Why am I terrified of being in a building looking down but not as terrified of being on a mountain looking down? I'm terrified of heights and I've gone skydiving to over come it. It helped but I'm still scared of heights. I had a panic attack after going skydiving so I went again the following year. I'm trying to over come my fear of heights and I'm still scared asf to be in tall buildings.

This happened to a coworker of mine in the USAF back in the '80s. I have no reason to doubt him. I believe the outcome lends some weight to his statements. I think you will agree.

The stateside base we were at shared a duty rotation with two other bases. Each base rotated a squadron of aircraft and support personnel to a base in England. Taking turns 3 months at a time. Our shop would send two troops and they would work work 12 hour shifts for the "rotation". Our work required that most work we did on an aircraft had to be done in a hangar with VERY limited access. The base we rotated to was one of the old WW II bases and the hangars looked pretty close to original. The look, lighting, smell, and feel of the old building sets a good spooky stage.

So a little about the layout of the hangar. The hangars have a nose and then spread out to a huge warehouse type room. There is an area in front of the aircraft wings with stairs to a 2nd story mezzanine office. At ground level there is a door that leads to a restroom/locker room. Due to access control that is the only door to this room.

So my buddy is on mid-shift duty a week or two in. The guys on shift with him went out on a call and left him in the hangar alone. He takes the opportunity to grab a magazine and take a good poop. He picks a stall and...well you get the picture. He reads and nature takes its course.

Suddenly the door opens and somebody walks in whistling a tune. He could hear the crisp steps of boots even though he couldn't see them. My buddy does what he is supposed to do, he ask who they are and why are they in this hangar. He doesn't get an answer, he got scared shitless.

The lights went out. There were no more footfalls or any more whistling. In a room without a window it gets dark. After a few unanswered calls my buddy "finishes the paperwork" and finds his way to the light switch as he spied the light shining under the door. Then it dawned on him that the door hadn't opened after the lights went out, he would have seen that. With no other exit the Whistler should still be in the room? But my buddy was alone and now freaked.

How freaked? He left the hangar and refused to go back. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice that is called "Failed to Go" and can get you fined, loss of rank, and/or jail. Unless you are smart enough to get the Chaplin on your side. A Chaplin carries clout. A few talks with the man of the cloth, a few with a Doc or two, and they put him on a military bird coming home. We scrambled up a replacement in a hurry.

He told his story to a few of us once he was in the shop again. His story had been thru the rumor mill already and gotten outlandish. But the truth of it is chilling enough if you think about it.

He told me it was the whistling that haunts him. It was so pretty a sound. "You just don't hear people whistle like that anymore." From then until I shipped out he stayed on day shift and he never pulled a rotation. I am pretty sure the Chaplin wrote some rules. He was a good troop, do anything you asked kind of guy. So long as it didn't include a certain hangar.

I got doxed on discord he said my full name he said what device I was on and he said he had my ip and he said he was going to report my name to the FBI saying I was going to bomb the White House

man there was a creepy centipede looking bug on the AC i took my eyes of it for a minute and its gone..........TT_TT

Well I am 17 years old I’ve had so much body shaming/ hate in my life since I was 12 years old o remember me developing a sorta binge eating disorder at 11 and 12 so when I gained weight I felt really bad and decided to lose it and so I’ve gone through so much and like I remember not so long ago yesterday I was in the store minding my business when this child called me nasty out of nowhere and it’s really hurtful since I struggle with self image since a young age.

3 NIGHTMARISH NIGHT SHIFT STORIES

So, this is my second story in this reddit. This one is about an old job site I worked at about a year and a half ago.

