Hey Pandas, What Was The Scariest Thing That Happened To You On Halloween? (Closed)

My younger sister & I (around 12 yrs) were walking home. I heard someone muttering behind me, and this guy in all black was standing there, playing with something in his hands and staring at us. We were pretty creeped out so we ran home. Almost at our door, the guy stood there at the end of the driveway staring at us. Our parents called the police and it turns out the guy was the neighbor creep. He had a habit of following little kids, especially girls, home. I'm not sure what else he did but it was definitely creepy. Thank God he got put in jail.

I was like 19, 20 at the time. For starters, one of my friends had this creepy witch head that cackled, which he used to scare me a couple of times. Fast forward to Halloween when a few of us decided to party at this old boat dock surrounded by forest. So we're drinking and smoking, having a merry ol' time. I left the group for a few minutes don't remember why. I was walking back to the group. We were in the woods and it's very dark, but there's a small trail. All of a sudden my friend jumps out with that damn cackling witches head. I screamed, then I punched the head and ran away. It took me a second to realize that I was not in danger. We all laughed about it and 15 years later I still get made fun for my reaction, which if you ask me, while I wasn't actually in danger, I think that's a good way to react to danger. 😅

I was in 7th grade going trick or treating with my friends. One of my friends, who I'll call Steve, was epileptic. We passed this one house, and a guy jumped us, and started beating up my other friend, Mia (not real name) Steve jumps in, getting this guy off her. Steve ends up having a minor seizure, and after I yelled at this guy, we left. He chased us down the street and gave us king sized candy bars as an apology. Dude went to jail for assault IIRC

The moon shone through the trees and shipwrecked in the clouds like a ghostly galleon. The echoes of tradition and judgement swirled around all those who tottered about this November eve, dressed in Squid Game Masks and bad taste. My and my brother, a scrawny youth whose name escapes me, dauntingly trekked through the streets of the village, gluttony fuelling our folly. For it was those nice mini snickers, not tradition, that had sent us out into the fog. I saw my friends. I told my brother to hold my bag of sweets, which had already become a plethora of future diabetes, and went over to my friends, bound not by love but by the hope of a free tangfastic. As I talked, a chill came in the air. My heart stuttered and stopped in anxiety. What could it be? The mists obscured my vision as I spun around, fearing for the safety for the thing I held most dear. I hastily gave my goodbyes to my friends and sped back to my brother. My worry had come true. There, in the mists and the inky moonlight, my brother lay on a bench, beads of sweat pillaged his brow. But I could not care about him, for on the floor was my bag of candy. Empty, the thing I cared most about was gone. The nasty little boy had eaten the lot of them. Truly traumatising experience.

For Halloween 2010 I was in Glastonbury UK. I had attended a rather magical “Faerie Ball” the night before and on Samhain itself I had gone to an event at the Chalice Well at the foot of Glastonbury Tor.

It was wonderful and I had a great time. My accomodation was just up the road and my bedroom window looked straight out onto the road that ran around the bottom of the Tor and I could see up to the top

I was sound asleep and then suddenly something woke me. It sounded like a pack of dogs baying… Then I could hear what sounded like horses hooves and tack jingling outside my window on the road below. I glanced over at the beside clock and saw it was dead on the stroke of Midnight.

I looked out the window up at the Tor and in the moonlight it looked as if the mist was ‘riding’ up the Tor and every hair on me stood to attention.

Honestly… I didn’t look much harder… the idea of drawing the attention of the Wild Hunt on Samhain is not something I was willing to trifle with. It is still one of the most terrifying and wonderful feelings I have ever experienced!

When I was around 11 or 12, my older brother (13 or 14) and a friend were walking down a street when a car went past us, turned around, came back and two older teens jumped out. One of them had a baseball bat. He accused my brother of beating up his younger brother and stealing his candy. I guess my brother looked vaguely like the description the younger brother gave of the kid that did it, but we didn't even have any candy. We were actually just out walking around, not even dressed up for Halloween. We were able to convince the guy that none of us beat up his little brother, and we were able to get away without any injuries.

Was in my early teens and went with some friends to trick or treat at their neighborhood. To get there I had to go through some woods. Not a long walk, but not exactly short either. So around 23:00 it was time to go home and the other two girls suggest to walk me home so I wouldn't be alone.
At that time there was some announcement in the news about a murderer walking around with an axe.
We had walked like halfway to the woods when we saw the shape of a man, holding an axe in his hand... All we saw was a black shape coming towards us.
All three of us turned around screaming and run to my friend's house gasping for air. Her mom drove me home. The image still hunts me...

