10 TRUE Creepy Horror Stories from Reddit | Black Screen with Ambient Rain Sounds

this happened quite a few years ago I had an affinity with a particular white substance in the form of lines back then one very cold snowy night around 11:00 p. m. I went for a walk to meet my dealer I'd never been to his place before so he gave me the address to his small twostory apartment building with maybe six units in it upon arrival I noticed several strangers inside after they had hit their pipes two clearly unwashed guys came over to sit at the dining table while I waited for my dealer I've never smoked anything besides weed and cigarettes I was instantly uncomfortable they tried making small talk but I grew increasingly uneasy giving only short vague answers I quickly paid for my stuff grabbed the baggie and got up from the table that's when one the guys offered to walk me home my heart started to sink I politely declined oh I'm okay thanks I don't live that far I said the other guy stood up no really we can walk you home we don't mind we have to get going anyway that's when my instincts finally kicked in I became very aware and very scared I immediately thought I'm fully dressed dressed and ready to go but they still have to put on their coats and shoes if I leave now I'll get a head start and quickly disappear they said something else as I headed for the door but I pretended to take a phone call waved goodbye to my dealer and closed the door behind me I joged down the hallway to the outside door and once I got outside I ran for the street I decided not to take the fast route home because from the building they'd be able to see me I didn't want them knowing even the slightest Direction I lived in if they were really following me the building was at the end of a street so instead of going straight up the hill the way I initially came from I turned right and started jogging I kept glancing back and finally I saw them about a block behind following me the street I needed Stanley Street was across the intersection on my left about another block ahead at a four-way light as I approached the intersection I noticed the cornerhouse on my right there was an older man sitting on his porch smoking I recognized him he was another dealer I'd met only once a few weeks before when my usual guy was dry I choked up as I got to his porch and asked if he remembered me he did and asked what's wrong I quietly told him I think these two guys are following me and asked if I could go inside for a minute until they passed he didn't hesitate we went inside passed his front living room and into the kitchen where I explained what happened he told me not to worry that I was safe there and I could stay as long as I needed to then we heard a knock at the door and I started to panic he went to the door looked through the peeple and yelled just a minute he came back quickly and whispered that he knew the guys and was going to invite them in to have a hit he told me to sneak out through his back door which was beyond the kitchen go to the right of the yard and find the gate this would lead to a side street he instructed me to creep up along the side of his house close to the shrubs and checked the porch to make sure they went inside I followed his plan and when the coast was clear I didn't jog I sprinted up Stanley Street and zigzagged all the way home when I think back now I'm in disbelief at my actions and how foolish I was I thought I was invincible I was far too trusting but I thank God for the man who helped me that night I don't know what those two guys wanted from me but I'm forever grateful I never had to find out so back in 2010 I lived in a real dive of a place with four other guys it was a Triplex the owner had converted into one house the place was just short of being condemned but we were all in our 20s and wanted a party house so it totally worked for us we threw so many parties that we just didn't notice a lot of stuff like when the spare bedroom window was smashed we assumed one of our drunk friends did it by accident anytime food went missing obviously one of our drunk idiot roommates just stole it even though no one ever fed up to it we also had a ridiculous problem with what we assumed were raccoons all the damn time we'd hear scratching and shuffling upon the roof every morning we'd go out and our trash would be all over the place well after about a year of random messes missing food and alcohol and Eerie scratches one of my roommates and I were leaving the house at the same time for work as we step outside the there is a familiar woman in our front yard we've seen her a few times wandering the streets in the neighborhood but never really paid her any attention she's wearing one of my t-shirts and going through our trash can tossing things on the ground she isn't interested in my roommate and I both freeze as we see the woman doing this and she very slowly looks up at us her eyes are totally glassed over and she stares at us with confusion all over her face my eyes go wide as I recognize my t-shirt and I go to open my mouth when she says something that to this day has made me shudder why are you living in my house and that was all I could handle I assure you I am not someone that is ever short on words but this rendered