EP26 - 6 TRUE Horror Stories | Ouija Boards, Haunted Roads & Alien Encounters

from The Scarecast: Scary Stories, Mysteries, and True Crime · host Michael Crutchfield

Six creepy stories from people who experienced something they still can’t explain: a skeptic’s Ouija board prank followed by a terrifying encounter during sleep paralysis, unseen dogs running through a haunted house in Suffolk, missing time beneath Pasadena’s Colorado Street Bridge, a strange black-robed figure spotted along Pacheco Pass, pyramid-shaped lights and a towering gray alien, and a mysterious stranger who knew far too much about a couple he had never met.After listening, comment which story creeped you out the most—comment on the Spotify episode or leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.StoriesStory 1 – A skeptic uses a Ouija board as a party prop, secretly moving the planchette with magnets to create a murder-mystery clue. That same night, they wake up unable to move, hear footsteps pacing beside the bed, and feel something blow directly into their ear.Story 2 – In an old Georgian house in Suffolk, a woman hears what sounds like dogs running through empty rooms despite there being no pets. As the disturbances grow worse, she experiences tugging bedding, objects moved overnight, failing electronics, and a crushing feeling of being watched—until the next tenant independently describes the same room and even more violent activity.Story 3 – During a late-night walk beneath Pasadena’s Colorado Street Bridge, a man loses nearly four hours of time and suddenly cannot remember where he lives. Years later, he returns in broad daylight and finds a freezing cold patch of air in direct summer sunlight, only steps away from the blazing heat.Story 4 – While driving Highway 152 through Pacheco Pass early one morning, a man spots a four-foot-tall figure standing silently on the roadside. It wears what appears to be a black monk-like robe, with impossibly thin white legs beneath it. When he asks a ranger about the figure, the ranger gives him one warning: “Stay away from it.”Story 5 – After seeing three glowing lights descend near a mountain and transform into two bright pyramid-shaped objects hovering above the trees, a woman and her friends have another encounter weeks later. Something watches them from the top of a palm tree—then later taps at her bedroom window and leans down from above the glass, revealing the face of an eight- or nine-foot-tall gray alien.Story 6 – A spontaneous trip to a Honda dealership turns into a deeply unsettling encounter when an older man named Ramses approaches a couple, greets them by name, and begins sharing details about the man’s grandfather and his war history. The stranger asks for nothing, explains nothing, and leaves—yet seems to have been waiting specifically for them to arrive.SourcesStory 1 – Reddit post by mickstrangeStory 2 – Reddit r/Ghoststories post by AromaticBaker2681, “For those who believe in ghosts, what was the exact experience that turned you from a skeptic into a believer?” – LINKStory 3 – Reddit r/LosAngeles post by an anonymous/deleted user, Colorado Street Bridge encounter – LINKStory 4 – Instagram submission by @espositomike206 – LINKStory 5 – Anonymous Facebook submission – LINKStory 6 – Reddit r/Paranormal post by an anonymous/deleted user, “This is an honest to God true story” – LINKDisclosure:The narration is 100% voiced by me.
