These 21 People Have Lived Through Real Life Horror Stories

I misplaced a pair of earrings I really liked. Nothing special; $19.99 at Target but I wore those earrings all the time. Couldn’t find them and looked everywhere. I especially looked in, around, under and behind my bed, because I have a habit of taking them off as I’m going to bed and tossing them on the nightstand. Three days go by and no luck. I’m getting ready for a date, alone in the house. Still thinking about those earrings and miffed that I couldn’t wear them. Right before my date shows up, I go back into my bedroom. The earrings are there, on my pillow. To this day it still creeps me out.

I was 6 & I look up from bed & see a large, demonic looking dog/man. I freak out, but didn’t mention it to anybody. A couple years ago, I was sleeping in the same room, when I was woken up by somebody punching me in the stomach at exactly 3am. No one was there. The next day I told me mom. The color drained from her face. The same thing happened to my stepdad, at the exact same time. A month later, my step dad is laying down on a couch in the basement. He opens his eyes to see the demon dog from 10 years earlier. He blinks & it’s suddenly across the room, standing next to a candle dedicated to his late brother.

My friends & I were driving & we came across about 25 people standing expressionless in the middle of the road. We started slowly approaching & as we got closer they moved only enough to assimilate the Jeep. They stood only inches from the car & stared in. Once we had passed the last of them my friend floored it & inadvertently shot rocks into the crowd. This greatly agitated them & they gave a slow & steady chase, but we quickly lost them. We only got a mile when my friend rounded a tight corner & hit a pothole. We got a flat & immediately jumped out of the car & started the tire change. We started hearing their shouts & soon the first of the meth-heads started rounding the corner. We finished, jump in the car & never looked back.
