I have never felt primal fear like I did after hearing that sound.

I grew up in thePine Barrens.
This is all in the second and a half it takes me to take in the whole sound.
I have never felt primal fear like I did after hearing that sound.

I ran harder and faster than I ever had in my life.

I can remember vividly seeing the dust come together in a ghost in the form of my mum.
When I was about 6 we…had our own apartment.
It was winter, and the lights were off in the room but were on in the corridor.
It was the most surreal thing that Ive ever seen and I still vividly remember it.

All the hairs on my body stood up and I literally felt a chill run down my spine.
I quietly turned around, walked down the stairs, got in my car, and drove away.
They lived in a two-story house by the water, nice area.
The kids were about 3 and 6, respectively.
One day I was sitting in their den on my phone when I started to hear a baby crying.
I called for her a couple times with no response.
The baby kept crying.
Then I heard my cousins and aunt playing outside.
All the hairs on my body stood up and I literally felt a chill run down my spine.
I quietly turned around, walked down the stairs, got in my car, and drove away.
The baby was still crying when I closed the door behind me.
A few years later I was drunk at a family party and told my uncle the story.
Hes uber Catholic and had a Mass said for the baby.
He said after that it never happened again.
Still gives me the willies when I talk about it though.

My roommate and I lived in a 100+ yr old farmhouse.
Many strange things happened there, but there is one story I tell the most.
One day we were watching TV in the living room on the main floor.
We both ran upstairs and could not find one thing out of place.

I was surrounded by about eight or nine dogs.
They didnt make a noise but they blocked my path in a half-circle.
They didnt make a noise but they blocked my path in a half-circle.
I was terrified and ran back home and when I looked back they were gone.

I look in and theres no one in the room.
We had a computer room in our house that was at the end of a hallway.
Then it looked like someone walked in front of it and cast a shadow on the wall.
I jumped and then started laughing, Jeez, you scared me.
I look in and theres no one in the room.
I booked it out of there and avoided that bathroom for weeks…

I hear some footsteps walk into the living room then just stop.
Im home alone one day….I hear my laundry room door open and slam closed.
Odd, its only 2 PM and my parents dont get home from work until at least 4.
My sister was at school but maybe she left early.
I hear some footsteps walk into the living room then just stop.
I yell again but no response.
I finish my business up and walk out to see who was home and no one was there.
I kept yelling around the house but there was no answer.
I walked outside and it was just my car in the driveway.
I searched the whole house, looked outside on the patio, side yards etc.
No one was there.
No noises, no sounds, no doors opening.
I eventually got up and went back to my room and never heard anything again.
It would have scared the shit out of me had I not taken care of that problem before hand.

You could pretty much hear everything from this loft since it was so open.
One day my two best friends (guy and a girl) are hanging out in the loft.
We were watching TV and I get up to take a piss.
When I left, they were all up on each other.
When I came back, they were on different ends of the couch.
I just had they had gotten into a fight, so I asked what was up.
Your little sister is home, the dude says.
My face turned sheet white.
I asked them what made them think that.
They said they heard her.
I am sort of freaking out at this point.
No ones here, I say.
We check the house, and Im right.
I always thought Id see her.

When I was about 12 our family moved into a new housenew to us, actually quite old.
It was in our same village but down a different lane.
I was always in bed when I heard them, and so was everyone else.
I knew it wasnt anyone in my family.
Then they would come backsame footsteps, break across the rug, resumed on the other side.
I dont remember ever feeling scared, but I never ever went out to see what it was.
I would fall asleep to the sound, it would go on for a really long time.
It stopped about 3 or 4 weeks after we moved in and I never heard it again.

I was charged by what I believe was a cryptid called a dogman.
I am an outdoorsman, Im very experienced in hunting, camping, hiking, and general survival.
I can elaborate further if you wish.
But during the day the woods always seemed normal, not so creepy, that is until this incident.
So this happened somewhere between 1200-1400.
The closest description is silly, a werewolf or dogman.
Thank you for reading.

The figured touched my fiances shoulder and I could see her life leave her.
She went visibly limp.
My fiance and I used to live in a pretty old building.
It was a super old apartment building, and it just had those vibes…ya know?
It was just creepy all around.
The apartment was tiny and all the people that lived in it were super strange.
There isnt much setup to the story besides that.
We had a few other tales…but this one takes the cake.
We always sleep with our bedroom door closed now no matter what.
It was a normal week night and we were getting ready for bed.
I felt like I woke up, and shortly after realized I was having somewhat of a lucid dream.
I start looking around the room and I see something as Im scanning.
She went visibly limp.
I checked to see if my fiance was still alive, she was.
Twas quite the fright.

Footsteps up on the loft.
I was on the phone with my girlfriend while home alone.
I was sitting in the family room.
Upstairs was a loft that opened to the main area of the house where I was sitting.
Again, I was home alone.
As Im talking to my girlfriend I hear footsteps up on the loft.
I turn and look.
I turn back around and they started again.
I was so fucking scared I just remember covering my face with my blanket.
My eyes panned toward the center of the living room and I saw a ghost-like image of my dad.
(He passed away when I was very young.)
He had on a long white gown, big white wings, and a halo.
He just stood there smiling at me.
I was so fucking scared I just remember covering my face with my blanket.
I dont know how long I laid there, heart beating fast as fuck but eventually I fell asleep.
I had a lot more creepy experiences like that all throughout my life…I still do.
