Here are some true scary stories for you all. This community is great and i thought i share atleast something with you all. :D

THE BRAY ROAD BEAST
A young woman named Doristine Gipson, from nearby Elkhorn, was driving along Bray Road near Delavan. As she neared the intersection of Hospital Road, she leaned over to change the station on her radio when she felt her right front tire jump off the ground as if she had hit something. Concerned, she stopped the car and got out to see what it was. Finding nothing on the roadway behind her car, she began to look around. As she peered into the darkness, she suddenly saw a dark, hairy form racing toward her. She did not see what the figure looked like from the distance at which she was standing (about 50 feet) but she did see the figure was quite bulky and she would later compare the form to someone who works out continually with weights. Startled by the oncoming form, and by the sounds of its “heavy feet”, she quickly retreated to her car. She jumped in and was attempting to drive away when the beast jumped onto her trunk. Luckily, it was too wet for the creature to hang on and it fell off onto the pavement. Doristine returned to the site later on that evening with a young girl that she was taking out trick-or-treating and saw a large form on the side of the road. When she saw the creature moving, she ordered the child to lock her door and drove quickly away from the scene.

She had no idea what she had seen but wondered if perhaps it might be a bear, angry because she had struck it with her car. Regardless, she told a neighbor about the encounter the next day and showed her the scratched car. As word spread, more local people began to step forward with their own encounters with the beast, dating back to 1989.

The Bloody Boys
My boyfriend and I were visiting his grandparents in Georgia. The houses were very far apart, and there was a cornfield across from their house.

One night my boyfriend and I were in the yard, and we heard two kids laughing, so we went out front. The next house was very far away, and the boys looked about 6 years old, and it was around 2 a.m.

My boyfriend, being how he is, wanted to scare them. We went into the house and got flashlights and came up behind the boys and yelled, “What are you doing?” The boys turned around, and I thought I was going to faint.

They were bloody, their clothes were ripped, and their skin was hanging off of them. The flashlights went off, and they disappeared. My boyfriend picked me up and ran into the house.

The next morning on the news we heard they had found two boys dead in the field. They had been killed by wild dogs. They had been missing for a week. They were the same little boys we had seen the night before. Remembering this still sends chills down my spine.

A Soldier Comes Home
My great-grandmother Rose had a son who went to fight in World War I. His name was William, and he was only 16 when he left. My grandma showed me a picture of him a few years back, and I was shocked by how young he looked.

One day when Rose was out in the barn milking the cow, a brilliant light appeared in the doorway! Inside the light was the figure of William, only he was missing a leg, and he looked really hurt, but she said he was smiling at her. She was very frightened at this point, but the glowing image said that he was okay and that she shouldn't worry about him.

He told her that a telegram would come the next day telling her that he was dead. He disappeared after that, and Rose was obviously very shaken up but this. Just like the ghost said, a telegram arrived the next day at noon, telling her that William had died in combat.


Weird
Okay, so my name is Nayef. Yes, that is my real name, and I have always been able to see things. Most of my mother's side has had the power to see the unseen.

This story happened last year when I was 14. I had stayed up till about four in the morning, and I decided to take out my contacts and go to bed. Well, my bathroom door was open, and the light was on, so I decided to just take them off there.

When I was taking them off, I had a strange urge to look to my left (my hallway). I took a glance; then looked back. I noticed something was different. I looked again and saw a body in the fetal position in the middle of my hallway. This was weird because there weren't any lights on, but yet I still could see it. I stared, not frightened, but amazed.

Then it started to stand up. By this time, I was scared and about to pee in my pants. It stood about 3 feet tall, and I could barely see it. I couldn't move at all. I stood there with my finger in my eye, as it started hovering closer to me. Then, once it was 10 feet away, it got on all fours, and ran at me. I tried running too, but I was cornered in a wall of the bathroom. Right when it was in my face, it opened its mouth full of teeth, like a dog.

Then suddenly it disappeared. Gone. I stood there for about 2 minutes trying to figure out what had just happened. Then, I got the courage to turn on all the lights and scurry off to bed with my contacts on.


Mr. Death?
I was told this story by my father and my aunt. My father and his sister are the oldest out of seven siblings, so on the weekend they were the babysitters.

One night my grandparents left them alone with their extremely ill sister. She had a fever over 104 degrees and showed no signs of coming down.

