13 People Whose Misfortunes Could Fill a Best-Selling Horror

You don’t have to look for creepy tales to feel uneasy; sometimes life gives its own chills. While some eerie incidents may be explained, others defy logic and make you wonder if what you witnessed was real. The unnerving moments we’ve gathered will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading.

Story 1:

My father had a heart atta:ck, and I rushed to the hospital at 2 a.m. They wouldn’t let me into the ICU, but hours later, a kind nurse let me see him. Months later, my father called, urging me to turn on the news. Turns out that the nurse wasn’t a nurse at all.

She had been arrested for pretending to be one, and some patients had even worsened under her care. Investigators found out she had a serious mental condition, and although she attended nursing school, she never graduated. Years later, she somehow managed to infiltrate a hospital and deceive everyone. Thankfully, she was caught, and I’m relieved she never treated my father directly.

Story 2:

I was playing the game FEAR in my room at night with the lights out when I turned around and saw what looked like the girl from the game standing there, watching me play. It turned out to be someone visiting my roommates who, for some reason, had let themselves into my room and watched me play for who knows how long before I noticed. © Unknown author / Reddit

Story 3: 

I went to the bathroom one night and heard scrabbling from behind the wall of my shower. It sounded too big to be a mouse… more like an oversized rat or something.

I thought I was hearing things, but when I went back to my room, I could still hear it. I peeked out the window, and there was nothing outside clinging to the side paneling or anything. It wasn’t the upstairs neighbors doing anything, either.

To this day, I have no idea what it was. But it was terrifying as someone who lived alone.

Story 5: 

I was playing with blocks with my son. He was spelling words with the letter blocks. His sister, who was only about two at the time, wanted to join in. She quickly lined up four blocks, and I was horrified to see that she had spelled the word ’’evil’’. © Particular_Ad8156 / Reddit

Story 6: 

In college, I used to sneak into the campus theater at night and play the piano, which was next to the stage. One night, I had been playing for 30 minutes when I heard a loud cra:sh coming from behind the curtains. It startled me, but I thought maybe the props were haphazardly stacked and had fallen, so I went right back to playing. A few minutes later, I felt something tap my shoulder and blow into my ear. I jumped up and ran back to my dorm room across campus.

Story 7: 

A couple of weeks ago, I was abroad and using a dating app to meet people, get recommendations, etc. A guy started messaging me, and we talked a bit, discussing maybe meeting up. The next day, I was in line for a tourist attraction and received a message that was a picture of me in line! Turns out he worked at the attraction, but it was still very creepy to receive a picture of yourself. © PuzzleheadedShow5680 / Reddit

Story 9: 

I worked in an old hospital late at night and noticed the elevator doors open behind me. I then heard the clip-clop of hard-soled shoes take a few steps my way. When I turned around, no one was there. A linen cart sat across the hallway, so I thought this person was hiding behind it. I knelt and looked underneath, only to see two shiny, old-fashioned, pointy nurse’s shoes pointed my way. I eased my way around the cart to scare the person who was trying to scare me, but no one was there. I looked down and could no longer see what I thought were shoes.

Story 10: 

I was on a hike, and my dog suddenly froze up and basically dragged me back to our camper. When we got back, I heard a pack of wolves howling VERY close to our site. I feel like if we were still out on the trail, they would have found us pretty easily. © To_Fight_The_Night / Reddit

Story 11: 

I was under 5 years old when I used to see a man sitting in the corner of my room. He had blue eyes and was quiet; all he ever did was look over me. He was kind and felt like a guardian angel or something. Then one night, he wasn’t there anymore, and I remember hearing voices in my closet telling me to stay away. It felt… wrong. I felt stuck to my bed and couldn’t sleep because I felt something standing over me that didn’t belong there. I couldn’t see it, but I could feel it. I made my mom sleep next to me for weeks after that. © bahumbug_ / Reddit

Story 12: 
Story 13: 

I was working at that time, and my workstation was close to the window. My sister was calling me from outside. She was mumbling, so I didn’t hear what she said, so I asked why she was outside. Still crying, she asked me to open the door. As I was about to go outside my room, ready to open our house’s door, my sister came out of her room.

