Tales from the Funeral home
Most people think Funeral Homes are creepy but I work in a commercial establishment so it’s almost like any other job, just with dead people. Oh and I work nights….I have been at this funeral home for almost two years and we have a few permanent guests hanging around.
“Kenny” is our most mischievous character, usually he just moves things around in the back room making things hard for us to find. We will find supplies on top of our air duct in the back after restocking the room and then not going in there until our end of shift routine. One night something must have upset Kenny because we were embalming and out of no where the top of our garbage bin literally blew off and the lid went flying across the room. We all just looked at each other and slowly left the room.
The scariest night though came around last summer. We work in a secure part of the FH that has a door with push locks on the handle to get in, and vending machines are right outside the door, accompanied by 2 surveillance cameras so we know who is or trying to come in. I was by myself (everyone was out on calls) manning the phones when I heard the vending machine motion sensor go off and the wheels start turning. Then I heard the buttons being pushed… I looked at the video and no one was outside the door. Its stopped after a minute or so and I continued my book. Later on that night I was alone again and I was doing some cleaning up… the same routine started again. Machine and button pushing, this time I was closer to the door and I asked “Who’s there?” the buttons continued and I asked again, this time the buttons stopped and I heard a knock come from INSIDE the locked, one door vault (where the cremains are stored). Boy I hot-tailed it to the desk and called my supervisor. While on the phone with her the button pushing continued (again with no one on video)and I told her that Kenny was trying to get me and to hurry back!
“Keep the Christmas Lights on at all Times!”
We decorate for the Holidays and put up a tree and lights to make the FH look festive. But we always have to keep the Christmas lights on for the little girl ghost. No one has seen her but we can all hear her giggling through the halls around Christmas and the lights are up. If we turn them off we can hear a little girl crying all night until someone turns them on or if we are busy, then seem to come on by themselves.
The most recent sighting of ghostly activity was a few nights ago. I was embalming by myself when I heard the button door open and close like someone came in, I didnt hear anything for a few minutes so I asked if it was one of my co-workers. No response, so I leaned over the embalming table and saw 2 red wheels roll into the darkness near the Vault. I thought it might be one of the older ladies (who use walkers) come in to get cremains. I carried on for a few minutes but didn’t hear the door again so I walked over the the vault area and no one was there. In fact, there was even a dressing table with a body in front of it. There was no way anyone could have gotten in there.
There are more stories but I thought this was long enough…
Anyway, love your blog and hope to keep getting freaked out by it! :)

Vanderlip Mansion
So I’ll start my story with a little background information on about the Vanderlip Mansion. In Rancho Palos Verdes, California here is a big private gated community. At the top of the hill the community is on, there is a huge mansion that was owned by the man who created the town of Palos Verdes. Ubran legends say that the house is very haunted along with the area it’s located on.
Me and a group of friends decided to check it out one night. We couldn’t go through the front of the mansion because we needed a code to get through the gate, so we went through the very back. The back of the mansion is very big, it’s sort of like a canyon/valley. People go on hikes down there in the daytime. Anyway, we saw that we could either hike down or go down a flight of stairs that we saw on the opposite side. We had to hop over a fence onto someone’s property (we were trespassing I know) and continued down the stairs. It was a group of 6 people with us but 2 of our friends stayed in the car because they were too scared to tag along. So the 4 of us started walking, it must have been a 100 flight of stairs down to the path that lead up to the backyard of the house. We heard people behind us and it was 2 guys. I turned around and saw that one was wearing a gray hoodie and the other was wearing a black one. I really couldn’t see their faces at all because it was dark and they had their hoods on. I ignored them and kept walking. I turned around again, and they were gone. Just gone. They couldn’t have ran all the way up the stairs or hide behind anything because their were no bushes around us. I was freaked out. Our friend Blake, decided to go ahead and check out what was in front of us. We stopped and waited for him. He was coming running to us screaming that he saw 2 dogs, the dogs had red eyes and that they were both barking at him but no sound was coming out of their vocal cords. At that point we decided to just leave. So we went back up the flight of stairs and back to the car
When we got to the car, our friend couldn’t find her keys. And she wasn’t going to go back down there and look for them. We called the towing company and her car was towed away. The next day, me and my 2 friends went back to look for her car keys. They were hanging from the “No Trespassing” sign that was next to the fence we jumped.

the old woman in my room
While staying in my grandparents house in Mexico, I was given the room closest to the front door. It was a pretty large room, with a divider in the middle, so that it had a bedroom, and a “sitting room.” The reason it was so large, is that when my grandfather bought the house and the land attached to it, it was the only room in the house. Where the bed stood, there was once a kitchen.
Keeping that in mind, I slept there quite soundly, until one night, I dreamt about myself sleeping. It was almost like an out of body experience. But I noticed I wasn’t alone.
In the corner of the room stood a middle aged woman. Her hair was dark brown, parted in the middle, and pulled back into a tight bun. Her eyes were brown, she had a small nose, her skin a bit on the lighter side, and she wore a shawl and long skirt. I couldn’t see her feet. She spoke to me, yet never moved her mouth. (She also spoke in spanish but im translating here) She said something like, ‘This room belongs to me, and I have always been here. I always will be here. I protect it.’
She pointed to my sleeping body, and the woven bracelets I bought recently. As long as you wear those, she said, you will also be protected. (safe, so to speak) I know I spoke back to her, but when I woke up, I didn’t think too much of it. Going to breakfast at my aunts house that morning, I told her of my dream. She was shocked to say the least.
She told me that before my grandfather bought that land, an old woman used to live there, they had known her, and she was exactly as I described her. Her ghost haunted the house, and she was often seen leaving it in the middle of the night. People would often mistake the ghost with my grandmother, who is bedridden and can’t get up without help.
The only reason I’m submitting this just now, is because my father told me about when they added rooms to grandfather’s house. As they dug up the land behind that one room, they found a body of an old woman.

