 1947, the property has changed ownership countless times – and many owners have reported eerie encounters with a female spirit entity in the stone tunnels.
If you have a fear of drowning, you need to read this. A reader told us, "While growing up in Sacramento, some "thing" pushed me into a pool and pinned me to the bottom..." Sometimes her haunting face enters my dreams, beckoning to me with her sad eyes. I felt his hands around my throat, but don’t think I stayed still and mute. I felt a banshee screeching from deep inside me. I reached up and scratched his face, while he tried to strangle me...
It’s a good campfire scary story for kids but can be used for sleepovers, Halloween, or any other time you need a scare. The book revolves around one of the deadliest fires in American history — it occurred in a Catholic elementary school in Chicago 40 years ago. The tragic moment took the lives of 92 children and three nuns at Our Lady of the Angels School. This horrifying event left many families physically and psychologically scarred for life. This story is one of the most heartwrenching out of the scariest nonfiction ghost stories.
Of course, if you want to compound the issue, and believe in the stories, the ship was supposedly cursed long before it suffered from an endless stream of dead captains or first mates. Supposedly several men were killed during the construction of the ship, and one of their widows cursed the ship and everyone who was to sail on it, and then she went and committed suicide to make the curse stick. Mind the bones at Hole 6 - the railroad is haunted by those who never made it home alive. Miss Piggott was a ferocious old woman who operated a saloon and boarding house in the raw and raucous Barbary Coast during the 1860s and 1870s.
As they returned to washing the dishes, it happened again. The second time, they realized it was the voice of their great-grandma who passed away seven years ago. One night, the writer went to collect food carts in one of their units, alone. The whole time they were in the unit, they felt like they were being followed. Fearing what they might see, they never turned around.
Their grandma went into her room, and our Reddit user went to the bathroom to brush their teeth. That was when they heard three light knocks right behind them. It’s 1912, and the Moore family, along with two sisters who were friends of the Moore children, reddit horror stories arrived at their home. They had just spent the evening at a children’s day celebration at their local Lutheran church, an event Mrs. Moore had helped plan. After spending some time together, they all settled down for a good night’s sleep.
Although the house was next to a cemetery, no one was too worried. The writer was rather fascinated, but not yet wary. Eventually, the young couple had enough and talked with their neighbors to learn about the history of the house. They learned that the house had been built in the 1970s, and the elderly lady who had owned the house before them died at the age of 101.
During breakfast, we talked about what happened and came to the conclusion our imaginations had taken over. We decided to walk back to the house in the daylight. Every hour or so, the girl was awoken by the dripping tap. But because she had stayed up so late, she was too tired to go and turn it off tightly. Instead, she would reach out to check for her husky and it would lick her hand while she fell asleep.
Seeking revenge, Chloe killed two of the master’s daughters by poisoning a birthday cake. She was then hanged by her fellow enslaved people, and today is reportedly seen wandering the plantation with a turban on to conceal her ear. Then about a year after that incident my mom and her boyfriend realized that small amounts of money had been going missing for months (totaling around $ , but never more than $60 at once). So we all walked around the house with flashlights trying to figure out how they could have gotten in. Turns out some creep was climbing in through a small hole in the outside of the house, shimmying through a crawl space, then coming up into the house through the basement. Realizing I had been alone in the house with him on at least one occasion was one of the worst, most terrifying moments I’ve ever had.
I asked him why the regular mailman wasn't here, and I was told he was visiting family. He kept telling me to open the front door, but I politely told him that I wasn't feeling well and that I wasn't allowed to leave the house. I told him we would pick up the box from the post office, and he was telling me how much of a hassle that would be, and how my mom would want me to do her this favor. I told him that I would come outside, but that I had to get my shoes from upstairs first. Then I ran through the house and locked the back door and called my neighbor who worked from home. She was a close family friend, and I called her up screaming into the phone that she had to come over right now.
I turned and continued to work, headphones off. Woke up the next morning, and told my mom what I’d seen. I don’t know if she believes in ghosts, but she doesn’t NOT believe in ghosts, and she listened and cared.
Seems this story is more satisfactory than scary — Todd and Leon get exactly what they want, and the Earth is spared their uselessness. She says that she has never seen anything, but the feeling there is heavy and draining. Jean Romier is not the only person in the Jardin de Luxembourg who has been visited by a man wearing a black frock coat. If you are approached by a mysterious man confessing his love for Mozart and inviting you to come see a classical concert, calmly reply,“J’aime seulement le Hip Hop.”I only like hip hop. After exchanging pleasantries, Jean Romier and the mysterious man, who introduced himself as Alphonse Berruyer, discovered that they shared the love of Chamber music.
The stairs up to the landing are old and creek like hell, I would’ve heard someone come and go down. Weirder still, nothing like it has happened since. Finally my leg dropped before I could reconsider. I pushed myself up those stairs, and even though I didn’t want to anymore, I couldn’t stop myself, only slow down. Each step up was taken at a agonizingly slow pace, and I wanted so bad just to go back down stairs and find someone – run to my grandparents house and stay with them until my mum was home. The neighbor ran over to help and discovered that the garage was on fire.