They were sitting in the living room, when she called them into her room. She asked, “Who's the man in black holding the big knife?”

She claimed there was a man in black wearing a hood, pacing in front of her bedroom door.

She was only 3 or 4 at the time and had no previous knowledge of what Death is said to look like.

Too Close for Comfort
It was beautiful. The forest is the most weird and wonderful place you can go. I was with my girlfriend. We had decided to camp out in the woods for two weeks with enough supplies.

We were on the fourth day when I was awakened by this inhuman sound. I was too scared to look out of the tent, when all of a sudden it was torn from the ground. This half human, half beast was standing there with all our supplies in its other hand.

It then looked at me straight in the eyes when I covered my girlfriend to protect her, The creature then grabbed me and threw me about 10 meters* away, seriously hurting my back. Then I saw it grab my girlfriend.

I got up, fighting the pain, and charged at it, knocking it to the ground. I shot it with my hunting gun. We ran until we got to a pub, which took us about 30 minutes to get there. We both got treated for injuries but never spoke a word to anyone until now!



The Glowing Headstone
One night, two children (a brother and sister) were running through their father's field after dark, trying to get home and to get away from a man who was trying to kill them. The boy and girl were running with a lantern so that they could see.

They soon discovered that they were making it easier for the man to follow them, so they blew out the lantern and huddled in the dark, alone, with nowhere to hide.

The man found and killed them seconds later. The children's parents buried them together in that exact spot. The field was later sold and turned into a cemetery. To this day, if you're by the cemetery at night, you will notice a glowing headstone. If you get too close, it will go out.

Some people say that it's the children's lantern keeping them safe in the dark, but they are afraid the killer will come back for them, so they turn it off when ever someone is close by.



Creature at Secluded Cabin
by Neal Everett

My family owns a small, secluded cabin in southwest Virginia. This past summer we decided to spend around three weeks there. The cabin has electricity and running water, but no TVs or computers. The third day of our visit, the nearest neighbor (a cattle farmer who lives about two miles down the road) came up to our cabin and informed us that during the past two weeks that some of his cattle have been slaughtered and basically mutilated. There are foxes and wolves in those hills, and occasionally a small black bear, but nothing that could do this much damage and over such a spread out time. He asked us if we had seen anything and told us to keep our eyes open if we saw a rabid fox, wolf, bear or any other animal that could possibly have done it. We told him we would and he thanked us and left.

The next five or six days passed uneventfully, but around a week after the farmer came to our house, we experienced something. That day we BBQed hot dogs and hamburgers and had a small party with some close friends, but none of them stayed the night. Around 11:30, my wife and I decided to go to bed. We slept peacefully until about 3:45 when there was a loud crash outside, and our dog started barking furiously. I didn't have a rifle or any other type of weapon, so I decided to cautiously proceed downstairs and turn on the floodlights around the cabin. The switch to the lights was outside on the deck of the cabin, so I proceeded out there and turned them on.


What I saw next still baffles me. At my truck there was a creature standing upright, about 7 feet tall with huge claws on its "hands." It had white hair that was almost gray, but I couldn't really see its eyes. It seemed to be searching around the bed of my truck and was paying no attention to the now-frantic dog. When the lights first came on, it did nothing but continue its search, but it then looked up at the deck.

By now I was frozen in horror and it turned around and made eye contact with me. It then made a horrible screeching sound, almost as if it was in terror from the sight of me. At first it seemed as if it was going to charge at me and climb the steps onto the deck. But then in a terrorized rage it made another screech and "sprinted" away. It ran upright and its claws almost went past its knees.

The next day, we left the cabin and reported what we saw to the local deputy. He dismissed it as nothing more than a bear and said we should not concern ourselves with backwoods business.




Visit to Another Demenision

I want to share this story because I think it is high time that we humans stop living in denial and accept the fact that the universe does not revolve only around us. There ARE things happening all around us that is truly beyond our egotistical scope of reasoning...

Now, having said that, let me say that I have had many, many, paranormal experiences but would like to take the time to share one of the most incredible experiences ever! Around 4:30 a.m., two years ago, my mind and body were awakened by a strong paralyzing vibration. This was nothing new to me because of my many experiences with astral projection. (Those of you who have had this experience know that this is REAL.)