me entirely speechless my roommate and I stared at each other eyes wide we got into our cars and drove the hell away from our own home just to get away from that situation that night when we had all the boys together we told them what had happened and we made the decision to finally investigate the roof turns out we had a flat roof it's not generally the kind of thing you think about most roofs are slanted or have have angles not ours it was just a flat roof like a two-story building got cut in half you just couldn't see the top because it had awning that blocked the flat roof from The View around it so for the first time we climbed up there and discovered someone had been living on our roof many of our missing things were strewn all over it was a makeshift bed spare clothing food rappers water and even books all just sitting there we moved out shortly after that but I have never forgotten the look of that lady staring through me and asking what I was doing living in her house I got a report of a missing husband he told his wife and family of six children that he was going to get his tires changed but he never returned and this was 12 hours ago they had purchased another house in a neighboring community and the relationship with the wife was under pressure so the wife assumed he was staying at the other house and claimed he would never end himself the strange thing about this report though was that he emptied his personal bank account into his wife's this morning as well the wife explained this off saying that they recently had a fight about finances and he agreed that he was bad at money and maybe they should have a joint account that she controls on a hunch I asked his 14-year-old boy if there any areas in the mountains nearby that his father enjoyed going and the son identified a road about 10 m away it was nearing midnight but I decided to drive to the top of this old and abandoned forest service road Road as I drove through the snow and started to climb the road I felt a gut feeling that I would 100% find this guy up there either thinking about or already have ended himself the snow late Gravel Road had some sign of travel but no real indication of how fresh the vehicle tracks could be as I reached the top of the road after an hour of travel I was honestly surprised that I did not find his black truck I spent the drive back down thinking about got feelings and how they are unreliable but that I somehow felt different about this one as I traveled up the road I did notice over a dozen smaller roads branching off but they were not mapped and I'd already spent too much time on a single occurrence in a busy City with two few police officers nonetheless I decided to check a single of the second secondary roads and about 3/4 of the way down I picked a road at random to check and sure enough my headlights lit up the back end of a black truck about 100 yard past the first Corner even if I hadn't memorized the license plate beforehand I wouldn't have had to run it it was clearly his I radioed that I'd found the truck parked my vehicle and traveled the 20 ft to his truck with my heart beating like I was doing it at a Sprint rather than a normal walk what I found inside was a mess of brains and blood caused by a self-inflicted shotgun wound under the chin I will save you from the description there was just something about that gut feeling while traveling this abandoned and quiet Mountain Road followed by a sense of being tricked by that gut feeling then finding out it was true by discovering such a gruesome scene having to wait 3 hours next to his truck waiting for body removal and then to end it all by having to go to the family who was expecting good news to deliver them the worst news possible that makes me feel creeped out to this day this happened yesterday after I finished the night shift at around 3:00 a.

m. I work at a store of a big fast food chain to pay for my University our staff changes frequently because of a lot of students and migrants working at our place so you don't get to know each other very well everybody has their own social life and it is very very rare for co-workers to establish friendships outside working hours still you know the people on your ship and the night shift has particularly few workers one of my co-workers jessier started to get interested in me not that I noticed I am young and dumb like being friendly and important for later having a hard time saying no in December 2019 our store threw a Christmas party at a pug I went and had a great time but I also made plans for later that night because of that I wanted to leave early which made jessier also want to leave early despite the fact he neither needed nor planned it beforehand which made me uncomfortable unfortunately he didn't know how to get to the train station and I did so I couldn't say no and I just let him tag along when we arrived at the train station it came to light there was no train he could take to get home none he did not check beforehand he did not ask me he just wanted to tag along with me really uncomfortable instead of taking the train to the main station he got into my train and only got out when I insisted he changes trains at another big station but oh boy that was not the train of the ti in January 