I woke up at 3 a.m. to get water. I heard my son’s voice from his room, saying, “Mom, can you turn off the light?” I didn’t think twice—I switched it off. As I got back into bed, it hit me… my son
wasn’t home; he had gone camping. I ran to his room and froze when I saw it was empty. I was 100% sure I heard my son’s voice—or at least someone talking to me in a sleepy tone. When I told my husband, he laughed it off, saying it was probably in my head, but I swear the voice was real. That moment still creeps me out.
This just happened a week ago. In my bedroom, there’s a small hallway that leads to the master bath. I had woken up in the middle of the night and was still in that twilight zone between sleep and awake. I looked down that dark hall and clear as day was a little kid. The kid turned and looked at me and got one of those huge horror movie evil smiles on its face and then started running at me. I actually jumped out of bed and screamed. It was gone. I woke up my cat, and she looked at me like I was crazy. It took a while to go back to sleep after that. HumpieDouglas/ Reddit
My mom doesn’t like driving on the highway so when I was a teenager we’d take the back way when visiting my grandparents. There was one town we’d always pass through that gave us the creeps. It was very small, no grocery store, no gas station, just some houses, a church, and a community centre that was weirdly nowhere near the rest of the town. A lot of main roads went near it, but not through it, it was the kind of place that most people didn’t pass though. We never saw anyone on the street, occasionally you’d see a shadowy figure peeking out from a porch but that was it. There was a huge park with a nice looking playground that we never saw a single child at. If vampires were real, this is definitely where they’d live. Once me and my mom decided to drive down a side street in this town just to see what was there. We came across a car repair shop which was weird because we never saw any cars there and as soon as we approached, this guy came out. His face was not the shape of a normal human face, it was kind of lumpy. Obviously some people have facial deformities, nothing scary about that but there was something so unsettling about this guy, he stormed out and then just stopped and stared at us with the angriest look I’ve ever seen. It didn’t help that this was the only human we’d ever seen outside in a town we’d driven through dozens of times. We quickly noped out of there and never explored that side street again. ihopeyoulikeapples/ Reddit
