Horror stories to read from life. Scary stories from people's lives. Remember when we told each other in the camps about the red hand and black curtains? And there was always such a master of storytelling, from whom a familiar story took on the shape of a long

Most horror stories are delusional and clearly border on insanity. No matter how it is: some of them are more than just real. We will tell you about them.

Core

On March 16, 1995, Briton Terry Cottle shot himself in the bathroom of his apartment. A suicide bomber with the words “help me, I’m dying” died right in the arms of his wife Cheryl.

Healthy and well-developed, Cottle shot himself in the head, but his body remained unharmed. In order not to waste such goodness, doctors decided to donate the deceased’s organs. The widow agreed.

Cottle's 33-year-old heart was transplanted into 57-year-old Sonny Graham. The patient recovered and wrote a letter of gratitude to Cheryl. In 1996 they met and Graham felt an incredible attraction to the widow. In 2001, the sweet couple began living together, and in 2004 they got married.

But in 2008, the poor heart stopped beating forever: Sonny, for unknown reasons, also shot himself.

Earnings

How to make money like a man? Some become businessmen, others go to work in factories, others turn into clerks, slackers or journalists. But Mao Sujiyama outdid everyone: the Japanese artist cut off his manhood and prepared a savory dish from it. Moreover, there were even six crazy people who paid $250 each to eat this nightmare in the presence of 70 witnesses.

Reincarnation

In 1976, hospital orderly Allen Showery from Chicago entered the apartment of colleague Teresita Basa without permission. Probably, the guy wanted to clean out the young lady’s home, but when he saw the mistress of the house, Allen had to stab her and burn her so that the woman would not tell anything.

A year later, Remy Chua (another medical colleague) began to see Teresita's corpse wandering through the corridors of the hospital. It wouldn't be so bad if this ghost was just wandering around. So it moved into poor Remy, began to control her like a puppet, speak in Teresita’s voice and told the cops about everything that had happened.

The police, the relatives of the deceased and Remy's family were shocked by what was happening. But the killer was still split. And they put him behind bars.

Three-legged guest

It's best not to visit Enfield, Illinois. There lives a three-legged, one and a half meter tall, slippery and hairy monster with short arms. On the evening of April 25, 1973, it attacked little Greg Garrett (though it only took his sneakers), then knocked on Henry McDaniel’s house. The man was shocked by the sight. Therefore, out of fear, he fired three bullets into the unexpected guest. The monster covered 25 meters of McDaniel's yard in three leaps and disappeared.

Sheriff's deputies also encountered the Enfield monster several times. But no one managed to solve it. Some kind of mysticism.

Black Eyes

Brian Bethel is a respected journalist who has long built successful career. Therefore, he does not descend to the level of urban legends. But in the 1990s, the master of the pen started a blog in which he published a strange story.

One evening, Brian was sitting in his car parked in a movie theater parking lot. Several 10-12 year old children approached him. The journalist lowered the window, started looking for a dollar for the kids and even exchanged a few words with them. The children complained that they could not enter the cinema without an invitation, that they were cold and could he invite them into the car. And then Brian saw: in the eyes of his interlocutors there was no white at all, only rabble.

The poor guy instantly closed the window in fear and pressed the gas pedal all the way. His story is far from the only story about strange black-eyed people. Have you already seen such aliens in your area?

Green mysticism

Doris Bither is not the nicest resident of Culver City, California. She drinks constantly and abuses her sons. The woman also knows how to summon spirits. In the late 1970s, several researchers decided to verify the authenticity of her stories for themselves. It all ended with the young lady using spells in her home to actually summon a green silhouette of a man who scared everyone half to death. And one daredevil even lost consciousness.

In 1982, based on Biter’s stories, the horror film “The Entity” was made.

Real life is not only bright and pleasant, it is also scary and creepy, mysterious and unpredictable... this property of it is reflected in the scary stories that we will tell you today.