As I prepared myself to make the separation from my physical form, I thought, "I am going to really gain control of my light body and not just go along exploring aimlessly." From there, I literally forced myself up out of my body through the top of my head. There I was, floating in the middle of my bedroom in the beautiful form of a radiant bluish-light! There were rays all around my entire form. I wasn't thinking to just float out somewhere and explore, I was more preoccupied with how identical my light body was to my physical one. I remembered looking down at the palms of my (light form) hands, moving my physical fingers, while my light-form fingers moved in sinc with them. Again, I was wide awake during this experience!

The next thing I knew, a force or presence prompted me to look up from my fumbling with hand. There, about five feet in front of me, was a Being that was clearly not of this world! What I saw that night was like looking at a hologram or window to another dimension. His form was startling but at the same time intriguing. I will try to decribe this Being as best as I can. The shape of the face was very simular to a human skull, but much broader. His entire face and body were the color of the sun, but with a more whitish hue. His head was shaped like the Sphinx in Egypt. He had wide-hollow oval black eyes; there wasn't a nose (at least I don't remember seeing one). He had very thick human-like lips.

There were two smaller Beings on the right and left side of him, but I couldn't quite make them out because they were shadowed. These were clearly an aliens vibrating on a different frequency! The Being in the middle sort of stood there and looked directly at me and then began to verbally communicate, but I didn't hear a word. Ironically, when he opened his mouth to speak, all I could do was focus on the teeth. He had small teeth, with a gap between the two front (again, very human looking).

The next thing I knew, I was pulled back into my body. I then sat up and looked at my neon-light alarm clock and thought, no one will ever believe this one. Of course, I didn't sleep well for a few days after.

There is rarely a day that goes by that I don't think about this experience. It certainly shatters a conservative world-view (thank God I didn't have one or I probably would have lost my mind that night). I don't know who these Beings were or how or why I was able to see them, but I know without a shadow of a doubt -- WE ARE NOT the ONLY intelligent life forms in the universe, and that the world we see with our physcial eyes is the real illusion. There is nothing anyone or anything could do to convice me otherwise.




Weird Red-Hooded Creature

It was late. I was at a party in celebration of a play I had directed. At 15 I was the "good girl," so when the drinking and strip poker started, I called my dad to pick me up.

It was around 3:00 a.m. My dad drove and arrived with a smile to bring me home. We live in a dairy town sourounded by dark back roads that make good short cuts, but are a little creepy at night. As we drove home, I noticed movement on the road ahead. I didn't say anything, but suddenly had that feeling of my skin crawling as I looked ahead on the dark road. A rush of fear swept over me as a small creature, approximately three feet in height in a red cloak ran from one side of the two-lane road to the other. Keep in mind, this is a dairy road at 3:00 a.m. with no houses around, only cows and barbed wire fences.

Its movement was strange. It was on two legs and swung its arms as it ran. The way it moved was unnatural. It was almost leaping as it crossed and then dissapeared into some bushes. The porportions were odd, the arms long and the rest of the creature very small. It happened so fast, I blinked hard and told myself... you're seeing things... it's late... it's dark and you're creeping yourself out.

The truck was quiet. I said nothing, waiting. After about three minutes, I looked over at my dad. He was gripping the wheel tight and looked very distraught. And then he asked me softly, "Did you see that?" I exhaled deeply and said, "What did you see?" "Something in red," he whispered.

We both started to describe what we had seen and neither of us could explain it. To this day, I tell the story to people and it gives me chills as I replay the moments in my head. My dad and I joke about it, but are still absolutely perplexed by the red-hooded creature on our dairy road.



Devil in the Ditch

I lived in a small town in Minnesota at the age of around six when this strange sighting took place. There was some sort of construction work being done in our back yard and there was a deep hole or trench dug up by a backhoe. The hole was around 10 feet deep and 30 feet long, as my memory serves.

One day around noon the workers were taking their lunch break sitting in the shade or standing around a good 50 feet away from the trench. I, being a curious kid with nothing better to do, went over to peer into the trench and that is when I saw this devil-like man looking up at me laughing, but making no sound. I turned to see if anyone was close enough to witness this and there wasn't, so I turned back and it was still there with his laughing head bobbing with laughter.

