When I was younger, we used to have these clown dolls around that sat on metal circles, kind of like a swingset, which were supposed to hang on walls and the like. I don’t know where they came from, but they were handmade from yarn, styrofoam and plastic, with felt for their little top hats. They had smiles similar to comedy masks.
Edinburgh Castle is reputed to be one of the most haunted spots in Scotland. And Edinburgh itself has been called the most haunted city in all of Europe. On various occasions, visitors to the castle have reported a phantom piper, a headless drummer, the spirits of French prisoners from the Seven Years War and colonial prisoners from the American Revolutionary War - even the ghost of a dog wandering in the grounds’ dog cemetery.
The castle (you can get a tour here) standing magnificently between sea and hills, is a historical fortress, parts of which are more than 900 years old. The cells of its ancient dungeon, the site of uncounted deaths, could very well be an eternal place of unrest for numerous spirits. Other areas of Edinburgh also have ghostly reputations: the subterranean vaults of South Bridge and a disused street called Mary Kings Close where victims of the Black Death plague were sealed up to die.
I promise you this is a true story that I’ll never forget, it’s probably not gonna be very creepy to you readers but if you experienced it you’d probably understand.

The Man With The Gun
I had dinner at my neighbors house, which they were pretty new to the neighborhood, and the strange part was that that house had been through several families, I’m sure there was about 4 other families that had lived in that house in the past year I was in that neighborhood. So while my mother and I were conversing with my neighbors, their two sons were sitting on the couch watching tv. Suddenly we heard a loud thud that sounded like it came from upstairs. We all heard it and looked around and we were all scared, because no one was upstairs. If it wasn’t suspicious enough that 4 families had lived their previously, my neighbor acted a bit fishy, and said it was probably nothing. Later that Night, my mom and I walked home (which is just a house over) but it oddly was really breezy and misty. When we got inside it was really late, I can’t remember what time it was, but I was bored and took a picture of myself, and this is how it came out:
Moving Bookshelf
When I was 17, my sister and I loved to mess with our Ouija board almost every night. We did it mostly in our living room, but for some reason I did it in my room. Well, one night (probably a week after we did it in my room), I was sitting alone in my room with the door shut at my desk. All of a sudden, my bookshelf next to my desk moved a good six inches away from my wall. The bookshelf is also very, very heavy, and it requires at least two people to move it. It scared the everlasting crap out of me! I ran out of my room and slept with my parents. Ever since, I’ve felt very uncomfortable keeping my door shut while I’m alone.

Many years ago when I was rather young, me and my older sister shared a bedroom. One afternoon, she was on the top bunk reading and I was on the bottom bunk drawing. I saw a foot hanging down in between the bed and the wall. I didn’t think anything of it as I assumed my sister was just dangling her foot. Then she said, “Lucie, put your foot away.” Because she had seen a foot sticking up! She swears she wasn’t hanging her foot down and I know I wasn’t sticking mine up. This was a bare foot we saw and we both had socks on. To this day, neither of us can think of an explanation for it.
Fuck Yeah Nightmares Answered: That was weirdly ..scary, ahaha. I think I’ll give it an 9/10. If that happened to me..I think I would be a little freaked out! Thanks for sharing.
I had fallen asleep in our living room one night while watching television. i remember waking up, but hardly being able to open my eyes and i couldn’t move. i tried talking but i wasn’t capable of that either. i kept looking around, and in the start of my hallway, i saw a dark figure. i thought it was my grandfather, so i tried calling out to it, but all that would come out were mumbles. so i just decided to shut my eyes and go back to sleep. when i woke up the next morning, everything was back to normal. i’ve talked to several people about this and my aunt that lives with me says it’s happened to her too. i’ve also heard a lot of stories similar to mine. for me, it was more creepy than scary.

So it was summer of 6th grade, and me and my two friends (Vicky and Julianne) wanted a thrill. Also we were trying to find Vicky’s lost cats. Vicky suggested that we check out this old Victorian looking house that was abandoned in the next neighborhood over. Considering that it was close to sunset, I got a little uneasy, but I kept telling myself that we weren’t going to see anything out of the ordinary.