These are really scary" creepy stories" from real life

“Was it or not?” - a scary story from real life

I would never have believed such a terrible story if I had not encountered this “similar” thing myself...

I was returning from the kitchen and heard my mother screaming loudly in her sleep. So loud that we calmed her down with our whole family. In the morning they asked me to tell him about the dream - my mother said that she was not ready.

We waited for some time to pass. I returned to the conversation. This time mommy didn’t “resist.”

From her I heard this: “I was lying on the sofa. Dad was sleeping next to me. He suddenly woke up and said that he was very cold. I went to your room to ask you to close the window (you have a habit of keeping it wide open). I opened the door and saw that the closet was completely covered in thick cobwebs. I screamed and turned around to go back... And I felt that I was flying. Only then did I realize that it was a dream. When I flew into the room, I became even more scared. Your grandmother was sitting on the edge of the sofa, next to your dad. Although she died many years ago, she appeared young before me. I always dreamed that I would dream about her. But at that moment I was not happy about our meeting. Grandmother sat and was silent. And I screamed that I didn’t want to die yet. She flew up to dad on the other side and lay down. When I woke up, for a long time I could not understand whether it was a dream at all. Dad confirmed that he was cold! For a long time I was afraid to fall asleep. And at night I don’t go into my room until I wash myself with holy water.”

I still get goosebumps all over my body when I remember this mother’s story. Maybe grandma is bored and wants us to visit her at the cemetery. Oh, if it weren’t for the thousands of kilometers that separate us, I would go to see her every week!

Horror story: “Don’t go for a walk in the cemetery at night!”

Oh, that was a long time ago! This terrible story happened to me in my youth. I have just - just entered the university... The guy called me and asked if I wanted to go for a walk? Of course, I answered that I wanted to! But the question became about something else: where to go for a walk if you’re tired of all the places? We went through and listed everything we could. And then I joked: “Shall we go and wander around the cemetery?!” I laughed, and in response I heard a serious voice that agreed. It was impossible to refuse, because I did not want to show my cowardice.

Mishka picked me up at eight in the evening. We drank coffee, watched a movie and took a shower together. When it was time to get ready, Misha told me to dress in something black or dark blue. To be honest, I didn’t care what I was wearing. The main thing is to experience a “romantic walk”. It seemed to me that I would definitely not survive it!

We've gathered. We left the house. Misha got behind the wheel, even though I had a license for a long time. Fifteen minutes later we were there. I hesitated for a long time and did not leave the car. My beloved helped me! He offered his hand like a gentleman. If it weren’t for his gentlemanly gesture, I would have stayed in the salon.

Came out. He took my hand. There was a chill everywhere. The cold “came” from his hand. My heart trembled as if from cold. My intuition told me (very persistently) that we should not go anywhere. But my “other half” did not believe in intuition and its existence.

We walked somewhere, past the graves, and were silent. When I felt really creepy, I suggested returning. But there was no answer. I looked towards Mishka. And I saw that he was all transparent, like Casper from the famous old movie. The light of the moon seemed to completely pierce his body. I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t. The lump in my throat did not allow me to do this. I pulled my hand out of his hand. But I saw that everything was fine with his body, that he had become the same. But I couldn’t imagine it! I clearly saw that my beloved’s body was covered with “transparency.”

I can’t say exactly how much time passed, but we headed home. I was just happy that the car started right away. I just know what happens in films and TV series of the “creepy” genre!

I was so cold that I asked Mikhail to turn on the stove. In the summer, can you imagine?! I myself can’t imagine... We drove off. And when the cemetery ended... I again saw how for one moment Misha became invisible and transparent!

After a few seconds, he became normal and familiar again. He turned to me (I was sitting in the back seat) and said that we would take a different road. I was surprised. After all, there were very few cars in the city! One or two, probably! But I didn’t try to persuade him to go along the same route. I was glad that our walk was over. My heart was beating somehow restlessly. I chalked it all up to emotions. We drove faster and faster. I asked to slow down, but Mishka said that he really wanted to go home. At the last turn, a truck drove into us.

