3 Creepy True Horror Stories that Happened on Christmas

[Music] [Music] [Music] meeting my ex-girlfriends family during the holidays was the worst weekend of my life they lived in a different state than my ex Kayleigh and I we were on Long Island in New York they were all the way up in Vermont our relationship was still kind of new but she seemed to think it was serious enough for her parents to invite the two of us up there for Christmas Kaylee had a really small family so apparently it would be just the two of us her brother and her parents pulling up to the house

was a pleasant surprise the house was beautiful and it stood on a huge well-kept property secluded from any other houses as Kaylee and I got out of my truck our parents came out to the porch to greet us first impressions they seemed friendly and weird an unexplainable type of friendly the father didn't smile but he shook my hands patted me on the back and said it was great to meet me the mother hugged me showing a lot more emotion but something about her face was a bit off-putting she had a really wide smile that seemed

to bed exaggerated the house was as beautiful inside as it was outside it had a wooden Lodge type atmosphere to it a little while later I met Katie's brother Paul who got home from work he was a really socially awkward dude he had a bowl cut and had a whole tattoo sleeve running up his arm we had dinner which was awkward at certain moments but other than that it was kind of normal after dinner we watched a Christmas movie in the living room I tried not to make eye contact but I could tell Paul kept

looking at me for extended periods of time on a few different occasions at one point I finally looked back at him and we locked eyes for like three seconds before he turned back to the TV he was giving me the most judgmental stare I'd ever seen and it made me only more uncomfortable at the end of the night Kayleigh and I were in the guest room which had an attached bathroom Kayleigh was in the bathroom she left her phone on the nightstand I saw she got a text from her mom and for some reason feeling

a bit Snoopy I got up to read it it was not at all what I was expecting and it changed the whole night completely briefly on the screen it said text for mom do you think he suspects anything yet but the message quickly switched to new message I'm guessing because she had iMessage notifications set to hide once the phone locks I wanted to read what was said before that but her phone had a password unfortunately I could actually feel my heart pumping now Kayleigh came back into the room I kind of gave her the cold

shoulder because my mind was racing she seemed to notice she was texting on her phone for a bit before turning out the lamp and going to sleep I couldn't sleep though I was rolling around for hours wondering what that text meant and if it was about me and what the hell was up with her brother it was exactly 2:00 in the morning when I heard Kaylee get out of bed but she was doing so very quietly normally I'd find this to be a kind gesture but under the circumstances I was finding this suspicious now I

didn't move I pretended to still be asleep I heard her come to my side of the bed and stand there for a few moments then leaving the room and walking downstairs then I heard someone else walking downstairs and then another person something was going on I went over to the top of the stairs to listen to what was going on downstairs there was a bunch of talking but in very low voices I walked down a few stairs quietly the talking was coming from the dining room by the stairs it sounded like they were planning something

I heard Kaylee say something like when I go back up you stand by the door then I heard her brother say something but what was going on was really starting to hit me in the face or at least what I think was going on I went back to the room to grab my stuff and leave as I was grabbing the keys I noticed something in the corner of the room I turned the lamp on which exposed Kaylee's dad sitting in a chair in the corner of the room blank expression on his face behind his glasses

staring at me I screamed at least four times you're all crazy as I ran to my car I put the car in drive practically before the car was even fully on and floored it out of that long driveway back to the road I didn't stop once except for guess and at that gas stop I checked my phone and saw Kaley texted me saying what the [ __ ] happened I didn't respond not until later that night when I got home I said I don't know what you and your sick family were planning on doing to

me I don't want to know don't ever contact me or come near me again and I won't report this I said this only because I knew there was no proof at all of what happens or what might have been about to happen she never replied [Music] it was Christmas Eve night one in the morning I was in our den watching TV because I always like to stay up extra late on Christmas Eve to make things more festive and cozy feeling it was during a snowstorm I left the window open and the backyard light on just

so I could also have the view of the snow in the backyard I was focused on the TV at the moment but through my peripheral vision I thought I could briefly see something in the backyard I turned to the window but besides the falling snow there was nothing going on out there still I got up and went to the window just to be sure nothing I sat back down on the couch but now I was constantly checking the window to see if anything was outside about ten minutes later I calmed down and forgot about it

