True Xmas Ghost Stories: What are some of the most spine - chilling ones?

One of the top true ghost stories is the Amityville Horror. The Lutz family claimed to experience terrifying paranormal activities in their new home, like strange noises, cold spots, and apparitions. It was so extreme that they left the house in a hurry.

A truly terrifying true police ghost story took place in a small town. The police received reports of a woman in a white dress wandering the streets late at night. When they went to investigate, they found no one. But the reports kept coming. One officer even said he saw the figure briefly and felt an overwhelming sense of dread. It was later discovered that a woman had died tragically in that area many years ago, and her spirit seemed to be trapped there, still roaming the streets she once knew.

One really scary voodoo story is about a doll. A woman found a strange voodoo doll in an old attic. At night, she started having nightmares of a shadowy figure. Every time she touched the doll, she felt a strange chill. Eventually, she got rid of the doll and the nightmares stopped.

One of the best haunted house ghost stories is about the Winchester Mystery House. It was continuously built for 38 years by Sarah Winchester. People say that the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles haunted the house. There are strange staircases that lead to nowhere and doors that open to walls. It's said that Sarah was trying to confuse the ghosts with the maze - like construction of the house.

Well, the Winchester Mystery House has a ghostly story. It was continuously built and rebuilt in a very strange way, and many believe it was to confuse the spirits. There are tales of strange noises and sightings there. Also, the Myrtles Plantation is famous for its ghost stories. It's said that there are ghosts of slaves and a young girl who was murdered on the property. People have reported seeing apparitions and feeling a sense of unease.

The unknown is a big factor. When you can't explain what's happening, like sudden cold drafts in a warm room or objects moving on their own, it's really spooky.

One story is about a girl who had an imaginary friend named Lucy. At first, Lucy seemed normal, but then she started whispering strange things at night.

The 'Candyman' legend is also quite terrifying. Supposedly, if you say his name five times while looking in a mirror, he will appear and bring misfortune or death. It's often set in urban, run - down areas. This legend plays on our fear of the unknown and the power of superstition.

The story of the Queen Mary ship is also terrifying. There have been numerous reports of ghosts on the ship. People claim to see the apparitions of sailors who died on board.
