21 People Share The Creepy (And Completely True) Stories That Will Make You Sleep With The Lights On

Another skinwalker

My Dad kinda had a similar occurence, I told this a few days ago.

This was the early 80s, and my Sister lived in Toronto. One day she decided to come down and see some old friends and visited with our parents (I wasn’t born yet) who live in a rural area (All farm country and forest). She stayed late and left around 9 pm (This was late fall, so it was nearly pitch black) but about 8 miles into the drive back to town, the car she borrowed broke down. Luckily, she broke down in front of a house.

They let her use their phone to call Dad to come pick her up. After he came down, the people let her park the car in the driveway until the next day. It was about 10 pm when they started driving back to my parents (She decided to just stay the night after this), they went through a wooded area. Trees as far as the eye can see on both sides, when suddenly they hear this INCREDIBLY FUCKING LOUD inhuman scream, that was louder than the car, even louder than the fucking radio.

Dad slammed on the brakes and they were like “WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?” when suddenly something appeared on the side of the road, it was a fucking coyote. Only it was about 6 fucking feet tall, and walking upright on its hind legs. It crossed in front of the car and went to the other side of the road and then that same scream happened again, only 10x louder than before, Dad slammed on the accelerator and got the FUCK out of there.

He only told me this once, but the look on his face when he told me it, and knowing the kind of guy he is… I believe him.

Ghost Grandpa, that’s who

My grandpa on my moms side died way before I was born. At the time of his death, my parents had three children.

A night soon after the death of my grandpa, my mom and dad were in their room lying in bed and she was crying to him when she said “who’s going to take Dustin (my oldest brother) fishing now?” Immediately after this happened, they heard a sound of glass breaking come from outside their bedroom door. My dad grabs his shotgun (mericuh) and leaves the bedroom to check things out. When he steps out of his room, he notices a picture frame lying face down on the floor.

This picture frame was supposed to be above the fire place about twenty feet away from his bedroom door. He picks it up, and it’s a picture of my brother and my grandpa fishing.

He put the house up for sale the next day.

I saw a figure on my webcam

Took a picture on my old webcam and there was a black humanoid looking figure standing behind me. It absolutely scared the shit out of me and some other strange occupancies have happened since. I have a black cat and it was walking into the room and then I saw it morph into a shadow of a human in one of the bedrooms, I went in and the cat wasn’t in there. The weirdest which I don’t know to this point if it was real or not is once I went downstairs and all the cabinets were wide open and the front door was open also. I was home alone.

THE cane

When I was a kid I did yard work for this incredibly lovely old couple. They told me that when they moved into their house they had to empty out a few of the rooms and closets of the previous owner’s stuff. After that they heard bumping sounds like someone wandering around the house in the dark. They called the previous owners to ask if the sounds were a normal thing. “Oh, you emptied out the upstairs closet didn’t you? Just put the cane back in the closet so he can see where he is going. Without it he just stumbles around bumping into things and making noise.”

They put the cane back and the noise stopped. They left it in that closet for over thirty years, until they moved out. I was helping them clear the house when I saw this cane. It was a pretty normal wooden cane with a rubber nub on it, but it had these scorch marks on the end like someone used it to poke at a fire. I asked them if this was THE cane. They smiled and nodded.