2020 jessier asked me out for coffee and I agreed I thought he just wants friends he doesn't have any and can only rely on his co-workers if something happens I can just NOP out and so I went first it was okayish we mostly talked about work-related stuff because we don't share any hobbies we're not the same age and we don't share the same mother tongue jessier didn't like talking about work and work and nothing more he started talking about how different I was from the other workers how nice of a person I am how good my Charisma is then he asked if we could go get to know each other better I genuinely didn't want to and still don't jessier is not my type neither as a person nor from his looks especially his looks even if I sound superficial while I'm in my early 20s Jasir is at least in his early 30s I have no problem with age gaps a story for another subreddit but I am not attracted to men that dress like teenagers instead of telling jir a straight no I told him I was not interested in having a boyfriend he didn't take that seriously and told me I would change my mind and I told him I wouldn't he again was not really on board with that opinion so I elaborated my opinion three times in German and one time in English to make it very clear he always changes to English if he does not get something or thinks he's misunderstood even if he heard it clearly and just does not like it I mean obviously my opinion is going to change if I explain it in English rather than German we left the conversation with him still not con Ed and me being really not interested in a second meeting he quit soon after and I foolishly assumed I was free but whenever he came to my workplace to place an order he would ask me out to get something to eat and every time I would postpone whatever I'd said the last time because of finals because of travel because of anything I could get my hands on then came the pandemic that hit Germany in March and I didn't see him anymore I blocked him on social media in April and hoped that was the last thing to happen but oh boy that was not the case today I finished my shift at 3:00 a. m.

and left with my female Asian coworker way to catch the next train we take different trains so we decided to wait in the main lobby until I need to go to my platform in that time just Seer appeared he just finished his shift and was on his way home we asked him which train he needed to get and he said he was walking home while the conversation went on I got closer to way to get some space between jir and I we did not grasp how uncomfortable I was in this situation and she just walked away what did jir do well he placed himself between we and I right in my line of vision every fiber in my body felt he barged into my personal space I decided I could not take a private conversation with him and said oh look I need to get to my platform to end it but jir followed me through the main lobby through the train station into the elevator and on to the train I was internally screaming and watch walked through the train until I saw another passenger I sat down in the row of seats next to me and jir followed as if every bit of luck had just left me the other passenger moved seats so I was back to being alone jessier talked and talked and I show clear signs of not wanting to continue the conversation I hoped he would leave before the train departed but he did mind you the train goes in the opposite direction of his house and it's a 1-hour walking distance to my workpl there's no way in hell this man could get anything out of taking that train except following me and continuing the conversation I was freaked out and told him in English he was acting very weird maybe I should have used a different word but English is not my first language and at that point my only thought thoughts were about escaping I could not let him see my station or he could easily find out where I lived I don't live rural but at 3:00 a. m. there's nobody on the streets so him following me home was terrifying I thought about getting off a station earlier but then I would need to get a cab for which I did not have cash on me or that would mean I needed to walk the rest of the way and he could still follow I decided to get up at the next station let him get off the train first and then just stay inside while the doors closed it fortunately worked but only after telling him clearly this was not my station I would not get out and he would not get back in I even held my hand out to stop him from coming back he stayed outside after the conductor shouted at us to let the door close knows so let's rewind he was way older than me but does not get the concept of me not wanting to be in a relationship with him at least whenever he does not like an answer he switches to English because it just might be a misunderstanding he followed me two times onto my train and almost to my home without even thinking about how creepy that behavior is this is one of the most terrifying things that's ever happened to me I'm a teenager and it's just my mom and I in the house with our two dogs this is a story from last winter but I'm posting it on here because it's starting to show up again and my mom even started seeing it again as well last winter it was around I want to say 12:00 a.