I woke up in the hospital. I don't know how long I lay there. The worst thing is that Mishenka died! And my intuition warned me! She was giving me a sign! But what could I do with such a stubborn person like Misha?!

He was buried in that same cemetery... I did not go to the funeral, as my condition left much to be desired.

I haven't dated anyone since then. It seems to me that I am cursed by someone and my curse is spreading.

"Terrible Secrets of the Little House"

This is a scary story about my house... My second home. Three hundred kilometers from the city house... It was there that the inheritance stood and awaited me in the form small house. I've been meaning to look at him for a long time. Yes, there was no time. And so I found some time and arrived at the place. It so happened that I arrived in the evening. She opened the door. The lock jammed as if it didn’t want to let me into the house. But I still managed to handle the castle. I walked in to the sound of creaking. It was scary, but I managed to cope with it. Five hundred times I regretted that I went alone.

I didn’t like the setting, because everything was covered in dust, dirt and cobwebs. It’s good that water was brought into the house. I quickly found a rag and began to put things in careful order.

Ten minutes into my stay in the house, I heard some noise (very similar to a groan). She turned her head to the window and saw the curtains swaying. The moonlight burned through my eyes. I saw the curtains “flash” again. A mouse ran across the floor. She scared me too. I was scared, but I continued cleaning. Under the table I found a yellowed note. It said this: “get out of here! This is not your territory, but the territory of the dead!” I sold this house and never went anywhere near it again. I don't want to remember all this horror.

10 short but very scary bedtime stories

If you need to work at night and coffee is no longer working, read these stories. They'll cheer you up. Brrr.

Faces in portraits

One man got lost in the forest. He wandered for a long time and finally came across a hut at dusk. There was no one inside, and he decided to go to bed. But he could not fall asleep for a long time, because there were portraits of some people hanging on the walls, and it seemed to him that they were looking at him ominously. Eventually he fell asleep from exhaustion. In the morning he was awakened by a bright sunlight. There were no paintings on the walls. These were windows.

Count to five

One winter, four students from a mountaineering club got lost in the mountains and ended up in snow storm. They managed to reach an abandoned and empty house. There was nothing in it to keep warm, and the guys realized that they would freeze if they fell asleep in this place. One of them suggested this. Everyone stands in the corner of the room. First, one runs to the other, pushes him, the latter runs to the third, etc. This way they will not fall asleep, and the movement will warm them up. Until the morning they ran along the walls, and in the morning rescuers found them. When the students later talked about their salvation, someone asked: “If there is one person in each corner, then when the fourth reaches the corner, there should be no one there. Why didn’t you stop then?” The four looked at each other in horror. No, they never stopped.

Damaged film

One girl photographer decided to spend the day and night alone, in a deep forest. She was not afraid, because this was not the first time she had gone hiking. She spent the day photographing trees and grass with a film camera, and in the evening settled down to sleep in her small tent. The night passed peacefully; horror overtook her only a few days later. All four reels produced excellent images, with the exception of last frame. All the photographs were of her, sleeping peacefully in her tent in the darkness of the night.

Call from the nanny

One day, a married couple decided to go to the cinema and leave the children with a babysitter. They put the children to bed, so the young woman just had to stay home just in case. Soon the girl got bored and decided to watch TV. She called her parents and asked their permission to turn on the TV. They naturally agreed, but she had one more request... she asked if it was possible to cover the statue of an angel outside the window with something, because it made her nervous. The phone went quiet for a second, and then the father who was talking to the girl said: “Take the kids and run from the house... we'll call the police. We don't have an angel statue." The police found everyone remaining at home dead. The angel statue was never discovered.

Who's there?

