Welcome back everyone - Im very excited for this video.
I went to Reddit and found stories that people have posted from their childhood that are
either terrifying, or absolute mysteries - most of them are actually both of those things.
I read so many and these are the 10 best - Im not just saying this, this is going to be
one of the best scary videos Ive done on this channel.
Just before I get into it, don't forget to check out our Top 10 Hindi channel right up
here - Ayman is our lovely host doing videos in both Hindi and English, go and check it
out right after this.
My name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Childhood Stories - Part 2.
Starting off at number 10 now we have The Face[a].
This one comes from user Spider Lane Wales.
He said when he was about 6 years old, he was sleeping inbetween his parents one night.
It was about 4 AM - and he saw something standing by the window - looking out over their front
yard.
It looked like a tall man wearing a brown wool robe.
He started to stir and sat up in bed.
The thing turned and looked at him.
One thing he will never forget is the face - it was unearthly - extremely pale, with
many wrinkles, and it drooped like it was melting, right down to a pointy chin - it
almost resembles the scream mask, except real flesh and blood.
Its mouth was hanging open and its eyes were wide as if it was also terrified.
It stared at him while it moved away from the window, in front of the bed, and out of
the open bedroom door.
The exact moment it exited the room, the lights turned on by themselves.
Both his parents jumped up either side of me, breathing heavily like theyd both just
woken up from a nightmare.
It wasnt until many years later that he told them hed seen the nightmare with his own two
eyes …
Next up at number 9 we have The Old Woman[b].
This one comes from user PM ME YOUR POEM.
He said that he was laying in bed one night - it was pitch except for some light creeping
under the door from his landing.
They had recently moved into the house and while his Mums room was being worked on, she
was sleeping in his room on the floor.
He looked up and saw the door slowly creek open.
Slowly, an old woman peered around the door, looked right at him, and then slinked away.
Even though he was a kid, he didnt freak out and told himself it was fine - it was just
a nightmare - he was seeing this.
Despite this thought, he still quickly turned over and dove under his covers, hoping he
would wake up.
He sat there in silence, waiting for the nightmare to be over.
Then, he heard his Mum whisper to him from the floor, saying -Did you just see someone
peer round the door?- … safe to say they didnt sleep a wink that night …
Coming in at number 8 we have The Stalker.
This one comes from Reddit user, Yeah But Thats Nothing said that as a kid they would
sometimes sleep with their bedroom lights on, light blaring out through the windows.
One night she awoke to the sound of metal scraping outside, like something was being
dragged.
There was -thunk- noise against the wall outside the window and then the sound of someone climbing
a ladder.
She watched, wide eyed and frozen in fear as a man shed never seen before looked at
her straight the window.
Their eyes met and they just looked at each other for a moment, then she closed her eyes
and pretended to sleep, but really she was squinting and still watching him.
He stared in silence for a few more minutes, then she saw a bright camera flash.
He climbed back down the ladder and dragged it away into the night - she never saw him
again …
Next up at number 7 we have Minnie Mouse[c].
This one comes from MD Night Writer.
They said that when they were little they had a Minnie Mouse plushe.
It had a cute costume and big open mouthed grin - she even had a studio portrait taken
with it.
When she woke up one morning, she looked at her toys scattered on the ground and her eyes
fell on Minnie.
Then, Minnie started talking.
At first it was just a hissing noise, then Minnie started whispering her name.
She froze as she watched Minnies mouth open and close slowly.
She ran out of the room as fast as she can.
Her parents dismissed it as imagination until she showed them that the dolls mouth was permanently
closed.
They went to look at the studio portrait that had been taken months before and sure enough,
the mouth was open.
She never touched the doll again - and the family rarely speak about the whole affair
…
Moving on on to number 6 we have Sssshhh[d].
This one comes from PM ME FOR SMALLTALK - possibly the person who told a story earlier.
Well, he has another story.
He said once as a child, he and his sister were having a prank war for a week straight.
They agreed to a ceasefire as his birthday was in two days - very fair.
He had just turned 11 and that night, he heard his closet door open.
He knew it was his sister - she was about to prank him on his special day.
-Ill show her- he thought … he decided to surprise her by flinging open the closet doors
before she could jump out.
He slowly got up but before he could get to the closet, the doors opened and she stepped
out - except - it wasnt his sister.
It was a grown woman with long black hair covering her face - a face riddled with scars.
He wanted to scream, but he just froze and silently started whimpering and crying.
She put a finger up to her lips and let out a slow ssshhhhh … she then opened the window
and crawled out, slowly closing it behind her, never to be seen again.