m. and like I said I'm a teen so I'm awake at night a lot not doing my own stuff I was by myself and I started hearing some banging in the kitchen like cups falling and stuff like that and this is not mine or my mom's first time with Spirits speaking I grew up in an extremely haunted home and it got so bad we had to move from it I heard the cups and I'm usually not the person to investigate but nothing weird had happened in a while so Paranormal Activity didn't even cross my mind I opened my door and peaked out into the hallway and I see what looks to be my mom standing in the corner of the kitchen I could only see the back of her but what was strange is that she was naked this looked exactly like my mom it had her body figure her hair her Sun Tattoo above her tailbone and everything obviously I was thinking why is my mom standing naked in our kitchen at 12:00 in the morning morning right now and this person or whatever it was was so visible that I literally thought it was my mom it was stood there for a good amount of time not moving at all it was one of the worst Encounters in my life it still freaks me out it wasn't shadowy at all it was the most visible thing I'd ever seen and all the lights in the kitchen and living room were on as well thinking it was my mom I just said the word mom confused on what she was doing and I swear to you from my mom's bedroom next to me that's right across from my room I heard my mom's voice say what from her room with her door cracked the last thing I saw before I launched into my mom's room was the figure turning around I didn't see its face or anything because I B did so fast into my mom's room freaking out so bad I'm usually used to seeing that freaky stuff because like I said I grew up in an old house but this was just so different I was balling in tears freaking out my mom got a crowbar or something from under her bed and went out to see if anything was there and the figure I saw was gone I slept in my mom's bed that night now this is where my mom's story comes in about 2 days later I was still so freaked out by what happened I was still sleeping in my mom's bed she's still freaked out by this story and doesn't ever like to talk about it but she did tell me once it happened it freaked her out so bad she said she woke up in the middle of the night and her bedroom door was cracked and the hallway light was shining in her room a bit which was strange because she shuts the door every night this is where it gets really terrifying she then says that she looked over on my side of the bed and on her left and saw what looked exactly like her again naked it crawled into bed with us on my side on the edge my mom couldn't move and said It felt so real it was facing the opposite side of her towards the wall laying on its side and she couldn't see its face yet she said she could move her hand and she was trying to shake me awake in tears but I wouldn't budge she doesn't remember anything that happened after that but she was scared out of her mind all day once she woke up when I first heard this I thought sleep paralysis but still scary as hell that she saw exactly what I had seen a few nights before looking so real sometime after that we would swear that we would see her for a split two to three seconds standing in random places in the house usually in her doorway or in her room whatever the thing is it doesn't wear any clothes we hadn't seen it since the last winter but now it's back and I don't know if it has anything to do with it being around Christmas because that's where weird stuff started happening where we used to live it would start around October and then would get worse around Christmas but we hadn't seen this lady at our old home my mom thinks that maybe it's her fault because when she was in her 20s in college she did a Ouija board with a couple College friends and had a terrifying experience where it had a connection with her let's just say it got so bad the words no on the board wouldn't burn in the end and all her friends who did it still have weird stuff happening to them but I'm not going to get into her story I'm making this post because yesterday morning my mom and I heard scratching on our carpet from the hallway when we were the only ones home and our two dogs were sitting in their beds 2 ft away from us that same morning my mom proceeds to tell me that she saw the naked lady again but only for a split second because she swear that it looked like her I'm just terrified that I'm going to run into her any minute at night again so what do you guys think it is surprisingly this is one of those stories I forgot about until a few days ago when I was talking to a school friend on call and I got reminded of this she was pretty freaked when I told her and I got recommended to put it here so here I am this happened when I was roughly maybe 7 or 8 so some of the details are fuzzy but I remember it pretty vividly this may seem like unimportant context but my family had just moved to America and we renting the top portion of your regular Suburban House in a pretty safe culdesac