we think we're gonna call this an
episode of the infographics Creepshow
the very mention of a ghost in some
places can chill the bones a poll taken
a few years back cited by the atlantic
revealed 42 percent of americans and 52
percent of the british were still ghost
believers while head over to places like
china japan thailand and cambodia and
you'll find a very large part of the
population filled they are living
amongst the undead each and every day
whether folkloric tales of years gone by
or campsite legends about headless axe
men preying on couples making out in the
woods there's nothing like a good old
ghost story to get the hairs on your
neck standing on end
here's a few of the scariest internet
ghost stories we found online for your
spooky pleasure are they real or just
tall tales let us know in the comments
section the cabin in the woods this is
not likely the first time you've heard a
cabin in the woods story but we found
this one to be a compelling tale the
story is of a young man and a woman
living in California who decided to
visit the woman's family cabin in a
place called Pikes Peak in Colorado they
planned on hiking and just taking some
time away from the city it was day four
of their visit when they decided to
leave but then things turned bad for
them he writes that he believes he isn't
going anywhere and could be stuck there
for the winter although they have food
sources wood to burn and patchy Internet
we feel isolated I will try to respond
to comments but the internet dips out
for hours at a time up here he writes
saying that a massive snowstorm
prevented them from leaving and his old
Toyota Corolla is basically now a block
of ice then the weird stuff happens
after going for a hike the couple
returned to find a dreamcatcher hanging
outside the cabin in a tree made from
twigs it was about three feet across
they didn't touch it having watched
enough horror movies to know that that's
how you get cursed that night they both
heard a noise outside like the sound of
twigs breaking they weren't too worried
knowing how much wildlife is in the area
nonetheless he took a tactical
flashlight outside nothing was there he
sounds light-hearted in the next
paragraph we stayed in all day on Friday
and just cuddled and hung out and played
some of the board games we brought and
some of the Super Nintendo games they
had in the cabin Donkey Kong Country 2 I
have considered stealing because it's
the greatest game ever
then later that night they heard more
noises he didn't go outside this time
but at around 1:00 a.m. his girlfriend
said she could hear voices
the man listened carefully and thought
he could hear the sound of a man crying
but he wasn't sure as it could have just
been the wind playing tricks
the couple snuggled up and were soon
asleep again then at 4:45 those noises
were much louder this time startling the
couple it was a man for sure but he
seemed to be speaking a foreign language
his voice frail as if he were calling
for help now knowing what they were
hearing they called a park ranger and
recounted the story to him the Ranger
said he'd come by as soon as he could no
Ranger turned up that night or the next
morning that night the girlfriend woke
up shaking crying hysterically it was a
dream a dream where she was trapped
outside and in it someone was following
her I've never seen her so afraid throat
the man then she slept again only to
wake up crying that man outside is my
granddad said his girlfriend he died
four years ago as crazy as it felt he
went outside to look for this dead
grandfather there was no one there that
night he heard a voice which awakened
him this time it was a woman's voice I
am a reasonable skeptical sometimes
arrogant agnostic but I'm telling you
the voice sounded exactly like my
mother's wrote the guy his mom was alive
and well in California but he was sure
it was her he heard he went outside
wrapped in a blanket and found a trail
where it seems someone had walked around
the cabin I shouted mom or who's there
or who are you at each time the voice
receded further into the woods I'm
pretty certain it was trying to coax me
deeper and deeper into the forest away
from the cabin he wrote days later his
girlfriend fell sick she was convinced
they were surrounded by something evil
and that it was that witch that was
making her ill he heard more noises he
wrote some movements spotted just behind
the tree line at dusk but could be elk
deer etc couldn't see much keeping all
the curtains closed windows locked
furniture in front of the front and back
door that's the last post he made one
comment by a man said he is Navajo and
he believed he been surrounded by a
Chien D an evil spirit the dreamcatcher
had been put there by someone trying to
protect them a court
to him the broadcast you were alone in
your bedroom the rest of the house is
sleeping you live in a small town it's
quiet outside and you just hear that
intermittent sound of each channel as
you mindlessly surf you then stop taking
it back as one channel shows what looks
like your former school janitor a creepy
man you've never liked because he always
used to stare at you and say hiya fella
in a way that was too close for a
stranger he starts reading from what
could be a teleprompter hiya fella he
says in that same way I'm just here to
inform you that the forecast is not good
then the channel goes back to someone
trying to sell some kind of super sharp
kitchen knives you keep surfing thinkin
you must have just had one of those
microsleeps and dreamed it it is the
early hours of the morning and you're
retired then that same channel gets
interrupted again this time it's a
black-and-white cartoon of what looks
like a typical American family set
around the dining table you then notice
the two kids look like you and your
brother but when you're only about eight
years old the woman your mother for sure
is crying she's sobbing really hard and
even though you had the volume turned
down
it seems very loud the man your father
says to her in a reassuring way it's not
going to be okay darling you whisper to
yourself no you mean it's going to be
okay not it's not going to be okay and
then it seems like the entire family
hear you they all look at you through
the TV which makes you feel very
uncomfortable they don't say anything
just stare that was the story from a man
about something that happened to him
while he was in college
the morning when he awoke he learned the
distressing news that his mother had
died of a ruptured brain aneurysm that
night in her bed maybe he'd been warned
by the spirits perhaps he may have been
able to help her Bloody Mary a
fourteen-year-old boy is not well at all
he has a bad case of strep throat but
his mom allows him to stay over at a
friend's house where a few of his
buddies are having a sleepover like a
