It’s a great pleasure finding these little gems downthread! Also I PARTICULARLY love these ones that seem a little banal (no gore, no equivalent to a jump scare) but are downright creepy. It seems more plausible, more real, and more thrilling (unlike, for instance a time traveling armoire from hell ... ahem).

I am, I swear, going to read every story in this entire thread.
Oh please, of course it’s not true! Unless a picture of this newspaper clipping is produced, I’m going to credit the author for writing a pretty good scary story.

I wrote this semi-jokingly, but it can be a source of real fear for people who have experienced it. The closest comparison I can think of is in Greek mythology when people hear the Great God Pan (and his pipes)— sowing fear and hysteria wherever he goes. (Thus the roots for the word panic.)
Oh my gosh I got chills reading that. Goosebumps!!
Man, the response gifs on this thread are the icing on the cake!
Winner winner, chicken dinner.
I am a very vivid dreamer, and typically a lucid dreamer. I always have been, and still clearly remember select dreams from when I was 4 or 5. This one still gives me chills.
Let me guess, you also didn’t need to use your ak?

Obviously the ghost thinks you need to do yourself up and go get laid. That’s an awesome wing-ghost!
