At times, real life can feel like something out of a scary movie.
The people in these stories experienced moments so bizarre, unsettling, or unbelievable, they could hardly accept they were real.
From strange noises in the dark to inexplicable sights, these 14 true stories will make you reconsider turning off the lights.
Story 1
I woke up at 2 a.m. to drink water. The TV was on. I heard my daughter asking, “Daddy, can you get me a blanket?”
Half-asleep, I took one and tossed it on the couch.
As I returned to bed, it hit me—my daughter was at a sleepover.
I ran back and froze when I saw the couch empty. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a loud voice coming from the TV, confirming it was indeed on. I rushed to wake my wife and told her what happened. She reminded me our daughter was gone and admitted she’d forgotten to turn off the TV.
It all made sense later… but the memory of that voice in the dark still sends chills down my spine.
Story 2
I was six, playing in my room, when my grandpa walked in. He chatted with me for a few minutes, kissed my forehead, and said, “Be a good girl for Mom.” Then he left.
A few minutes later, Mom burst into the room crying. My grandpa had passed away overnight—two states away.
Story 3
When I still lived at my parents’ house, a small sign with my name had been glued to my bedroom door for years.
The night before moving out, it suddenly fell off—on its own—in the middle of the night.
No one touched the door. No wind. Just the sound of it hitting the floor, as if the house itself knew I was leaving.
Story 4
One night, while our parents were out, I heard a music box playing. My sister and I huddled together, terrified, until it stopped around 5 a.m.
When we finally looked, we found an old music box in the trash bin outside. It looked ancient.
Over the next few nights, it kept playing. I opened it to take out the batteries—there were none.

Story 5
When I was a kid, I came home from school and found the house empty, which was normal.
The moment I stepped in, the radio suddenly blasted at full volume. I screamed and ran outside.
When I gathered courage and went back in, the radio was off. Completely silent.
I still think about it to this day.

Story 6
A friend and I were walking home from a late movie when we saw a man ahead of us wearing an old-fashioned hat. He turned down a narrow alley, and since that was our route too, we followed—only to find the alley completely empty.
No doors, no exits, no sound. Just the lingering scent of pipe smoke.
We laughed it off at the time, but a week later, I saw an old photo in the local newspaper archives—same hat, same face. The man had died there in 1947

Story 7
I was visiting my grandfather’s grave for the first time when a golden retriever appeared out of nowhere. He sat beside me quietly, resting his head on my knee.
As I got up to leave, I turned around—and he was gone.
I know it was probably just a dog, but I still like to think my grandfather came to say goodbye.

Story 8
I was around ten and secretly playing my Nintendo DS under the covers when a deep male voice in my head said, “Go to sleep.”
I froze. The door never opened, no footsteps, no whisper—just that voice.
I shut the game off and immediately passed out.
To this day, I have no idea who or what that was.
Story 9
My boyfriend told me that when he was little, he used to hear whispers from one particular room in his house.
One night, he went inside to prove it was all in his head—then something hit him so hard he blacked out.
When he woke, there was a red mark across his back shaped like claws.
It never faded.

Story 10
My ex and I were chatting in our bedroom one night. The bathroom sink, right across from the bed, suddenly turned on by itself.
I’m a plumber. Faucets don’t do that—ever—without someone moving the handle.
To this day, I can’t explain it.