I had to show somebody, so I went to get one of the construction men. I ran up to this one worker and said: "There is a man in the hole." He ran over thinking somebody had fallen in and needed help. When we got to the spot where I had seen the devil thing, there was no one there, but the worker wasn't mad at me because I think he knew I wasnt lying.

I didn't tell him this man had red skin, round head with nublike horns and laughed without making a sound. I didn't see the rest of the body to give more detail. Who would believe a six year old describing a devil creature? I am 40 now and still remeber it well.




Chupacabras in Mexico

I was vacationing in Mexico. The date was March 17, 1995. I was driving to get a drink or two. As I was driving, I saw somthing with wings leap. I grabed my 44 magnum ruger. I shot once. I thought that it had left, but it was looking at me from a rock. As I got back in my car, I turned the car to look at it with my headlights. Its glaring yellow eyes opened wide and it let out a screech. This creature was about 4 feet tall and its wings were a little bit bigger. It was a grayish greenish mix of color. I couldn't make out if it had fur, but it had fangs – big yellow fangs. Its sharp, narrow tongue stuck out as I looked at this terrifying creature. I panicted and fled back to my cousin's, who lives there.




Hooded Figures in the Field

I grew up in a rural area with lots of flat, vast fields of crops. One of my earliest memories is riding in the back seat of my parents' sedan after dark down the long freeways connecting rural towns to the city or to other towns. I distinctly remember that for about three years, from age two to five, I would gaze out at the darkened fields on these evening or nighttime trips and see figures (usually just one or less often two) hovering over the fields.

They were hooded in the style of monks or what I now know as the Grim Reaper, and they had no legs or feet and flew or hovered about two feet off the ground sometimes seeming to fly or zoom over the fields. Their faces never showed nor did their hands. We were very poor and sheltered and did not have cable and never went to movies so I can't imagine how my three-year-old mind could have picked up such imagery as an influence. I remember trying to tell my mom about it once, early on, but she just ignored me. I'm not so much curious to know what these things were, as I am curious to know if anyone else has ever seen anything like this. As an afterthought , it seems that when I quit seeing these things it was quite suddenly.




Ouija Creature

This happened about 7 years ago. I walked into the bedroom that I shared with my youngest daughter and my handicapped daughter.
This happened in the middle of the day. But our bedroom is dark.

I walked into the bedroom. I saw that something was on top of my handicapped daughter's chest. It looked like the face was touching my daughter's face. It turned and looked at me. It had red eyes. It looked like a picture I have seen of an alien. It was totally black, except the eyes. It was squatting on my handicapped daughter's chest. Its head was a triangle and its arms were pointed. It didn't have fingers. The legs were bent.

I screamed STOP! It jumped like Spiderman from my oldest daughter's bed to the wall, to the foot of my youngest daughter's bed, then down to the floor.

My son, Dustin (18 at the time) walked into the room behind me in time to see this thing. He moved out of the way so it could go past him, to go out of the room. He said, "What was that!" I was freaking and saying, "You did see that, right?" It scared me and him very much. I asked my youngest daughter, my son's twin, "Did you see that?" She said, "Yes, I see that all the time. It follows me everywhere I go."

I said, "Destiny, why didn't you say something?" She said, "I didn't think you would believe me." She and a friend of hers had tried to cast spells for fun and played the Ouija board. And ever since then, it wouldn't go away.

We moved. So far so good.




Three Little Folks

I've had several strange experiences. Basically, I think, because I try to keep my eyes and mind open without forming opinions or beliefs about them. I don't believe in ghosts (never seen, but I'd like to), ETs (ditto), or Bigfoot. I have seen five UFOs, but that's all they were: unidentified, unexplainable and aerial phenomena.

But I swear I saw three "little people" one evening clearly. And believe it or not, it was in the center of San Diego. Clear and sober, I walked with my dog down the large backyard of a friend at about 9:30 that bordered a freeway. About 30 meters away, there were three little folk standing together and talking. Believe it or not, they all wore green, wide belts with large buckles and green pointed hats. They all had beards, and turned to look at me as I rounded the corner of the garage.

I stopped, but my dog took off in chase, barking loudly. They hurriedly turned and ran through a break in the hedge, and were gone. Who knows?





