A really creepy ghost story is about the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester was haunted by the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles.

There was a story of a man who was driving on a lonely country road late at night. He saw a hitchhiker in a white dress on the side of the road.

One creepy kid story is about a little boy who always stared blankly at a corner of his room at night. His parents thought he was just being imaginative. But one day, he told them there was a 'grey man' in that corner. Another is a girl who would whisper to an invisible friend in an old, abandoned house near their home. When asked, she said her friend was a 'lost child' from long ago. And there was a kid who would draw really disturbing pictures of a figure with red eyes and sharp teeth, and he said it was the 'thing that visits him in his dreams'.

One of the creepiest Man in Black stories involves a lone hiker in a remote forest. He claimed that a tall, thin man dressed all in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The man in black had no facial features that he could make out clearly. He just stood there, silently watching the hiker.

In another story, a woman found an old diary in her attic. As she read it, she started to experience the same nightmares as the person who wrote the diary decades ago. The diary contained some dark secrets and disturbing events that seemed to come to life as she delved deeper into it.
