Spooky Story Time

I thought sleep deprivation was making me see things... until my baby started smiling at something pacing in the nursery, and toys began coming back with fingerprints too big to be his.

This is the story I’ve never said out loud. It started with a shadow on the baby monitor. I tried to explain it away - bad lighting, exhaustion, anything rational - but then Leo began giggling at things I couldn’t see, and offering his toys to someone who wasn’t there. Someone he calls The Tall Man.

This is a quiet, unsett...

I heard someone sobbing in the stall next to mine in the campus bathroom. When security opened the door, the stall was empty. Locked, silent, and impossible.

I still feel the cold tile under my slippers and the echo of that hysterical wail. It was finals week, the library a fluorescent tomb, and the crying started soft and private before escalating into a raw, terrified sound that made my skin crawl. But there was nothing - no backpack, no jacket, no sign anyone had been inside.

The memory has followed me ever since: the sudden...

I got into a ride‑share after my car broke down and the driver called me by my full name - my private middle name - and then told me he’d been waiting for this ride.

I ran.

I’m still running.

I’m telling this because it happened to me and because I need other women to hear what can happen when a stranger knows more than they should.

One ordinary Tuesday night my car died on the M2. A black Audi arrived, the driver said my name like he owned...

A stranger at a crowded bar raised a crystal flute and toasted me with three words... “to your last New Year,” then vanished.

That toast has been the drumbeat of my life for a year.

I’m telling this quietly because I don’t want to invite more attention, only to share what it’s like to live under a sentence.

One midnight, a man in an impossibly sharp suit appeared beside my booth, offered a single, chilling toast, and left behind a heavy crystal flute. Since then I’ve quit drinking, lost my job, and...

I came home one evening to find my keys on the kitchen counter and my slippers arranged like a message. By the time I hid a camera, the footage showed someone who looked exactly like me, living my life, smoothing my comforter, and leaving a strand of dark hair on my shoes. I’m terrified, and I need you to hear this.

For six months my apartment has been subtly rearranged. Small, intimate intrusions at first. A strand of hair that wasn’t mine. A hidden nanny cam that captured a version of me walking in and acti...

Windward is a coastal village where the sea keeps a terrible bargain.

A single, monstrous bell toll at 3 a.m. names the next soul to be claimed by an ancient covenant, and this time, I became the unwilling successor to the Salted Hand.

What begins as local folklore unfolds into a visceral, maritime horror: a belfry stained with brine, a dragging sound from the dark, and a cold, salt‑scented mark on the narrator’s hand that marks the passing of a burden no one can refuse.

Listeners who enjoy coastal folklore, ritualistic haun...

Havenwood’s quaint December charm hides a ritual that chills the town to its bones.

Each Christmas Eve, a reclusive resident dons an immaculate scarlet suit and walks the streets in silence. At first a local eccentric, his midnight rounds become something far darker when families begin to change, children fall ill, and a tiny carved token appears on a windowsill.

But one year, Arthur stops outside my home. A perfectly carved wooden mouse is left at the window, etched with the initials A.F. and the single word NICE. That small object becomes a te...

I never thought a greeting card could ruin my life, but for twelve Decembers it has. Every year a new card arrives—first a glittery Santa, then a photo taken through my window, then a strand of my own hair tucked behind a pressed flower—and each one escalates the terror. I moved, changed my locks, installed cameras, and even filed reports, but the cards keep coming, always beginning the first week of December and always getting closer.

This episode is my story of escalation and resolve. I describe the creeping dread of being watched, the small, pers...

A twenty‑year nightmare becomes disturbingly real when I return to my childhood street to confront the source of decades of sleep‑paralysing dreams.

What was meant to be a rational, daylight exorcism of memory turns into a confrontation with an impossible, decaying house that matches every architectural detail of the recurring dream.

A brass key, a chipped ceramic fawn, and a black‑peepholed door built on a void forces them to face the terrifying possibility that the dream is not merely a product of the mind but a place that can appear, and disappear, at wil...

Turn off the lights for tonight's chilling tale of shared living gone impossibly wrong. In The Outside Lock, a new tenant moves into a perfect Victorian flat and meets their roommate Chloe only once - a brief glimpse through a cracked door.