I used to work security in a corporate office during day shift. There was nothing that really happened during the day outside of regular business. My regular shift was daylight, 7AM-3PM Monday to Friday. However we were regularly short staffed so we would change who worked weekends every two weeks until we found someone to cover it. It's important to mention that I didn't work nights until this job. The night shifts were always eerily quiet compared to the day shift and only on rare occasions was anyone else there during the night shift. If there was someone, it was a cleaner. Cleaners would usually rush to get out early and they would be paid for the full shift if everything was done. Sometimes throughout the night, the cleaners and I would have a talk and just shoot the breeze for a while. This night we were doing just that. This cleaner explained to me that they were uncomfortable on the third floor, which I assumed was a fear of heights thing. Then the cleaner told me they thought someone was up there. At that site I was doing regular sight inspections (rounds) every hour and had to scan tags. The third floor had tags I would normally scan. I'd also already done a few rounds already and didn't notice anyone so I was obviously confused. The cleaner asked if I would go with them up to the third floor just to feel a little safer and I figured... Why not? I mean, I still needed to scan those tags anyway. Two birds, one stone. Anyways, we get up to the third floor and it's dark as can be with only 4 lights on. One at each flight of stairs. The cleaner asked me to check restrooms, so I did and then they began cleaning the restrooms. It was at this time I begin scanning the tags, which was only 4 of them on that floor. Bing, bing, bing, bing and I was back at the restrooms in less than 2 minutes. When I got back I spoke to the cleaner about why they believed there was someone up there. I mean, I just walked the whole floor in 2 minutes and not a soul was there. They then explain to me that all of the cleaners hate being on the third floor at night. They all say there's a shadow man on that floor that's always walking around in the corner of your eye and you never fully see him but you know for sure he's there. The cleaner said they didn't believe in ghosts, but did think someone was sleeping in the building. They were uncomfortable being alone in an area where someone may be living. The cleaner finished up with everything and we took the elevator down. The cleaner thanked me for walking them through and being around which was my job, so it wasn't a big favor. After that my curiosity peaked. I was always spending a little more time on the third floor. And after a few weeks is when the fun began. About a few weeks, maybe a month passed of me taking extra slow rounds on the third floor I noticed the company had replaced the water fountain with a hands free water fountain. The fountain had a bottle filling spout which I thought was cool. I started using it to fill my rambler bottle while I walked at night. As I walked passed it, the fountain turned on. My first thought was that it was a bad sensor. Problem was, it wasn't turning off. Whatever. Mark it and report it to maintenance. I continued down the hall to where the tag to scan was and I thought I saw something odd in the cubicle area down the hall. As I walked down the hall to check it out I heard something moving in the area. My first thought being.. Oh, cool the cleaners are here. I turned a corner to the right and saw a pitch black cubicle area. No way they're in there. I flipped the light and looked around. Yup, no one. I turned back around and walked back to the elevator. That's when I saw a dark figure walk down the hallway adjacent to the one I was in and way at the end of it. It wasn't fast. It wasn't out of the corner of my eye. It was a full silhouette of a person just normally walking down the hallway. It walked from the right side to the left side, straight to the direction of the elevator. The silhouette was tall, at least 6ft. (I am 5'7" so that's tall to me.) It was like a normal persons build and was very normal in every regard. The only ways out in the hallway it walked to was either the stairs or the elevator. To get to them you must open a magnetic door with a key card. This makes an audible beeping noise loud enough to be heard during regular work hours. At night with no one there the ring echoes. I did not hear the beep. I rushed down to see who it was, but when I got there I didn't see anyone. This was the only time I saw it. Other times there were loud banging noises, the occasional toilet flushing randomly. Lights flickering. All could be faulty stuff. But the silhouette, that I could never explain.

Article On Why It's Good To Scare Yourself

This happened to me when I was 11 and I was staying at a friends house who I will call Kit. Kit was one of those “cool kids” in school who was always up to trouble. looking back I don’t understand how I managed to remain friends with him for so long as I was anything but cool and never did anything he did.

One night I was staying over at his place on a Friday after school and we started playing touch footy in the backyard 1 on 1. After playing for about 20 minutes he asks if I heard of a game called mop. Which I did not. He explained to me the way the game works is you hide by the road and when someone walks or drives past shout the word Mop hoping to get some kind of reaction. I suppose the game can be known by any other name but in my case, he called it mop. I agreed so we went down to his front yard and looked up and down the road to see if anyone was heading our way. I should note that Kit's house isn’t actually on a main road so the only reason you would drive down past on the left is if you had a house further down or had to turn down an intersection street for more houses and about 20 house past kit’s is bush so I wasn’t expecting excepting many people to pas by. I hid behind the garbage bins which stand by the driveway fence and kit was hiding on the opposite side in the garden. At this point it was about 4pm so it was still light out which to me made the game sound less fun.