About five years ago, late at night, 4 short bells rang at my door. I woke up, got angry and didn’t open the door: I wasn’t expecting anyone. On the second night someone called again 4 times. I looked out the peephole, but there was no one outside the door. During the day I told this story and joked that death must have taken the wrong door. On the third evening, an acquaintance came to see me and stayed up late. The doorbell rang again, but I pretended not to notice anything to check: maybe I was hallucinating. But he heard everything perfectly and, after my story, exclaimed: “Well, let’s deal with these jokers!” and ran out into the yard. That night I saw him last time. No, he didn't disappear. But on the way home he was beaten by a drunken company, and he died in the hospital. The calls stopped. I remembered this story because last night I heard three short rings on the door.

Twin

My girlfriend wrote today that she didn’t know that I had such a charming brother, and even a twin! It turns out that she had just stopped by my house, not knowing that I stayed at work until night, and he met her there. Introduced himself, treated me to coffee, told a few funny stories from childhood and walked me to the elevator.

I don’t even know how to tell her that I don’t have a brother.

Damp fog

It was in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The climbers set up camp near a small mountain lake. Around midnight everyone wanted to sleep. Suddenly a noise was heard from the direction of the lake: either crying or laughter. Friends (there were five of them) decided to check what was the matter. They found nothing near the shore, but saw a strange fog in which white lights glowed. The guys went to the lights. We took just a couple of steps towards the lake... And then one, who was walking last, noticed that he was standing knee-deep in icy water! He pulled the two closest to him, they came to their senses and got out of the fog. But the two who walked ahead disappeared into the fog and water. It was impossible to find them in the cold and in the dark. Early morning the survivors hurried after the rescuers. They didn't find anyone. And by evening, the two who had just plunged into the fog also died.

Photo of a girl

One high school student was bored in class and looked out the window. On the grass he saw a photograph thrown by someone. He went out into the yard and picked up the photograph: it showed a very beautiful girl. She was wearing a dress, red shoes, and she was showing the V sign with her hand. The guy began asking everyone if they had seen this girl. But no one knew her. In the evening he put the photo near his bed, and at night he was awakened by a quiet sound, as if someone was scratching on the glass. A woman's laughter was heard in the darkness outside the window. The boy left the house and began to look for the source of the voice. He quickly moved away, and the guy did not notice how, hurrying after him, he ran out onto the roadway. He was hit by a car. The driver jumped out of the car and tried to save the downed man, but it was too late. And then the man noticed a photograph on the ground beautiful girl. She was wearing a dress, red shoes and was showing three fingers.

Grandma Marfa

Grandfather told this story to his granddaughter. As a child, he found himself with his brothers and sisters in a village that the Germans were approaching. The adults decided to hide the children in the forest, in the forester's house. They agreed that Baba Marfa would carry the food for them. But returning to the village was strictly forbidden. This is how the children lived through May and June. Every morning Martha left food in the barn. At first the parents also came running, but then they stopped. The children looked at Martha through the window, she turned and silently, sadly looked at them and baptized the house. One day two men approached the house and invited the children to come with them. These were partisans. From them the children learned that their village was burned a month ago. They also killed Baba Martha.

Do not open the door!

A twelve-year-old girl lived with her father. They had a great relationship. One day my father was planning to stay late at work and said that he would return late at night. The girl waited for him, waited, and finally went to bed. She dreamed a strange dream: the father stood on the other side of the busy highway and shouted something to her. She barely heard the words: “Don’t... open... the door.” And then the girl woke up from the bell. She jumped out of bed, ran to the door, looked through the peephole and saw her father's face. The girl was about to open the lock when she remembered the dream. And my father’s face was somehow strange. She stopped. The bell rang again.
- Dad?
Ding, ding, ding.
- Dad, answer me!
Ding, ding, ding.
- Is there anyone there with you?
Ding, ding, ding.
- Dad, why don’t you answer? - the girl almost cried.
Ding, ding, ding.
- I won’t open the door until you answer me!
The doorbell kept ringing and ringing, but the father was silent. The girl sat huddled in the corner of the hallway. This went on for about an hour, then the girl fell into oblivion. At dawn she woke up and realized that the doorbell was no longer ringing. She crept to the door and looked through the peephole again. Her father was still standing there and looking straight at her. The girl carefully opened the door and screamed. Her father's severed head was nailed to the door at peephole level.
There was a note attached to the doorbell with just two words: “Smart girl.”

