hey guys since it's almost spoopday and i also like to hear spooky stories i have created this thread for that exact purpose! if this has already been done before, all is well. just quietly ignore me and my ignorance.
so pretty much just give a story(or stories) about anything creepy, strange or unexplained that has happened to you. like i said, this stuff interests me and im genuinely curious

heres my list of stories:
- The night after my dog Princess had to be put down, my parents were both woken to the familiar sound of her nails clicking against the tiles. We didn't have our two currents dogs at that time, and neither of them slept that night.
- My mum recently told me that when I was a baby that she was awoken one night from my crying and went into the room across the hall to soothe me when a soft voice urged me to go to sleep. She looked into the bedroom and saw a woman leaning over my cot. She said it didn't even scare her, she was just really happy to go back to sleep
- Another story for mum: she used to work at a chicken hatchery (note: a hatchery doesn't hurt chickens; it simply incubates the eggs and sends the chicks off). A few years before her hatchery went under she was on night duty sorting the chicks into the trucks. She swears that the chickens used to talk to her and cry for their mothers.
- My family are really into hiking to the point that we hire out a cabin to stay at while we hike. This guy on a big property owns it and the house we hire used to be his own house. The first time we went there, me and my sister were exploring when we came across this room near the front of the house. We looked in, but we didn't stay long. Dad told us we could have the big room and sleep with mum and he'd stay in the front room. We both told him that he couldn't stay in 'the scary room' so he didn't. Both my mum and dad now agree that there's something eerie about that room. My dad has even invited friends up there to fish. The first time it was a larger group than my family there and two of the younger boys said they'd sleep in there. My dad woke up the next morning and they had made themselves comfortable in the big room. They claimed they got this feeling to get out of the room in the middle of the night. No one knows what's so scary about it, but something is definitely unsettling.
- A girl in my drama class was joking about the "ghost living in the prac room" (drama class has two rooms: one for theory work and one for practical activities) when suddenly every open door slammed shut. We don't joke about the ghost anymore.
- Once when we were hiking we went really deep into the bush when we caught sight of a wild dog sitting on a hill just staring at us. Big, unblinking eyes just staring at me and my dad. My dad wanted to make sure it wouldn't follow us, so he picked up a stick and threw it at the dog when it lifted its head and screamed the most human scream I've ever heard. It stood, jaws still parted but no noise coming out, and watched as we left as quickly as we could.
