Your spooky stories

Alright, here is my true scary story (tm): This was when I was living with my ex back in a rural town called Athens, Ohio (OU OH YEAH!). This town always has a HUGE halloween party: they shut down the streets and have concerts all day and night: it's a not-to-miss event. I went out to a few smaller parties but came home relatively early, around 11pm. At the time I was living with my less than 48-hours ex. We were both on the lease and we were still figuring out what to do since the break-up was so fresh: we had decided that he would sleep on the couch and I would sleep in the bedroom until I was able to move out. Around 3am or so, I hear a fumble and a loud thud: that jolts me up. I rush into the livingroom to see if he is okay, and he's holding the door closed, panting. He turns to me wide eyed and tells me to call 911. I do, and I help him close up the door. Apparently he had woken up to a complete stranger standing over him in the livingroom, with our door wide open. The stranger was in a hoodie, drenched in rain with a few spots of dried blood on him. I comforted my ex and demanded that we both sleep in the bed since I refused to let him sleep alone after that. He was really shaken, and I was too. The cops came and interviewed us and a short 20 minutes later after us giving a thorough description: they found the guy. Turns out he was a black-out-drunk out-of-towner who thought our apartment was his hotel room he rented for the weekend. He broke in thinking the key was just stuck, but he was on the complete opposite side of town! And to top it off, his halloween costume was that off a serial killer. To this day, it is still one of the scariest things I've ever encountered, but looking back it was really funny knowing all the circumstances. That night was the last time me and my ex were civil with each other, and even though it is a scary story, I really treasure it because it brought us together for one last time.
