• From looming strangers to wandering ghosts, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact some of the
best true stories from our subreddit about the creepiest things we’ve experienced while
on vacation.
I’m Nixxiom – or – Hellbent and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by danasialeenikiya Andiemations
When Andiemations was 21, she went on a vacation to Hawaii with her boyfriend, Adam.
They were having fun, but as they walked on the beach they saw a really, really old guy.
He stared at Andie, but Adam noticed it first and told her.
She glanced at him and got creeped out.
Andie told Adam that she had to go to the bathroom, so she went inside their hotel to
use the bathroom.
As she walked out, she saw him staring at her from the hallway.
Now she was really freaked out.
He just stared at her with a blank expression, not saying anything.
She went to Adam, but didn’t see the old man for the rest of the night.
They went into their hotel room and, while they were having sex, the old man suddenly
opened the door and stared at Andie.
He pointed at her and said, “I want the girl, I want the girl!”
At that point, Andie screamed.
Adam pushed him out, slammed the door, and called hotel security.
Apparently, the old man was a rapist who had actually been convicted of rape.
He was taken to jail.
Number 9 was submitted by huahakzreddit Danger Dolan
Three years ago, Danger Dolan was with his brother and their parents at a hotel near
the Black Sea.
His dad bought a room for Dolan and his brother.
That night, Dolan heard a girl scream.
He thought he was dreaming, but then heard a knock at the door.
It was an iron door, so no one could've entered.
Once he got comfortable, he heard another knock, but this time at the balcony.
Dolan saw a dark man with yellow glowing eyes.
He just stood there, watching them.
Dolan hit his brother in the butt to wake him up and, when he saw him, called 911.
When the police arrived, their father was like, “What the hell?!”
The police found some footprints all over the floor, as well as fingerprints and blood
in the bathroom.
On the second day, they decided that they needed to get out of there...
fast!
Number 8 was submitted by Alyssatiny8386 Honeybits When Honeybits was 9, her family went to Disneyland.
It was their last day there, and her mom was sick so she stayed in the room.
So Honeybits, her dad, her step sister, cousin, and baby brother went to walk around and check
out the shops.
They went into a gift shop where Honeybits walked around, looking at candy when a man
walked up to her and asked if she wanted him to buy her candy.
She said, “I am not supposed to talk to strangers.”
That’s when he said, “come on” and grabbed her.
He started dragging Honeybits as she screamed… but everyone thought she was throwing a fit
until her step sister yelled to her dad, and then yelled at a man who was walking in with
his family to get that man.
The guy tackled him, and Honeybits’ dad started punching and kicking him until security
came and took them to the office.
The man told the cops that Honeybits was his kid, and they believed him.
She spit at the cops and ran into the bathroom where she stayed until her mom came and got
her.
The cops asked her questions before taking her to the next room and asking her who that
man was… the same man who had grabbed Honeybits.
She said she didn’t know, and the man was arrested.
Honeybits ended up getting a bunch of candy from the cops.
Number 7 was submitted by ThatRandomPerson212 Melissa
When Melissa was 7, her and her family stayed in a motel.
At midnight, she woke up and looked outside the window.
She saw an ominous figure wearing a creepy mask.
When Melissa glanced at the time, the figure was gone but something was left behind.
It was a piece of scrap metal that said, “you didn’t see anything.”
Melissa thought, “He was probably trying to break in somewhere.”
Just then, he appeared right outside her window and looked at her.
She quickly ducked down, then looked up again and he was gone.
Her family doesn’t believe her.
Number 6 was submitted by Frankwad1 Pringle When Pringle was about 11, him and his family
went to London.
As they were driving, they hit something.
Once they got out, Pringle started throwing up and crying because he didn't want to see
a dying animal.
But then he looked under the back tires, and both tires were clean.
He looked around and got back in the car with his family.
As they drove away, he looked behind them and saw two red eyes, staring at him.
It had a horrifying grin with messed up teeth.
Pringle never went to London again.
Number 5 was submitted by _Dragon_Flame_ MKyleM When MKyleM was 11, him and his family went
to Gettysburg for a re-enactment of the Civil War.
Since it was a re-enactment of the Civil War, they had to sleep in tents.
During the night, he had to use the restroom and, when he was done, started to walk back
to the tent.
It was really quiet and dark, so MKyleM ran to the campground… but then stopped to see
a man in a civil war jacket with a bloody face.
MKyleM was so scared he couldn't move.
The man started walking towards him, so he started to run, but when MKyleM blinked the
man was right in front of him.
He was so scared he couldn't move or breathe.
Then the man said in a scary voice, "You shouldn't have come here."
MKyleM screamed so loud the whole campground woke up.
His mom ran to see what was wrong.
When she asked what was wrong, he answered, “The man in the Civil War jacket said we
shouldn’t have come here!”
That’s when the whole campground flew off the handle.
Number 4 was submitted by Cookiehead101 Legna When Legna and his family were in New York,
they took a taxi to get to their hotel.
When they got there, the man said, "Alright that will be 20.53".
They gave him the money, but then he said, "I said 50.00 dollars".
They were very confused, so Legna said, "No, its 20.53."
Then the man got very angry and pulled a knife.
He said, "Give me the money or die".
So they gave him the money.
They never rode a taxi again.
Number 3 was submitted by ShogunAssassin_Alice Doopie
When Doopie was nine, she took a vacation with her family to Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
to visit a few relatives over the summer.
They were staying at her Aunt Pandora’s house for the week.
One evening, while she was getting ready for bed, Doopie noticed a little girl playing
near the river next door.
She looked up at her, smiled and waved, and Doopie waved back.
She noticed at that moment that the girl looked a bit...wet, like she just went swimming,
but she didn't think much about it afterwards.
The next morning, Doopie asked, “Can I play with the little girl next door?”
Her aunt asked, "What girl, sweetheart?
The neighbors don't have children."
Doopie said, “I saw her last night, wearing a pink dress.”
Her Aunt Pandora’s face turned a bit pale.
Quickly, she said, “You’re mistaken.
It’s probably because you’re tired.”
So she just let the conversation go.
Some years later, when she turned 15, Doopie went to visit her aunt again and, the night
before she left to go back home, asked her about the little girl she saw when she was
nine.
Her aunt told her that the little girl was the daughter of the neighbors, and she wound
up drowning the summer before her family came to visit.
Number 2 was submitted by Echo_Flower_Moon Gooby
Gooby, her sister, and her brother were on vacation to go to MinCon and stayed at a hotel.
Something creepy caught her eye.
It was a creepy shadow on the left wall across from them.
It was walking closer.
Another time they went in their hotel room to see the bathroom door open.
The staff said that they never left the door open.
Then, in the middle of the night, her sister said that she felt uncomfortable.
Gooby’s brother checked under the mattress to see a woman's dead body.
They never went to that hotel ever again.