I had friends they were triplets about 3 or four houses down they weren't that far at all every day I go hang out with them and around 9 or 10 in the night my older brother who was around 11 or 12 I'd say would make the two-minute walk and come get me and walk me home since I was pretty young one night he came to get me as usual the sun wasn't fully down but it was getting pretty dark we started down the walk is normal when he started casting glances over his shoulder I didn't really notice until he shoved me hard away from the sidewalk and in between two houses each house had a huge fence that separated their backyard aors though and he made me Crouch behind the fence I remember being really scared but more so confused since I had no damn idea what the hell was going on more specifically he was a pretty big prankster once he convinced me my older sister crashed her car into the ocean so I didn't really believe him when he turned and said walk behind the houses I think someone's following us looking back now he was probably trying to keep calm however whatever calm was left in my tiny 8-year-old body was gone the moment I turned around and looked the man had followed us behind the houses and he was just by the edge of a few houses down near a different fence line he had a black hoodie on with a hood up black sweatpants and white sneakers I have pretty bad eyesight now due to some health problems but back then it was crystal clear and I could see with horrifying Clarity that his jaw was hung open it was like he was just standing there with his jaw hung open it was horrifying I think now that I'm older maybe he had some kind of medical condition that affected his jaw or maybe he did crack I don't know but back then I could have sworn to God that I was seeing some kind of demon anyway my brother when he saw me looking and getting ready to freak out told me to just run as fast as I can to our house we booked it neither of us looked back but we were scared out of our minds like I said we only rented the top portion of our house so the bottom with the sliding door in the backyard belonged to some other tenant I don't remember if she was home or not but I remember tugging that thing open and locking it as fast as I could and when I looked up he was there in the yard a little ways away from the door more staring at us my brother and I told my sister and mother immediately my father was away on a work trip but nothing came of it not until the day after we went to go meet my dad at his Warehouse which had a small Livin portion above it where we laced around until he was ready to head home with us around dusk he came up and told us we might have to wait since the police were here he walked us around to the back window of the small area to show us police all around the backyard area of the warehouses there were a few in a line to a white van parked on the grass by the edge of the woods like I said I was pretty young then so I don't remember many details of what actually happened but I do remember my dad who hadn't been told about the day prior telling us they found a man and a woman in the van man the man he said had his mouth hung wide open he seemed really Disturbed telling me about the whole thing and wouldn't answer any more questions about the woman maybe she was dead I've got zero idea I do know if they were arrested on trespassing charges I don't know anything else and I haven't asked about it I doubt he'd remember it's been over a decade and he's pushing 70 but it freaks me out to this day I still can't believe it happened and I don't have any answers for it I talked to my brother briefly about it in hopes he remembered more than I do but all I got was a long tie rate about whatever medical condition the guy probably had for his mouth to be like that my brother is an annoyed medical student now sometimes I think maybe he didn't mean any harm and was just drugged out of his mind but this was like in the world's safest neighborhood and it doesn't explain why or how he showed up at my dad's workplace this happened over a decade ago when I was 12 years old I live in a small town town in Oklahoma and in my neighborhood the houses are fairly spread apart separated by Woods it was a school day so my grandma picked me up from school and brought me home this was the first year that I got dropped off at my house alone before this I would just go to my grandma's house after school I would get dropped off at around 3:00 p. m.

and my parents would be home around 4:30 not that big of a deal today for some reason my dad wasn't going to be home until around 7:00 and my mom her teacher wouldn't be home until around 8:00 p. m. because she had parent teacher conferences at the school this happened in early fall so it wouldn't even be dark until like 8:30 p.

m. I did what I usually did when I got home I ran upstairs got on my Xbox 360 and played Minecraft with my friends today it was just my friend and I set I was playing for about 2 hours when I heard a car door shut in my driveway no one should have been here until like 700 p. m.

