The Voice That Called My Name: A True Story of Grief and Ghosts

In this true scary story, we hear from Andrea. She grew up as the only girl between two brothers in a small, aging home where strange things seemed to follow her from childhood into adulthood. It began with her name being called when no one was there. Later came footsteps on the porch, invisible hands tugging at her feet, and a ceiling fan that moved on its own.But the most powerful encounters didn’t happen until after tragedy struck her family in 2019. What followed were moments so vivid, so emotional, that she still wonders if it was a dream or an actual visitation. Was it grief? A subconscious coping mechanism? Or was someone she loved still trying to reach her?You can get these ad-free through ScaryPlus.com free for 14 days, then 4.99 per month.

Dead Silence in the Woods: A Terrifying Encounter

In this true scary story, we hear about what started as childhood summers in the remote Allegheny Mountains to solitary camping trips as a young adult.

The insects stopped making noise, and suddenly he heard a large creature chasing after him.Was it a predator? A legend?

On Those Nights, Something Was Watching: Red Eyes & Shadows

Some childhood memories never fade, no matter how hard you try to bury them.In this episode, we hear two chilling true stories told by people who were far too young to understand what they were seeing. The first begins with a single night, a terrifying sound, and glowing red eyes watching from outside a bedroom window, an experience two sisters would not speak about for years. The second unfolds across decades inside a quiet house on the east side of Toledo, Ohio, where a shadowy presence seems tied to one specific room… and one family.Whether these encounters were warnings, hauntings, or something far darker, both stories share one unsettling truth: some things don’t go away just because you grow up.Have a story?