We present to your attention photos that, at first glance, may seem quite ordinary and harmless. But what made them famous was the fact that terrible events were hidden behind each of them. It’s unlikely that any of us think that this or that photograph could be the last in our lives or precede a tragedy. For example, not long ago, newlyweds on vacation were photographed a second before the accident. And if it is impossible to capture death itself, then in each of the photographs presented below it is definitely invisibly present.

Survivors. At first glance, there is nothing unusual in this photo. Until you notice a gnawed human spine in the lower right corner.

The subjects of the photo are the players of the Uruguayan rugby team "Old Cristians" from Montevideo, who survived the plane crash on October 13, 1972: the plane crashed in the Andes. Of the 40 passengers and 5 crew members, 12 died in the disaster or shortly after it; then 5 more died the next morning..

Search operations stopped on the eighth day, and the survivors had to fight for life for more than two months. Since food supplies quickly ran out, they had to eat the frozen corpses of their friends.

Without receiving help, some of the victims made a dangerous and long journey through the mountains, which turned out to be successful. 16 men were rescued.

In 2012 star of Mexican music Jenni Rivera died in a plane crash. The selfie on the plane was taken a few minutes before the tragedy.

No one survived the plane crash

Thunderstorm games. In August 1975, a girl from the United States, Mary McQuilken, photographed her two brothers: Michael and Sean, with whom she spent time on the top of one of the cliffs in California. national park redwoods.

A second after the photo was taken, all three were struck by lightning. Only 18-year-old Michael managed to survive. In this photo is the boys' sister Mary.

It is worth noting that the atmospheric discharge was so powerful and close that the young people’s hair literally stood on end. Survivor Michael works as a computer engineer and still receives emails asking questions about what happened that day.

Regina Walters. Photographed a 14-year-old girl Serial killer named Robert Ben Rhodes a few seconds before killing... The maniac took Regina into an abandoned barn, cut her hair and forced her to wear a black dress and shoes.

Rhodes traveled around the United States in a huge trailer, which he equipped as a torture chamber. At least three people a month became his victims.

Walters was one of those who fell into the trap of a maniac. Her body was found in a barn that was to be burned.

"Fire!"In April 1999, high school students from the American Columbine School posed for a group photo. Behind the general gaiety, two guys pretending to point a rifle and a pistol at the camera hardly attracted attention.

But in vain. A few days later, these guys, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, showed up at Columbine with weapons and homemade explosives: their victims were 13 fellow students and 23 people were injured.

The crime was carefully planned, which led to such a number of victims.

The culprits were not detained, because in the end they shot themselves. It later became known that the teenagers had been outsiders at school for many years, and the incident became a cruel act of revenge.

Girl with black eyes. You might think that this is a scene from a horror movie, but, unfortunately, this is real photo. In November 1985, the Ruiz volcano erupted in Colombia, as a result of which the province of Armero was covered with mudflows.

13-year-old Omayra Sanchez became a victim of the tragedy: her body got stuck in the rubble of a building, as a result, the girl stood up to her neck in mud for three days. Her face was swollen, her hands were almost white, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Rescuers tried to rescue the girl different ways, but in vain.

Three days later, Omaira fell into agony, stopped responding to people and eventually died.

Family photo. It would seem that in the photo Victorian era, which depicts a father, mother and daughter, there is nothing strange. The only peculiarity: the girl came out very clearly in the photo, but her parents were blurry. Can you guess why? Before us is one of the popular ones in those days post-mortem photographs, and the girl depicted on it died shortly before of typhus.

