We often think that gut-wrenching and chilling situations only happen in movies, yet real life can bring even more thrilling scenarios than any work of fiction. Some of these creepy events can have closure, but many remain unexplained forever, making them all the more astonishing. In this article, we share a mix of thrilling and spine-tingling stories that will make your heart beat much faster.

Story 1

The night before my best friend, 16, vanished, she handed me $5 and said, “I owe you money. Take this bill!” It felt random, but I put it in my jar without looking twice. 3 weeks later, I suddenly remembered and opened the jar. When I examined the bill, my blood ran cold. She had marked it with a tiny handwritten message. I looked closely to read it and I froze: there was a message in blue ink that said: “No matter what happens, you will stay in my heart.”

Chills ran down my spine. It could’ve been a simple note between friends, but the timing felt eerie. I rushed to the police station to show them, but it didn’t go anywhere. It’s been 10 years, and though my friend was never found, not a single day goes by without me thinking about that bill, wondering if it held a deeper meaning.

Story 2

When I was a kid (about 13), we lived in a two-story house. I don’t remember what I was doing, but I heard my dad calling me from the room upstairs. I called back and received no answer. As I walked to the stairway, I happened to look out into our driveway and saw that the truck was gone and my dad wasn’t home.
I still don’t know what called for me that day, but it wasn’t my father.