lot of kids that age they decided to get
up too spooky stuff and in the absence
of Ouija boards or satanic props they
decide to play the Bloody Mary game if
you can call it a game it's simple
enough all the groups should stand in
front of a mirror and everyone say the
words Bloody Mary three times and that's
just what happened with this young boy
and his friends no goes
appeared no household objects moved by
themselves nothing they went to bed and
went to school the next day
although the boy with the sore throat
was kept home as he was feeling worse
then some days later still at home in
bed he started feeling something
crawling all over him it was almost
ticklish like fine fingers caressing his
body he called his mother and she said
it just might be his slight temperature
but then later that day it happened
again
but this time the fingers felt stronger
and to his shock he thought he saw the
white indents made by nails sometime
later his mom heard an almighty scream
from upstairs she found her son curled
into a ball in the bathroom that wasn't
me in the mirror he said four days he
experienced terrifying hallucinations of
a woman body tremors and the feeling of
being touched talked to while he was
half asleep his parents consulted a
doctor who told them that it was very
likely pediatric autoimmune
neuropsychiatric disorder which can be
brought on by strep throat and can cause
very realistic hallucinations it said
the boy recovered but not quite
he partly believes to this day he was
visited by ghosts after summoning Bloody
Mary it said he's never been the same
the dream its 347 a.m. you know that
because you've just been woken up by
your six-year-old son he's standing at
the side of your bed just staring at you
at your side is your wife sleeping she
hasn't been disturbed by this ghostly
looking figure standing right at the
side of the bed what's wrong you asked
ahead of that dream replies your son ah
you say this has happened before do you
want to get in here with Daddy
you can sleep next to me you say no
Danny you're now more fully awake and
you can see the utter terror written all
over your son's face it's okay just
snuggle up here you say no daddy is the
reply again why not buddy in my dream
daddy when I came in here and told you
about the dream that thing wearing
mommy's skin set up your paralyzed your
son seems entranced now looking over you
the phone a single mother didn't have an
easy life having to hold down a job and
bring up her young son she occasionally
found help through her friends often
babysitting when she wanted to have at
least one night out in a month now and
again those nights were a date with a
guy her ex had left her pretty much just
after the child was born and now he was
5 a long time to go without any love
interest the problem was if she did have
a date It was as if her son knew he was
jealous and he
naughty and difficult all night with the
babysitter so much so that they'd often
called the boy creepy just about
everyone knew this except the mother as
her friends just hadn't picked up the
courage to tell her that the young boy
had some problems he not only been
naughty
but he'd sneak up to them from behind
and bite them somehow when they turned
around he'd be standing a few feet away
sometimes he just broke things once he
even put cat droppings in a person's
coke she didn't drink it and scolded the
boy for what he had done why would you
do that she asked he did it the boy
replied could he be any freakier she
thought not surprisingly getting someone
to look after the kid for just one night
got harder and harder her friends kind
of feeling sorry for their lonely buddy
made up lame excuses rather than telling
her the truth the culmination of this
led to a resentment in some ways of the
boy she loved him but she was tied down
too much he had no idea why her friends
were always busy when she wanted some
help
but she didn't have an inkling that it
might have something to do with her son
she seemed rather smug that she could
not go out and had to spend every night
of her life with him that her life was
him in a way I love you he would tell
her but often at strange times like he'd
just come up behind her when she was
doing the dishes and say without names
trace of real affection it looked more
like obsession I love you or sometimes I
love you mommy she wasn't quite sure how
something so nice could make her feel so
uncomfortable it had always been a
mystery to her why her boyfriend had
just left when she had the child he
always been responsible and he'd been a
good person every day throughout her
pregnancy things suddenly changed though
he'd been quiet for a week or two after
the child was born later he barely spoke
and made excuses to be out of the house
and then one evening she returned home
to find her son in his cot her boyfriend
was nowhere to be seen she was
incredibly angry of course at this total
dereliction of duty just the leaving the
kid in the house days passed and he
never returned never called never sent a
message his social media pages weren't
updated but she was still later by his
friends that he was alive and well in a
town in Arizona which was on the other
side of the u.s. how could he be so
selfish but time passed and she tried to
forget him one night she was determined
to go out she'd met a guy whom she
really liked and nothing would stop her
she managed to get someone from her work
at the clothes store to come and babysit
some
and never babysat for her before she
knew her son was a bit different but he
was just a kid he was harmless he was
enraged though about his mother going
out with a guy you should not leave
weren't her son why she asked because he
doesn't want you to leave replied her
son she thought this might be some kind
of problem from not having a father that
he pined in some ways for a father he
never really knew who was he though at
that point she just gave into him and
cancelled her date then evening as the
to watch TV her son asked her if he
could use the phone she said okay but
just for games don't call numbers and
don't send messages she said the son
agreed later she fell asleep waking up
shocked to see your son wasn't in the
room she quickly went upstairs and was
relieved to see him in bed her phone
lying right beside him he had only gone
and taken photos all around the house
she kept scrolling It was as if he had
been taking pictures of just empty space
so she just kept deleting until she came
to one photograph a picture of her lying
on the couch her heart skipped a beat
though as in that picture her son was
lying next to her with his arms wrapped
around her shoulders so he could just
about make out some kind of shadow on
the wall she never left her son at home
again but what also never left was her
intense fear of him got any good ghost
