13 Of The Creepiest, Most Terrifying Stories You’ve Ever Heard

3. We had literally listened to a woman being murdered.

Me and 3 of my friends (all girls) had the idea of going into one of our favorite camping places which was a forest for a picnic. By the time we got there it was about 7pm, so it was just beginning to get a little dark. We didn’t really care though, anyway. Fast-forward to us driving through the forest trying to find a cool place to have our picnic, when we suddenly get totally bogged in some mud.

Three of us jumped out to try push the car out and my friend’s car starts smoking. We all panic. We step a good 10 meters back from it just in case it explodes or something dramatic.

Anyway, this is when I realize that I couldn’t get reception on my phone, none of us could. The closest road to us is a good 10km away. We all stop to think of how we’re gonna get out of here.

The car stops smoking and it’s getting freezing. At this point it’s about 10pm. We all hop in the car to get warm and decide to stay in the car until the morning. When we’re just about to get in the car we hear a scream, not a scream that you normally hear like when you jump out to scare someone, it was like someone’s in some serious pain kind of scream… All of us freak out, jump in the car and start panicking.. “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!” “SOMEONE’S BEEN HURT??!” “WHAT DO WE DO?!” “CAN WE HELP THEM?”

We all got out the car, grabbed our torches and headed toward where the sound had come from when my phone started vibrating. Somehow I had gotten reception, it was my brother calling and I told him that we were stuck and heard a scream etc. etc. I was crying to him and he left straight away to come pick us up.

The next morning on the news, only a km or two away from where we were bogged, a woman was reported murdered in the forest where we were. Stabbed to death. We had literally listened to a woman being murdered.

To this day I still hear her scream, I can’t get it out of my head.
