Scary Stories you have (Real, Made-Up, or otherwise.)

I've always been interested in horror themed stories and stories other people have, and I was wondering if those of Smogoff had any of your own. I'll go first.

In April, I had a nightmare playing going off of one of my biggest fears, being watched.

When I came to, I was in a small room that was like a chalet. When I passed through each room, I had to walk down a small set of stairs I could barely fit through to get through the next room. After about an hour of walking, I heard light rapping on the windows, like someone was outside. The thing was, there was nothing outside of the windows except darkness. I couldn't even see a moon outside.

After a few more minutes, There was blurry pictures of me, on the walls of the chalet. I could see small eyes on the chalet walls. After more walking, My vision shortened and became more grey. When I looked through certain mirrors, I had seen dark figures in the corners of the room...watching me. Soon enough, these figures started appearing in my vision, in the corner of my eye.

I walked faster, and faster, the figures getting closer and closer to my being. After opening a door, there was nothing but darkness and eyes. I then heard several whispers and voices telling me to "Turn around...Join me." There were eyes blinking on the walls, and I swear I felt something breathing on the back of my neck. It attempted to grab my shoulder, with a moist, slimy...I don't even know what it was. After a few minutes of walking forward, I had felt a doorknob, and opened that door and ran like hell.

I looked back to see a tall, fleshy wretch with nothing but sharp teeth lining it's mouth, like a razorblade. It started screaming an ear-bleeding shriek, and grabbed my leg with one of its limbs. It was trying to bring me back into the darkness and devour my being. I had to hold onto doorway as hard as a possibly could, and made sure I wasn't going to die that night. I broke free from one of its arms and kicked it into the darkness and slammed the door on it.

I ran as fast as I could, and didn't look back. After I didn't hear the booming slams on the door, I opened one last door and lead me to a Television. I boarded up the door with all the furniture in the room, but one couch. I was tired, and needed to take a break. As I fell asleep in the dream, I woke up to find a bunch of sweat on my neck and near where the monster grabbed me in my dream, which made me flip my shit. Needless, to say, I was pretty shook after that night. I looked up the fear of being watched the next day, and it was called "Scopophobia". Thus, the spoiler's title.

With Halloween coming up as of the time of this post, I was wondering if you guys have any stories to tell here.

It was Halloween and a boy and his friend were in on their way to a dance, driving down a lonely country road in a Tesla. They saw a young girl standing at the side of the road, with her thumb out. The boys stopped to ask her if she’d like a ride. She asked them if they’d take her home but they told her they were on their way to a dance.

They asked the girl if she’d like to come too and she accepted their invitation. So they all got in the car and she sat in the back seat. It was a very cold night and she borrowed one of their overcoats.

They danced all night and when it got late, she asked them to take her home. So they drove to her house and stopped and let her out. When they arrived at the girl's house she got out of the car, and, reaching to close the door, shrieked in panic and ran into the house. The boy ran to the other side to see what was wrong and there was a charging cable around the door handle.

Suddenly one of the boys remembered he had forgotten to ask her for his overcoat. His friend said “Wait until tomorrow. We’ll come back”.

The next morning the boys returned to look for the girl. They found an old woman at home with her dog. She said that the girl was her daughter, but she'd been dead for 4 years. She had been killed in a self-driving car accident at the same corner. The old woman pointed to a Tesla factory down the road.

The boys didn’t believe her and they went to the factory and looked around. Then they saw the overcoat hung on an office door. Engraved in the door was Elon Musk’s name.

When they started to leave, they noticed Elon Musk with a large shopping bag approaching them from the direction they were going to walk out of. They told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but they didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. Elon Musk said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

The boy was taken aback, and all he could say was “Huh?” but Elon Musk kept cutting him off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of his face, chuckling as he walked out of the building.

Frozen for a few moments by his audacity, the two men finally collected their wits and dashed out the door after him, but he was already gone.

Together, they went back to the parking lot, but the car was empty and the front door was standing wide open. On the seat of the car was the large shopping bag that Elon Musk had been carrying. Inside, they found his iPhone and a signed biography.

As the boys were traveling home, a car that had been following them suddenly raced up close, and the driver flashed his lights. He accelerated in order to pull away, but the car kept pace and again flashed his lights. He accelerated again, but the car behind him kept up and continued flashing his lights.

Within moments, the boys saw flashing blue lights from an approaching police car. They watched as the police car pulled up behind them. The officer quickly exited his car, and then raced towards them. The officer pulled him quickly from the car and before he could ask what was happening he ran back to the car and opened the back door and shouted "It's safe to come out now". As the boys watched, Elon Musk got out of the back seat of the car holding his iPhone. The man who had been following them told them that he was flashing his lights every time Elon Musk would rise up from the back seat, while Elon Musk was trying to get his phone back and called the police to escape.

That night the old woman heard on the radio that Elon Musk had been sighted in town and went to bed as usual. She knew everything was okay because when she put down her hand the dog licked it. But later in the night she heard a drip, drip, drip. She put her hand down and the dog licked it. She figured everything was okay, so she went downstairs to check out the tap. But the tap wasn't dripping. So she went to bed again. And everything was okay. She woke up again later in the night, though, so she thought the dripping sound must be coming from the shower. She went into the bathroom, and there was her dog, drooling as it slept on its bed. Written on the mirror were the words "Billionaires can lick too."
 
At some point during high school in 2019, the Spanish program was preparing for a field trip to Europe. I was invited to go, but I was unusually nervous that something horrible was going to happen during the trip. I must have had this feeling nagging at me for weeks, and I couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard I tried. It got so bad at one point that I remember not wanting them to go on the trip either. To everyone else, this sounded like nothing but random paranoia. To them it must have sounded like I was just really scared for no reason. Alas, the trip went on as they had planned it, and I was in no rush to join them on the plane ride, so I stayed home.

Fast forward to after they got back from Europe. Turns out that they were inside of the Notré Dame cathedral building less than an hour before the areas they explored had caught on fire along with most of the interior. No one was hurt, thankfully, but I was already opposed to long-distance travel at this point anyways due to anxiety factors. I like to imagine that something was trying to protect me that day, because heaven knows how stressed out I'd be if I had been there.
