Scariest story you have read/heard about?

Well I live in a religious family, yet I am an Atheist. But some of the stories I hear my family members talk about make me feel like converting at times. (My family doesn't know I'm Atheist).

My aunty is quite religious and has a strong belief in the supernatural. I over heard her talking to my parents on how 10 years ago she used to live next to and older lady who used to come outside in her white robe all the time. Well one day she died. And apparently my Aunty one night saw a white robe in her bedroom for no reason and heard screaming telling her to go away. Well it was apparently a dream. She moved out a month later.

My mum suffered from sleep paralysis. When she was a kid she would hear footsteps that sounded like little kids running up and down her hall way. She once had something she described as a demon stand on her face whilst she was asleep. But she said the worst one, was when she slept over my uncles (her cousins house) and saw a man with a large nose outside the window looking down at her. She said it was the most frightened she ever felt and said she could sense he wanted her to come outside. Even those were the effect of sleep paralysis it still freaks me out.

I have an 8 year old brother who has OCD, I have barely heard him tell a lie. Well about a month ago he was explaining to my father and I how he sees two figures when he sleeps sometimes. One who he describes as bad and the other as good. He has said that one has a tail and the other doesn't. We asked is they've ever done anything and he said they haven't, they are just there, doing nothing but talking.

Well those freaked me out, hoped you enjoyed reading them.
