• From seeing skeletal figures to encountering crazed kidnappers, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact
some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the creepiest things we’ve experienced.
I’m Nixxiom and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 8 was submitted by Taliats Doopie Doopie has actually experienced sleep paralysis
and thinks it is the most disturbing thing she has ever been through.
She was 15 the first time it happened, when she was stuck to her bed, staring upwards.
There was a dark purple mass on the ceiling, made up of faces and arms.
The arms were reaching out to grab her, but the faces were the worst.
The faces were screaming in agony, as if they were being tortured.
Their screams were very distorted.
What's worse is eventually it faded out of memory, until about 3 months ago when it happened
again, the exact same hallucination, but by then Doopie knew a lot more about sleep paralysis
so it never disturbed her as much, but that doesn't negate how much of a negative effect
the first one had on her when she was 15.
But Doopie can never shake the feeling she gets sometimes, as if that shadowy mass wasn't
just her brain being a scumbag… maybe it is something haunting her, trying to add her
to its mass.
Number 7 was submitted by The_non_gamer Tolop When Tolop was little he used to live in the
poor side of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
He was six years old at the time and his mom went to work and his older brother went to
the store.
He was sitting in his room watching TV when he heard a tap on the window, and then on
his door.
He never took notice until it happened three more times.
Tolop was getting scared.
He went to find the phone, then saw a grown man with a terrifying smile.
He looked dead at Tolop, who was paralyzed with fear.
Then the man ran to the backyard and cut the power and, as a little kid, he felt like the
world was going to end for him in about five seconds.
After the power was cut Tolop heard the window smash in the laundry room.
As soon as he heard that, Tolop ran so fast up the stairs that he was practically tripping
on his own feet.
He ran in his room and hid under the bed.
The man looked for him in all the rooms, cursing and saying he will kill him if he finds him.
Then he went into Tolop’s room and was laughing like a crazy person.
Tolop was crying and wished he would never find him... but the unthinkable happened and
the man grabbed his leg and dragged him out from under the bed.
The man held Tolop by the neck, who then kicked him.
The man dropped Tolop, who hopped out the window.
When he landed, he sprained his ankle and limped to the neighbor’s house where he
called the police, telling them everything that happened.
When they came his mom was crying and was happy that he was ok.
The police never found the man.
Number 6 was submitted by ZipperozicReddit Andiemations
Andiemations was in her bed, staring at the door, just about to sleep.
A tall, blue skeletal figure in tattered clothes slid through the doorway.
She looked at it and buried her head in the covers in fear.
When she looked back it was still there, but closer.
On instinct, Andiemations covered her head again.
She wondered if covering her face had incited it to move towards her, so she did it again.
When she removed the blanket, it wasn't near Andiemations’s bed... it was on it.
Its dead eyes stared deep into her soul, and from this distance, she saw every detail on
its face.
The main thing was that it actually was a skeleton, with ripped clothing, and chains
around its wrists that floated about.
Andiemations flinched, closing her eyes.
She told herself that everything was over.
She opened her eyes and it was gone.
Andiemations could only assume that it was over.
No more paranormal experiences...
but, unfortunately, they still happen to this day.
Number 5 was submitted by Alyssatiny8386 Pringle Pringle was 6 or 7 when he lived in Texas
and had his room right next to his mom and dad’s.
He always had nightmares about the man in the wall.
One night, Pringle woke up screaming and then saw his dad in the doorway with a knife, but
he was just staring at the wall.
When Pringle looked over, he saw the man, who was very tall and all black with a weird
crown or something on his head.
After that, Pringle screamed and started crying, then his dad walked into the kitchen and put
the knife away.
Then he went back to bed, so Pringle ran back into his room again but the man was still
there, standing by the closest.
Pringle let out the loudest scream and his mom came in with a gun and asked what was
wrong.
He told her that the man in the wall tried to hurt him.
The next day at the table, he asked his dad why he had the knife and was just standing
at the doorway to his room.
He had no memory of this, and asked Pringle if he was dreaming.
He told his dad the whole story.
Now Pringle is 13 and has a little brother who wakes up screaming sometimes with the
same nightmares.
Number 4 was submitted by VaultBoy0619 GhostToast About 6 or 7 years ago, GhostToast and his
family – mom, dad, and older brother – were visiting Honolulu, Hawaii.
Well, at one of the tourist stops that him and his family went to, GhostToast’s older
brother noticed a WWII bunker up the hill next to the stop.
They asked their dad if they could go check it out and he said they could.
When GhostToast and his brother made it to the bunker, the door had been ripped off and
was inside.
The bunker had a small room, then a hall followed by a larger room with no lights, so they used
his brother’s iPhone screen as a light.
There was a lot of trash like fast food bags and shopping bags.
In Honolulu there are a lot of homeless people but they usually sleep in tents at public
parks.
They began exploring around until GhostToast found the person that lived there.
It looked just like some tags but when he came closer it stood up.
Before they could do anything, the man said, "Hello kids, do you want some sweets"?
That's when GhostToast noticed the shiny thing that he thought was a knife in his shirt pocket.
GhostToast and his brother ran as fast as they could out of that bunker.
Before they could get out of the bunker, GhostToast slipped on some trash and saw that the homeless
man was running after them.
They both made it out of the bunker safe, except for the bruised knee when GhostToast
fell.
His brother explained frantically to their parents what happened.
The police arrested the man for attempted kidnapping and was sent away.
One of the officers told his father that the man also had a warrant for attempted rape.
GhostToast is about to graduate high school and his brother is done with college, but
they still haven't forgotten that memory.
Number 3 was submitted by finallywon Dolan’s brother
Last year, Dolan’s brother had a long day at work but couldn’t sleep.
At about 3 am, he decided to try to nod off.
It took a little while until he got to sleep, but maybe an hour in he woke up after having
a nightmare.
Dolan’s brother woke up to the image of what looked like his mother, who had passed
away about three years prior.
She was standing at the edge of his bed, but her head was the head of a large boar, sewn
on by razor wire, blood seeping from the stitching.
Dolan’s brother tried to make a noise but couldn't.
Suddenly, the thing opened its mouth and let out a half human, half pig scream that made
him go cold.
He couldn’t move, breathe, or do anything but stare in horror.
He then snapped out of it, and his fiancée was shaking him, as it turned out that Dolan’s
brother was talking in his sleep.
This was not surprising as he often had nightmares.
What surprised him was that his older brother, who was about twenty-eight at the time, called
and told him about the dream he had had, which was exactly like his, and that the only difference
was that "it" said something to him…
"Help your brother."
It still freaks Dolan’s brother out.
Number 2 was submitted by ejiseyeless Melissa There was this one time Melissa went to Sri
Lanka for vacation.
She went with her mother, father, 2 siblings, and a friend from school.
It was the first day in Sri Lanka and she went to the beach with her mother for a walk,
since Melissa lived in the city her entire life.
They were looking up at the sky since they could see galaxies and a ton of stars.
It was really dark since it was a small island civilization.
Then, suddenly, Melissa felt something wet touch her middle, ring, and index fingers.
As she jumped she looked to her left since that's where she felt the mysterious touching.
Melissa looked at the bush beside her and saw a pair of glowing eyes looking at her
for a split second, then it ran away.
She never saw it again and still has no idea what it was.
