Real Horror Stories From The Internet

I still remember when I was hiding in the library. It was dark in there because the school was on lockdown. The lights were off, and all students were hiding in classes. I was in the hallway when the alarm rang. So I did not have enough time to rush to my class. Instead of heading to the washroom, I decided to go to the library. Because honestly, it is too predictable to hide in the washroom as it is one of the first places psycho shooters would look into to find unsuspecting students. That is why I went to the library so I could hide there, between stacks of shelves filled with books. I assumed they would never come here, so I hid behind the first shelf. It was near the door - I could see if anyone entered. And to my shock, the door opened. A man with a long sharp knife made his way inside. I panicked and crouched. This sudden movement made a book move. But luckily, he did not see it. He kept moving toward the counter, and I slowly stepped toward the second row of shelves. I wanted to...

Since vacations were finally starting, my gang and I decided to go to a forest camp in the dense forest of the Death Valley National Park instead of a club this time. At first, I thought it was a bad idea, but then, we live life only once. That shit struck me at that moment, and after a while, when I reconsidered my decision, my friends did not allow me to back off. I had no choice but to go. So we got on the bus led by a camping instructor. We were on a camping trip with other unknown groups. The forest was dark even in daylight. The drive was all fun and games until our bus suddenly jerked to a halt. The sudden jolt got us all worried. But we later realized that our bus had got punctured. So we had to walk our way to the campsite. We were more than halfway through our bus journey. Eventually, after a long, arduous walk, we reached the campsite. We unpacked our bags, only to find that we were out of water for the rest of the outing. It is not that we had not packed enough water, but w...

As the ice melted off our roof, my husband and I planned to take a camping trip to the Death Valley National Park. Since childhood, I have been quite a paranormal activities enthusiast, so this would be a fun trip for me. Since it was an impromptu plan, my husband was a little nervous. So you know, my husband is a very cautious person. He usually needs time to pack all the essentials and salt. Now I do not believe in the salt theory, as it did fail once, and I was fallen unconscious for the next three days. Gladly, my husband Drake doesn’t know about this. And I decided to keep it a secret for our best interest. So we reached our destination, and it was just us and our van in the middle of the forest. It was dark and cold. We pulled out the portable campfire that my husband insisted on buying on our way. In retrospect, it was a good decision. After setting up our tents near the lake, we snuggled inside a cozy blanket and listened to lo-fi music. We were vibing to the mood just when- we...

We were camping for the weekend. We had planned a three-day trek through the woods. We had planned to climb to our first spot and set up camp for the night. Move along the trail on the next day and then set up camp at night again. We were regular campers and well versed with the risks at night. The visibility is low. We might lose our sense of direction. Apart from that, it would be difficult to spot any wild animal if in case it was watching us. So our trek had started well. We were on schedule on day one. Every single one of us was high on energy. We saw many rabbits and deers moving around in the forest. We didn’t bother them much. We stayed on the planned trail and kept clicking pictures. The day ended with no hassles. We set up camp at night and had fun stargazing. Until this point, the route was a regular one for us. But from the next day onwards, we were heading on a trail we had never traveled before. Mind you, it was not a risk we were taking. The route that we were taking was...

I am a big fan of camping. I’ve been going on camping trips ever since I was a teenager. Back then, I used to go to camping spots within safe quarters. It was mostly with my elder siblings. However, later, I started going with my college buddies. And it was in mostly off-limits places. You know the places that are not listed or marked on the maps. As you might have guessed, these camping spots were generally deep in the woods. We would explore unknown places, set up a campfire, and camp under the stars while sipping liquor. It is a vibe. And it is usually fun until you realize that you aren’t alone in the woods. I remember this one incident I would like to share with you all. It was back in 2016 when I was on a camping trip with my college friends. It was 5 of us. We had been on a few camping trips before. But this time, we decided to tread a little deep in the woods. You see, we wanted to feel the thrill. And our last two trips were a lot typical. It didn’t give us much satisfaction a...

So lately I have developed a new habit of going for night walks. Ever since I bought a place near the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, I was excited to walk the outskirts of it at night. Being near the forest does make it sound scary, but I am not much of a believer in paranormal activities. Of course, there is a fear of wild animals or creatures in the woods, but they are never to be seen where I live. Generally, these cases or claims are from the deep woods. So despite being warned about all the risks, I went for a walk today as well. There is a man who has been walking the same path as mine for the last couple of days. He is cute, dark, and tall. We exchange smiles and I might add that I kind of blush too. I mean, come on, he is charming. The next day I tell my friends about him, and of course, they being my friends, they motivate me to go and initiate a conversation with him. And why would I not? So the following night, instead of exchanging smiles, I stopped and greeted him w...

I woke up in the middle of the night. It was 3:00 AM when I checked the clock. Of late, I have been getting this weird dream. I should actually be calling it a nightmare. So in this dream, well, actually a nightmare, I see some woman climbing into my room from the window. She gets into my bedroom and makes me do things like the one I had last night, where she made me jump off the terrace. Well, I didn’t actually jump. Thank God! It was by God’s grace that I was saved by a man who was passing by the building. All I remember about that woman is that she had thick red hair as if she had bathed in blood. Well, it was a nightmare after all, so it shouldn't bother me much. But somehow, it does. So this entire dream fiasco started four days ago when I shifted here in this beautiful yet cheap apartment in Montana. I would rather not give many details of the place. All I can mention is that it was near Yellowstone National Park. But I was lucky to get such a huge and well-designed apartment...
