26 People Share Insane Stories About The Scariest Shit They’ve Ever Seen

18. I found my friend bleeding out on the floor

Scariest thing I’ve ever seen was when I walked into my friends room and found him laying on the ground with his throat and wrists cut. There wasn’t much I could do I thought he was dead. I started CPR because I could not feel pulses. In my moment of panic I did not check for a carotid pulse. He was still alive but barely. By this time the ambulance had gotten there and after securing an iv they started loading him up with saline as he was in hemorrhagic shock. I don’t know why this part scared me but he opened his eyes and said thank you. It turns out he missed the major arteries in his wrists and did not cut through his trachea. He’s still alive today and I’ll never forget the “thank you” from a man I could have sworn was dead 5 minutes prior.

19. We saw a ghost while we were fooling around

Girl and I were on a balcony smoking a cigarette during a night of drinking. I lived on a hill, so across the street was just the hillside and a sidewalk. On that sidewalk was one lone streetlight. We were kinda drunkenly smoking and fooling around a bit.

Mid-embrace we happened to look over and see someone standing directly underneath the streetlight not moving an inch. It was a decent distance away so I couldn’t see many details, but they were definitely looking in our direction. This is deep in a neighborhood where no one is walking around because of the hills. There is no one else around and our cackling was the only sound anyone outside would hear.

We kinda laugh about it thinking the person was just walking and stopped for a second. We look back over a moment later and the person is still just standing there motionless. At this point my creep-factor went off and I started to feel anxious. I stared back but the person was unwavering.

We sort of moved away from the light of my balcony and hid for a minute. We went back into the light and no one was there any more. I tried looking up and down the street and couldn’t see anyone (there were no cars parked on that side of the street either).

Not saying it was a ghost. But I don’t know what it was and it was easily the most creepy thing to happen to me.
