Reddit was asked "What is the creepiest, most blood chilling thing you or someone you know have ever experienced?" and here are the answers. [PART I]
1- Green Baby - By (u/BroffaloSoldier)
Not necessarily paranormal, but this was something that both creeped me out quite thoroughly and chilled my blood to ice water. I was working at a crematory/funeral home at the time. I'd just picked up the body of a girl my age from the county coroner's office and was going through the check in procedure (which consisted of lots of paperwork, fingerprints, documentation of belongings, etc). Now when a body comes to us from the coroner, it's typically an unexpected death that occurred under questionable circumstances. This particular one, I could tell by simply looking at her, was a drug overdose. She had very obvious injection sites in her arms, thigh, one on her foot, and what appeared to be needle marks all over her lower abdomen. Like... It looked like this chick went to fucking town stabbing herself in the belly. This was strange to me, because I know that isn't a typical place to inject drugs (especially because this girl was a bit on the large side), nor is it usually a place where the pathologist will draw fluids in a case like this.
Anyway, I shrugged it off and began to document her personal items, which come to us zipped up in the body bag in a black trash bag. Usually the coroner's office provides a detailed list of belongings for liability reasons; this case came with no such list, so it surprised me to see that she did indeed have a property bag with her, tucked under a leg. I tore the bag open and out flopped a fully developed, completely green, dead baby, with a very smooshed head. You can imagine my shock; opening the bag, expecting to find shoes, clothes, maybe a wallet, and instead a tiny human plopping out.
Long story short(ened), the family did not know, and telling them was horrifying in and of itself. There was absolutely NO sort of documentation on this fully developed human, and the coroner was just as shocked as we were. Some jackass autopsy tech had just stuffed the baby in a bag in hopes of us not finding it and cremating it to save themselves some time on paperwork and dealing with an (already) distraught family. An autopsy was done on the baby, family and friends were questioned, the whole nine yards.
Later a friend of the deceased disclosed that she was the only one who the girl had told about being pregnant... And her plans to try and give herself a late stage abortion by injecting heroin straight into her womb.
Pretty messed up. Needless to say, I was always hesitant when opening property bags in fear of finding another dead, green infant as opposed to a pair of Nikes.
2- Missing - By (u/Ya_Boi_Henry_Clay)
When my friend's dad was around 17 years old, he decided to go camping with about 8 or so of his friends. This took place in the Wisconsin forest. When they got to the site, they decided to split up to collect firewood in groups of two, and meet back at the site in around 20 minutes. One group wasn't back right away, and since they were a couple, they just assumed they were fornicating in some bushes, and cracked a couple jokes about it. After around an hour they decided they should probably go look for them, and headed off to search in the area they had been collecting wood.
They saw behind a bush part of the girl's bloody shirt, and the man's shoes were lying scattered around the scene. They quickly rushed back to their car so they could drive to the park ranger's office, which was about 5 miles away, and report the incident. However, they found that their gas had been siphoned, so they had no choice but to walk. On their walk back to the office, they saw a semi pass by with one driver and two faces pressed up against the window, which they believe were their friends begging for help.
The two friends were reported missing and have never been found to this day.
3- Rocking Grandpa - By (u/karmar13)
I was born and raised in the country outside a small northeastern Indiana "town". I lived in a house that my great-great-great-great grandfather and his brothers built, as well as 4 other homes directly around my house, where his brothers & their wives lived back in their time. So, by the time I lived in it as a child, it was well into 100 years old, and had been remodeled by my grandma and grandpa in the 1970s.
So before we lived there, my maternal grandparents lived there, my grandpa was diagnosed with idiopathic cystic fibrosis of the lungs, way back in the early 1980's. I was born in 1989, and in 1990 he was blessed with receiving the first lung transplant in northern Indiana. At a very young age I have two distinct memories of him being home, with oxygen tubes in his nose, and pulling his oxygen tank around the house to sit in his favorite rocker/recliner. He passed away in 1991 from rejection.
So, the creepy part. Back in 2006, I was pregnant with my first child and near my due date. It was during the day and I was really uncomfortable and my hips/lower back was hurting. So I decided to drive to mom & dads & take a nap in their waterbed thinking the heat may help. So, I get there and mom & I sat in the kitchen (off from the living room) to talk for a few minutes. During a lull in conversation, I distinctly hear a "squeak...squeak" like squeaky tires. I kind of nonchalantly look around to see where the noise could be coming from. I don't see anything. I glance at my mom and see she's looking around too. Right as I'm about to ask her if she hears that, I see from the corner of my eye a figure walk past the entryway to the kitchen, walking into the living room. Since I was already looking at mom (hence why I saw it out of the corner of my eye) I could see she def saw something as well as her eyes got that "deer in headlights look" and her face went pale. She looked at me and put her finger over her closed mouth like a "shh" sound, and we both stood up quietly and walked to the kitchen/living room hall/entryway, and looked into the living room. In the living room the rocker recliner mom had was rocking back and forth like someone was sitting in it rocking. I looked back at mom with a "are you fucking seeing this?" Expression just in time to see her hands fly up to her open mouth, I snap my head back around and plainly see my dead (for at this time 15+ years) grandfather (mom's dad) sitting in the chair, rocking, for about two rocks, I quickly glance back at mom to make sure she's seeing this, and look back and he was gone & the chair was completely still.
