21 Creepy Experiences People Haven’t Recovered From

‘There was a person in one of the photos that wasn’t there when I was taking them’

With the exception of certain media outlets, we’re a civilization of hard science. This has helped in some ways, like the medical fields and the advancement of technology, but it’s also surgically removed a lot of the wonder from the world. You need to see something inexplicable every once in a while, or else the overwhelming reasoning of everything starts to grate away at your brain like it’s a pink hunk of Parmesan cheese.

That’s why everyone loves a good ghost story, and hates the guy who can’t help but say something like, “It’s probably just a manifestation of trauma.” We just wanted to talk about rattling glasses and a butterfly I thought was my grandma, but sure, let’s lance everyone’s emotional boils at this bar hang.

Give your scientific brain a break, suspend your disbelief and spend a little time stretching the muscles of your imagination. I have the perfect way to do so, too: spooky real-life stories of internet denizens who saw something that rattled their spine. Shadowy creatures, disembodied voices, just somebody acting really strange, read on and immerse yourself in the unfamiliar. And do not ever say the words “swamp gas” to me.
