Deadly Waters

Three friends went to a remote beach. One guy wandered off and suddenly heard a "hey" coming from the waves. Far out in the waves, a lone figure floated, unmoving. Thinking it was his friend, he paddled toward it—until the shape’s face came into view. It wasn’t his friend at all. As he turned back, something icy gripped his ankle and dragged him under. A surfer saved him, but the image of that corpse-like face still lingers. Later, they learned the beach was closed… its waters known for taking l...

“I’m Scared… Someone Is Here”

A routine burglary call turns into something far more unexplainable. Responding to a report of an intruder, two officers arrive at a quiet suburban home and are led to the upstairs bathroom—where the door is locked, the lights are off, and shuffling noises echo from within. When they announce themselves, a woman’s voice responds from the other side: “I’m scared… someone is here.” Moments later, the door unlocks from the inside. But the bathroom is empty... Follow Be.

Echoes from the Empty Campus

When the world shut down in 2020, a lone security guard was assigned to patrol an abandoned New England boarding school. But during one of his nightly rounds, the silence was broken by phantom footsteps, disembodied voices, and a chilling encounter in the campus arts center. What he saw in the reflection would haunt him forever: a suffocating blue face, gasping for air. When he reported the experience, his supervisor turned pale—and revealed two terrifying stories buried deep in the school’s his...

The Silent Call from the Cellar

In this chilling tale from a Scottish police officer, a routine night shift takes an unsettling turn when a silent 999 call draws him and his partner to an abandoned countryside inn. What begins as a standard welfare check soon becomes something far more mysterious — with no guests, no working landlines… and a disconnected rotary phone in a locked cellar that somehow dialed for help. Was it a glitch in the system, a haunting echo of the past, or something much stranger? Follow Be. Busta on Insta...

Never Go Swimming at Night

Deep in the Midwest, surrounded by forest and farmland, sits a remote house with a dark past—locals call it " the haunted farmhouse ." One summer night around 10 p.m., a group of siblings relaxes in the backyard pool when they hear a voice drift out from the trees: “Hello…” What follows is pure terror. A human-like figure emerges from the brush and bolts into the field nearby. Moments later, a loud, blood-curdling screech tears through the night, followed by the overwhelming scent of blood. Then...

The Dead End Track

They say something still lingers on the dead-end track—where decades ago, an entire rail crew died in a collapse. The line was shut down, the wreckage buried… but not forgotten. During a routine 2 a.m. shift, a conductor is sent near the abandoned stretch. His flashlight suddenly cuts out. From the darkness comes the rustling. Then, without warning, a massive rock is thrown at him—followed by a piercing, inhuman growl. As he scrambles to escape, more rocks slam into the train car, and something ...

The Face Under the Bed

When a man moves into a new apartment, he senses something is off from the very first night. A presence. A feeling of being watched. And then—he sees it. Through the mirror, a pale, unmoving face staring at him from beneath the bed. Night after night, it returns, always the same blank stare. But when he finally chooses to ignore it, something changes. The bed sinks behind him. A breath grazes his neck. And a voice whispers: “You finally stopped looking.” Follow Be. Busta on Insta: @Be.Busta To l...

It Waits at Night

On a remote generational ranch, a man begins to notice something is deeply wrong. It starts with a heavy, bone-rattling thud echoing from the basement every night—always the same time. Then come the shadows, creeping through hallways that should be empty. His bedroom door opens on its own, night after night, no matter how tightly he shuts it. But the worst comes when he wakes up paralyzed, unable to move, a crushing presence lurking in the room with him. Is it the land? The house? Or something o...

Wearing My Mother's Face

In a quiet town in Argentina, a young boy is home alone with his baby sister when he sees something in the backyard—something that looks exactly like his mother. But this version of her is wrong. Her skin is pale, her clothes tattered, and her eyes are hollow, inhuman. She speaks his name and calls him to come outside. Paralyzed by fear, he stays put. The figure never enters, never blinks. It simply stares… then slowly walks away—backwards—never breaking eye contact. Mom returns later that day. ...

Dragged Down

A 24-year-old soldier stationed in Tampa finally gets his own place. But soon after moving in, the nights turn sinister. Sleep paralysis strikes night after night—until the terror follows him into the waking world. He feels a cold hand grip his arm and drag him downward. Something unseen lies heavy on his back. And when he checks the mirror… deep scratches cover his skin. He didn’t stay long after that... Follow Be. Busta on Insta: @Be.Busta To listen to the podcast on YouTube: http://bit.ly/BeS...

Hunted like an Animal

A young service technician wraps up a job around 11 p.m., driving alone through the remote highways of Utah. Google Maps suggests a shortcut—a dirt road that cuts through the desert. He takes it. Then his truck dies. No cell service. No lights. Just silence. As he searches for help, distant laughter pierces the night. Then movement. Three shadowy figures begin chasing him—fast, relentless, like predators on a hunt. He’s being hunted like an animal. In a blind panic, he runs through the darkness,...

The Devil’s Insight

A team of HVAC technicians arrives at a decaying, old house for a routine job—but nothing about this visit is routine. The woman who answers the door radiates something dark and unnatural. The air inside is thick with a foul, unfamiliar stench. And all the while, it feels like something unseen is watching. Just as they prepare to leave, the woman approaches one of the men—and calmly lists the names of his children. Then she asks about the baby his wife is carrying… including a name he never told...

Black Eyes

On the last day of sixth grade, a preteen takes a shortcut through a quiet suburban street—one he’s walked dozens of times before. But this time, there’s a car parked in the distance… engine off, someone sitting inside. As he passes, the figure calls out, “Excuse me.” When the boy turns, he’s met with something unnatural—pitch-black eyes staring back at him. No whites. No irises. Just void. He runs, but that face follows him in dreams for years. They say if you see one of them —the black-eyed pe...