Legit freakiest thing that has ever happened to me, was not scared, was just in disbelief. So glad my mom was there or I would have thought I'd gone insane.
4- The Sewer - By (u/TheLagDemon)
In college I worked security for extra money. One of my regular assignments was the overnight shift at a metal fabrication factory. One of the primary reasons I was there was to ensure that no one broke in to steal all the valuable metal that was stocked on site (which was an occasional problem). That, in turn, involved checking the perimeter fence for damage at least once a shift. That couldn't be done effectively by camera; it instead required physically walking the fence. So it was that one night I was walking the perimeter fence in the middle of a thunderstorm. My attention was on the beam of my flashlight illuminating the fence as I walked past. So, I wasn't really focused on where I was walking, despite walking through grass that was a bit over my waist.
Apparently I just stepped awkwardly on a patch of particularly slick grass or mud as I was heading down hill, but before I knew what was happening I had slid feet first into an open storm sewer. Some asshole had stolen the manhole cover recently and the edges around the opening were wet with rain and mud thanks to the storm.
Let me just take a moment to explain this storm sewer. First off, it was shaped just like an oubliette. If you're not familiar with what that is, picture a concrete cell that is shaped like a jug - a small opening at the top with sides that slope inward to prevent someone from crawling out. In this case the bottom was maybe 10ft square and the opening for the manhole was about twice the normal width in the center of the ceiling. There was no ladder attached and the fall was maybe 20 feet down. At the bottom the floor was sloped to form two trenches, in the shape of a cross. There were sewer channels going off in 4 directions, but they were only maybe a foot wide across and were blocked with metal grates. At the bottom, there was debris, including a number of large broken pieces of rebar. There were several pieces that were pointing straight up. I definitely would have impaled myself on several jagged points of rusty metal, had I hit the bottom.
So, no way to escape, a long fall and a probable disabling injury at the bottom.
I somehow caught myself by hooking the edge of the opening on my elbow as I fell in. I dropped my flashlight to the bottom of the pit before I stopped my momentum, so I had a great view of all that broken rebar below me while I was struggling to escape (maybe that was the collapsed remains of the ladder?). As I tried to get another handhold, my cell phone skipped out of my pocket and hit the bottom.
It felt like forever before I somehow pulled myself out of that opening. I don't doubt adrenaline gave me a considerable boost of strength. But even so, I nearly lost my hold on the edge three times before I managed to scramble out. I was kind of just jerking my knees towards the opening and "jumping" a couple inches thanks to the momentum. My free hand kept scrambling for something solid to grab but I never really found anything. I'm honestly not sure how exactly I pulled myself out just using the surface tension between the mud & concrete and my hands & forearm. It felt like a miracle.
All I could think of after I pulled myself out was how I wasn't due to be relieved for another seven hours, seven hours before anyone would even start wondering where I was and that whole time I might have been trapped at the bottom of a pit, impaled on some rods of rebar, in the rain. I also wanted to kill whoever stole that manhole cover.
And yes, I did finish my shift after spending some quality time with a first aid kit and sewing some gashes in my uniform closed. I never did get my cell phone back, though luckily that was my company issued one.
5- Gut feeling - By (u/KaiserApe)
This makes me want to share a story that was told to me by people I knew quite a while back. Hope you don't mind.
This girl I knew worked at a Dunkin Donuts, which was open kind of late. A guy came in and ordered something, nothing strange about it, and he wasn't acting weird or anything. This girl started to get this feeling like something was terribly wrong but she didn't know why. It was so strong that she apparently decided to call the police, even though she had no concrete reason. The police show up and take a look around, and eventually decide to search this guy's car (for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me, I wasn't there after all). They actually found a young girl (late teens I think) tied up and gagged in the trunk of his car. Thank goodness for this girl's gut feeling and that the cops came by even though she really couldn't give a good reason. Who knows what would have happened to the girl in the trunk.
I was able to confirm this story with the person it actually happened to, as well as her coworker. They showed me a news article about it and everything. Shit was wild.
6- Nice Sunset - By (u/NotTooDeep)
I was on a business trip from San Fran to L.A. Last day in town, I finish early and head to, yep, the beach. Stop by a pay phone, call the airline, “may I please have a later flight so I can watch the sunset from the beach?”
Nice airline lady says it's done.
Later that night, I get home. My wife is laughing her ass off. "I knew you weren't dead!" she kept saying.
Turns out, the owners of the company I worked for, the same guys that had bought the original tickets for the flight, had been calling her, telling her how sorry they were for her loss. My supervisor was in tears, and my wife is laughing, telling them all I'm not dead.
