These stories fromAsk Redditare unexplainable.
And that makes them even MORE terrifying.

It was on full blast when suddenly the music got interrupted and a female voice started talking.
She sounded like a flight attendant, and very politely and calmly stated your greatest wish is to die.
Your greatest wish will come true.
I freaked out and ran from my room to grab an adult.
I listened to that entire album several times and never found anything like that on it.

I got cleaned out about halfway through, so I get up to go to the bathroom.
There isnt a bathroom, though, only an outhouse a short walk away.
Now, this place had a small porch, so there were two doors to actually get out.
I walk out on to the porch, and say hi to my buddy who was having a smoke.
I fire up the outer door and just…stop.
My legs will not walk, I cant even move my arms or head.
I have the sensation of a large hand, fingers spread, pressed against my chest.
My friend asks me whats up, so I tell him.
Something is keeping me here.
Imnot allowed to leave.
I stayed like this, kind of battling the feeling, for a few minutes.
It never goes away.
I finally decide that I dont need to pee that badly and that I want to go back inside.
The hand takes itself off my chest, and I can move.
So I go back.
The people inside ask me how I made it so fast, and I tell them the truth.
They kind of glance at each other like they know something, but never tell me what.
The rest of the night, everyone else is free to use the outhouse.
I dont bother trying again until the sun comes up.
The part that bugs me is that the hand on my chest wasnt meant to frighten me.
I was never in danger from that hand.
It kept me there to keep me safe.
Which only tells me that there was something else out there waiting for me.

Within half an hour, boils had appeared all over my arms, and were still growing.
They were the size of quaters, and about a cm thick.
My mother drove me to the ER, where the doctors were really perplexed.
All they could do was drain the pustules, but never once told me what it was.
I still have the scars to this day.

It had a guest house which wouldve paid for the monthly mortgage if we decided to rent it.
The only problem:One of the upstairs rooms washaunted.
Its hard to explain.
It felt like the room itself was angry or even evil.
At the very least, it didnt want us there.
We did not mention the issue to them, choosing to focus only on the houses good qualities.
Admittedly it didnt hold up very well.
At that point, several(?)
One appears in the photo, though it is not nearly as impressive as the actual sight.
I couldnt believe what I was seeing, as I had never witnessed anything like this before.
As soon as I clicked the button, they disappeared.
Do not show yourself for this photo.
Only seconds after the first photo, the 2nd one had appeared normal.
I ran down the stairs and out the front door.
We are NOT buying this house, I said to my husband, and we left shortly afterwards.

Anyway, I go to bed as normal and fall asleep.
Didnt think anything of it at the time, but looking back its creepy as fuck to me.

Everyone would notice weird things.
We had a seesaw, my mother turned on the light and saw it violently going up and down.
I was in the basement and felt a hand brush down my back.
I jumped and turned and saw no one there.
I convinced myself it was just my shirt moving weird.
As I went up the steps I heard giggling.
They refused to go to the attic.
Our entrance had two sets of doors.
The front doors, then a small room, then the second set of doors.
We came home one day and the door was locked with all 3 bolts.
In other words our completely sealed house was locked from the inside.
Not only that my mothers gold necklace was laying on the table and all the windows were locked.
We removed those locks that same day.
Mastiff was laying next to me while I was watching TV.
Suddenly he jumps up and backs into me.
Hes growling and snarling while staring up the steps.
The other two dogs run in and immediately have their ears go back and their mohawks go up.
This went on for several minutes.
I called my mom from the house phone.
While on the phone I heard what I can only describe as a wail from the the 3rd floor.
Years later, parents are divorced, Im with my dad for the weekend.
I helped him clean the 3rd floor.
We put the toys in a large toy chest from the closet they where in.
While we our brushing our teeth I go pale.
Im hearing something so I shut off the water and ask my dad to listen.
We both are completely quite.
The sound starts again.
its the sound of clink clink but a bit of rhythm to it.

I slept with a light on for the next week.

I experienced a strange series of dreams
Id have some strange dreams when I was a kid.
Once I dreamed that I was at a large amusement park key in place.
It has some rides and some obstacle course things, like a rock wall and a ball pit.
About 6 months later I dreamed about the same place.
Then again 6 months later.
It was always dark outside but there were many lights.
They kept moving stuff around; every time things would be different but it was still the same place.
The place was showing signs of age that were much greater that a year.
It looked like it might have been 15 or 20 years.
Things were beginning to rust.
I had to convince myself that if this place existed that I had never been there awake.
It felt like being lured away from or into something.
There were never any ride attendants, nobody selling tee shirts.
Just people seemingly having fun.
I forgot about it.
A year later I was laying in my bed at my fathers house.
Suddenly I was there again.
I couldnt believe it.
That time it was totally an abandoned amusement park, beyond repair and completely deserted.
Grasses growing through the sidewalks and the buildings being also overrun with vegetation.
Everything rusty and broken.
It was still dark outside and the place was lit up with artificial light, no longer bright.
Old style yellow light bulbs.
All the colorful lights were gone.
Apparently the place had expanded quite a bit before falling into total decline.
There was at least one badly dilapidated concert hall.
When I had dreamed about it before there before there were no indoor concert venue.
Although the creepy factor had increased, I wasnt afraid that time.
If there were ever anything to fear about that place I guess it had fallen into decay as well.
Whatever it was would no longer work.
It was very interesting how I felt about that series of dreams.

