• From creepy abandoned houses to the deep backwoods, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact
some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the scariest places we’ve ever been.
I’m Hellbent and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by Joey_Skylynx Grgak While growing up in Arizona, Grgak and his
friend, Cid, were always interested in collecting gemstones, so they would go to nearby ravines
to look around and have a good time. One day, while they were going up a ravine
near their apartments, Grgak and Cid came across a drain pipe which was roughly three
meters wide. Of course, they decided that it would be an excellent spot to find gold
and quartz gemstones. As they made their way down there, they saw
a small clearing with very high grass. It was summer, so they were unsure if there would
be rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, or other desert critters that would be in their way. As they
walked to the drainpipe, Grgak and Cid heard some rustling in a nearby bush and were struck
with fear, unsure what was nearby. Within seconds of hearing that noise, they
saw whatever it was pushing the grass down as it approached. They knew it was only a
matter of time before it was on top of them, so Grgak and Cid bolted as fast as they could
into the drainpipe and out the other end. What was scary wasn't so much what was in
the field of grass, but rather when they finally got into the tunnel they kept hearing the
noise of multiple people yelling and screaming in a ghastly manner.
When they made it to the other end, Grgak and Cid saw that the drainpipe lead them about
half a kilometer away from their complex. When they turned around to see if anything
was following them, they saw a dark shadow sitting at the entrance of the tunnel, before
a gust of wind picked it up and it blew away.
Number 9 was submitted by PitFiend007 MKyleM MKyleM’s grandpa lives in Tennessee, out
in the country in the mountains, where a lot of battles were fought in the Civil War. He
took MKyleM and his older brother along on a tour of one particular house. He said the
house was built back in the 1830's and was renovated and remodeled, but eventually abandoned
in the 1930's, and now is just a decaying ruin. He told MKyleM that back in the Civil
War, a group of Union scavengers came up to the house in the night. At the time, a young
woman lived there alone. The half dozen soldiers each took turns raping her, and then knocked
her unconscious and burned the house with her inside. The house was rebuilt, with the
only original part left being the basement. It changed ownership a couple of times, but
MKyleM’s grandpa told him no one has ever lived there for more than a couple of years.
So MKyleM, his grandpa, and his brother went inside, and fortunately it was broad daylight.
He was immediately struck by a sense that he shouldn't be in there. They explored the
house, but MKyleM couldn't get the feeling out of his mind until he came across the door
to the cellar. He wanted to look like a tough explorer in front of his tough-as-nails grandpa,
so he opened it. It was pitch black. He was suddenly hit with an overwhelming sense of
absolute fear and panic. MKyleM was silent, and he swore he could hear slow footsteps
coming up the rotting wooden stairs. He shouted, "Oh fuck no!" He slammed the door and locked
it. After calming himself down, he heard something behind the cellar door, pounding it violently.
MKyleM saw it shake, then ran out of the house.
Number 8 was submitted by allyourbasearebelon Melissa
When Melissa was 17 and her sister was 12, they went hiking in the woods with their family
dog in rural Missouri. They didn't get very deep into the woods when they found what looked
to be an abandoned playground. The place was in bad shape, the equipment was rusty and
falling apart, and nature was taking over. The whole place had a "you don't belong here"
vibe. After a couple of minutes Melissa and her sister heard a loud bang come from what
was left of some monkey bars. Neither of them really remember what happened afterwards.
All Melissa could remember was a massive headache, and then waking up outside the woods sprawled
out on the ground with her still-unconscious sister clinging to her arm. Melissa had to
carry her sister back home.
Number 7 was submitted by aaleem912 Dolan One time, Dolan’s local youth group hiked
to a haunted house that was owned by Count de Charles Lopinot, a rich slave master who
ran a cocoa estate, who also had a horse farm and a graveyard for his slaves and his dead
wife. During the night, they heard a whisper in French and frequent horse cries, so the
youth group went to see what was creating the noise. When they heard the whispering
stop, which was by a cave where the alleged fire woman – or soucouyant – lived, they
didn't find anything. Heading back to camp at 3 am, they saw a quick flash of fire on
the hillside. Then what seemed to be the silhouette of a man on a horse yelling in French at them
on the hillside for about what seemed like 2 seconds. As Dolan and his group got to the
top, there was nothing. In the morning as they broke down camp, one of Dolan’s friends
had a huge purple mark on his back and his tent was destroyed.
Number 6 was submitted by xXHailey_The_BugXx Emojie
There’s an abandoned house next to Emojie’s house that him and his friends decided to
break into because they were bored. As soon as they walked in, it was filled with porcelain
dolls. This was already fucked up enough, but when they explored the rooms, there was
the skeleton of an animal in a bedroom. After they saw this, Emojie and his friends decided
to get the hell out of there.
Number 5 was submitted by skyshadow1 Honeybits The scariest place Honeybits has ever been
is a house on the top of a hill in the middle of the woods. There was a story that a women
who did witchcraft lived there. Being the idiot she was, Honeybits went. When she got
there it smelled like dead animal. There were old, broken toys everywhere, and the windows
were all shattered. She looked down the hall and saw something hunched on its back… walking
towards her! Honeybits screamed and ran all the way home. She had nightmares about that
place and doesn’t go to those woods anymore.
Number 4 was submitted by Tidusdowthelas Pringle The spookiest place Pringle ever went was
in the backwoods of Camelback, Pennsylvania. He was eight when him and his family went
to investigate an old site. As his dad disturbed the soil and leaf litter, Pringle heard a
sharp scream, "Get Out!", and saw a shadowy figure with a red aura on the second floor
of the ransacked building. He asked his mother, “Who’s that figure in the window?” She
looked, then asked him, "What figure? There's no one there?!" Even now... after fifteen
years and a better understanding of the world, Pringle doesn’t know who or what the spectre
was.
Number 3 was submitted by BigG5566 Andiemations Andiemations and her two friends were exploring
the countryside of where they lived and ran into an old theater. Without any thought,
they decided to go in and check it out. When they stepped inside, everything was still
there. They walked into the actual place where they showed the movies. When they went in,
they were in shock to see a person standing on top of the stage, staring at them. They
thought it was just a prop, so they went closer to it. As they did, it started moving closer
to them. Andiemations and her friends ran out as fast as they could and never went back.
Number 2 was submitted by Xxx_DankMemester_xxX Legna
Every Christmas, Legna’s family host a gigantic Christmas party at a gigantic church, and
usually they hand out presents and food. Sometimes Legna and the other kids would play hide and
seek, going up as far as two stories. Above there is a dark mansion-like room no one uses.
They use to hear growling and gagging noises. One night, Legna and his friends, Ladybot
and Tolop, had the nerve to hide up there, and it was fine at first. It was dark but
nothing happened for the first five minutes… until they heard a little growl and some tapping.
Legna said quietly, "What the hell was that?" His friends were too scared to move. They
knew they weren’t alone, and whoever was there was NOT friendly. Then they heard their
full names being called! They didn’t move, and Tolop said, "I’m too young to die..."
Then they heard loud pawing at a window and, to their horror, saw an awful-looking figure.
They screamed, then ran out of there before hearing the window break. They ran down two
flights of stairs before seeing their parents and passing out. Later when they told someone,
the person said that a depressed man had hung himself at that window
in 1901.