The one who called out to me was not my sister. © FailureSpecialiste / Reddit

Hilarious Joke about Husband and Wife Relationships

The relationship with the in-laws can be a challenging one. The truth is that things turn even messier when the spouse sides with his parents instead with his significant other, and these ‘issues’ don’t necessarily get easier to deal with as time passes. A woman named Evelyn took to Reddit to ask if she was in the wrong for revealing to everyone on the social media about the treatment she received by her in-laws during a visit prior to the holiday. Here’s her story I’m Evelyn, and if you think your holiday was rough, you might want to hear this one. Imagine a cozy family Christmas with two adorable newborns. Now, imagine all of that going completely wrong. Let me set the stage for you: twins, a creepy barn, and in-laws who somehow managed to make me feel more like the hired help than part of the family. It all started innocently enough. My husband, Mike, and I had been married for two years, and this Christmas was a big one—it was our twins’ first. Naturally, Mike’s parents invited us to stay at their house for two weeks. “It’ll be wonderful!” his mother had gushed over the phone. “We can finally meet our grandchildren!” Of course, I was excited. Who wouldn’t be? I imagined two blissful weeks of rest, with Mike’s parents helping out with the babies, maybe even giving us a few precious hours of sleep. I had packed everything with care; enough clothes for the twins, snacks for the plane, even a jar of wildflower honey for my mother-in-law because she’s obsessed with it in her tea. I was ready for the perfect family reunion. But when we arrived… well, let’s just say things didn’t go as planned. For illustration purposes only Mike knocked on the door, and his mom opened it, her eyes lighting up as she spotted the twins. “Oh, look at them! They’re so precious!” she cooed. The moment we stepped inside, my inlaws practically pounced, sweeping the babies up, smothering them with kisses, and cooing over their every little movement. And honestly, that part made me happy. That’s what every mother wants, right? To see her children loved, adored, cherished. But then, things started to get strange. The more time passed, the more it became clear that this wasn’t the warm, family-filled Christmas I had imagined. After we settled in, my father-in-law handed Mike a glass of wine, while his mom beamed, holding one of the twins. “Oh, Evelyn, we’ve set up your room,” she said, her voice a little too cheerful. “Oh great, where are we staying?” I asked, expecting the guest room or something nearby. “Well, Mike will be in his old room,” she said, avoiding my gaze. I blinked. “And… where will I be?” She hesitated. “We thought you might appreciate some space. You’ll be in the barn.” I laughed, thinking it was a joke. “Wait, the barn? As in… an actual barn?” “Yes, dear. It’s been converted. There’s a heater out there. It’s really quite cozy,” she said, nodding as if that explained everything. For illustration purposes only “Cozy? You want me to sleep in the barn? Away from my husband? Away from my kids?” I could feel my voice rising, but I tried to keep calm. Maybe there was some weird reasoning behind this. Mike, standing behind his mom, shrugged. “It’s not a big deal, Ev. You’re making this into something it’s not.” “Not a big deal? Mike, it’s a barn. With a bed and a space heater. It smells like hay and… I don’t even know what!” My stomach tightened just thinking about it. “Why would I be out there, while you’re in the house?” He sighed, taking a sip of his wine. “You’re overreacting. The house is full, and my old room barely fits one person. Plus, the twins need quiet. It’s just for a couple of nights.” I stared at him, disbelief washing over me. “Mike, we’re married. We have children. What kind of twisted logic is this?” He rolled his eyes, already done with the conversation. “What are you complaining about? The barn has a bed, doesn’t it? It’s not like you’re roughing it in a tent.” “You can’t be serious,” I said, my voice shaking. “I just had twins. I thought we’d be together for Christmas, not… separated like teenagers on some church retreat.” Mike shrugged again as if it was no big deal. “It’s fine. Stop making this into a thing.” I looked back at the barn, cold dread settling in. This was going to be a long two weeks. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Wait, where are the twins supposed to sleep?” I asked, my voice tight. I glanced at the barn again, panic rising. There was no way I could fit both babies in a single bed with me, and certainly not in a freezing barn that smelled like hay and dust. Mike’s mother smiled politely as if she were about to tell me something wonderful. “Oh, we’ve set up a crib for them in our room