My original flight home was that Southwest Airlines flight from the 80s where a disgruntled baggage handler had gotten on the plane with a pistol and put a bullet in the backs of the heads of the two pilots. The plane crashed and burned, killing all on board, near San Luis Obispo.
It was a good sunset on the beach.
In case anyone was curious: Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771
7- Crazy Husband - By (u/KayeChan)
My cousin used to be a divorce lawyer in Arkansas. He was representing the wife. The husband was abusive and kind of crazy. Well, the husband starts believing his wife was with my cousin. So he kidnapped my cousin. Tied him up and put him in the basement. Beat him and dripped Acid on him for 3 fucking days. On the 3rd day husband said he would go get wife, make her watch cousin die then kill wife. So husband left, cousin somewhat untied himself. Got out of the house and rolled down the street until someone picked him up. The couple that found him were scared and dumped him into a Walmart parking lot and called 911.
100% true. Here's the proof.
8- Under the bed - By (u/FloddenPRG)
A girl I know is friends with another girl. This 2nd girl came home from school (she lived in an apartment) and her parents were out working. She went into the kitchen, ate something and then went into her room to do some homework. Her bed was positioned sideways along the wall (the long side of the bed against the wall) and her wardrobe with a full-length mirror facing the other long side of the bed. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at it, when she saw an arm under her bed. She immediately walked (slowly, not running) to the bathroom, locked herself in and called her mother. Police came and voilà - got the guy still under the bed. Turns out he is a serial rapist.
9- Glitch - By (u/MrDonaldJTrump)
When I was about 13 years old I owned a Dell laptop. One day I had invited my best friend at the time over to play counter strike with me. My friend didn't own a computer and my family computer was too crappy to run counter strike so we would end up taking turns. After a few hours my friend's mom picked us up and took us over to his house to spend the night. My friend wanted to show me Morrowind on his Xbox so I had left my laptop at home.
When we got to his room I spotted my laptop's case propped up against the foot of his bed. I asked him how it got there to which he replied "You left it over here last time you came over." I knew this wasn't true as I remembered grabbing my laptop charger out of my case while we were playing counter strike at my place. So I go over to the foot of his bed and pick up the case and it feels pretty heavy. After a short glance I concluded it definitely was my case and decided to open it. When I opened the case I found the laptop we had just been playing on at my house fitting snugly in its pouch. We were both immediately horrified that my laptop had somehow made its way into his room. I pulled the laptop out of the pouch and found it was in hibernation. I pressed the power button and the screen flickered on to reveal the title screen of counter strike. The battery was at 100% and everything was working fine.
My friend was telling me that the case had been at his house for a week and was empty the entire time. At the same time I know for a fact that I never moved my laptop from my desk at home. We asked his mom if she had brought it with us and she had no idea what we were talking about. I decided to call my dad and ask if my I had left my laptop at home. My dad told me that I had and my laptop was sitting on my desk. At this point I was freaking out. When did I get two EXACTLY IDENTICAL laptops?
The next morning when I had gotten back to my house I brought the second laptop home with me. Only to find that my laptop wasn't on my desk as my dad had told me. My laptop's case also wasn't where I had left it.
This entire experience was truly terrifying to me as it almost seemed like a glitch in reality. It was some freak phenomenon that shouldn't be possible and is the one truly supernatural experience I've ever had.
10- Three Tales - By (u/PistolEnvy)
.jpg)
Posted this before to a similar AskReddit question but have two more to add.
• I saw a man get shot pretty much point blank in the face in early 2000s. I was in a bar in Moscow waiting for a friend chatting with the bartender, I hear a commotion next to me as I see a guy take a step back whip out a gun point at a guys face and pull a trigger. The guy just slummed and hit the floor and that's when I saw blood. Immediate ringing in the ears, screams and folks froze as we thought this guy will continue shooting. Turns out, the guy was in the police force and shot this guy as he was part of some sort of a gang who have murdered another cop from his station.
• I was around 10 very early 90s, we've just moved to Moscow from a small town in Siberia and bought new furniture. Turns out the furniture store forgot one of the items and said that someone will drop it off tomorrow. Not uncommon in Russia, kids were okay being home alone even at 10. So I am at home after school when two dudes knock on the door carrying a box saying that they are from the furniture store, they were not. I got tied up and roughed up and they robbed the house clean but left me alive. I was able to identify one of them a year later while the other one was killed in a car accident, karma = bitch. The first guy got 7 years of hard labor and I am sure has been releasing silent farts from the first day there.
• Also Moscow 93 when Yeltsin decided to fire upon the Duma. Just the amount of dead people laid out to be identified by their relatives, wailing mothers and wives. The smell of burnt rubber and crackling glass under feet. What struck me the most was how there would be a janitor next to some big wig politicians laying there side by side with their head propped up on the brick all equal in death. That one scared me for a while as of course my friend and I snuck out without our parents knowing. I guess the lesson learnt there was that at the end of the game all chess pieces go into the same box.
