Happy Halloween! This thread is a spot to share your spooky stories and costumes, or anything halloween related, for that matter. Carved a pumpkin that looks like a dog? Post it! Saw a wacky Halloween decoration? Definitely post that!
I have a scary story! A spot in my room with no light source was flashing (was awake). Then couldn’t move (was awake). Went to sleep. Then dark figure beside my bed (was asleep). Woke up and didn’t go back to sleep. The end.
I also have stories while in Asia. But the most annoying were those ghosts sitting on my chest every other night. So I started sleeping on my stomach, problem solved. The end.
I’m such a bad story teller, but I hope you were scared!
No ghosties and never tried going into a house with haunted rep. I mean alone? Heck no.
I had that creepy chest feeling once - guessing it was they call sleep paralysis. It was hecking terrifying.
Spookiest thing I experience these days, is the sensation of waking up, carrying out innocuous actions, then actually waking up to realise I’d been dreaming. Sometimes, I have entire conversations with people in the house, I’ve never had in reality.
Edgar Allan Poe was a master of making the commonplace scary, and it’s stuff like the prior that make it work.
Haven’t watched Constantine this year, got my spooks just by dreaming all last night and today during a nap. I felt myself hugging an 18" porcelain doll for comfort, as I was having a super scary dream, that might make a good story. Then I thought: but I don’t actually own a doll like that… and I woke up.
