65 Terrifying Events And Photos That Might Haunt Your Thoughts For Days

After taking this picture my manager and I were walking and out and we heard an noise we’ve never heard before I thought it was an alarm but sounded more like a phone. The self checkout light turned on randomly as well. We left right after as we all kind of got shook up but this whole experience has me kind of scared considering there was nothing in real life where the shadow is in the photo.

So, for context, I work as a contractor for my local school system, cleaning the school classrooms. The picture tagged is one of the 4 I clean nightly, and all 4 look exactly alike. It's a new job, so I haven't had much happen in the sense of paranormal. My dad (who is my coworker and kinda sorta boss) and coworker (we'll call him Devin) have though. My dad has heard a voice say "come here" when he was the only one in the hall, Devin heard "clicking" noises. A couple of years ago, a close family friend (who my family considers family) worked there too. There's a parking lot where the busses park to drop kids on and off. She was walking down the sidewalk and seen a man out in the parking lot, in a dark area. It's not dark enough to where anything can't be seen due to the lights surrounding said lot. She said she called out to him, and he started to walk away, towards the fence, where lights were. She said he became more and more transparent the further he walked, until he wasn't there any more. I have a heavy sense of unease, and as if I'm being watched, even if I know I'm alone in the hallway. I drag my work out as long as I can in each hallway, so that way I'm not in one spot for too long by myself. It's very creepy at night. During the day I'm fine, but the night time is really unsettling.

hi everyone, I’m in Tbilisi, Georgia for the weekend for a work trip. The building has been in my family for a few decades, but only recently has it been turned into an Airbnb. i basically get a free pass since I’m family. Last night I felt a presence around me. The room was really cold and my body felt heavy. My heart rate was unusually high. I just felt something staring at me. I immediately got out of bed and went to turn the lights on. I literally froze when I saw this thing in the corner, just next to where I was sleeping only seconds beforehand. After taking this photo and immediately left the house. I haven’t been back since and staying at a hotel for the night. Has anyone had an experience with an entity like this? I have no idea where to began thinking about what this could be. Is it safe to return to the Airbnb and get my things at least?

Some of our guys ran into a few guys who happened to be members of the fraternity that lived in our house before us. They asked us if we had any experiences in the attic/3rd story and we said no, other than some of the guys claiming they got an off putting vibe up there or heard footsteps. Then they shared this picture with us- they claimed it was taken during a party (~2013) and there was no one behind the guys in the picture and no one noticed anything until the morning after. Not sure what to think, I’m not a huge believer in ghosts- maybe the picture is photoshopped? Maybe they were messing with us? If they were trying to prank us they were pretty good actors
As for the house I’ve heard stories it was used as a TB home at the turn of the century but we’ve only been able to find public records dating back to 1921. I know it was at least a frat house in the 1960s because I’ve met guys who lived in the house back then.
I don’t have much more info but I’d be curious to see what people think, I could do some digging if this gains traction.

It’s been almost two months now that this experience has happened. I had serious doubts of even posting this but now that I’ve let some time pass and feeling more courage, I will now recount an event that happened to me that will forever leave me scared for the rest of my life….so here I go.

My family and I flew to Boston to visit my sister and planned to be there for four days. The first day(8/6) was great as we went to Cape Cod and celebrated my mom’s birthday at a restaurant that evening. The second day(8/7) we decided to head to Salem for each of us to have a psychic reading. At the store where the psychic performed our readings, she had encouraged my mom to buy a black obelisk crystal to ward off bad energy and spirits as my mom was dealing with a few bad-vibe people in her life. She ended up buying it. After our stop in Salem, we drove to the Crane Estate in Ipswich. We spent about two hours there briefly walking around the inside then spending most of our time there strolling around the back of the estate and at the beach close by. We had initially wanted to book a hotel in the mountains somewhere up north to spend a day earlier that morning but we had procrastinated until we left the Crane Estate. I went on Hotels.com to find a nice but affordable hotel to stay at somewhere in New Hampshire. After looking at a couple hotels, I had found one with a nice mountain backdrop in North Conway, so I booked it. After two hours of driving through the beautiful mountain landscapes of New Hampshire, we had arrived at the hotel. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary or creepy at the slightest. Thus far, we’ve had such a beautiful and pleasant time exploring much of New England and really being grateful for the few days we had before we had to head back home. The vibes couldn’t have been any better. However that night, would forever change us.