For three months, Chloe exists only as notes on creamy cardstock, the scent of rosewater, and precise morning sounds. But when she discovers Chloe's door is bolted from the outside and uses the spare key to investigate, they find an empty room with only a farewell note thanking them "for never asking." Yet every morning...

On this episode, a grieving sibling downloads a viral app as a desperate distraction and receives a reply that should be impossible.

What begins as cynical curiosity turns into a bone‑deep shock when the app answers with private memories only the narrator and their late sister shared. A hidden locket, a childhood secret about a botched haircut, and a napkin note no one else knew about arrive as text messages from beyond - or from a disturbingly clever scam.

This episode explores themes of loss, longing, and the dangerous comfort of technology that promises to...

On this chilling episode of Spooky Story Time, you are invited aboard a late‑night train where routine commutes dissolve into something far more sinister. An exhausted passenger awakens to find themselves surrounded by eerily silent travelers, a conductor who speaks in robotic monotone, and a landscape outside the window that feels less like Kent and more like a void.

What begins as a missed stop spirals into a surreal nightmare of flickering lights, distorted station signs, and a carriage full of passengers who seem more statue than human. Was it simply the fever dream of an ov...

Turn off the lights for tonight's unsettling tale of childhood terror in an old house. In The Music Box, a ten-year-old moves into a house where their grandmother's antique music box sits gathering dust.

The seven-note melody is eerie enough, but when the box begins playing on its own with the key wound down, things take a darker turn.

Incomplete phrases, random sequences, and then one October night, the music box appears at the foot of the bed, playing single notes that grow closer and closer. By morning, it's back on the mantel - with...

Turn off the lights for tonight's chilling tale of holiday horror.

A college student accepts an invitation to spend the holiday with a friend's family. But the dining room holds something wrong: Nana Jo sits motionless at the head of the table hours before dinner, staring at an empty seat with food that looks days old on her plate. They soon realise this family's Thanksgiving has a permanent, unexpected guest.

A haunting story about the anchors that hold the dead in place and the families who silently accept their presence year after year.

...

Turn off the lights for tonight's unsettling tale of roadside horror.

In Last Vacancy, a desperate traveler caught in a blizzard takes the last available room at the Sunset Motel. But Room 7 is not all it seems, and most terrifying of all - a voice from Room 8 that sounds exactly like the traveler's mother, humming childhood lullabies and speaking to someone who isn't there.

A chilling story about motels that exist outside of time, the smell of failed purification rituals, and the horror of hearing a familiar voice in an impossible place.

Perfect...

An exhausted new mother hears strange sounds through her baby monitor - first an off-key lullaby, then whispers that know her name. But when the voice reveals a childhood secret that no one else knows, the horror gets dangerously real.

A chilling story about the technology we trust, the guilt we bury, and the voices that know us better than we know ourselves.

Perfect for grown-ups who understand that some secrets never stay buried.

The thing about cults is they don't look like cults at first. They look like hope, community, and belonging. I didn't realize I was being recruited... until it was almost too late to escape.

This is my true story of cult recruitment—a terrifying real-life experience that started as a gap year adventure and nearly ended with my complete disappearance. What began as working on an organic farm with happy, enlightened people gradually revealed itself as something far more sinister.

Cult manipulation isn't just what you see in documentaries. It's the slow erosion of your au...

The thing about unexplained phenomena is they start small, like a radio tuned slightly off frequency. I didn't realize how much my life was changing... until I lost six hours in a single night.

This is my true story of mysterious encounters—a terrifying real-life experience that began in childhood and escalated into something I still can't fully explain. What started as strange dreams and metallic tastes gradually became lost time, unexplained marks, and encounters with beings that shouldn't exist.

Alien abduction isn't just what you see in documentaries. It's the constant fear of losing ti...

Some dive bars hold more than just memories—they hold spirits that never left. This is the true story of Harper's, a downtown bar where the paranormal was part of the regular shift.

Working four years as a closing bartender at Harper's taught me that some places are permanently haunted. It started with ice-cold glasses appearing on freshly wiped bars and escalated into a supernatural nightmare that drove away customers and staff alike. The ancient jukebox played songs that were never recorded—personal lullabies from deceased mothers and unreleased tracks that songwriters never shared. The shadows moved with...