About 2 minutes in a car drives by and kit shouts out mop. Nothing happened which was no surprise to. I knew someone driving by wouldn’t be able to hear us.

Not long after a man and women were walking their dog and as they were about to walk out of my site Kit shouts out mop. The man and the woman stopped and looked around confused for about 5 seconds then they started walking again. That was the exact reaction I was expecting.

After about 10 more disappointing reactions I was starting to get bored but kit was just having too much fun. Eventually, I noticed a homeless looking man making his way over. Kit couldn’t have seen him yet so I gave him the signal that someone was near and he waited.

As man the was getting closer I could see that he was talking to himself like he was arguing with someone. As he got closer I could see that he was at least in his 40s. I could see how dirty he looked, he had long greasy black hair and his face was covered in dirt. I was starting to get nervous.

When the man was going past my site I heard kit shout out something I was not expecting. He shouts “Dick Head!!” The man looked right towards the house in an instant looking absolutely furious. I was freaking out as the man could have easy spotted me hiding behind the bins

The man started passing back and forth with he’s eyes fixed on the house looking muttering to himself.

Eventually he started waking back the way he was heading and once he was out of my view I got out from behind the bins and made my way over to Kit. I was about to open my mouth to tell him how stupid that was when he said “let’s follow him”

I told him that was terrible idea but as a stupid 11 year old kid I agreed.

We kept doing at a distance and followed the man off the road and at the entrance to the bush. We hid behind a car and watched the man as he went into the bush. I wish I could say we headed back right then but kit wanted to see where he was going. So we followed Kit went in first and I followed close behind. I was walking as quietly as possible but the leaves were all dry so they crunched really loudly as I walked over them. About 5 minutes into me following Kit he stoped dead in his tracks and I heard him mutter to himself “oh fuck”.

I walked next to him and just ahead behind some rocks there was the man crouched looking right at us.

I didn’t have time to react as the man stood up and sprinted towards us shouting like a mad man.

Kit and I turned and ran screaming.

I could just sense the mans presences closing in on me and I was fearing that any second he would grab me and that would be then of me.

Lucky for me the man tripped and fell. I remember just feeling the air move under the man’s body just inches behind me. I was easily in arms reach of him.

Hearing the man the man fall I slowed down and looked back and saw him lying fat on his stomach and he let out an angry growl, I turned and continued running.

I couldn’t see kit at the point but I could hear the crunching of leaves and branches so I knew he was close.

Eventually I got out of the bush and started running on the road back to the house.

When I got there Kit was already there out of breath sweating. I started to cry due to fear that I could have been murdered. I never spoke of this story to anyone and Kit apparently hasn’t either.

I haven’t been to kit’s house since.

My deepest apologies to that man who my friend and I mistreated.

Hi I'm a 17 year old girl . Has any of you girls experienced your step dad or dad who has invaded your privacy and has seen your naked crotch? I know it sounds digusting. I feel he has seen mine because I don't I wasn't awake. Please tell me and include your age . I don't know what he did I was asleep.

I like to read late at night and I have a younger brother that lives with me. He scratched on my door while I was reading and it scared me half to death

i just read a bunch of stories of how people almost got kidnapped and now i’m scared shitless and never wanna leave my house. i’m really scared please help

