Alfred Hitchcock made a career out of stories that rattled nerves and left audiences second-guessing every shadow. But sometimes, real life is even stranger than fiction. From figures in doorways that vanish like mist to babysitters who refuse to return after what they’ve seen, these true accounts prove that the most unsettling stories aren’t always scripted.
This happened when I was a kid. I used to sleep with my door closed, and I had no idea what time it was, but I heard my door creak open. When I opened my eyes, I could only make out the figure of a strange tall man with a hat and a coat. He just sat on my bed and stared at my door. This went on for a few minutes before he got up and left. I don’t have many memories of my childhood, but this one I can relive very well.
