Free True Scary Ghost Stories: What's the Scariest One You've Heard?

A friend of mine told me about an apartment where the doorknob would turn on its own at night. She was so scared that she would barricade the door every night. She thought it might be a ghost or something. Later, she found out that there was a problem with the lock mechanism that made it seem like the doorknob was turning by itself.

There was a story from a sailor. He was on a ship in the middle of the ocean. One night, he saw a figure walking on the water towards the ship. As it got closer, he could see it was a man with a pale face. The figure seemed to pass through the side of the ship and then disappeared. The sailor was so scared that he refused to go on any more long - distance voyages. This story gives me chills every time I think about it, especially the idea of something so strange happening in the middle of the vast ocean.

There was a story of a girl who always saw a figure in her mirror at night. At first, she thought it was just her imagination. But then it started to get closer and closer. She learned later that the house she lived in was built on an old cemetery. The figure was probably one of the spirits from there. It gives me chills just thinking about it.

The scariest one I heard was about a group of friends who used a Ouija board in an old abandoned house. They asked if there were any spirits present and the planchette started moving really fast to 'yes'. Then, they heard strange noises all around them and one of them felt like something was touching their hair. They ran out of the house and some of them said they had nightmares for weeks after that.

There's a story about a hospital. In the old wing, patients would report seeing a doctor with a bloody scalpel, but when they called for help, the figure would disappear. It turns out a doctor had gone mad there years ago and killed several patients. His evil presence still lingers.

The scariest one I've heard is about a campsite where a family was brutally killed. Their ghosts are said to haunt the place. Campers often report seeing the family's bloody figures walking around their campfires at night. It gives me chills just thinking about it.

There's a story where a pilot saw a handprint on the windshield that wouldn't go away. It was a small handprint, as if a child had put their hand there. As he was flying a cargo plane, there was no way a child could be on board. He later learned that a family had once died on a plane of a similar model, including a small child.

I've heard of an uber driver who picked up a girl late at night. The girl was wearing an old - fashioned dress. She gave an address to a cemetery. As they got closer to the cemetery, the radio started to play strange static noises. The girl just sat there silently. When they reached the cemetery gate, she disappeared. The driver was shocked and couldn't explain what had happened.

I heard a story where a couple used a ghost detector in a cemetery at night. The detector started showing intense activity all of a sudden. They heard strange whispers too. They were so terrified that they dropped the detector and ran away. They never went back to that cemetery again.

The scariest one I've heard is from a college near a cemetery. Students say that at midnight, they can see ghostly figures walking from the cemetery towards the college dormitories. It's really creepy because it seems like they are drawn to the living students.