My husband work shifts;.One morning (around 5.00am) he had just left our bungalow to walk to the bus stop to catch the first of two buses to.work. Being Summer, it was very bright for the time of morning and he told me he was just collecting his thoughts, thinking about the tasks he had to.do that day, and the list of groceries that I asked him to get when from above and a little way off, he heard a rustling of leaves from a tree behind a wall of a garden; thinking it was a squirrel he looked up and he told me he thought he was seeing things. What he said he saw was a small black bodied sleek figure walking or (running) on four skinny legs resembling a monkey with a long "ratlike" tail, it looked like the head was round with pointed ears either side of it. My husband couldn't see the creatures facial features as it moved with extreme speed; when it hit the ground it scurried away from him, but he said he swore he saw what he thought was a wing (in the brief time he saw the creature airborne) which appeared to be "pinned back" to the side of creatures body on the nearest side to him. My husband is practical, no nonsense man who is somewhat sceptical about the Supernatural and Paranormal (although doesn't disbelieve altogether), he was slightly reluctant to tell me in case I would think he was "Having me on". We discussed the incident that night when he got home. He had already text me about it and I was intrigued. I did ask my husband if it could have been a large bat! On talking about it and thinking it through properly we concluded it couldn't have been a bat, as this creature that my husband saw had four legs and a rat's tail. We walk that route all the time; to get out of the estate and to the shops, before, and since the incident and we've never seen a creature like that. We are both natives to London and we are unaware of such a creature even existing so we are still trying to work out what this creature could have been.

I have cerebral palsy, but I have always worked while at and after leaving college, sometimes having two or three jobs at a time. When this incident happened I was 22, renting my bungalow and living alone I was going to work,; my main job at the time was as a dance, fitness and play therapy assistant to a group of therapists working for young people with physical, learning disabilities and extreme behaviour disorders,. As I'm a full time wheelchair user I had to use a cab to travel to and from work, and although most of the guys driving for the cab firm were solid and really nice there were a few dodgy ones as in most walks of life. I could transfer quite easily so all the drivers had to do was hold my wheelchair steady then fold it up, then put it in the boot, on this day the guy turned up at 8.30am (late) and I proceeded to transfer, I felt him right up close behind me, his hand brushed lightly over my back and bottom (it's worth mentioning that I had slight issues with this man before, mostly making smutty remarks and asking me out for a drink I said no, he got slightly nasty and I ended up having to report it to the firm.) As I'm disabled there wasn't much I could do as I was holding myself up and I couldn't let go of the door, I swore at him managing to swing round to sit in the car and told him never do that, he just laughed and smirked. We started to drive,; ten minutes in I noticed we weren't going the regular route to get to the centre where I worked, being angry with him anyway also the fact that I was already late for work, I asked him about this, he ignored my questions and said in a cold voice 'You know I live round here? I could take you to my flat where my three mates are and there wouldn't be anything you could do about it!.' When he said this I was cr---ping myself inside but I said in my bravest voice 'If I'm much more later, work will call me and they have your firms details too!' With that he scowled at me big time and after a while I soon recognised the usual route to work. When I arrived at work,my boss was worried he saw the driver (who he didn't have time for either,) asked me if I was OK, after a while I was able to tell my supervisor what had happened and she first called the cab firm and then the police who came to interview me at work and then talked to the man, I don't know what happened to him but I never saw him again.

I started talking to this girl on pof and she sent me her number, she sent me an unsolicited nude and now her “father” is texting me and telling my that he’s getting lawyers involved

So the guy in question ended up being a real good friend and I found out he used to be in an actual motorcycle gang. One of the scary ones. A few months ago we met up and he lent me a bracelet that belonged to a dead friend of his and then we kinda fell out. He's now back in the club and wants his bracelet back but the car it was in got towed to the dump in March. I'm terrified what his reaction is going to be. I'm worried for my safety and my family.

Hey guys so this happened 40 mins ago I’m still high key creeped out about it. So I got FaceTime calls from an unknown icloud user the first few times I ignored it but I accidentally accepted it and a family appeared looking up at the screen as if I was on a tv? Like they have appletv or roku they seem foreign and it was daylight and it’s currently dark where I am from. They were sitting on the floor and there was a Lady holding a baby and a man next to her they were smiling and were so happy when I picked up they all said “Oooooouuuuuuh” and I hung up real quick I wish I could’ve gotten a screenshot but now I’m scared they might be watching me through my phone camera? And how did they even get my email/number. I tried calling them back but they wouldn’t answer and I even sent them a message but got delivered so I decided to just block them.

Last year I was home alone and it was about 1am when I got 2 voicemails from a random number from what seemed like an angry drunken man. The voicemail this random man sent me was about me supposedly talking to his girlfriend (I assume romantically). He sounded pretty drunk and progressively angry. He said he was “coming for me” and that I better hide.

