It’s common to watch a horror movie and think to yourself, “There is absolutely no way that would happen.” Whether it’s the protagonist running directly towards danger or ghosts wreaking havoc on first-time home buyers, you really have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy these films.
Occasionally, however, people do have experiences in real life that sound like they came straight out of a movie script. Threads users have recently been sharing stories of creepy and unexplainable experiences they’ve had. From witnessing something that definitely wasn’t human to hearing their kids say things they would have had no way of knowing, it’s clear that science can’t explain everything. Good luck reading through this list without getting the heebie-jeebies, and be sure to upvote the stories that you find particularly intriguing!

When I was 16 we had an RV in our backyard that I would go into to get things out of, like games or whatever, and every time I’d go out there, something would be in a different spot or the bathroom door and cabinets would be open. I thought it was just shifting causing things to open, but no matter what I did, I couldn’t get the doors to open without great force. I started to think it was haunted and didn’t want to go out to it at night at all. Fast forward a few months, and I was going to bed when I heard something scratching my window. There was an adult man standing below my window that said he just wanted to say hi! My mom called the cops, and it turned out that he had actually been the haunting of our RV and been living in it for MONTHS.

Our apartment building used to be a hospital - our apartment manager told us it was a TB hospital and the morgue was in the basement. I've since heard other tenants mention it was haunted.

I was at Mass and was particularly upset that I was going to be receiving the Eucharist from a Eucharistic minister instead of the priest and was mad at myself… as I got close to the lady who was doing her role, I was overcome by the smell of roses all around me. I took it as a sign from the lord that he can work through them just like he can the priest and not to be so upset.

When my dad passed away, I wrote my eulogy to include a Frank Sinatra lyric from the song, "Love's Been Good to Me" (his favorite). I don't play this song or have it saved anywhere.
A few months later, I was having a little existential crisis, driving around & decided to talk to my dad. I caught myself & was all, "this is silly. You're not really talking back," then I pressed skip on a song, and that Frank Sinatra song came up. I tested it with questions & each song answered them.

I accidentally bought a haunted house. I’ve seen a ghost who was scared that I could see her. I chased it away because I was scared. Then whatever that thing was sat down next to me on the couch. When it was empty there was a loud bang above our heads when we’re in the basement. The couch bumped off the floor I thought it was the cat shuddering in her sleep. Until I realized we were airborne after multiple instances. Nearby a tv show filmed a mirror image story in 2009. Now it follows me.

I knew this woman who traveled internationally and brought back a doll for her young daughter. Shortly after she gave it to her, really weird things were happening in the house, her daughter was having terrible nightmares and was afraid to go to sleep. One day she was in her kid’s room (this woman is a very spiritually sensitive Christian) and she told me she felt the Holy Spirit tell her to pray over the doll. She started praying and using Bible verses. And a black formless cloud or spirit rose up from the doll. She opened the window and casted it out of her home. She got rid of the doll for good measure.
I’ve been told at least two firsthand account stories where someone shared that cursed items were the cause for their kid’s terrors. Be careful what you bring into your home.
