If youre watching this video because you think its going to be Scary facts about the Home
Alone movie - youre gonna be sorely disappointed.
If, however, you want to hear more stories from real people about times when they were
alone in a house and mind meltingly terrifying things happened to them - youve come to the
right place.
My name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Home Alone Stories - Part 2.
Starting off at number 10 we have Great Grandma.This one comes from KaptainKershaw.
He said that one day he answered the phone to hear an elderly woman calmly and loudly
say to him -Tell Essie it is time to come home now- … he kept telling her that she
had the wrong number but the old woman was adamant that he passed along the message.
The only part of the message he understood was Essie - Essie was the childhood nickname
of his Grandmother - but nobody had used it for decades.
Two hours after the phone call, he got a call from his Grandmothers assisted living home
telling him that his Grandmother had passed away in her sleep.
Her mother had died when she was just 16.
Suddenly, it clicked.
He believes that the voice on the phone was that of his Great Grandmother, telling him,
to tell her daughter, that after all these years, it was time to come home …
Moving on to number 9 we have The Count[b].
This one came from Reddit where a girl said that she has a sleep talk recorder app on
her phone.
The app is just meant to be a bit of fun to listen to anything you might blurt out in
your sleep.
It only starts recording if it detects sound and usually she finds its just clips of her
rolling around in bed.
One night, she was home alone.
Her parents were out and her brother was at a friends house.
She woke up and saw that her app had a new recording.
She listened to it and heard what sounded like a man with a German or eastern European
accent say -Mmm, one two- … now, when I first read this, I wasnt too sure about it
but then I found that she provided a link to the actual recording.
So - here it is: CLIP.
What did you think of that?
Do you think that sounds like a teenage girl?
Whats your explanation?
Let me know.
Please let me know.
Thats creepy.
Next up at number 8 we have The Artist.
This one was posted to Reddit.
A girl said that during summer 5 years ago, she was home alone one night when she heard
the doorbell ring.
She opened the door to see a man stood there holding a large square bag.
He started talking about how he's an artist and was going to open up an art gallery soon.
He told her he wanted to sell her some paintings for a lower price to get things started.
She wanted to be polite and so she let him open the bag and show her the paintings.
After the first few - she realised they were all nude, actually, they were beyond nude.
The first one was impressionist, the second was more photorealistic and graphic.
The paintings became more grotesque and twisted with each one.
Some contained gore and beastility.
The man stood there flicking through them and grinning at her.
At one point he stepped towards her - she blurted out that she didnt have enough money
to pay for them and slammed the door.
She peeked out of the window a while later and he was still stood there.
She shouted out that she was going to call the police and it was only then that the artist
left …
Next up at number 7 we have The Note.
When Reddit user Em-Soup was 19, her parents and brother went away for the weekend leaving
her home alone.
She had had a pretty rough night and was very drink.
For some reason, she decided to cut her long hair in a drunken effort to reinvent herself
because she was moving away for university the following week.
When she finished cutting the hair up to her neck she stepped out of the bathroom to find
a note in the hallway that said -I was going to leave you a note but I see that you are
here- … she walked to her bedroom, opened the door and there, standing in the middle
of the room was a guy with hair over his face - he grinned.
She freaked out and began screaming, and then she recognised him.
It was a guy she used to date 3 years before until he ran away from home.
It turned out he heard she was moving away and just wanted to talk - he didnt hurt or
threaten her in anyway - but she found out 2 years later that he had been institutionalised
with schizophrenia …
Moving on to number 6 we have The Angry Man.
This one comes from user Not A Sugar Baby But OK.
He said that his family home lies on a 200 year old street.
Its a popular area for toursits and quite often they found tourists standing outside
the window, trying to get a peek inside their old house.
Its annoying and creepy but he got used to it.
One night he went upstairs to go to bed and found a guy man standing in front of the window.
The windows are the original casings so theyve got heavy wooden interior shutters that they
close at night.
He closed one side because at that point he was tired and he didnt care if this strange
man could see their upstairs living room.
Then, he went to close the other shutter and the man gave him a furious look.
It was a twisted, evil expression that was dripping with rage and venom.
He was so shocked that it stopped him in his tracks.
They stared at each other in silence for a few moments before the strangers face changed
suddenly to a creepy, leering smile.
Then, he walked down the street.
The story teller says he got up to check the locks to the house about 8 times over the
course of that night …
Next up at number 5 we have The Beast.
This one comes from Reddit user I Am The Cage.
She did a great first person telling of this story and this is how it goes.
-I was house-sitting for my parents, who live in the actual middle of nowhere.
The closest neighbor they have is about a mile away.
My parents had taken their dogs with them on vacation to the beach, so it was an eerie
and silent house to be in.
It was the kind of quiet that you wouldnt want to turn off the tv, or you would be faced
with nothing but the eerie sound of your breath and footsteps.
On one completely pitch black night, void of any moon, I stepped on to the back porch
for a quick smoke before bed.
As I reached the bottom of the steps, I pulled out a cigarette from the pack, and fumbled
for my lighter.
As I flicked the wheel, the glow of the small flame briefly lit up my surroundings.
In that split second of brief illumination, it became apparent I was not alone.
In the few seconds it took my brain to process the dimly lit image, I realized that I had
just momentarily seen some MASSIVE brown haired, four legged beast eating from one of the dog's
bowls by the steps leading from the porch into the house.
And I do mean MASSIVE.
Twice the size of me, at least.
Covered in some dirty brown human-like hair from front to back.
I didn't make out its head, but I knew from the glimpse of it's torso that is what something
I've never seen in the wild.
