1. The scariest things that go bump in the night

We all know that feeling. You’re lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, when you suddenly hear a noise coming from the other room. It could be a creak of the floorboards, a slamming door, or even a voice. Your heart starts to race and you start to question what exactly you just heard. Was it your imagination? Or is there something more sinister lurking in the darkness?

There are many stories of people who have experienced ghostly encounters in the middle of the night. One of the most famous is the story of The Pentagon Ghost. The Pentagon Ghost is the name given to a supposed ghost that was seen in the Pentagon in the early hours of the morning. The story goes that a security guard was doing his rounds when he saw a figure in a black cape standing in one of the hallways. The guard approached the figure, but it suddenly vanished into thin air. The guard was so shocked by what he had seen that he resigned from his job the next day. Another story comes from a woman who was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of her baby crying. When she went to check on her child, she found that the crib was empty. The woman searched the house but could not find her baby anywhere.

The next day, she was talking to her neighbor about the incident when she learned that her neighbor’s baby had died the night before. These are just two of the many stories of ghostly encounters that have been reported over the years. So, what exactly are ghosts? Are they the spirits of the dead that are stuck between this world and the next? Or are they something else entirely? We may never know for sure, but one thing is for sure, they sure are creepy!

2. Estates that are far from home

Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the stuff that people leave behind when they die? Most of us have a few things that we would like to leave to our loved ones when we pass away. But what about all of the other stuff? The clothes, the furniture, the knick-knacks, and the photos? For some people, the answer is to donate it to charity. But for others, the answer is to leave it to an estate sale.

An estate sale is when the belongings of a deceased person are sold off to the highest bidder. The sale is usually held at the person’s house and is open to the public. That sounds like a pretty normal thing, right? Well, it is, but some estate sales are far from normal.

In some cases, the estate sale is held in a house that is said to be haunted. One of the most famous haunted houses in America is the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana. The Myrtles Plantation is said to be the home of 10 ghosts, including that of a former slave named Chloe. Chloe was said to have been killed by her owner after she was caught eavesdropping on a conversation. It is said that her spirit still roams the plantation and that she can be seen in the mirrors that hang in the house. If you’re looking for a truly creepy estate sale, then the Myrtles Plantation is the place for you!

3.”The WHITE LADY”

If you’ve ever been to a cemetery, then you’ve probably seen the statues of angels that are often placed there. These statues are meant to represent the souls of the departed and their journey to the afterlife. But what if I told you that some angels are not so heavenly?

There is a statue in the town of Pontefract in England that is said to be cursed. The statue is of a woman in a white dress and is known as the White Lady. The legend goes that the statue was once part of a church that was destroyed during the English Civil War. The statue was then brought to the cemetery and placed on the grave of a woman named Maria. Maria was said to have been a nun who was murdered by her lover. It is said that her soul is trapped in the statue and that she is cursed to walk the earth forever.

4. The black-eyed children

Have you ever seen a child with black eyes? It’s a pretty eerie sight, isn’t it? Well, there is a legend of black-eyed children that will send a chill down your spine.

The legend goes that these children are the souls of the dead that were never able to pass on to the afterlife. They are said to roam the earth, looking for a way to cross over. But instead of asking for help, they are said to attack and kill those who cross their path.

There have been many reports of people being attacked by black-eyed children, but the most famous is the story of Brian Bethel. Bethel is a journalist who was working on a story about a cemetery in Texas when he was attacked by two black-eyed children. Bethel says that he was knocked to the ground and that the children tried to suffocate him with a plastic bag. He was only saved when a car drove by and scared the children away.

5. When art imitates death

We all know that art imitates life. But what happens when art imitates death? There is a painting that is said to be cursed. The painting is called “The Hands Resist Him” and was painted by Bill Stoneham in 1972. The painting depicts a boy standing in a doorway with a girl standing behind him. The children in the painting have their hands outstretched as if they are trying to resist something. The legend says that the children in the painting are ghosts, which is what makes it so creepy.
