Can you share more strange family creepy stories?

Sure. There was a family where every night, they would hear strange scratching noises coming from the attic. One day, a young family member went up to check. All they found was an old, tattered doll that none of them had ever seen before. It gave them all chills.

There was a family where a young girl started having vivid dreams about an old relative she'd never met. In the dreams, the relative would whisper strange things to her. One day, she found an old photo of that very relative hidden in a book in the attic, and it was taken in the exact same spot where she always saw the relative in her dreams. It gave the whole family chills.

Sure. There's the story of the Amityville Horror. A family moved into a house where a gruesome murder had taken place. Strange things started to happen. Doors would open and close on their own, and there were cold spots throughout the house. The family also reported seeing a demonic figure. Eventually, they fled the house in fear.

In a certain family, there was a tradition that on every family member's birthday, they had to wear a costume that represented their favorite childhood toy. So, you would see a grown man dressing up as a teddy bear or a middle - aged woman as a Barbie doll on their birthdays. It was a strange family tradition that always made for interesting birthday parties.

Sure. There was a field trip to an old museum. The power went out briefly and when it came back on, a mannequin had moved. It was really creepy for the students. They thought the place was haunted.

The old doll in the corner moved. Its eyes followed me as I walked across the room.

One strange family lineage story I've heard is about a family who claimed to be descendants of a mermaid. According to their story, their ancestor was a sailor who married a mermaid and they had children. Of course, it's more of a mythical family legend. Another is a family that said they were related to a famous wizard in old tales. They had heirlooms that were supposed to have magical powers.

There was a family where the parents always thought their child was lying about having an imaginary friend. But it turned out the child was actually seeing the spirit of an old relative who used to live in the house. This created a lot of confusion and trouble as the parents didn't believe the child at first and even took the child to a psychologist.

Sure. Take the story of the Okiku doll in Japan. It was bought by a young boy for his sister. But soon after, his sister died. The doll's hair started growing longer on its own. Some believe it was because of the girl's spirit. It is now a very well - known spooky doll in Japanese folklore.

Often, these stories originate from the high emotions and traumas associated with hospitals. Deaths, especially unexpected ones, create an atmosphere of unease. For example, if a patient dies during a difficult surgery, the shock and sadness can fuel the idea of a ghostly presence. It could also be due to the old and often spooky architecture of some hospitals, with long corridors and dimly lit areas.