I was pretty scared but there are several reasons which you should note as to why it was probably fake:

1. I was 15, this man sounded late 20’s probably 30’s so idk why he thinks a teenager was trying to flirt with his girlfriend.

2. the man had an accent that wasn’t native to the area I lived in so I assumed he lived in a different place.

Being home alone I was pretty scared. I had a knife i kept by my side for self protection in my bedroom due to having to open a package in my room the morning before. I also live in the attic of my house so it’s obvious to hear any footsteps. Obviously I’m here now so nothing did happen to me, but I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced these sort of voicemails and if they match what I’ve described because some people say it might have been a prank but many people have also said they have been sent voicemails like this too. Thanks.

Hopefully this is the right sub reddit (this is my first post so excuse me if it’s not fully relevant to the subreddit)

I always been scare of the dark but ever since we been on quarantine my fear of the dark has increase I'm probably the only but yea

Bye.

So I am actually writing this at work. I work security and recently in September I changed companies and sites. I started working at this new site that is a factory. Some backstory about this building is that it is well over 100 years old, it is infested with rats because the building next door is a company that rents out dumpsters, swaps them out monthly and cleans them. Rats, mice, roaches and other pests find themselves in here regularly. Conveniently though the owner of the factory has begun to feed and care for the local homeless cats. He got them spayed and neutered, built them a cat house that's much like a plywood dog house and feeds them daily and gives them water. Important to note that there are only two cats. Then on top of that the owner brings his dog to work. His dog is a sweetheart. Now into the story.

Lately I arrive for work at 15:00 and my shift begins at 15:30. At 15:30 I begin locking doors as everyone leaves and by 7PM I am alone with all doors locked and the alarms systems are active. My job from then on is to regularly inspect the building and for months everything was well (During my regular shift which was 23:00 to 07:00) but lately since I have been doing doubles odd things have been occuring.

Over the last few days I noticed that the cats were spending a lot more time outside in the cold weather during the night time. The weather has reached as low as 7° at times. Right now it is very cold but they don't come in. If they do they only stay in a room that is near the exit. I have only seen one single rat as well.

Then I started hearing radios playing music in areas where I had previously walked and it was not playing music before. I chalked this up to maybe the radios had an alarm and it's alarm was to play the radio. Albeit at bizarre times like 01:48. I would turn the volume down but keep the radio on and usually I wouldn't hear it again.

Lights in this building also have odd happenings lately. One ended up being replaced in it's entirety and was rewired but still acts oddly. What I keep thinking is that this building is over 100 years old so there is bound to be some odd happenings with the electrical wiring.

Tonight something odd happened that I am unsure how to explain. At around 03:00 when I was drinking a coca cola to stay awake I heard the delivery bell. I had set down my drink at my post which is just a chair and a table by the alarm system. I shut off the door alarms and brought in the guy who does the deliveries and stood with him which is required by my post orders and was simple because we stand on direct sight of the only door that could be entered from. After he left I activated the door alarms and returned to my post around 03:45. The only issue was my coca cola was gone. Like legit disappeared. I searched for a while and found no trace of it. I ended up just giving up on it.

About 10 minutes later I heard the sound of someone clocking in and I immediately stood up to greet the person who I believed it was. The strange thing is no one was there. Now it was without mistake the clock in bell that I heard. It is literally a bell. A physical bell. Like the round ones that have a hammer in it. When someone clocks in it makes a loud BING DING noise. You can hear the bell at the other side of the building. Now the only things that should have been in the building other than me are rats and cats as the dog leaves with his owner. The alarms were on so why didn't the alarms go off when someone came in? I checked around and at about 4:30 I shut off the alarms and soon an employee entered and asked me if he was the only one here. i asked him if he saw any other cars and told him the story and he laughed and called it the apparition.

I never found the missing drink or who first clocked in. I'm more angry than scared. I want my coca cola.

It is currently 4:57pm. I just received a call from an unknown number. I just let it ring and go to voicemail. I listened to the voicemail and it was someone SCREAMING something short before screaming my phone number. It kinda sounded like a woman screaming something close to “who is ###-###-####” I just don’t know what to do with it.
