The Classified Raid
It was Halloween night, and right before I was going to take my kids trick or treating, my phone rang. It was my boss calling me telling me that I needed to be at work as soon as possible, and to bring all of my gear. I went upstairs, put on my SWAT uniform, grabbed my riot shield, and grabbed my tactical assault rifle. Then I went outside to get in my car and head to work. Whenever I arrived at work, I had to get the rest of my gear on and load up into the armored truck. We were on our way to an abandoned mental asylum, because of a report of a suspicious figure seen through a window. It was 1:30 in the morning, when the truck I was in arrived at the mental asylum. We were waiting outside of the asylum for about an hour before all of the SWAT trucks arrived. Once everyone was situated, and took their position we waited until we saw movement in the asylum.

The Most Terrifying Paranormal Cases That Will Keep You Up Late at Night
In this day and age, there is no shortage of things that go bump in the night. Thanks to the internet and all the interesting information we have at our fingertips, it’s possible to learn about creepy things and strange phenomena almost any time you want. Some cultures have ghost stories passed down through generations, while others have people who claim they’ve had an encounter with something they can’t explain. The world is full of intriguing paranormal activity, but some stories are more terrifying than others. There are so many books and movies about paranormal activities that it can be hard to keep track of them all. There are frightening tales about sinister spirits lurking in hotels and spooky houses, vampires who stalk isolated individuals at night, and demons from another dimension preying on helpless humans. As such, we’ve put together a list of some of the most chilling accounts of real-life horror that will keep you up at night for months to come. 1. Orphaned in a Dark Hotel Hallway A famous case of paranormal activity is the story of the haunting that took place at the famous Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, which is known for its connection to celebrity deaths. The Cecil Hotel has been open since the 1930s and has been a place of business for a variety of different industries, including being a brothel in the 40s and a boarding house for the elderly in the 50s and 60s. The hotel was also famously featured in the movie “Gone with the Wind”, and was the site of an unsolved murder-suicide. The Cecil Hotel has been in the news multiple times over the last few years because of the paranormal activity that has been reported there. Guests and employees alike have reported seeing blood dripping from the ceiling above the elevator, as well as hearing a little girl crying in one of the hotel rooms. People have also claimed to have seen the apparition of a young Asian girl wearing a red dress, who is believed to be the ghost of a young girl who was left alone at the hotel when she was just a toddler. The girl’s parents were expected to check out of their room, but they never returned for their daughter. The girl has since been given the name “The Crying Child” by paranormal investigators. 2. Demonic Possession and Exorcism One of the most frightening paranormal cases took place in Connecticut in the 1980s. A man named Carl Hopkins and his wife had been trying to have a child, but were told that Carl was infertile. When Carl and his wife were in their 30s, they decided to adopt a baby, but when they were told they would be given a newborn, they decided they wanted to wait. The couple then decided they wanted to try once more to have a child, and they were able to conceive. Carl and his wife were overjoyed when they discovered they were expecting, but their excitement quickly turned to fear when they noticed some strange things happening. When Carl’s wife was 6 months pregnant, she started experiencing strange things happening to her body. She claimed that she felt bugs crawling under her skin, and she experienced severe headaches. She also started having terrible nightmares that involved the devil, and she claimed that she could hear him laughing in her head. Carl’s wife was brought to the hospital several times because she claimed that she was going to die, and the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Carl and his wife knew that something strange was happening, and they decided to visit an exorcist. 3. You Can Hear Them Screaming There have been many cases of paranormal activity between couples and families, but there have been cases where a single person has been haunted by a spirit. One story that has both elements is that of Annabelle, a supposedly haunted doll that ended up in the hands of a college student. The doll had been given to the student by a friend, but the student’s roommate decided that she didn’t want the doll in their apartment. The two girls had just met and weren’t very close, so the roommate didn’t give her a reason or tell her that the doll was haunted. The doll sat on the student’s shelf for a few weeks, and she didn’t think much of it. One night, she heard her roommate crying, and when she went to go comfort her, she found the roommate shaking and white as a sheet. The roommate told her that the doll had moved from its spot on the shelf and was now sitting in front of her, as if it was going to attack her. The next morning, the doll had returned to its original spot, but now it had a stare that the student described as “evil”. 4. The Woman in the Window The legend of the Woman in the Window is one of the most chilling and spine-chilling ghost stories ever told. The story, which is set in the 1800s in the outskirts of New York City, tells a tale of a woman who lives in a mansion with a black-and-white checkered floor. The woman is described as having long, black hair and wearing a red dress. She is often seen sitting in the attic window of the house, staring into the distance. The haunting story of the Woman in the Window is often passed down from person to person, but it has been traced back to a short story written by the famous author Eugene O’Neill. The story goes that a young man was on his way to visit his friend, who lived in an old mansion with a black-and-white checkered floor. As he walked through the countryside, he heard a woman screaming and saw a woman sitting in the attic window of the house. When he knocked on the door of his friend’s house, the host told him that the house had been abandoned for many years, but there was a woman who lived in the attic. The host went on to say that the woman was insane and had a strange obsession with a white man who had been dating her. 5. Ghosts of Children and Teenagers Of course, not all paranormal activity is attributed to adults, as many ghost stories involve children and teenagers. There have been many cases of children and teens who have died tragically being seen and heard by people who live in their homes, or even people who pass by their graves. One story that has been documented involves the ghost of a teenage girl who died when she was hit by a car on her way to school. It is said that the girl has been seen walking on the sidewalk where she was hit, wearing her school uniform. People have also claimed to hear screaming coming from the area at night, and some claim that the screaming is coming from the girl. Another troubling paranormal story is that of a child ghost who has been seen wandering around a house. A family moved into a home, and they found that they were being followed by a young boy who had been murdered in the house when he was just a child. The family discovered that the boy had been killed by his mother, who then committed suicide in the same house that the family now lived in. 6. The Lovers Who Couldn’t Escape Each Other’s Grip There are many haunting stories of lovers who couldn’t escape each other’s grip after death. A tragic tale of two lovers who could not escape one another’s side is that of the ghosts of Michael and Margaret. Michael and Margaret had lived in a house together, where they had raised a family. Michael had been a rich businessman, and Margaret had been a stay-at-home mother. When Michael passed away, he left money for the construction of a church, but he wanted to be buried next to his beloved wife. Michael and Margaret had a gravestone erected for them, and when the church was built, Michael was buried beneath the floor, in his favorite chair. When Margaret passed away, she was buried next to Michael, but something strange started happening. People visiting the church reported hearing a woman crying, and they claimed that they could see a woman sitting in Michael’s armchair. When the church was being renovated, workers found a woman’s hand clutching the arm of the chair, as if she were trying to pull herself up. The Conclusion: There are so many interesting and scary stories about paranormal activity. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, these stories are sure to keep you up at night. There are stories of demonic possessions and even of an evil doll that will make sure you don’t get any sleep! These stories will give you goosebumps and keep you up at night.