To this day, he's not sure who - or even what she was, and whether she will visit him again
one day …
Moving on to number 5 we have The Bones[e].
This was from user Bathysphere710.
He said when he was a kid, his Dad would take he and his sister to a giant lake with a big
sandy shore, like a landlocked beach for hillbillies.
He was wading in at the shallow end when he felt something brush through his fingers.
As he was only 7 years old, he was imagining that he was at a real beach and thought to
himself -Maybe these are sea plants- … he snapped out of it when he remembered that
this wasnt that kind of beach.
As he squeezed the tendrils brushing his hand, they squished and sunk and he through the
soft, squishy mass - he felt bones.
They were finger bones, belonging to a child that would have been about his age.
He got out of the water, sat on the shore, and told no one.
A year later, his sister told him that she thought a boy had been kicking her under the
water, but when she grabbed at the foot, it felt cold and squishy and she also told no
one else.
Moving on to number 4 we have The Poke[f].
This one comes from Diamond Eyes 7 who said that when she was a child, her grandparents
house always creeped her out.
She was terrified of the basement - there was just something that was off about it,
compared to the rest of the house at least.
When she was about 10 - her she and her Mom were sleeping in her Grandpas bed.
She couldn't sleep and was facing the middle of the bed so that the back of her head was
facing the nearby window.
All of a sudden - she felt something poke the back of her head - once, and then twice.
She was petrified and froze solid.
She wanted to turn her head and see what just poked her but she just couldn't bring herself
to turn around.
To this day, she still doesnt know what it was that poked her from the window - but when
she thinks about it, its like she can still feel the pokes - as clear as the night they
happened …
Next up at number 3 we have The Aunty[g].
This one comes from user YOLO the Swagnificant - the story is creepier than the name.
When he was a kid, he had a dream that his aunt came to visit him.
He was named after her husband, his uncle, who had died a few months before he was born.
Because of this, he was always very special to her.
After the dream he went into his parents room and told them that Aunty Liz had come to see
him and that she told him to say goodbye.
Just a few hours later, they got a call that she had passed away.
A few years later his grandfathers friend Mary got brain cancer - she lost the ability
to speak and her face was paralyzed.
The last time he saw her he told his mum he just wanted to see her smile one more time.
A few nights later he had a dream where she was smiling at him.
A few hours later, his parents got the call she had passed away.
A final twist to the story is that when he was about 11 or 12 he had a dream his Dad
died.
His Dad was terrified for weeks.
His Dad survived though - but now the whole family is scared of this bizzare power he
seems to have …
Moving on to number 2 now we have The Hand[h].
This one comes from user YOU SHOUTED THIS - her name is written in all caps - nice one.
She said her family was very religious when she was growing up.
One time when she was in church they asked a few members to go to the front so they could
pray for a specific person.
Her aunt took her up, they closed their eyes, started singing and lifting their hands in
prayer.
After about a minute, she felt someones hand touch hers - it was flat against her hand.
She swayed and continued singing without opening her eyes.
She thought the hand belonged to the pastors wife who she liked and was happy that she
had chosen to pray with her.
After a few minutes though, she decided to break the protocol and open her eyes to smile
at her.
When she did though - she quickly realized it wasnt her.
It wasnt anyone in fact.
She looked from side to side to see if maybe the person had moved to pray with someone
else, but everyone was doing their own thing.
There was no one there - even though she definitely felt someones hand touch hers just before
she opened her eyes.
After all, wouldnt you be sure if someone touched your hand?
And finally at number 1 we have The Witch[i].
This last one comes from user MTMB17.
She said when she was 8 years old her bedroom was down a hallway by itself.
She had a window that that had a been broken, so there was a piece of wood in place of the
bottom part.
This window was high up and nobody could reach it easily.
Her mother had been cleaning her room that night and had her go back in there to get
her glass of tea she had left in there.
When she walked in she glances at the window and there, clear as day, was a rigid, gray,
bony witch looking finger with a long dead looking nail and bumps all along the finger.
The finger was an abnormal length and was just above the piece of wood, it was beckoning
her to come to the window.
She diver under her bed and screamed for her mother.
She told her she was too scared to come out from under the bed.
Her Mum said she was too tired to get up and didnt seem to understand the severity of the
situation.
She eventually crawled out from under the bed and darted out of the bedroom.
Its been many years that day but she still remembers the finger clearly, and still wonders
what she was being beckoned towards …
Hope you enjoyed.
Adult next?
