“Long story short this man had been getting into their home via a doggy door.”
Went about her business having dinner, watching tv then decided to go to bed.
She was lying in her bed with her back to her closet when she heard the door open.

She immediately called her boyfriend to ask him to come over then called her parents and then the police.
They found a ton of surveillance footage of her sleeping and pieces of her clothes and stuff.
If I recall correctly this happened somewhere in Alabama, most likely mid-2000s.
I mentioned it to my wife and my daughter said noooo, dont go daddy!
Of course I cant resist that so I stayed home and we had a good night.
My friend however, had the worst night of his life.
Turns out the stranger had been smoking PCP and decided to start killing people.
He took a butcher knife and slashed three peoples throats.
All three people died.
The police found the guy walking down the side of the road covered in blood and incoherent.
He had no idea what he just did.
The five friends watched TV and eventually retired to their various bedrooms.
HG was woken from her sleep shortly after by loud voices and the bedroom door being kicked open.

Shasta Groene
The murder of the Groene family.
He was incredibly charming and manipulative, and was truly pure evil.
He camped outside a familys rural home, unseen by them.
He picked it out after driving past it and seeing childrens toys outside.
He put Shasta and Dylan in his car and killed the rest of the family with a hammer.
He eventually shot Dylan but Shasta talked him out of killing her.
I dont know if she ever did.
Jed was put on death row and found to be guilty of three previous child murders.
He died a few months ago from cancer.
But the worst part of it all is how horrible Shastas life has been afterwards.
Drug addiction, in and out of jail, losing her children etc.
Just the most horrifying story ever.
He got back home after a tour of duty to find his wife and two kids dead.
They lived in a remote location.
Not exactly a ghost story, but as a parent that scares the shit out of me.
They were dumping all sorts of medicine into it and it wasnt getting any better.
It was a painful maneuver for her very swollen eyelid, which might explain it.
This wasnt an abscess, it was something else.
I managed to remove it quite easily in one whole piece.
It was a fly larva.
Yes, I do have the photos from this case for those interested.

Natural disasters
The story of TheLake Nyos Disaster.
The lake periodically belches a cloud of invisible carbon dioxide gas that suffocates everything within a 16 mile radius.
In 1986, over 1700 people and all their livestock died without even understanding what was happening to them.

The body in the barrel
The Reyna Marroquin story.
A young lady had an affair with her boss in the 1960s, got pregnant.
The ladys mother was in her late 80s when she was told her missing daughter was finally found.
One summer we could smell something gross coming from one of the houses.
We all didnt think anything of it until three days later when the smell was reaching down the driveway.
We went to the back door where he normally dropped the paper and noticed it was open.
We went in and looked around the house and found the owner dead.
He had died of a heart attack and his cats were eating him.
My mother was of his second marriage.
His cause of death was freezing, but something was off.
Turns out, he had been attacked by a tiger.
Poor dude lived 3 days after the attack, crawling around in the snow.
This means they were trapped in there for 16 days.
That was the last time she ever heard from him.
It was carbon monoxide posioning.
It is so scary to think how fast your life can change.

The creepy chair man
Then one night he followed one of the women home.
He sneaked into their living room and then wait for them to enter the room.
Hed then jump out and surprise them.
Hed yell, I knew you took my chair!
And hed scream and chase them.
This happened over the course of 5 years.
The local police never did anything because he was brothers with the sheriff.
Women couldnt buy furniture by themselves.
They had to start bringing chaperones.

Candyman
The story that inspired Candyman is pretty creepy.
A woman in a Chicago apartment was murdered by some drug dealer who lived next-door.
How did he get into her apartment?
Through a hole behind her bathroom cabinet/mirror.
They moved on to torturing animals.
Not long after that they just started murdering strangers.
They killed a bunch of people by bashing the shit out of them with household tools for no reason.
Knowing there are people like that in the world is terrifying.
People who will just murder complete strangers just for their own entertainment.
Her parents immediately notified authorities, and started a social media campaign to find Paulette.
Paulettes room was searched multiple times and used by her parents to do media interviews.
Heres the terrifying part: Paulette was found dead 10 days later… She had wedged herself between the mattress and the footboard and suffocated.Hereis her bed before they found her.
Its insane looking at that picture and knowing she is there and no one had found her.

Oceanic predators
Marine biologists attached a tag to a 9-foot long Great White Shark.
The machine measured temperature and depth, to monitor the sharks movements.
The tag was later found washed up on a beach.
The ambient temperature surrounding the tag spiked from 46F to 78F (8C to 26C).
The data suggested an attack.
Apparently he broke into the cabin I was staying in and stole stuff from some people in my Cabin.
He took primarily cash and a phone that kids had on them.
I saw him there but I was so young I didnt think much of it.
Apparently they couldnt find him because of the gloves he wore and his full body costume.
That dude was weird and it was terrifying as an 11 year old.

The Nutty Putty Cave Incident

Alison Botha
Alison Botha.
There is a documentary that is on Amazon Prime called, Alison.
The actual murderer, John Christie, was a prosecution witness at Evans trial.
After Evans was executed, Christie went on to kill four more people.
They hunted a polar bear and ate the insides of it.
Noone at the time knew about how deathly a polar bears liver was.
A lot of them are completely unmapped.
They entered an area and heard dogs barking and snarling.
They continued going and saw there were speakers mounted on the wall, playing prerecorded dog sounds and cameras.
They came into this huge opening and found a cinema.
It was lavishly decorated.
It had projectors and a mix of old and new movies.
It even had electricity running and three phone lines.
The police marked where they were and went back outside.
The next day the returned to try and investigate further with more experienced officers.
All the wiring had been ripped out, all the furniture was gone.
All that remained was a note that said Do not take a stab at find us.
As far as I know, they never figured out who was there.