Foreboding Grim Reaper

This happened when I was around seven or eight. Right now I'm 17. It was a stormy night, and being the small child I was, I was scared, naturally. I went to my mother's bed (my parents are divorced) and asked if I could get in with her at around midnight. She moved over and I got in. I started to sleep a little better, but about three hours later, I awoke suddenly, as I tend to be a sporadic kind of sleeper. When I awoke, the scariest thing was in front of me. A specter type outline of the Grim Reaper was about six or seven feet away from me. It stood there, glaring, for about 20 or 30 seconds. It didn't talk, it just stared at me, and I hid under my mother's covers. I wonder now if that image of death was a foreshadowing of events, because since my freshman year of high school, six kids have died or have gotten into horrible accidents. That's six kids in less than four years. I've never told anyone about this, but I have always been a believer in ghosts and the paranormal. I still cant figure it out though.





The Thing

This is a true story and it gives my chills every time I think about it. It was about 8:00 p.m. and it was my turn to check the cattle. I went to the barn and grabbed my horse. I decide to ride bareback because I didn't want to take the time and saddle him up.

I rode where the cattle were and started to count them. I heard a loud scream that made the cattle scatter. I chased the cattle toward the barn because I didn't want them to be out there with that thing. As soon as I got the cattle to the barn, I heard the scream again. I decide to go back up the hill where I first heard the noise. And that's when I saw red glowing eyes looking straight at me.

I took off running. I decided to chase it with my horse. That thing could outrun my horse! I was so scared I decided to go back to the cattle barn where I had my gun. I grabbed it and ran my horse up to the hill. My horse froze. He would not go at all. He wanted to go back to the barn, but I wouldn't let him.

The thing came after me. I shot it. It made a loud, horrible scream and ran off. Pa and my sisters came running out after they heard the gunshot. I ran my horse back to the house and told pa that there was something out there and I didn't know what it was and I shot it.

The next morning pa, my sisters and I went searching for it. I was at the top of the hill were I shot it. Green slime was on the ground. We followed the trail of green slime, but there was no sign of the thing. I'm afraid to go outside at night and I'm afraid to sleep with the lights off.





Girl with No Eyes

This happened to an aunt of mine when she was in her late teens to early 20s. She is someone that I know would never lie about something. If you heard her tell the story, you would know she is telling the truth. She's the most honest person.

She said that she was walking one night and she saw a guy that she liked, so all of her attention was on him. As she was walking, she came to the street light and saw a girl. As she got closer to the girl, she was able to see her face. What she saw scared her. She screamed and took off running. She said that the girl had no eyes. Where her eyes were supposed to be, there were hollow holes, like you could go in them -- just black. She said that the thing she saw was dressed like any person would be dressed. She said just before she saw the girl's face, the most horrible feeling came over her. When she took off running, she looked back and whatever it was was still walking straight as if nothing happened. She said any person would have turned to see what was wrong, but she said it just kept walking, as if nothing happened.

In my opinion, what she saw that night was a demon or a being from another dimension. Whatever it was was probably evil because of the horrible feeling that it gave her. I believe that there are other things out there that are from somewhere else.





Skunk Ape's Cries

The year was 1974. The place, rural South Florida. My new bride and I had found our dream house in the country sided by a great bass fishing canal. On the other side were endless acres of cattle land. One night, we heard horrible crying and screams (not human) off in the near distance. I figured maybe the cattle were mating, but it sounded more like death wails, and seemed to get closer to the house as the night went on. These noises keep us up till the wee hours, then stopped around 5:00 a.m.

Around 7;00 a.m., with my cup of coffee in hand, I stepped out unto my open front porch and saw wet sand and mud imprint tracks there. Not human footprints! Being only a fisherman and not a hunter, I couldn't tell what they were. A week later, two police officers came to our door wanting to know if we has seen or heard anything unusual lately. They explained that several animals (cattle) had been mutilated in the field next door and all their blood removed the same night we heard those horrible noises. I explained the prints on my patio, but I had washed them away. They asked us to remain quiet about the incident.

Needless to say, our country living was never the same, and we soon sold our home. Florida "Skunk-Ape" stories arose after that, but

Yeah.

They're also all false, apart from that out of body experience one, that one was a lucid dream.

Oh and the creature in red was probably a big fox.

And the white thing near the cabin? A bear.

The Glowing headstone? The HIGHLY POLISHED headstone more like.

Girl with no eyes? Girl with contacts and eyeshadow.

Ha! I laugh at your gullibility and easily describable stories!
