The Arrival of the Welder Gheist
Today started out pretty weird and only got weirder. We'd been out of the woods for about a week, my legs finally feeling less wobbly, and I was set to putting everything back to rights. Having been gone about three days, the dust had taken over again, and the house needed to be aired out. Grandpa had helped with the cleaning as much as he could, and now the house is back to its usual presentable state.

10 Best Horror Movies
The best horror movies of all time aren't always the ones that make you leap out of your skin when you watch them. In fact, some of the very best scary movies are the ones that gently creep under your skin instead, making you think you're fine, only to discover that you can't even imagine turning off the bedside light for fear of what might arrive in the dark. And in excellent news for your frayed nerves, the sheer selection of frights available means that at least one of the best horror movies will find something that truly terrifies you. Whether that's a twisted version of the natural world as animals turn rogue, traditional haunted houses doing their worst, or a classic slasher villain (or two) arriving for one more scare.

I'm not sure which was weirder. The fact that dad had a hole in his head or the fact that he was so unimpressed with it.

3 Creepiest Horror Stories, You Ever Heard
Story - 1: It was a moonless night. Enough light was there to show the way but not enough to guide the way. I and my friends were out for a night walk and we had no idea that our ways would cross with something so horrifying. We were laughing, talking and making fun of each other when we heard a noise. It sounded like someone was crying. We thought it was one of us who was crying so we stopped and asked but no one answered. Then we thought that it must be an animal so we started to move again but the noise followed us. We became scared and we ran but it felt like the thing was running after us. We reached a small hill from where we could see our whole village. There were houses and streets and people but no sign of the thing that was following us. We were about to go back when we saw it. It was a figure, all black, no face and it was running towards us. We screamed and ran in different directions. I don't know what happened to my friends but I ran towards my house. I don't know how but I reached my house and I went inside and locked the door. I was shaking with fear and I couldn't stop crying. I don't know how long I sat there but I must have dozed off because the next thing I remember is my mother coming into the room and asking me what was wrong. I told her everything that had happened and she said that it was just a nightmare. I didn't believe her then but I do now. It was just a nightmare but it felt so real that I can still remember it clearly. I don't know what that thing was but I know that it wasn't anything human.

Real-Life Horror Stories
Deadman came back to life Story of a psychiatric nurse I'm a psychiatric nurse and early in my career, I worked at a residential mental health facility. One of our residents was an elective mute, which means that he didn't/wouldn't/couldn't talk, but there were no medical reasons as to why. He had spoken earlier in his life and in fact seemed quite normal back then, with the exception of being close to seven feet tall. He'd been raised in the Deep South and joined the military when he was 19, but one night he vanished. He was declared AWOL, and eventually he was declared missing and dead.

Rosewood Horror Incident
The story is of my late grandmother who passed away several years ago. At the time as a young me just like many other children, I was also very keen on stories, especially horror and supernatural stories and I guess I should better say less about stories and more about real history and incidents of the past.
