True Life Scary Stories: What Made You Believe in the Paranormal?

Yes, I do. There are so many strange things in the world that can't be easily explained by science. For example, some people claim to have seen ghosts or had out - of - body experiences. These paranormal stories may be based on real, but yet - to - be - understood phenomena.

I'm not entirely sure. Some of the stories seem so detailed and have been passed down through generations that it makes you wonder. But there's no scientific proof, so it's hard to really believe.

It's hard to say. Some of the stories seem really convincing. I mean, if so many soldiers report seeing strange lights or hearing voices, there might be something to it. Maybe there are energies or phenomena that we don't understand yet. But then again, it could also be a result of the collective psychological state during the war. For example, the fear and the sense of the unknown in a foreign land could lead to such interpretations.

I'm a bit skeptical. While paranormal activity ghost stories are really fascinating, most of them lack scientific evidence. Many so - called 'ghost sightings' can be explained by natural causes like drafts causing doors to close suddenly or old buildings settling and making noises. However, I can't completely rule out the possibility as there are still many things in the universe that we don't understand.

One true scary paranormal story is about a haunted house. A family moved in and every night they heard strange noises like footsteps in the empty hallway. They also saw a shadowy figure in the corner of their bedroom at times. Eventually, they couldn't take it anymore and moved out.

There was a story of a woman who visited an old, abandoned asylum. As she walked through the dimly lit corridors, she heard faint whispers. She felt a cold breeze, even though there were no open windows. Suddenly, she saw a figure in the distance that seemed to be floating. Terrified, she ran out and never went back. She later found out that many people had reported similar experiences in that place.

Sure. One story is about a haunted house. A family moved in and every night they heard strange footsteps on the stairs. When they investigated, there was no one there. Eventually, they found out that a previous owner had died on those stairs in a tragic accident. Another one is a woman who saw a ghostly figure in her bedroom mirror at midnight. It just stared at her and then vanished.

The scariest one I know is about a girl who woke up in the middle of the night to find a face floating above her bed. It was pale and had empty eyes. She was so terrified that she couldn't move for a while. Another is a family whose TV would turn on by itself at 3 am every night, and there would be static on the screen, but no normal channels were showing.

The story of the cursed painting is quite terrifying. People who owned this painting claimed that they could see the figure in the painting moving at night, and it seemed to have an evil look in its eyes. They started having nightmares and bad luck after getting the painting.

A family heirloom watch that would start ticking in the middle of the night when no one touched it. It had belonged to a relative who passed away under mysterious circumstances. The family thought it was the spirit of the relative trying to communicate. It was really creepy as it would stop as suddenly as it started.
