<p>The allure of horror movies is the excitement and adrenaline rush of being scared or creeped out <em>voluntarily </em>by <em>fictional</em> stories. But while I enjoy getting the sh*t scared out of me by a good horror flick, when creepy or scary things happen in real life, that is a big NO from me. Two thumbs down. 0/0 would NOT recommend.</p><p>In a popular Reddit thread, someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ozzeih/serious_what_is_the_creepieststrangestscariest/" target="_blank">asked</a>: &quot;What is the creepiest/strangest/scariest experience you ever had in your life?&quot;</p><h2>These 19 people share their creepiest, spookiest, and scariest experiences that are straight out of an M Night Shyamalan film:</h2><p>1.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/GingerBanger85/">GingerBanger85</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I lived way out in the country in the woods several years ago. It was a nice summer night, so I had all the windows open. I was a single female, and men&#39;s cologne came wafting through the windows so strong I could taste it. Scared the shit out of me. I couldn&#39;t shut/lock the windows and the doors fast enough.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>2.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/FranzAllspring/">FranzAllspring</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>There is a small cave system near my house and me, my brother and a friend decided to go explore it one day when I was about 8. The cave starts of being quite spacious and is even equipped with light, as it is located in a bit of woods near the town so lots of people go in it. But we decided to move further than this known part, the ceiling getting closer and closer with each turn.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>After 20 minutes or so we come to a point where we have to continue on our knees until eventually we cant progress unless we crawl on our stomachs. No natural light is to be seen anywhere but we still decide to do it. We crawl for quite some time before I start panicking. There is no way to turn around in this position. There is no way anyone would hear us screaming for help if we get stuck or hit a dead end. No one even knows where we went. Cell phones weren&#39;t a thing yet. Luckily, eventually the ceiling got higher, light became visible and we found an exit but damn I wqs never so scared for my life ever again</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> </blockquote><p>3.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/flamingphoenix9834/">flamingphoenix9834</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I was getting ready to leave work for the night and the night manager (who had just returned from Iraq) came out to smoke. I remember walking out the door of the Walgreens, feeling utterly terrified, and I turned immediately back into the store. When the manager came back inside, I said &quot;I need you to walk me all the way to my car. Somethings not right.&quot; He was like, &quot;yeah sure.&quot; So he walked with me all the way to my car, checked it, shut my door and he watched me drive away.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>I found out two days later that somebody had gruesomely killed a woman in the parking lot across the street from my store, on the night I had my manager walk me to my car. Holy f**k. That was almost me.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>4.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/zombiegirl_me/">zombiegirl_me</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>I lived in North Chicago in the 90&#39;s. I was the only white person in my neighborhood. I didn&#39;t have a car so I&#39;d take the bus to work and back but at night, the drop off was a few blocks from my neighborhood and I&#39;d walk home in the dark (I&#39;m female). Never had a problem.</p> <p>One day, during the daytime, I was walking back from getting some groceries, and a cop car pulled up beside me. White officer, asking what I was doing. Told him I was walking home. He insisted the neighborhood wasn&#39;t safe and that I should get in the car.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>There is no way that officer was assigned to that neighborhood (I&#39;d met the other officers on patrol, no idea who this officer was). But he kept insisting that I get in the car and kept following me at a slow speed. Honestly, the vibes were not good.</p> <p>I went to a random house, told the officer I was &#39;home&#39;, and opened the door and walked in. It wasn&#39;t my home, didn&#39;t know the people that lived there. They looked so surprised that this white girl was suddenly in their house.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>Told them what was going on, and even they were like WTF, no white officers are assigned to this area. They let me stay with them in the house for few hours (until the officer left), and then walked me home.</p> </blockquote><p>5.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/PBO123567/">PBO123567</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>This was like 40 years ago. My mom and dad and I were driving in a very rural part of Indiana. I was about 10 years old and sitting in the back seat. As we crossed a short bridge over a stream, I looked out my window and saw a woman tied to a tree. I told my dad what I saw, and he reversed the car back over the bridge (to this day i am grateful to him for believing a little kid). Anyway, as we drove back over the stream, we could see that the property owner had tied a mannequin to a tree with a KEEP OUT sign over her head. Sick mofo. That haunted me for years.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>6.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Daisylynn_17/">Daisylynn_17</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>My freshman year in high school I was taking choir class. We were staying after school practicing for our concert later that month and one day my teacher ended up calling practice about an hour early. We all started calling our parents to let them know we were finishing practice early that day. One of the girls in my class had left her phone at home that day. She asked if she could use anyone&rsquo;s phone to call her mom. Of course I offered mine &amp; she called her mom. From behind me (where she was sitting) I hear her crying.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>She asked me what my number was. I was confused but I recite my number back to her. She still has my phone to her ear. &amp; tells me &ldquo;your number is my aunt&rsquo;s old number. She passed a year ago&rdquo; when she called her mom with my cellphone her mom received an incoming call her from her sister that had passed. It was the craziest/strangest thing. Not scary or bad, but still something I think about.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p><button aria-label="upvote" aria-pressed="false" data-click-id="upvote"></button></p><p>7.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/TobeyMagu1re/">TobeyMagu1re</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>Was 16 and my car broke down in the middle of a very busy intersection. I was pretty flustered as I could tell I was making traffic really congested. Went to call for a tow when a man came out of nowhere in a jumpsuit mechanics wear and just said &ldquo;get in I&rsquo;ll push&rdquo; and he pushed me pretty far and around a corner. I immediately got out to thank him and he was gone. This area was very out in the open, there&rsquo;s no chance he could&rsquo;ve walked away or even ran away without me seeing. There were also no car shops near this area. I looked everywhere and even asked some people on the street if they saw him and nobody said they had even saw him. It was a really bizarre event.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>8.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/HappyDancingDaisy/">HappyDancingDaisy</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>This is just weird, not scary. Years ago, I met a little kid (maybe 5 years old). Out of the blue, this kid said, &quot;I used to bite people when I was you.&quot; The thing is, I did bite others when I was a little kid.</p> </blockquote><p>9.) From <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Sloth143/">Sloth143</a>:</p><blockquote> <p>When I was younger, I was riding my bike up and down the street when suddenly a car pulled up beside me. Some guy I didn&#39;t recognize leaned over and asked me for directions. I honestly didn&#39;t know how to get where he was asking, so I said that. The guy responded with &quot;What? I couldn&#39;t hear you, can you come closer and repeat that?&quot; Alarm bells were ringing so I shook my head as I took off on my bike. Luckily he didn&#39;t follow me, so who knows, maybe he really was an innocent guy who couldn&#39;t hear, but I wasn&#39;t going to find out.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><p>10.)

