Scary things happen to everyone but you know what always helps - having someone with you.
In a scary situation, having someone by your side can be the difference between a scary
situation and one that will haunt you for the rest of your life.
Im sure weve all experienced being alone in a house by ourselves and hearing or seeing
something - there could be something outside, or maybe its already inside.

Next up at number 10 we have The Shed.
Reddit user Microthroaway64 told a story about about how they lived in a converted shed out
in the country - just him and his dog.
The shed always had a weird vibe to it but nothing could have prepared him for what followed.
One night, he was on his computer with his dog asleep next to him - he needed to pee
so he went outside.
As he was admiring the starry night sky, he heard the shed door slam behind him.
He tries to open it but this door that usually opens with ease just wont budge an inch.
He hears his dog growling inside and begin to bark as he desperately slams against the
door with his full weight.
The dogs bark turns into whines, then whimpering, then silence.
Finally, the door flies open.
Its pitch black inside and the light wont turn on.
He finds his dog in the corner of the room, eyes closed and shaking violently.
He grabbed his dog and ran as fast as he could, swearing to never go back to the shed again.
Next up at number 9 we have The Watcher.
One Reddit user said that one night, she went to bed as the only person in her college dorm
- or so she thought.
She woke up in the middle of the night to the realization that a man was standing over
her bed.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the small table by her bed and smashed him over the
head with it.
She kept hitting him while her neighbour called the police after hearing the noise.
It turned out that it was he landlord and had been doing this to girls in the apartment
block for a long time - just watching them sleep at night.
That is extremely disturbing but some of you may be pleased to know he ended up with a
cracked skull, some teeth knocked out, a broken eye socket and a broken nose.
Thats what you get ... Coming in at number 8 we have The Handprints.
One Reddit user said that one night, in her 2nd floor apartment, she was woken up by the
sound of screaming outside.
She got up to see what it was but on her way to the sliding glass door where the noise
come from, she passed the bathroom and noticed that its door was vibrating.
She leaned in closer to see why it was vibrating and then heard a big thump noise from the
sliding door where she was originally heading.
She went to the door and to her horror - she saw the handprints of a child on the glass.
She called her husband at work who found the whole thing funny until he came home and saw
the hand prints himself.
They still have no idea what happened … Next up at number 7 we have The Nuclear Attack.
LittleDolly said that one day she was home alone studying for her exams when suddenly
she heard a loud, wailing siren from outside.
Her family lived next to a major military base and the one thing that she had always
known was that if that siren went off - it was something serious, something like a nuclear
attack.
She freaked out, like any of us would.
She grabbed food, water and some blankets and shut herself in a tiny hallway - the only
area without windows.
She seriously thought she was about to die in a nuclear holocaust.
After an hour, nothing had happened, so she inched her way out of her hiding spot and
rang her Mom at work.
It turned out the base had notified everyone in the area that they would be testing the
siren that day - her Mum had just forgotten to tell her.
Nice one Mum, real nice.
Im scared just hearing about that … At number 6 now we have The Scream.
This Reddit user said that when he was 12, he was left alone with his little sister while
their Mum was at work.
They were playing with toys in his room when suddenly they both heard their Mum scream
from the living room.
They were surprised because they thought she was at work but when they ran into the room,
she wasnt there.
She didnt arrive home for a few hours after.
If that wasnt creepy enough, get this - they both swore they heard her scream a name - but
it was their own names.
He heard his and she heard hers.
Does anyone have a good explanation for this?
Preferably a logical one that isnt as creepy as the story itself …
Coming in at number 5 we have The Note.
Em Soup said that one night when she was 19 she had a rough drunken night and returned
to her home where she had a bit of a self confessed breakdown and shaved all her hair
off.
After stepping out of the bathroom, she found a note in the hallway that said -I was going
to leave you a note but I see that you are here- … she was terrified because she thought
she was home alone - but it got even scarier when she opened her bedroom door to see a
man standing in the middle of the room with his face covered by his hair.
She started screaming at the top of her voice until she realized she recognised him - it
was an ex boyfriend from 3 years before who had run away from home and had heard she was
moving away and wanted to talk to her.
So, they talked and eventually he left.
She found out later that he had schizophrenia and was institutionalized.
Not quite as scary as a murderer but still a very disturbing encounter for sure …
At number 4 now we have The Demons.
One reddit user said he was babysitting at a house in the middle of nowhere which was
already kinda scary.
The baby was asleep and he was watching TV waiting for the parents to come home.
Then, around 10 o clock - he hears a terrifying sound.
He said the only way he could describe it was demonic laughter - a lot of demonic laughter
coming from many different sources.
He started freaking out, running to the windows to see if he could see anything in the darkness.
Eventually, it hit him - it was the sound of a pack of coyotes.
Hed never heard a group of them together like that before and they sounded eerily similar
to a pack of demons … Next up at number 3 we have The Picture.
This is a short and not so sweet story from Madame Off Fellow who said that in her family
home her Mum has hers and her siblings pictures framed on a shelf.
She is the middle child and so her picture was inbetween the other 2.
One night, her family left on a trip but she had to stay back and work - a few hours after
they left she heard a loud smashing sound.
She ran into the room with the pictures to see her frame and only her frame lying in
the middle of the room with the glass everywhere.
The other 2 pictures were still on the shelf.
There was no way it could have fallen that far and with that much force while the 2 pictures
of her siblings remained intact.
Who or what caused her picture to smash is still a mystery to this day …
At number 2 now we have The Stranger.
F Minus told a story where one night when she was home alone, there was a bang at the
door at midnight.
She lives in a rural area where the only visitor at that hour would be her boyfriend.
As she looked through the side window she could see it wasnt her boyfriend but a rough
looking, swaying man she had never seen before.
He banged again.
She backed away to get her phone.
There was no signal, her home phone was dead too - just like a horror movie.
She grabbed the biggest knife in the house and locked herself in the bathroom, ready
to pounce if he managed to get in.
She could hear him pounding on the side of the house, shouting -let me in!- … as she
sat there, waiting, she remembered her other home phone might still have battery.
She crawled out, found the phone and yes, it had power.
She called the police who told her to stay in her bathroom and they would be there in
15 minutes.
It was the longest 15 minutes of her life.
When the police arrived, they arrested the man, he had been trying to get to a friends
party down the road, got lost and thought her house was his friends.
She said this story is a reminder to always keep your phone charged …
And finally at number 1 we have FEAR.
Reddit user Potentially True said that one day they were playing the game FEAR - its
a horror game that features a creepy pale girl that tries to jump scare you.
They were playing in a dark room with headphones to get the full effect.
For some reason, they decided to look over their right shoulder and there, standing in
the dark right behind them was a pale skinned, dark haired girl just like the one in the
game.
His heart nearly burst through his chest as his mind tried to figure out what was happening.
It turns out his roommate had a daughter who had come to visit.
She had let herself into the room and was standing there watching them play the game.
Well, that is a relief but only slightly - its still very creepy.