3:15 am on 8/8/2025
I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night to see my mom standing up at the edge of the bed and scream bloodcurdling screams as if she was being attacked. She was slowly walking towards the front door a couple feet away and I got out of the bed quickly and hugged her. But as I was hugging her, she was being pulled/dragged by an invisible force I can only deem as demonic. As I was holding her she was still screaming and we were both being dragged towards the front door. Absolute sheer and terror engulfed my soul. The pull was so strong that my toes were curled up and were bruised by the sheer force of this “thing”. What was at most 10 seconds, felt like an eternity in hell. Fortunately, my sister turned on the lights and it ended. I immediately collapsed on the ground, my heart pumping out of my chest and feeling like I was about to faint. I just started crying collapsed on the ground screaming “It was going to take you, It was going to take you!”. My mom woke up from this but she didn’t recall any of this happening and was in fact so frightened that I had a terrible dream or something had gotten in me. She had no idea what had happened. She was being taken away by this force and out the door I’m convinced, if it weren’t without my intervention. After a couple of minutes when all of us were in just in a complete state of shock, my sister recounted her point of view. My sister, who was sleeping on the other bed, said when she had heard my mom and I screaming, she had initially thought that a rat was on the bed but a rat wouldn’t illicit such a terrifying scream. Next train of thought was that someone had broken in and we were fighting him off. But she then saw my mom and I standing curled up with no one else in sight and then realized that something terrifyingly ominous had happened. She had no words, nor did I, nor did any of us in the room.

This is the most traumatic and terrifying experience I’ve ever had in my life. I still suffer the consequences of that horrible ordeal. While I sleep better than I did last month, a lay in bed at night believing in the back of my mind that it could very well happen again. While I’ve never been religious, this has certainly has created an upheaval in my preconceived beliefs system. I now fully believe that the spiritual world exists. I never believed in it because I never experienced it in my life….that night I experienced it, I saw it, I felt it. It exists.

To this day, I still can’t fully comprehend what happened that night. One side of my brain wants to believe that it was just a bad dream and to just forget about it. The other side says it did in fact happen and it was REAL, and that brings chills to my spine. Whether I want to believe it or not, this DID happen and I will forever carry that emotional scare of that day for the rest of my life until I die.

My cleaning lady was cleaning my neighbors house and sent me this photo. She originally took it because she was going to reorganize that space back to its original placement after she cleaned it.

Do you guys see what I see? I was thinking it could be the home owner but she said noone was home. Also the homeowner does not look like that. Not sure where the reflection could come from either?

Only thing I can think of is, its just a very bad reflection of the homeowner, but that would only make sense if the homeowner was right behind my cleaning lady, but noone was home….

My friend sent me this last night, we work night shift from home she went for a smoke break at 4am and saw this on her neighbours roof, opinions?

This is an old family photo we (my family and i) have just come across, taken in the 50’s or 60’s. There is a translucent face and upper body behind the two people to the left. We do not know who or what it could be. It was taken on film, which is known to have some issues but that wouldn’t explain how you can see the wall and border behind the face if it was originally covering it, if that makes sense.

We moved into our house four years ago, and on the second night we lived here I woke up and saw this down the hallway (this is the exact view from my bed) I was half asleep. I was too terrified to leave the door open after that. We now sleep with the hallway light on because my son had a nightmare soon after this that a t rex with yellow eyes dragged him down the hallway from his bed. His bedroom is at the other end of the hallway.

More context is at the time I saw this, my oldest son was only one year old, in a cot and couldn't open his door. I also checked him on the camera immediately and he was asleep. This figure was twice his height. I was pregnant with my second son. Our house was built in 1995 and I have some history on the previous occupants if that would help. I used to get a tight chest when I had to walk down the hall at night but not since we've kept the light on.

For context, my twin sister took her own life at 15 years old in 2012. I took this photo shortly after I got my first smart phone. Naturally, I played around with my camera settings and took some flash photos of my dog with the sepia setting on. I didn’t notice the background imagery until weeks later. The face in the image looks a lot like my sister but she looks like she’s crying. And the triangle design along with the orbs are so fascinating to me. It has disturbed me for years. What are your thoughts?

Trigger warning *** this photo is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen.
My brother was in college in Boston, home alone, and felt a presence from his roommates bedroom. He turned around to look and saw a shadow of a person. He quickly snapped this photo and then looked and it was gone.
