15 True Stories That Get Creepier the More You Dig In

Not everyone needs to dive into horror movies or books to feel a thrill of fear; they have their own chilling stories to share. While some of these bizarre incidents can be easily explained, others might leave you questioning your grasp on reality. What’s undeniable is that the real-life accounts we’ve gathered will haunt your thoughts long after you’ve read them.

My husband sent me a text saying he would return two days earlier from his work trip.

On Monday, he came home and apologized for not informing me of his early arrival.

I replied, “What do you mean?

I got your message!”
I grabbed my phone to show him, and both of us turned ashen. Another text read, “Keep your phone close at all times; you never know who might tamper with it!” We were baffled and initially assumed it was a prank from one of his colleagues.

However, we realized that message had been sent just an hour ago, while he was still driving alone.

To this day, we don’t know who sent those two texts, but thankfully, there have been no further messages. After my cat of ten years passed away last December, I continued to hear his meowing.

I would usually dismiss it as me overthinking.

We had a routine where we communicated—a meow from him would prompt me to call out, “Clyde!” followed by more meowing and my response, and then he’d come for cuddles.

One day, while outside, I heard him meowing as if he were just a few feet away. Almost immediately, I heard my own voice echoing from afar, calling, “Clyyyyde!” The back and forth continued for a few moments, leaving me feeling extremely unsettled.

Once it stopped, I turned around and went back inside. My husband passed away just eight days before the birth of my daughter.

At that time, our son was five.

Years later, when he was eighteen, I mentioned to a friend how my husband never met our daughter.

To my shock, my son replied, “Actually, he did.”

What he said next sent chills down my spine. He recalled that their father would visit him at school every day for seven years, then abruptly stopped, never to be seen again.

The specific details my son remembered were alarming—he described the red hat his dad used to wear, his gestures, everything perfectly matched.

I asked my daughter about it, and she described the same man with the exact details. It still unsettles me because that man couldn’t have been their father—he had already passed away.