Okay, so me and my friend (who we’ll call Jenna) were trick-or-treating at her house. We were like 7. But anyways, there was this house, c**p-ton of decor. Well, there were a bunch of cobwebs and stuff, and a pile of pumpkins, and a rocking chair. And in the rocking chair sat this big Mr. Oogie Boogie man, not moving, making no sound, just sitting there with a bowl of King-Size bars in his hands. Well, I was terrified of Oogie, but I’m not gonna chicken out in front of Jenna, so I go up to this plush and steal two Twix. Well, ITS ACTUALLY A GUY IN A COSTUME, AND HE JUMP-SCARES ME! I screamed so bad it was kinda funny, so he gave us both an extra king size. Meanwhile, Jenna was hiding!

Had my tonsils out when I was 16. Back in the old-timey days when you stayed overnight in the hospital. I had to use the toilet but figured I was 16 years old and I could certainly go potty by myself.....Took one step off the bed, passed out and woke up with a broken ankle.

We had bullies on our street and my oldest brother (10 years older) said he'd come to make sure nothing happened to me and my friends. He was still living at home so I was probably 6 or 7. We were almost done when suddenly the bully and his cronies attacked us. I start yelling to my brother and see to my horror that he's flirting (flirting!!!) with a girl in front of her house and didn't hear anything. We lost all our candies and we all had bruises and black eyes. Even though that brother was my favorite I had a hard time forgiving him. I never went after that night. That was it for me.

I got lost in the city in the middle of trick or treating

A small group of friends and I were out trick or treating when a car pulled up beside us. A couple of guys got out and attacked us. We fought them off but not before they managed to knock out one of my friend's teeth.

Some creepy-looking guy on a skateboard was following me and my friends when we went trick or treating and when we turned around to see what he wanted, he just gave us all his candy. I thought it was weird and kinda sketch...

It was just me and my two cousins on a scooter and we were getting back home at night after getting some sandwiches from the cafeteria so we just decided to stop a little bit because the cousin who was driving needed to stretch his legs so we all got off and I was just there looking around until I saw this unnatural thing it was tall Matt black had worm like arms and a worm tail instead of legs it also had several eyes on its cone shaped head , I still wonder if what I saw was real or not.
TL;DR
I saw creepy supernatural thing.

Me and my younger friend were trick or treating this when I got a bad feeling, so I whipped my head around and I spotted a weird person (couldn't tell what gender) eerily standing behind us, wearing all black and was reaching out to my friend, not speaking, barely moving (their arm was stretching out towards my friend). My friend was trembling and frozen by fear. I didn't know what to do and there were no adults around so I pushed my friend behind me and punched the person. After that, we just ran and never told anybody we knew.

By the way, I know I said "my friend" a lot but for privacy reasons, that's all I'm going to call them

I was walking around with my friend, (no adults) when someone behind us said “You’re late, *my name*.”
It sounded like my mom, but my mom wasn’t with us. (Not dead, just with my other siblings). My friend and I ran to the next house. Both of us heard our parents, calling our names.

I saw the strangest thing: when I went trick-or-treating I saw a door, just there in space! And when I knocked on it, I blacked out! When I came to after what seemed like hours no one had moved and the door was at the house in front of us. Hallucinations?

TL;DR
I found a ghostly door.

Some people knocked on my door and demanded lollies.

Not 100% creepy and this happened a while ago so my memory is a bit foggy.

I was trick-or-treating with my mom's friend and her kids, plus my brother, my mom, my dog, and I. We eventually reached a house the looked kind of off, just sort of barely taken care of and dirty. So these people were in their driveway, a big bowl of candy on the table. One guy is smoking a cigarette with barely any teeth, which freaks me out, and beer cans are in the floor and stuff. No big deal, probably just some adults having fun, right? It gets weirder. We go to reach in the bowl when the no-teeth-guy stops us, shakes his head and says, "The little girlie [he means me] can get some, but the rest of you have to sing the Halloween song," We booked the hell out of there, he probably meant well but it scared the absolute s**t out of me.

Last year (2021) on Halloween, I had a sleepover with my (now) ex-girlfriend. We watched horror movies and stuff and even called the Bloody Mary ghost. My girl said she didn't see her, but I could, or at least I saw a distorted version of myself in the mirror. I rubbed my eyes and it was still there. Stepped out of the mirror frame and back again, and it didn't go away. I looked behind me and for a second I SWEAR I saw some kind of demon-like ghost or something behind me. About an hour later, at 3am, we did a ghost detecting session in her room and outside, and found at least 10-20 ghosts who either meant harm or were evil and said "maybe so maybe not" when asked if they were evil. It was pretty creepy but it gets creepier. I was actually pushed from behind- my girl was in front of me- and landed on the grass; I looked up and could make out the faint outline of a man in a suit and tie with no head. It was really weird.