I watched as a deer shifted into a grown man
Ive posted about this before.
I always hated that place as there was this unnerving sense about the place.
No bugs buzzing, no birds, nothing at night.
I slept in a bedroom with my little brother, sharing a bed.
He would sleep at one end, I the other, facing the window.
It was actually kinda pretty.
And then I saw it.
The shadow of a deer against the window.
It looked almost like it was pressed against it in profile.
It hadmassiveantlers, and was just standing there.
I stared in silent awe.
And then it changed.
It stared to the side for a moment before striding off with purpose.
I remember being frozen in fear.
It was the sheer sense of wrongness, of power, that made me afraid to draw any attetnion.
I dont think it even knew I was there.
Amusingly, I now live in the woods not too far from there.
But my woods are so different, its like night and day.
Animal life abounds, it gets so noisy at night (So many frogs and foxes).
No sense of something watching.
I want to tell myself it was just me half awake, but I dunno.

In case you didnt know, Gettysburg is known to be totallyhaunted.
My room had a window that faced the graveyard, and I saw all kinds of horrible inexplicable shit.

I was running around the backyard pretending I was an airplane while they hung out inside talking.
When he got over the hole he saw me down the well hanging for my life.

Our dorm was new; it was built the year before we came to school.
Like I said, lights out.
As soon as the noise began, I also heard a voice.
At first, I couldnt understand what the voice was saying.
Not because it was quietit was LOUD.
But the words were unintelligible gobbledygook.
Imagine the Tasmanian devil from Loony Tunesjust speaking total jibberishexcept this voice was very angry.
Eventually, I understood the words COCKSUCKERMOTHERFUCKER and a few more curse words.
The voice and the clanging went on for maybe a total of 10 seconds.
Then everything went silent.
I laid in bed with the covers over my face for what seemed like forever.
Eventually either I or my roomie asked the other if they had heard he voice.
At some point one of us mustered the courage to turn on a light and check out the room.
We thought maybe someone had been playing a prank on us.
To this day I have no idea what that was.

I remember that I had grabbed the sides of the bed to try and stop the motion.
Eventually curling into a ball and refusing to move until morning.

I lost two hours of my life
I lost two hours of my day once.
We were watching the news and it froze.
So either we both slept without realizing it or something weird happened.
I think we crossed into another dimension personally.

He will randomly tell me bits of information about this past life and Im always unsettled by it.
Hes mentioned several times that he misses driving his red sports car on the beach.
We live on the east coast and have never been to California or taken him to a beach.
He described her, told me her name, and talked about how sad it still made him sometimes.

A few months ago, the foxes did the call of their people at the usual time of 2:37am.
They fell silent around 20 minutes later.
This was during August, and they tend to go on for two hours maximum.
10 minutes later, there was one last scream, but this time, it sounded more… human.
You know in the movies where the female lead gets attacked and she screams bloody murder?
Nothing came up, and the police didnt bother with doing an investigation.

I couldnt recognize any common land marks, street names, etc.
I started to really panic.
My husband calmed me down, reminded me that I was safe, etc.
It passed but thinking about it gives me chills still.

Its tough to choose just one.
I never slept well and always had the light on.
It would always start with tapping at my window.
Often I would wake up with my hand aching because I had been tightly gripping the sheet all night.
I tried taking a stand and saying out loud that this is my room and he wasnt welcome here.
Once I was home alone when I was 13 or so.

We were driving in the middle of the night.
Somewhere in New Hampshire I nodded off while my friend was driving.
I brushed it off because were on a highway theres only one direction to go.
We wanted that car to catch up to us it was about a mile back.
The other car stops as well and then turns off its headlights.
Were speeding and the car is keeping up.
We pull off at the next exit and stop at a gas station.

I woke up and went to the bathroom around 3am.
There was no mistaking it this time and theres no doubt its coming from something right behind me.
However, behind me is just a thick wall to the outside.
I finished up as fast as I could, all while my name is still being chanted/whispered behind me.
The sink was directly across from the toilet, and above it there was a mirror.
Ugh, still creeps me out.
Weve had weird experiences in that cottage, but that was by far the worst for me.

I suddenly lost all feeling in my limbs
Elementary school, 3rd grade.
Played a game of tag with my friends.
Climbed up the side of the stairs in front of the schools bowling alley.
I lost all feeling in my legs.
I could feel my heart beating intensely as it was getting harder and harder to breathe.
I couldnt scream or say a word.
I was laying down the marble floor and I remember this kid staring at me.
I reached out with my right arm and I lost feeling in my arm too.
I felt like I was passing out.
I remember a bright white light then nothing.
I remember hearing myself breathe.
Then regaining control of my arms.
Crawled to a spot where I sat myself up.
I just looked at my feet.
I was sweating profusely.
I felt really cold.
All of that happened, it felt like a long time but I think it was just 5 minutes.
I still dont know what happened to me.
I also never saw that kid at school again.
I am extremely paranoid it might happen to me again randomly.
