Story 1:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When I\u00a0was a\u00a0child, I\u00a0had a\u00a0small wooden rocking chair in\u00a0my\u00a0room. I\u00a0don\u2019t remember ever actually using the thing, but my\u00a0parents decided it\u00a0was a\u00a0good enough decoration to\u00a0have when we\u00a0moved to\u00a0our new house. I\u00a0remember feeling strange in\u00a0this new house at\u00a0night. The feeling of\u00a0being\u00a0watched\u00a0was pretty present, too.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Well, a\u00a0few years after moving into this house, I\u00a0had been sitting up\u00a0on\u00a0my\u00a0bed reading when, out of\u00a0nowhere, music started playing. I\u00a0looked over to\u00a0see this little wooden rocking chair rocking\u2014apparently, it\u00a0had a\u00a0music box in\u00a0the back of\u00a0it\u00a0I never knew about. I\u00a0ran out of\u00a0the room to\u00a0my\u00a0parents screaming, who laughed at\u00a0me\u00a0and told\u00a0me, \u201cYou must have hit it\u00a0playing around.\u201d Except I\u00a0know\u00a0I was on\u00a0the bed the whole time\u2026 and the thing started moving by\u00a0itself.<\/p>\n

Story 3:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The very first\u00a0hotel\u00a0I worked\u00a0at, I\u00a0started at\u00a0the front desk on\u00a0the 3\u00a0PM to\u00a011\u00a0PM shift. There was always someone with me\u00a0from 2\u00a0PM to\u00a010\u00a0PM, so\u00a0I only had a\u00a0little over an\u00a0hour alone at\u00a0the desk. Our\u00a0kitchen\u00a0closed at\u00a010\u00a0PM, so\u00a0by\u00a010:15\u00a0PM, it\u00a0was usually just the bartender and me\u00a0still there.<\/p>\n

One night, close to\u00a011\u00a0PM, there was a\u00a0massive\u00a0noise\u00a0from the kitchen area. The bartender and\u00a0I ran back there to\u00a0check it\u00a0out, and we\u00a0saw that every single pot, pan, ladle, spoon\u2014everything hanging from the ceiling racks\u2014was on\u00a0the floor. It\u00a0was complete chaos.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After our shift, we\u00a0watched the security footage, and there was\u00a0no\u00a0one<\/i> in\u00a0the kitchen when it\u00a0happened. I\u00a0have no\u00a0explanation for\u00a0it. It\u2019s one of\u00a0the scariest things that has ever happened to\u00a0me, and\u00a0I couldn\u2019t get out of\u00a0there fast enough.<\/p>\n

Story 5:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When I\u00a0was in\u00a0college, I\u00a0house-sat for my\u00a0parents. I\u2019m a\u00a0bit of\u00a0a\u00a0scaredy-cat, so\u00a0I locked every door leading to\u00a0the bedroom before going to\u00a0bed at\u00a0night. One night, I\u00a0had the weirdest\u00a0dream: someone unlocked each door and turned on\u00a0every light. I\u00a0felt cold and woke up\u00a0to\u00a0my\u00a0dog\u00a0barking.<\/p>\n

When I got up, I saw that all the lights in the house were on, and every door was open and unlocked. My dog wouldn\u2019t stop barking at anything in the hallway. Terrified, I sat in the shower with my dog and my phone for the rest of the night scared to d3ath.<\/p>\n

Story 7:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u00a0was driving to\u00a0work one morning on\u00a0the highway\u00a0I always take. As\u00a0I\u2019m trucking along, I\u00a0notice that the car ahead of\u00a0me\u00a0has a\u00a0rear passenger, and they seem to\u00a0be\u00a0looking at\u00a0me. Now, mind you, I\u2019m doing about 65\u00a0mph, and while my\u00a0eyesight isn\u2019t bad, it\u00a0also isn\u2019t 20\/20. Regardless, this person seems to\u00a0be\u00a0staring me\u00a0down.<\/p>\n

Initially, I\u00a0don\u2019t pay it\u00a0a\u00a0lot of\u00a0attention, thinking it\u00a0might just be\u00a0a\u00a0kid or\u00a0someone trying to\u00a0get a\u00a0rise out of\u00a0other morning motorists. However, the closer I\u00a0get, I\u00a0notice that the passenger isn\u2019t moving. Closer still, I\u00a0realize what it\u00a0really is\u2014the owner of\u00a0the car has replaced his rear headrest with a\u00a0fully made-up mannequin head\u2026 facing backward.<\/p>\n

I immediately slowed down and put some distance between him and myself, out of fear he might memorize my license plate.<\/p>\n

Story 9:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u00a0was about 15\u00a0and babysitting a\u00a0neighbor girl down the road from my\u00a0parent\u2019s house. The house was older, but\u00a0I never thought it\u00a0was \u201ccreepy.\u201d They also had this awful rat terrier that barked at\u00a0everything\u2014the worst dog ever.<\/p>\n

Once the girl went to\u00a0bed, I\u00a0sat in\u00a0the living room watching TV. The dog started freaking out, but instead of\u00a0barking at\u00a0the door like usual, she began barking at\u00a0the corner of\u00a0the room. Then she would run to\u00a0another room, bark, and come back to\u00a0where\u00a0I was like she was following something.
\nFinally, she stayed in\u00a0the kitchen, barking for a\u00a0solid two minutes.<\/p>\n

Afraid she\u2019d wake the girl\u00a0up, I\u00a0went into the kitchen to\u00a0quiet her down. When I\u00a0walked\u00a0in, I\u00a0froze\u2014every single cabinet door in\u00a0the kitchen was open. All of\u00a0them! I\u00a0grabbed the dog and ran back to\u00a0the living room. After she stopped barking, I\u00a0went back into the kitchen and closed everything. Thankfully, the dad came home soon after.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I refused to babysit there again, and my parents never believed me. I still get freaked out when I think about it.<\/p>\n

Story 10:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My\u00a027\u00a0y.o. wife died unexpectedly and I\u2019ve been raising our 4\u00a0y.o. son alone. I\u00a0still keep her phone by\u00a0my\u00a0bedside. Last night, it\u00a0chimed\u2014there was a\u00a0text: \u2019\u2019Trix, I\u2019ll be\u00a0home in\u00a020\u00a0mins.\u2019\u2019 It\u00a0felt eerie \u2014Trix was her nickname in\u00a0college.\u00a0<\/i>But then\u00a0I fully broke down when\u00a0I saw a\u00a0reply being typed back. It\u00a0said, \u201cI\u00a0miss my\u00a0daughter. I\u00a0can\u2019t stop thinking about her. I\u00a0will not wait any longer. We\u00a0should finalize our plan on\u00a0how to\u00a0bring her from her dad\u2019s house tonight!<\/p>\n

I\u00a0started searching through her phone and froze in\u00a0shock when\u00a0I found her chat history. There were hundreds of\u00a0text messages from the past couple of\u00a0weeks and conversations with this guy we\u00a0both knew from our college days.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0world fell apart, and\u00a0I can\u2019t tell if\u00a0this is\u00a0real or\u00a0if\u00a0someone is\u00a0playing a\u00a0cruel game with\u00a0me. For now, I\u00a0will make sure my\u00a0son sleeps next to\u00a0me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