and reverted my full attention back to the movie then I heard loud and clear the backyard gate slams shut now I almost knew someone was back there I slipped on my shoes in the jacket and went out to the backyard to check it out there were food marks in the snow leading from one gate across the yard to the other gate I was not feeling brave enough to follow them so I went back inside as I was taking off my boots and jacket I saw a tract of wet muddy snow on the den carpet leading

from the office to the hallway that led to the living room that was also the way to my parents room first I had to go to the office to see how they broke in so I followed the boot marks to the office without turning on any lights to make my presence known I was expecting to see one of the windows busted open but everything was intact then I realized the boot marks didn't start in this room they ended in this room I slowly lifted my head up to the garage door in the corner of the

room it was open and right under the doorway there was someone in a winter coat jeans and boots squatting down as if trying to hide back facing me but his head turned to look at me I stood there with my mouth open in horror for a few seconds before I ran for it to my parents room screaming the whole way there I got my dad to come out as quickly as possible and on our way to the garage together we heard the actual garage door opening by the time we got there the intruder was gone

realistically we could have followed his boot marks but who knows how far he'd gotten by that point we found out he broke in through an unlocked living room window just goes to show if somebody has intentions of breaking into your house they'll find a way which is why you should always lock all your doors and windows [Music] [Music] on the oldest of four and during the events of the story I was 16 my younger sister was 11 and my two younger brothers were 8 and 7 my parents and their group of friends were a part

of a club that was basically for rich snobby people the club always hosted a Christmas party one night in December each year at a big fancy firehouse of course for all the younger kids like my siblings somebody would always dress up as Santa Claus and hand out the presents that were left in a sack by a chair which had a red blanket over it this year my dad's best friend Michael was dressing up as Santa he was sitting at the same table as us so when the time came for him to leave and get changed

into the Santa suit I saw him get up and walk out the door there were like 20 young kids there they never noticed everyone was having a good time chatting and whatnot kids playing on the floor in the center of the room when the door to the firehouse opens and bells were heard jingling all the kids jumped up yelling Santa and then came Michael in a surprisingly unimpressive Santa costume it honestly looked like the cheapest thing he could find a party City a serious downgrade from last year the hat and beard were all right but

the costume just seemed cheap not the usual costume the club supplied he chuckled and did his best Santa impression I had to say he was doing a really good job of changing his voice though I saw a few of my parents friends whispering to each other Michael grabbed the bag of gifts and said in his best Santa voice he'd be right back with the presents he sounded so different though he walked out the door with a bag of gifts that's when my dad and a couple other guys ran after him yelling hey I still didn't

know what was going on not until my mom told me that wasn't Michael I wanted to feel important I guess so I ran outside to the parking lot as well where I found my dad and two other guys standing there looking around dumbfounded the man dressed as Santa was gone the real thing they were concerned about was where Michael was Michaels car was also missing I asked them if they were sure that wasn't Michael they were all positive though we tried calling Michael but his phone was off we tried his house phone after a while

- which went to voicemail we had to send a search party but we couldn't find him anywhere though eventually my dad and I returned to the firehouse to pick up my mom and siblings just about everyone went home by then I waited outside I heard a scream for help in the distance it came from the woods deep in the woods I ran to the tree line to scream back Michaels name he yelled back help again it was him I was too excited to go back for my dad so I ran into the woods following his

screams for help and I found him tied to a tree in a bloody mess blood was dripping from his forehead down to his face he looked like he'd been beaten by a blunt object I cut the little rope with my key and he struggled to his feet I walked him back to the parking lot and he screamed when he saw his car was gone when Michael left the building planning to get changed into the Santa costume he was jumped by three guys wearing masks one of whom struck him in the forehead with something metal repeatedly

until he was knocked out next thing he knew he woke up tied to a tree in the woods it's sick to think that three or four men could have set up a plan like this involving harming somebody just to steal a bunch of gifts from children some of them pretty expensive and to add insult to injury they stole Michael's fifty thousand dollar car I felt terrible for him and I still do it's not the kind of story that he can just bring up for fun it's still a painful story to tell even for me [Music]