my house is set up to where my upstairs has Windows that look over my driveway so with my mic on and controller in hand I went to the window to see who it was maybe my dad got home earlier than I expected I looked outside it was a red truck no one I know drives a red truck the person pulled into the middle of my driveway sideways kind of like he owned the place when I looked out the window I saw a man with a hat wearing a big camo hoodie and jeans it was September so no one should have been wearing a big hoodie and jeans in Oklahoma by the time I looked he was already almost out of view going up my walkway to my front door I thought maybe it was one of my dad's friends or someone my dad hided to do something but he would usually tell me if someone was going to be coming over soon after I hear a knock at the door then another I go to my other window that has a better view of the walkway to my front door I see the guy walking back down the walkway I switch and go back to Looking Through the Windows overlooking my driveway I'm relaying all of this to Seth still with my mic on I tell Seth that he's walking back to his truck now instead he walks past his truck and tries to open like a rush side door at this point my heart sinks I tell Seth that this guy just tried to get into my house mind you it's already brought day like 5:00 p. m. luckily it was locked but we do sometimes forget to lock it after he tried the door he starts walking to my backpack patio I drop my headset and I quietly run down the stairs to see what he's doing I get downstairs and stand between the wall so I'm not visible from the back door or living room windows I stand there and listen I hear him try to open the door then I hear a thud it sounded like he dropped a brick on the ground or something at this point I'm more scared than I've ever been I wanted to call my parents or Grandma but I didn't have a cell phone yet the only phone in the house was in my kitchen I would have to cross my living room to get there and he would be able to see me if I went into there a few seconds after the thud I peaked around the corner and he was gone I run back upstairs and put my headset back on telling said that he had just tried to open the back door as well as I'm telling him this I hear a car door shut this time when I look out the window he had finally gotten into his truck I looked at the truck closer and I noticed the only thing he has in his truck bed was a crowbar and a shovel he sat in his truck for what felt like a few minutes during this time Seth told me to get my iPod and take a picture of his license plate he was parked to where I couldn't see it then he drove backwards out of my driveway and down the road a few minutes after he was confirmed gone I went downstairs to see what the th could have been I get to the back door and see that the doormat was moved both big plant pots had been moved as well he was looking for a key holy we do have a hidden key back there too the key to the back door was under one of the smaller plant pots on a Ledge near the door for not the biggest one that he had checked under I went to the front porch and all of the other pots looked like they'd been moved as well I don't know what I would have done if he was able to find the key or if he just broke in after he left I called my dad and told him what had happened when my dad got home he had a cop come over and I told him what happened I gave the cop a description that guy never came back so this happened to me about 2 years ago when I was 20 I was doing some shopping in town alone I still remember that it was a warm Sunday afternoon people were out with families and it was quite busy in the city center I had some free time so I deced decided on paying my grandma a visit to get to her place you need to take a 20-minute bus ride from where I was so to the story I was waiting for my bus and I noticed this man staring at me he wasn't much older than I was and I still remember he had on a bright yellow hat I usually don't care when someone looks at me this man was staring at me with a sort of anger kind of like I'd done something to him most people at the bus stop were either facing the traffic or looking at the coming buses but not him he had his back to the traffic and was just staring at me I had a weird feeling about him but I saw my bus coming and just hoped he wouldn't get on it except he did I quickly sat in a window seat and luckily for me this old lady sat next to me this old lady was like a shield between the guy and I he stood next to our seat almost to the whole ride except for pacing around oddly a couple of times I was already quite freaked out and was texting my boyfriend at the time throughout it while he hadn't actually done anything to me I just had a really bad gut feeling a few stops before mine the old lady sadly got off the bus the guy's Behavior became even weirder he sat next to me which made me completely tense up I refused to even look at my phone or text anyone in case he saw anything he could use to look me up later I think he sensed me tensing up so he got up and went back to either standing next to my seat or pacing around the bus my stop came and I waited until the last moment to get off the bus sadly he also managed to get off the bus What followed confirmed that he was indeed after me I guess in an attempt to put me off again he ran ahead of me me on the road and kept glancing back him doing so actually gave me the only out from the situation you see if he would have kept walking behind me I would have been forced to a either make a run for the apartment door and hope I was fast enough to close the door before he got there or B run in another Direction and just hope I would have reached any place safely before him I was out of the city center now and there weren't many people around the either to help me so in that split moment I decided to turn around walk in the other direction and dial my mom it's pretty bad but I decided to call my mom in case anything happens to me so she would know who it was I told my mom what happened and she told me to make a run for it down the road there was a small burger place it would have a security guard she told me to run for it and just tell them what was going on so I did I glanced back and saw the guy running after me which almost made me cry luckily I reached the burger place before he caught me from the window I saw him crossing the road I guess him seeing me get into the burger place threw him off I have no idea why he fixated on me or what his plans were if he did catch me I'm not sure I even want to know I'm a 16-year-old male it was 9: or 10 p.
