30 Hair Raising Stories About What Can Happen When You’re Left All Alone

24. My hot pocket moved on its own

This didn’t happen to me, but my sister. She was home alone and I was out at the mall with a friend. I called her to ask what t-shirt she wanted from the store I was at and she told me she was scared that there was ghost in the house. I asked what happened.

She had put a hot pocket in the microwave and gone into her room to change. While she was changing, she heard the microwave go off signaling that her hot pocket was done. We have a small house, the kitchen and living room are open and connected and her room opens to the living room. She comes out of her room to grab the hot pocket, but instead of it being in the microwave, it was out on the living room coffee table, all warmed up. If that happened to me while I was alone, I would have been out of there so fast.

25. The TV turned on out of nowhere

Everyone in the house I live in (5 others – family members) were out of town for a graduation ceremony for 4 days. I had to work weekend nights. The first night, I just got home from work. It was 11:20pm. Our hallway for the bedrooms is in an L shape. My cousin just moved in to the room next to me. He also just got a brand new smart TV. Anyway, I walked by it and didn’t hear anything. Then as I was getting ready to relax, I heard the TV BLASTING. I knocked, opened the door, and the TV was on, but no one was there. I couldn’t find the remote so I just unplugged the TV. The creepy part is, there was some creepy period piece movie on. I was so freaked out, I just went to work and stayed at a friends house.

26. I followed a shadowy figure

I followed around a shadow person in my friend’s creepy attic thinking it was him, then finding out he was downstairs the whole time.

27. I heard knocking on my windows

Playing Dead Space (For those that don’t know, it’s a very creepy video game), and there was a little tap on my window. I immediately looked over to see if anyone was there, but thought otherwise and assumed it was a tree.

About 10 seconds later, a multitude of knocks on my window sent me into a fetal position the jaws of life couldn’t get me out of. I army crawled myself throughout the house.

Turns out it was some kid down the street that has a habit of breaking in to vehicles and basically saw me and wanted to scare me. Well, congratulations, my friend. You did.