The corpse remained motionless in front of the lens, which is why it appeared clearly: photographs in those days were taken with long exposures, which is why it took a very, very long time to pose. Perhaps this is why “post-mortem” photos (i.e. “after death”) have become incredibly fashionable. Oddly enough, the heroine of this photo is also already dead.

The woman in this photo died in childbirth. They even installed it in photo salons special devices to fix the corpses, and the eyes of the dead were opened and a special agent was instilled into them so that the mucous membrane did not dry out and the eyes did not become cloudy.

Fatal dive. It would seem that there is nothing strange in this photo of divers. However, why does one of them lie at the very bottom?

Divers accidentally discovered the body of 26-year-old Tina Watson, who died on October 22, 2003, during her honeymoon. The girl and her husband named Gabe went to Honeymoon to Australia, where they decided to go diving.

Underwater, the lover turned off the young wife’s oxygen tank and held her at the bottom until she suffocated. Later, the criminal, who received a life sentence, said that his goal was to obtain insurance.

Sad father. At a quick glance, there is nothing unusual in this photo of a pensive African man, but upon closer inspection, you will notice that a severed child’s foot and hand lie in front of the man.

The photo shows a Congolese rubber plantation worker who was unable to work out the quota. As punishment, the overseers ate his five-year-old daughter, giving the remains for edification... This was practiced quite often, as can be seen from other photographs.

At the same time, white officers and overseers presented it as evidence that they had destroyed a local cannibal right hand. The desire to rise in the ranks led to the fact that everyone's hands were cut off, including children, and those who pretended to be dead could remain alive...

Assassin with a sword. It would seem like a Halloween photo, wouldn't it? 21-year-old Swede, Anton Lundin Peterson, came to one of the Trollhatten schools dressed like this on October 22, 2015. Two schoolchildren decided that what was happening was a joke and joyfully took pictures with a stranger in a strange outfit.

After that, Peterson stabbed these young men and went for the next victims. He ended up killing one teacher and four children. The police opened fire on him and he died from his wounds in the hospital.

Dying tourist. Americans Sailor Gilliams and Brenden Vega went hiking in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, but due to inexperience they got lost. There was no connection, and due to the heat and lack of water, the girl was left completely exhausted. Brendan went for help, but fell to his death after falling off a cliff.

And these photos were taken by the group experienced tourists, who returned home with horror and noticed a red-haired girl lying unconscious on the ground. Rescuers went by helicopter to the scene of the tragedy, Sailor survived.

Kidnapping two-year-old James Bulger. It would seem that what is strange is that an older boy leads a younger one by the hand? But behind this photo lies a terrible tragedy...

Jon Venables and Robert Thompson were taken from shopping center two-year-old James Bulger was brutally beaten, had his face covered in paint, and left to die on railroad tracks.

The 10-year-old killers were found thanks to surveillance video. The criminals received the maximum sentence for their age - 10 years, which extremely outraged the public and the victim's mother. Moreover, in 2001 they were released and received documents under new names.

In 2010, it was revealed that Jon Venables had been returned to prison for an unspecified parole violation.

Any doctor knows that healthy people No. Moreover, mentally healthy...
I’ll tell you a story I heard from the lips of one of my St. Petersburg friends. For reasons that will become clear below, I will change her name somewhat.

Alina had been divorced for more than three years. After ten years together and quite normal family life she and her husband parted ways. Maybe because they knew each other since childhood and during this time they became quite fed up with each other. Maybe because the spouse sometimes gave reasons for justified jealousy. And Alina herself cuckolded her husband several times. True, not as openly as he...

In three years of freedom from marriage, the thirty-five-year-old woman has seen a lot of men. Of course, not in the full sense of the word. Most meetings ended with the first innocent date in a cafe or park. Why waste time on a bad option in advance?
With each new gentleman, experience increased. Alina learned within the first ten minutes of communication to imagine what kind of fruit or vegetable was blowing her cheeks. She did not double-check how correct her assessment turned out to be, completely relying on her feminine intuition.