We didn&rsquo;t close our breakfast room blinds because that window faced the backyard. I was eating breakfast before school, reading the cereal box as one did in the 90&rsquo;s. It was dark outside, because it was super early. Because the light was on inside and it was dark outside and the blinds were open, I saw my reflection in the window.

He was due any minute. I was sitting on the couch in the living room, and had a clear view of the front door. I see the front door knob start to rattle and our new puppy started losing her mind. She would get in between your legs and trip you up so I just took a couple minutes to calm her down, figuring my ex would make it inside before I managed to get her out of my way. But the door doesn&#39;t open. I figure maybe my ex is struggling with his tool bag and other work stuff, so after I get the puppy calm I go and open the front door.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>No one was there. I thought maybe he went back to his truck so I shut the door and wait for him. Several minutes pass. I call him and say, &quot;Hey, where&#39;d you go?&quot; He asks what I mean.

You tried to open the door?&quot; He said he&#39;d gotten caught up talking to his mom as he&#39;d swung by his parents&#39; house, and he was still about 15 minutes out. I was creeped out, but chalked it up to my drunk neighbor trying to get into the wrong apartment again.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>The next day I found out another neighbor had opened their door to someone and gotten tied up and robbed at gunpoint. I don&#39;t know if it was the same person at my door. I don&#39;t know if that would have happened to me, as I had a habit of just opening the door without checking the peephole (I was really naive). But I was really grateful that my puppy kept me from opening the door immediately.

19 people share stories of the creepiest and scariest experiences they've ever had.

But while I enjoy getting the sh*t scared out of me by a good horror flick, when creepy or scary things happen in real life, that is a big NO from me. Two thumbs down. 0/0 would NOT recommend.In a popular Reddit thread, someone asked: &quot;What is the creepiest/strangest/scariest experience you ever had in your life?&quot;These 19 people share their creepiest, spookiest, and scariest experiences that are straight out of an M Night Shyamalan film:1.) From GingerBanger85: I lived way out in the country in the woods several years ago. It was a nice summer night, so I had all the windows open.

The cave starts of being quite spacious and is even equipped with light, as it is located in a bit of woods near the town so lots of people go in it. But we decided to move further than this known part, the ceiling getting closer and closer with each turn.  After 20 minutes or so we come to a point where we have to continue on our knees until eventually we cant progress unless we crawl on our stomachs.
