14 Creepy Stories That Could Send Shivers Down Dracula’s Spine

Everything went cold, even though it was 30 degrees.

It was one of the weirdest experiences ever. 

  • Our apartment has high ceilings, so we got an eight-foot, bright neon yellow pole to change lightbulbs. Last week, the pole disappeared.
    Seriously, we cannot find an eight-foot, bright yellow pole in our tiny apartment.

    We are deeply disturbed by this. 

  • I stayed in a hotel alone during a business trip. I hung a towel on my right hand as I proceeded to wash my face at the sink.

    When I finished, my left hand reached out to grab the towel, only to touch the skin.

    I wheeled around and saw that the towel was hung behind the door instead. 

  • A couple of years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to go downstairs to get a drink. I found my eight-year-old brother staring down the sink drain, and when I asked him what he was doing, he just said, “They’re coming.” He was sleepwalking, so I took him back up to bed.
  • I was visiting my grandfather’s grave for the first time, and as I approached it, a golden retriever appeared out of nowhere. He sat with me as I sat next to the grave, his head resting on my knee.

    As I was leaving, I turned around, and the dog had disappeared.
    Rationally speaking, I know that it was just a dog, not connected to my grandfather at all, but part of me still likes to think that he came to say goodbye to me that day. 

  • I had what I thought was a lucid dream where I basically watched some figure in my dark room look through my bookshelf, pat me on the head, and leave.

    I woke up to the news from my flatmates that someone had entered our house through the unlocked back door during the night… That’s the day I decided to invest in a lock for my bedroom. 

  • My phone is a Droid, and to unlock it from sleep mode, you must push the power button and slide the lock across the screen.

    I put my phone in sleep mode, placed it on my bed, and went to brush my teeth. While brushing, I decided to determine my top five drummers of all time for some reason.

    I was trying to decide which position to rank John Bonham.

    My thought process was, “Well, the drum part in ’Good Times Bad Times’ is awesome.”
    After brushing, I went back to my room, and my phone was blaring “Good Times Bad Times” on Pandora. I can’t explain it. 

  • Once, I was driving on a motorway at midday during the holiday season. I expected a lot of traffic, but it was deserted.

    A few kilometers ahead of me, I spotted heavy traffic.

    I looked in the mirror and saw that there was heavy traffic a few kilometers behind me as well. That was a strange feeling—I had about five kilometers of empty highway to myself.
    It felt like something was about to happen to me, and me only.

    Final Destination-like. 

  • Once, I went to phone my grandparents but couldn’t remember whether the last digit in the number was 7 or 8. I figured, what the heck, and guessed.

    Anyway, I picked the wrong one, and some guy who wasn’t my grandpa picked up.

    I apologized and said I had the wrong number.
    He said, “Is that (my name)?” A bit creeped out, I replied, “…Yes? Who is this?” He just laughed and said, “You don’t recognize my voice, do you?” I froze for about a minute before saying goodbye and hanging up.

    To this day, I have no idea who he was or how he knew me. 

  • Once, when I was home alone, I woke up in the middle of the night with a bloody nose.

    I walked over to the tissues and garbage and ended up filling the entire bin with bloody tissues before returning to bed. In the morning, I woke up to find the bin empty.

    I figured it must have just been a dream and that I hadn’t had a nosebleed. The catch?

    As I walked into the bathroom and began to wash my face…
    …my nose started bleeding. 

  • I was changing in my room when I was 16 and saw a flash in my window.

    Thought nothing of it until I realized it wasn’t raining. A week or so later, I woke up to the unmistakable sound of breathing at my window.
    When I called out, I could hear them running and jumping over my gate.

    Thought maybe I was just crazy until my mom confirmed she had also heard weird noises from the backyard.

    We moved a month later. To this day, I am not sure who it was. 

Unsettling and stomach-churning moments can also send shivers down your spine.