Crybaby Bridge
Last night we all went to Crybaby Bridge. It’s a local bridge, and there has been reportings of ghosts there. Well, at first we didn’t really give a fuck and we were all just fucking around. Then, we started really paying attention and listening. We heard footsteps in the woods, and a baby screaming. There are no houses around the area. There were also cold spots on the bridge. At one point, I felt something squeezing my hand. We took a recording on Taylor’s mom’s phone. After we said “Just scream and tell us where you are. And, we will help you.” We heard nothing while we were there. When we got home, we listened to the recording. At that part, you heard a voice, that didn’t sound like anyone’s there say “Over here.”
That shit was so fucking scary. In the author recordings, you hear the SAME VOICE ask for help.
I usually don’t believe in this kind of stuff, but I swear on everything it happened. As we were starting to leave, once you crossed over the bridge, the temperature would change. Something popped against the metal railing, and it was ice cold surrounding the area. Once we started to walk off, I felt something tap me on the shoulder, and try to pull me back. Once we got to the truck I felt this wave of like energy coming towards us, and I made everyone slam the doors and take off.
Fuck Yeah Nightmares Answered: Woah. I would have love if you send me the recording ):, but its quite scary none the less. 8/10 for scares and thanks for sharing.

This is a story my dad told me, and he experienced it. It’s 100% true.
When my dad was young, they hadn’t made toys who were able to speak or move yet. Just pretty little glass dolls. My dad had seen them, so he knew all about them. Well, one day he went to stay the night at his friend’s house. His friend had a younger sister that was 7 and loved dolls so naturally she had a collection. It was late at night, probably one in the morning. They had sent his friend’s sister to bed by then when they looked in the doorway and saw her standing there. They told her to get to bed, when she said “But I’m not tired.” It was in a clear high-pitched voice. His friend got angry and lightly pushed her towards her room when she fell. What they discovered, was that it wasn’t his sister at all. It was a huge life-size china faced doll. One that couldn’t speak or move. They were so shocked they ran out of the house, and to this day my dad refuses to get near a doll.

Okay guys I was doing a little research when this story was submitted to me. It reminded me of this game. Called ‘The Pencil Game.’
The Pencil Game can only be played with two people. You need six unsharpened pencils.
Step 1: Each person takes three pencils and arranges them to form three sides of a square (as in the picture above). The ends of your pencils should be touching. You should be holding the pencils at the sharpened tip.
Step 2: Both of you say the following chant twice: “Charlie, Charlie, can we play?”
If the pencils move inwards, the answer is Yes.
If the pencils move outwards, the answer is No.
If one side moves inwards and the other moves outwards, it means Maybe, or that the question cannot be answered. Also, up means Yes and down means No.
Step 3: You ask the spirit of Charlie Yes or No questions. He will indicate his answer by moving the pencils.
To end the game, you both must chant “Charlie, Charlie, can we stop?” When the pencils move inwards or upwards, you drop them to the floor and say “Goodbye” to break contact.
Experiences with the Pencil Game:
“When I was younger, we used to play a game called Six Pencils… They truly moved! It was crazy. They answered questions that nobody could have known. My Mom told me it was demons we were talking to, so I stopped.”
“My friends played the Pencil Game and they got in contact with a ghost named Charlie that had died of child abuse. But things soon went bad. One of my friends saw a dark figure on her roof when she was home alone. Another heard scratching on her bathroom door and dark laughing. Another felt her blanket on her bed being pulled down when she was sleeping and then she also heard laughing. Another saw a dark shape hanging from her roof. All of these things happened when they were alone. Soon they got scared and stopped playing the game and put up crosses in their rooms and never went near that stuff again and it all stopped.”
“The game “Charlie, Charlie” was a big thing at my school, and I came home and played it with my Mom. My Mom and Dad got all mad and said that the game was just like the ouija board. supposedly it’s a call to the devil… No offense, but it’s scary… I started hearing things around my house after I played it”
There are no reports of anyone dying or being possessed by demons after playing the Pencil Game so it is considered quite safe. However, we still advise you not to play it, just in case.

My sister and I share a room. So one time a few years ago I dreamt that my parents got a divorce. When I got up I saw my sister sitting in front of the closet, with her back facing me, folding her clothes and piling them up and when I asked her why she was doing that she said she was packing for her new room. I ignored that and went to have breakfast, and when I went back I asked her what that was about and she said she had been studying in the living room all morning.
It’s not very scary but it creeped me out big time.
