What Are Some of Your Scariest Stories?

I've been in the Halloween spirit for about a week and I've been reading all kinds of paranormal stories. I was wondering, what are some of the scariest paranormal, UFO, or unexplained personal accounts you've heard from other people or experienced yourself?

The part of Kentucky I grew up in seems like a crossroads for paranormal and UFO activity. There's accounts of Bigfoot, Dogmen, satanic cults, a lot of supposedly haunted locations, weekly UFO sightings, the famous Kelly Alien encounter, and Edgar Cayce's home and practice, all within less than a 30 minute drive. I'll start off with a couple of stories I've been told and add more as the thread goes a long.

A friend I went to high school with told me this story, and I have no reason not to believe him. He's your typical redneck, outdoorsy type, and not one prone to flights of imagination. He said he went out hunting one day, didn't see much and just spent most of the day walking the woods and exploring some adjacent property to his own. At one point, he comes upon an old stone well, probably a couple hundred years old with a latch on top and some ropes tied around it in a weird way. Curiosity got the best of him, so he worked at the latch for a little while and finally got it open. Now this is the crazy part. He said he opened the well up, shined a flashlight down into it and saw some eyes shining back in the light. All of a sudden whatever it was was starting screeching and running UP the well at him. He freaks out, tries to shut the well, finally gets the top locked on it while this thing is banging away, soils himself, and runs the entire 4-5 miles back to his house. He swears up and down this really happened. I've tried to get him to show me the well but he won't go near that patch of woods.

This is one my grandfather told me involving my great uncle. My great uncle was a notorious drinker so no one really paid him much attention when he talked about what seemed like crazy things. He had told my grandfather that something had been flying and landing on the top of his house and walking around for the past few nights. So this night he borrowed a rifle from my grandfather, and sat up and waited. About 1:30 am my grandfather got a frantic call from him screaming about the thing on the roof again over the sound of gunshots.

So, my grandfather gets dressed and rushes over there and as he's pulling up he actually see's the back of something on two legs flying away from the roof of my uncles house. He goes inside, and the house is wrecked. My uncle had shot through the roof at whatever the thing was until the roof was almost destroyed. He went and stayed at my grandfathers that night and then moved out of his house the next day. You couldn't get him to rent a house out in the country after that.

Those two stories are just a couple I've been told by people I trust to not make things up. I have a lot more including some crazy things I've witnessed as well, but I'll wait until some more people have shared before I talk about those.

So, ATS, what are some of your scariest paranormal encounters?

Cool stories.

The last one you told about your uncle and grandfather sounded like the Jeepers Creepers movie.

My grandfather swears to this day that happened. My uncle died about 10 years ago so I never had the chance to talk to him about it. Definitely freaky.

Freaky! Thanks for sharing.

When we were doing ATS Live shows and - in an act of bravado - we decided to read off an alleged NSA watch list of words that was circulating the net at the time.

We lost the live feed, the Skype call and both the broadcast capable hosts lost their internet connection for a few minutes.

I spent the rest of the night waiting for my door to be kicked in!

you gotta admit, weather that was meant to derail or not, that is a very scary story. I have kind of a scary story, I guess? When I was stationed at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, there was a story (and something I myself witnessed) about an Airman who shot himself on guard duty one night over a Dear John letter, and supposedly you can see his ghost in the horizon walking back and forth where the post used to be at a distance, but when you drive closer to the area, the figure disappears. To me it looked like someone walking away from us when we were driving up to it. By the time we got to the area, the sun had completely set, and no one else was around to be seen.

I have a Ouija Board true story.

My mom bought me a Ouija board when I was 13 from a garage sale. My best friend Lisa and I lit candles one day and tried the Ouija board. We were asking silly questions. I thought she was moving the Ouija and she said I was moving it.

We finished and blew out the candles. Nothing happened until I went to sleep that evening.

A framed photo of me as a child fell off the wall in my room and the glass broke. The frame was never moved or touched for a few years.

It freaked out my parents, my dad burned the board the next day.

My friend, Psycho Chris and I were part of a group of friends camping out at another friends house in Bridgefoot, near Dundee, Scotland. We had been drinking and everyone else had gone to bed so Psycho and I went for a walk. It was around 1am on a warm August morning, about 19 years ago and it was relatibely dark. At the time we were both practising Wicca and felt fairly in tune with energies and things. As we were walking up a hill I started to get strange vibes from a forest up a hill and Psycho explained that it was an ancient graveyard (which I would jump at the chance of ecploring day or night these days). We decided to turn back.

We passed the road we had turned off of to get on the road that led to the Graveyard and, not far down it there was a dead tree that looked blacker than anything else around and freaked us out ao we headed back to the house. As we were walking along past a house we heard something big (maybe bull sized), walking along in the field behind the road. We felt a bit uneasy and sped up, as did the hooves. So we started running, and so did the hooves (we both swear we heard a bestial snort). The field came to an end as there was a road, before another field and as we got to the road, the hooves stopped. We stopped and gave a nervous laugh as whatever the hell it was seemed to land on the other side of the road. We just ran, as fast as our legs would carry us, we had sobered up and were pretty shaken. We were both sleeping in different tents and ran into them.

Neither of us had slept at all and when the sun started coming up a few hours later we made our way back to the field. A thick mist had come down and made the morning just as spooky as the night had been. When we got to the fields, both were empty. That was a strange, strange night...

Oh my god that is creepy. Wonder what that could have been? Here's an experience that happened to me and some friends in High School involving a graveyard that gives me chills to this day:

About an hour walk into the woods behind my friend J's house was an old slave graveyard.We used to take girls out there late at night to scare them and hang out and drink. One night, me and J and some other friends decide to hike out there. It was around 11 or 12 at night. As we're walking down the overgrown path we're talking and laughing and J is in the front and he stops all of a sudden.

We all stop talking and look up and off in the distance where the graveyard is we see what looks like torches burning and people standing around in a circle. The girls are properly freaked out and are trying to leave that second, but me and a couple friends sneaked a little closer to look. What we saw was a group of about 20 people standing around with torches, not saying a word.

We backed off slowly and ran the rest of the way home. Never went back again. Were they ghosts? Relatives of the people buried there? Who knows. Something else disturbing about that same graveyard is that sometimes when we'd go back there we'd see that someone had dug up graves and laid the caskets on the train tracks that were next to it so they'd get smashed when the train came through. There was wood and old bits of cloth and bone scattered everywhere. Truly a freaky place.