Sometimes the most terrifying predators aren't monsters—they're people who want to become you. This is my true story about Melissa, the new girl who joined our friend group and slowly began stealing our identities, one memory at a time.

It started innocently enough when Sarah invited her to trivia night. Melissa seemed perfectly normal—funny, smart, maybe a little too eager to fit in. But then came the little things that made my skin crawl. She remembered tiny details from conversations weeks ago, took notes on her phone during hangouts, and gave eerily personal gifts that felt...

Some childhood homes hold more than just memories—they hold secrets that follow you long after you've moved away. This is my true story of growing up in a house where the paranormal was just part of daily life.

From the age of five, I knew something was wrong with our ordinary suburban home. It started with whispers in the night—soft voices calling my name when everyone was asleep. Then came the footsteps pacing the hallway, the shadows that moved with a weight of their own, and doors that opened by themselves no matter how tightly I se...

I don't want any details of this story changed or names tweaked. It's my truth and it's the moment that changed my life.

One second I was reaching for a handhold on the rock face, and the next I was falling twenty-five feet toward jagged granite rocks below. Time slowed down in that strange way it does during catastrophe, and I had enough presence of mind to think, "This is it. This is how I die."

This is my true story of a rock climbing accident that nearly killed me—and how it transformed my en...

You want to know why I quit working at the city morgue? This story will mess with your head for weeks.

I thought working the night shift at the morgue would be easy money. Dead people don't complain, right? Wrong. So fucking wrong.

What started as strange little things—tools moved overnight, body bags mysteriously unzipped—quickly escalated into a nightmare that made me question everything I thought I knew about death. The humming that came from upstairs at exactly 2 AM every night. The wet, sliding sounds from locked storage rooms. The handprint on the wall...

The nightmares started three days ago. Now something is hunting in the storm-lashed streets, and it knows exactly where to find me.

In this spine-chilling episode of Beth's Spooky Story Time, we follow a tormented soul driven from their flat by terrifying dreams and glimpses of shadowy figures.

What happens when your toddler starts describing people who aren't there? This spine-chilling true story follows my son Tommy, who began seeing terrifying supernatural figures in our home from age three—including a man with no eyes and a crying lady dressed in black.

At first, we dismissed it as typical childhood imagination. But Tommy's eerily detailed descriptions and chilling comments made us question everything. Were these just imaginary friends, or was our three-year-old actually seeing ghosts?

We started journaling every paranormal encounter Tommy described, torn between fascination and absolute terror. As he grew older, th...

The thing about stalking is it creeps up on you slowly, like a shadow growing longer each day. I didn't realize what was happening to me... until it was almost too late.

This is my true stalker horror story—a terrifying real-life experience that turned my safe haven into a prison of fear. What started as strange coincidences and odd feelings gradually escalated into a nightmare that consumed my daily life.

Stalking isn't just what you see in movies. It's the constant looking over your shoulder, the sleepless nights, the way every sound makes your he...

Sometimes places are off-limits for a reason. The old Miller house on the edge of town was one of those places—abandoned, decaying, and wrapped in decades of dark rumors.

We'd all heard the stories growing up. Whispers about what happened in that house, about the family who disappeared, about the strange shadows that moved through the gables long after sunset. But curiosity has a way of overcoming fear, especially when you're young and foolish.

This is the true story of what we discovered when we finally broke into the Miller house. What we found in...

What's your worst fear? A house fire? Being burnt alive? What would you do if you were faced with that nightmare—would you freeze, or would you do whatever it takes to survive?

This is my true story of surviving a house fire that nearly claimed my life. In this terrifying 7-minute episode, I share every heart-pounding moment from the first smell of smoke to my desperate escape through flames and chaos.

House fires happen faster than you think. One moment you're safe in your home, the next you're trapped in a burning nightmare where ev...

Moving into your first apartment is supposed to be exciting—a milestone of independence, freedom, and new beginnings. But what happens when you discover you're not living alone?

This is my cousin Sadie's haunting true story about her first apartment and the terrifying supernatural roommate she never signed up for. What started as minor annoyances—doors opening on their own, strange sounds in the night—quickly escalated into a full-blown paranormal nightmare.

Sadie thought she was just adjusting to apartment living. The creaking floors, the cold spots, the feeling of being watched—surely these were normal f...
