With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the season for being spooked out by cheap, plastic decorations someone left in a window. But that doesn’t mean that every creepy situation is just in one’s head and our pattern recognizing brains tell us about danger for a reason.
Someone asked “What was your biggest 'Oh H**l No!' moment where you saw a situation as very creepy or scary?” and people online shared their stories. Be warned, some of these are dark.

One night (early morning, 4 am) I took a friend home after we hung out through the night. Previous to this I was reading a few scary stories and skinwalkers and s**t online and when I drove back down her street to go home a dog comes bounding down the road into view of the one street lamp at a small intersection. I see it out of the corner of my eye, and my tired brain sees this big gray good boy as a humanoid crawling insanely fast on all fours.
I jumped and hit my head on the roof of the car, and nearly veered into a tree before I realized it was just a lone doggo. I took a minute to calm down and drove home.

I had thirty tons of steel die start to tip towards me, then get arrested by a lift chain while teetering at about 30 degrees from straight while making the crane creak horribly. I ran until I was on the other side of the building.

So this has been I don't know like 5 or 6 years. I was having a pretty rough time in life and was staying at a friend's trailer that he just recently moved out of that was basically in between two farm fields and the woods. So at night it's pretty much pitch black and sometimes deer or other critters will make noises. No big deal.
Well one day my friend brings over a box of stuff he wants to store. While storing the stuff he brings out this item that he bought at a local flea market. It was what looked like a hand made model T car that was a music box. The crank on the front would wind and would play music. It was pretty unique. Anyways he set it on the entertainment center and just left it. I didn't think twice about it.
Couple of days later I'm home by myself just playing video games and chilling when all of a sudden the music car from the living room starts playing. Weird I think to myself but after a moment it stops and i forget about it. It's made of metal maybe temperature change or something set of a couple ticks in the gear and it played. A few moments later it plays again. This time longer. I get up and go out to the living room and it's just sitting there playing. Mind you I haven't touched this thing since my friend placed it on the entertainment center. It stops after a moment being in the living room. Creepy I say to myself but once again shrug it off to science or something. End the night no more noise and go to sleep.
That weekend I get off of work super later roughly after 1am and get home super tired and ready to crash. I hope in the shower do my thing and get out. As I'm walking out of the bathroom I hear it. It's just playing the same metallic tune. No way this is just bizarre. I go out to the living room pick it up and fidget with the crank thinking maybe it's just really wound up still and due to being old it hasn't finished unwinding. No luck. It looks by all I could tell it shouldn't be making any noise at all. I set it back down.
As soon as my hand leaves the car it starts again. For no reason. I literally was trying to unwind it I couldn't have wound it. I pick it up again, shake it like a busted you listening for loose parts or anything. Still nothing to indicate it should be playing. At this point im starting to do the whole paranormal weird s**t. I call my friend. I ask him about the car. He says nothing out of the ordinary about it. I tell him it's literally playing with out any reason to. He laughs tells me I'm dumb which i agreed and got off the phone. I decide to call it a night watching some Game Of Thrones, I just got the newest season and was binging it to catch up.
Laying in bed watching tv eye lids are super heavy the music plays again scaring me awake like a bucket of cold water. I'm shivering. The chills I'm feeling are not normal. Something is wrong. I stand up staring at my bedroom door listening to the music. It's the same song but it's different too. There's no reasonable explanation to what begins next. The music stops. I take a step or two toward my bedroom door. BANG!! THE LOUDEST SOUND I EVER HEARD COMES FROM OUTSIDE. BANG! BANG! It's so loud I feel the vibrations in my feet. I leap backwards as far into corner opposite my door as I could. The banging isn't random, almost a rhythm. BANG! BANG! What the f**k is going on. My friend is f*****g with me i know it. I'm so mad i get the courage to run toward my bedroom door. I swing the door open so embarrassed I'm yelling how I'm going to kick his a*s. I turn on the porch light go outside and nothing. No noises. Nothing. I grab my flashlight from the kitchen and shine it outside. No truck, no reasonable explanation. I call my friend mad. Where are you i ask. He is home in bed. The groggy responses made me believe him. It's 4 am by this point. I hang up apologizing and go back inside. Shortly after i crash out.
The very next night I'm returning home from playing cards and a friend's house. It's not very late about 8pm or so. I pull in front of the trailer and immediately stop and get out of the car shocked at what I saw. Literally 20 plus deer standing right outside of my trailer. Buck multiple of them which is weird bucks don't travel together usually. There's does in the mix but they don't notice me. They didn't even react to my headlights or me closing the door to the car. Scared i open my car door and just lay on the horn. Slowly the deer recognize the noise and begin to wonder off. Not running just more wandering. I go inside and just sit on my couch wondering what in the hell I just witnessed.
Later that night at about midnight or so I'm again trying to watch my Game of Thrones. The trailer is lit up like a Christmas tree. At this point sleep isn't happening. I just sit there not paying attention to the tv just waiting. Sure enough the music begins from nowhere. I sat frozen on my bed. It's loud clanks sent shivers down my spine but it's not what I'm truly worried about. The music concludes with a couple of more clanks. BANG! BANG! it's happening again. This isn't real something is f****d up. This isn't right. BANG! I have to just get into my car and go somewhere. BANG! I stand up struggling to make myself move. I slowly move toward my bedroom door again. No confidence this time pure unadulterated fear. Each step slowly moving me toward the door. When I get to the door the music plays again. It's faster. It's not even music at this point it's just clank after clank. I take a step back just listening. What is this. I go back to the door and just listen almost pressing my face against the door. Just as I place my ear on the door the music stops. I pull back and just stare at my door. All of a sudden. BANG! OH MY GOD, IT'S NOT OUTSIDE ANYMORE! BANG! BANG! IT'S MY DOOR! The door shakes violently with each bang. There's no lock. Oh my god they could just come in here. I run to the door and squeeze the k**b as hard as I can. BANG BANG BANG! It goes on for what feels like forever. Eventually it subsides. I stand up and literally push everything I have against the door. I sit there until morning. I checked around the trailer doors locked windows closed and intact. I'm not sure why I never called the cops. I'm not sure why who or whatever was banging at my door never tried to open it. I don't know. All I know is I took the car to my friends house that morning put it in his hands and told him to never bring it near me again. To this day he swears he's never had anything odd happen. I don't necessarily believe it to be something supernatural or whatever but it scared me to the point I'll never live near a rural area again. Deer creep me out now to this day. I have a daughter now and her mother anytime she wants to go bargain shopping or to garage sales I always think I'll see that metallic model T music car just sitting on a table. It scares me even now.
