• From weird men lurking in your basement, to close calls with serial killers, the Planet
Dolan crew re-enact some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the creepiest
thing you’ve ever experienced
I’m Danger Dolans Mysterious brother, Zaraganba, and today I’ll be your narrator
10 – Tat8888 Pringle When Pringle was 13, he and some friends were
hanging out in his basement when suddenly they heard a loud bang coming from the water
boiler room. He assumed it was a mouse trap going off so he picked up a plastic bag and
some gloves to get rid of the rat but when they opened the door there was no mouse to
be found. Pringle decided to get his Dad to investigate, so he went into the boiler room
with a flashlight. As soon as his Dad flashed the torch into the dark room, he slammed the
door shut and told Pringle to call the police. It turns out there was a man living in the
boiler room. No one knows how long he had been living there.
9 - Storm669 SpinalPalm When Spinal Palm was younger, he was walking
home from a friend’s house one night. It was just hitting dusk and almost all sunlight
had disappeared. A street light above him flickered off, and he started to hear footsteps
behind him. Naturally, he turned around to see who it was. What he saw was a black hooded
figure, but he couldn't make out a face because he was quite a distance away. He felt uneasy,
but continued on. The closer he got to home though, the louder these footsteps got. Almost
as if they were coming from inside his head. He turned around once more to see the figure
standing right behind him. He ran to his front door and slammed it shut. When he looked out
of his window to see the man, there was nothing to be found.
8 – Peridotsugem Melissa When Melissa was a child, her older brothers
used to tell her about an old man named Danny who lived nearby. Apparently Danny brutally
murdered his parents and now lives by himself. One day Melissa and her brothers were walking
to school when they spotted Danny coming towards them. Her brother told her not to panic, but
she was too scared and hid in the bushes. When she thought he was gone, she left the
bushes, but she was wrong and heard a loud growl behind her. She ran home crying. Many
years later when she was driving home, she looked out the window and saw Danny standing
on the side of the road in the rain, staring directly at her. She sped home and never looked
back.
7 – IlyDangurDulen Dolan and Gooby When they were teenagers, Danger Dolan and
his girlfriend Gooby were playing with a Ouija board. Nothing spooky happened and they got
tired so they went to bed. But around 4am, Dolan heard his bedroom door being opened.
He went to wake up Gooby but he realized she wasn't there. He laughed and called out, "Very
funny, Gooby. I can see you in the corner." He could see a black outline of a person in
the corner of his room standing there. It started moving closer to him. It moved right
up to his face and he could feel it's breath on his cheek. After what seemed like forever,
the figure turned around and walked out of the room. A few seconds later, Gooby came
back in the room with a glass of water, confused why Dolan looked like he’d seen a ghost.
6 – Poisonxo Hellbent When Hellbent was 7 years old, he had a horrible
nightmare. He saw himself in a dream, but he wasn't able to interact, he was motionless
and just sat there with his eyes wide open. He watched himself get up and grab a knife
from the kitchen and started to slice his own arm. The cuts got deeper and deeper, and
what came out of his skin wasn't blood. Maggots and bugs crawled out and, as he kept cutting
himself, he turned around and faced himself. His face was missing and you could see his
eyeballs dripping out of his skull. The maggots crawled their way towards him and they grew
larger and uglier. He woke up screaming in terror. Needless to say he didn’t get much
sleep for the rest of the night.
5 – NidaNidaRos GhostToast A few years ago, when GhostToast was younger,
there was a string of nights where he could hear someone or something inside his closet.
For hours it would scratch and bang on the door from the inside. He was too scared to
check what it was so he stayed up until it went away or until he unwillingly passed out
from fear. Every morning he would check the closet but nothing had moved and there weren't
any scratch marks on the door. It would happen at the same time each night for several weeks,
and then one night – there was nothing. It was gone. He hasn’t heard it since then,
and hopefully won’t hear it again.
4 – TheStigUSACousin Slapped Ham Slapped Ham once set up a secret camera in
his house because he wanted to see what his dog does when nobody’s home. He was watching
the live footage from his laptop when he noticed something weird. In the video, his dog was
whimpering in the corner. He was trying to figure out what he was scared of when a figure
walked past the camera. Nobody was supposed to be in his house. The figure appeared a
few more times before disappearing. When Slapped Ham got home that night he didn’t find anyone
in his house. In fact, the only thing that was missing was his toothbrush.
3 – toxic_glow Doopie Doopie was locked out of her house one night
so she went to every window in her house and tried to open it. None of them budged. She
started to get really annoyed, so when she saw the garage window was open, she figured
all she needed to do was remove the screen and climb in. She balanced on a chair to reach
the window and started taking the screen off when she heard footsteps. She paused and looked
in and saw a shadowy figure standing in the middle of the garage facing away from her.
She tried to take a step back and of course, fell straight to the ground. She was pretty
freaked out by what she saw and there was nothing she could do but cry and wait for
her parents to come home for two long hours.
2 – TheWolvesSpeak Honeybits and Emojie Honeybits and Emojie once went for a walk
to a local nature park when they came across a man whose eyes were almost completely black.
They tried not to stare and kept walking. Honeybits noticed from the corner of her eye
that he was following them, getting closer and closer. She grabbed Emojie’s arm and
yelled ‘RUN!’ They hid in some trees, until the man was out of sight. The next day
Emojie sent Honeybits a message telling her to turn on the news. It turns out the man
following them was an escaped murderer who was caught only a few hours after they saw
him in the park. They were very lucky to be alive.
1 – NARRATOR’S STORY In high school, some friends and I decided
to visit the school at midnight. We jammed a door open with a brick at the end of the
day so we could get in that night. We snuck in and kept the door jammed open, just in
case. We were poking around in a gym storage cupboard when, after a few minutes, we heard
a door slam shut. It was the door we jammed open. We heard footsteps approaching and we
freaked out and hid. The school didn’t have any security that we knew of. Those footsteps
came right toward us, like they knew where we were; my heart was pounding in my chest.
As it got closer we could hear a man mumbling to himself –sounded angry and erratic. The
steps passed by and turned a corner. As soon as they did we ran, hard as we could, and
we never looked back.
Huge thanks for the folks over on our Planet Dolan subreddit for submitting their stories.