As I stood there in fear from what was standing not three feet away from me, unseen in the
blackness of night, it lets out some kind of deep guttural grunt, and plods off into
the woods, shaking the porch as it runs away, leaving me scared and shaking in the pitch-black
dark with a still unlit cigarette hanging from my mouth.- … it turns out that the
beast may have been something to do with the reports of feral pigs in the area that she
heard about later, but shes never been too sure …
Moving on to number 4 we have Footsteps.
WhiteRun said that when he was a kid he was home alone one day while his Mum took his
sister to school.
After about 15 minutes he heard the front door unlock, then open and then came the sound
foosteps.
The slow and heavy sound moved into the kitchen.
He assumed it was just his Mum but even then he thought it sounded different, it sounded
strange.
Also, normally she will call out whenever she arrives home.
To him, this sounded like a big guy with boots on.
He called out to the footsteps but was met with only silence.
Now he was scared.
He grabbed his dog from outside and the two of them hid in a corner.
After what felt like an eternity, his Mum really did come home.
He told her about it and the fact that he didnt hear the footsteps leave.
The door was still locked however, so were the windows - and there was no sign anybody
had entered - not even a mark on the carpet from a shoe.
Was that person still in the house?
Were they even human?
To this day he has no idea what happened …
At number 3 now we have The Cackle.
Corby315 said that one day while doing his laundry in his basement, one of the lights
blew out.
His basement was set up so that the laundry room is separated from the other side of the
basement with a wall and a door.
To get upstairs, you need to exit the laundry room and go through the other part of the
basement.
Since there was only one light on one side, it was always very dark.
He finished the laundry and began to walk through the dark basement.
As he existed the laundry room and got halfway through the basement he heard a loud cackle.
It was like the sound people make when they imitate a with.
In Corbys own words, he said it sounded like a witch who had been smoking for 50 years,
it was a deep, raspy, hoarse cackle.
Thats what he heard, crystal clear, right behind him.
He didnt look or hesitate - he simply ran for the stairs.
Then, Corby waited upstairs until his Dad got home and changed the bulb.
He has not heard the cackle since that day, and has never told a single person in the
house about it …
Coming in at number 2 we have The Figure.
This one comes from a Reddit user called Definitely Not Satan.
Thats the kind of username that Satan would actually have - suspicious.
When he was 18, he house sat for his parents while they spent a week away.
He fell asleep one night but was awoke by the sound of talking.
He looked at the other side of the room only to see that a small figure was breathing heavily,
muttering and inching itself across the room towards his bed.
He jumped up and ran past it, all while screaming for his parents and telling them to get out
of the house.
After his parents calmed him down and got him away from the door - they went to go and
investigate.
They found no evidence of the small muttering creature.
His parents didnt believe him but he still swears what he saw was 100% real.
This one sounds a bit like the stories Ive heard of people seeing fairies or tiny people
around the world, especially kids seeing them in their bedrroms.
Have any of you ever had an experience like that?
And finally at number 1 we have The Poltergeist.
This one comes from Mickey on yourghoststories.com.
He said -his story happened a few years ago and I am sad to say that it is a little bit
like The Ring 1.
My house is said to be haunted.
Well, at least that is what I say.
And we moved here when I was 14.
Since then I always feel like I am not alone.
Some nights I can see lights go on and off in my bathroom, or I smell horrible things
when I am awake in my house.
But this encounter with a ghost was the last straw.
It was a cold, rainy day and I had to let my dogs in the house before they froze to
death.
My mom was at work and my dad was at work, too.
They both said that they will be coming home late so they gave me a list of what to do
in order to be safe or just to keep the house in order.
But the list was long and I was not looking forward to doing all of this stuff when I
could be having fun playing around with nobody home.
When I was watching t.v I started to get the feeling like I wasn't alone after all.
I felt a cold chill on my back and at the corner of my eye I started seeing shadows.
I felt a little better when I saw that my dog was not barking or showing teeth at anything.
I went up to get some lemonade out of the fridge when suddenly as I walked forwards,
it opened on demand.
So anyway, I walked around the counter in the middle to see if I could see anything
in the fridge.
Nothing was there so I just walked over there and closed it.
But then I felt stupid because my lemonade was in there.
After I got the lemonade I sat back down and watched more t.v.
As I started taking a sip, I could see in the reflection of the glass in my kitchen.
I looked at the glass trying to see the kitchen fully now.
And what I saw next made me have nightmares for a long long time.
Looking at the glass I suddenly saw this black creature run straight across the kitchen counter.
I gasped and right as I gasped my dog jumped up and started barking like crazy and showing
warning teeth.
I jumped up with all feet and arms on the couch watching my dog.
This is when it started getting freaky.
All of a sudden my dog starts moving his head like he is watching something dance or run.
His head is moving across the ceiling and then back down to the kitchen counter again.
Then, my dog moved his head and stared straight at me.
I screamed because I knew that this ghost was either right beside me or behind me.
I ran to my room upstairs and locked the door.
I start crying out of fear and listen to my dog bark like crazy.
Then, all of a sudden, the barking stops.
My bedroom is big, but my bed is right in the corner near the window and the closet.
I was sitting under the covers waiting to hear my dog bark again.
It was all quiet.
Then, I hear my dog scratching and barking even louder now at my door.
There was only one meaning to this, the ghost was in my room.
Next thing I know I was woken up by my mother on the kitchen counter.
She asked me what had happened and I told her the whole story.
She then asked me why I was found on the counter.
I told her that all I remember was passing out in my bed.
She looked at me and smiled.
Then she said, "It's ok now sweetie, everything is fine now..."
To be honest, I found the Mum kind of creepy in that one.
Did anyone else get the vibe that she was in on it?
