15 Creepy Home Alone Stories That Will Make You Think Twice About Staying Home Alone

by Liezel

When we think of spooky places, we usually picture abandoned buildings, strange cabins in the woods, an empty campsite in the middle of nowhere, or generally things that we see in horror films. The last thing we'd visualize would be our own homes.

That's because our homes are supposed to be the safest places for us or at least the most relaxing. It's your space and where you can be most free after all.

Unfortunately, the creepy and haunted don't have boundaries. They don't care if the place is your home and if you don't want them there.

They will just be there watching your every move and waiting for the right moment to let their presence be known. But that's only for the newer houses.

For old homes though, creepy things kind of come like an expectation. There might be something and there might be not.

No matter what it is, it's not a fun experience to suddenly discover something else that you can't always see as living in the house with you, especially when you're home alone.

Still, they're interesting to read about. So here are a few stories of people who've had creepy experiences in their own homes while they were alone.

P.S. Don't read these alone or in the dark.

All these stories have definitely given us the heebie-jeebies. And we do really feel for the people who went through those horrifying encounters.

It's not always easy to get a first-hand experience with the ghosts you're living with, you know? If it were us, we'd probably be set off looking for a new house to live in.

Now, we hope you've made sure you're the only one in your room after reading this. Happy sleeping!