Carnival: Listen
“Run! Ruuuuun!” a distant voice called out. Amy ran as fast as she could into a forest. She tripped over a tree root and tumbled down into a small river. She coughed up some of the water. Looking uphill, she saw a figure run the path she was previously on. She got to her feet and carefully went alongside the river until she came upon a small town. She kept hearing a distant voice encouraging her to keep going. She eventually waved down a car. Luckily for her, it was a police car that took her to the hospital.

Carnival: Knock Knock
A female and male couple stumbled through the front door of a cabin. Kissing all over each other, they comment on how great of an idea it was to steal her dad’s keys. They justify it by saying her dad hasn’t done anything with the place for years and how he was trying to get other family members to take the property from him. As the male kissed along her neck, asking why wouldn’t anyone want to live there. She said she didn’t understand why. In between breaths, they complimented the cabin while comparing it to each other. The smooth surface of the floor, the crystal decorations being very clean, the animal fur rug being well maintained, the wood being strong. As they began to undress, there were two knocks at the door. Annoyed, the male went over to see who it was.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 16
Robert thought he'd hit the jackpot of awesome, cushy jobs. For the past year, he'd made a decent living as a professional house sitter. The work was stupid easy in most cases: just make the house look lived in while the owner was away. Occasionally there was a pet that needed looking after too, or a handful of house plants to keep watered, but overall it was more or less the same every time. All Robert had to do was sit around and watch TV for a few days... and he got paid for it. Most of the homeowners were extra cool and allowed him to help himself to their pantries, as a part of his pay. The long and the short of it was Robert absolutely loved his job and thought he was the luckiest guy in the entire world... that is, until his last job.
