Humans, unlike, say, our furry friends, struggle to see in the dark. We also have pretty active and imaginative brains. This combination ensures that when we hear something we can’t see, particularly during a vulnerable moment (like when you’re in your pajamas), our brains immediately jump to wild and terrifying conclusions.
We’ve gathered stories from people who were dramatically awoken by something scary in the night. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote the spookiest ones and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments down below.

Daughter had this Minnie Mouse baby doll that crawled on all fours when you touched a button on its back. Wife and I woke up at 2 am to the sound of the dolls creepy laugh. Went out to the living room and the doll was walking straight into the corner. Each time it stopped it would just start right over again. The button wasn't broken or anything, so i'm not sure what happened. Donated it.

The loud sound of breaking glass from downstairs. Husband armed himself and crept downstairs.
No intruder. One of the cats knocked over a centerpiece that exploded all over the floor.

The panicked shrieks of my mother. My father was having a heart attack.
EDIT: He's fine now guys, thanks for you concerns. :)
This was about 9 years ago. I never want to hear my mother scream like that again though.
