10 Women Share Their Creepiest Encounters with “Nice Guys”

For having the name “Mr. Nice Guy,” the guys in this article don’t really live up to their title.

In fact, they’re pretty shady dudes who put on a nice front in order to get things from people. We all know guys like the ones the AskReddit users are talking about here.

1. Creeper

“When I was in college, there was this guy that hung around my friend group. No one actually knew which one of us brought him in, so maybe he just decided to crash, who knows. But he was creepy. He hit on ALL the girls in the group aggressively and whine DAILY about how we should just give him a chance to show us “how a lady should be treated”. We usually just rolled our eyes, although a few of the guys took him aside on separate occasions and told him to knock it off.

He also went way over the top in a lot of ways. He’d bring the girls flowers or memorize their favorite candy/soda/snacks and present them as a “token of his great affection” (yep, he called it that). He had a bad habit of insisting, like legit would not take no for an answer, on walking the women wherever we needed to go. Myself and my best friend at the time both told him his behavior was creepy.

There were three women in the “core” group, and five others who were close enough that they’d show up at LAN parties or whatever we were doing. He asked every single one of us out at least 50 times. Every single time we said no, he’d go off on this awful tirade about how women didn’t want nice guys, and how we should just be open to the possibility of him being “the love of our lives”. It did not matter how many times we told him we were not interested, not attracted, or IN RELATIONSHIPS.

Sophomore year, a new girl joined the group. For whatever reason, she liked our Nice Guy. A lot. Weird. But he wasn’t in to her at all. A few of us started using his own BS rhetoric against him when he began whining about her not leaving him alone. It was pretty gross.”

2. Swooped in

“Anyhow, nothing ever happened and I got a boyfriend until I was 23 at which time we broke up.

This is when Mr nice guy swooped in showing up at my house with flowers and gifts unannounced. I never gave him my address….he asked MY MOM. Then he would notice I posted I had a cold on Facebook and would show up with cold medicine and soup. Which would be nice if I had ANY interest in him but I didn’t. He would look where I checked into on FB and COINCIDENTALLY just be there. I felt bad being like “dude STOP” because my mom invited him to every family function and I didn’t want to make things weird.

It hit the pinnacle when he got a job where I worked just to be closer to me and he told everyone we were dating. Spoiler alert- we were definitely NOT. I flipped out on him and told him he was creepy and that after all these years he never took the hint after me never answering his calls/texts or taking him up on his relentless attempts to take me out to dinner. I quit my job and moved, blocked him on everything and had a firm conversation with my mom about keeping him away from me. She was upset and made excuses for him but ultimately obliged.

Years later I’m now married with a baby and he still relentlessly pursues me if he sees me in public.”

3. Dodged a bullet

“I was friends with a coworker. We had hung out a few times socially after work and got along well but it never really occurred to me to wonder if he was interested in me. At that point in my life I did not get a lot of male attention, and honestly was pretty cringey myself, but that’s for a different thread.

Anyway we were walking side by side and I guess he went to put his arm around me. It surprised me (like that ‘someone is tapping you on the opposite shoulder’ trick) and I turned abruptly. He took it as incredibly rude, gave me an angry lecture about leading people on and how disgusting you make someone feel when you literally flinch from their touch, and called me a b*tch. Uh… sorry for my reflexes?

About a week later another friend came to me at work to let me know that guy was telling everyone I was a whore who was sleeping my way through the department. Nice!

The dumbest part was that I probably would have gone on a date with him if he’d asked–I just had no idea he was thinking along those lines. Bullet dodged!”

4. Creepy client

“I have a client who hits on me. He knows I am married because he mentions it. He also lashes out verbally if I say things he doesn’t like, which is truly scary. He is 55+, never moved out of his parent’s house, and spends his mom’s money for everything. She is in her 80’s and works two jobs to pay for his toys. One day, she came in with him to see if there was anything we could do to get his bills lower since she is struggling, and he started lashing out at her. “Shut the F*ck up. SHE ISN’T TALKING TO YOU!” and “YOU’RE STUPID!! SHUT UP!” I felt honestly worried for his mom.

Anyway, he would purposely let his insurance lapse so he would have an excuse to come in and sign a form so he could talk to me. He was very blatant about it as well. He always threw his mom under the bus for not “paying his bills” but then would talk about how he bought this or that and then would say “I know I should’ve paid that insurance, but I couldn’t pass up a chance to come say hi to you.”

One time, he said he couldn’t come in until Saturday to sign the form and asked if I could make arrangements to be there on the weekend instead. I told him we were closed. My coworker, and elderly man of 60+ said he would be here if I had the forms ready. The guy got angry and said he wanted me to be here on Saturday, alone, and that I should cancel my plans and be here no matter what. My mind got stuck on the “alone” part and I told him I couldn’t do it but that I would be back on Monday (with a full staff, just in case).

One day, he called to use his mom’s credit card to pay his bill. I didn’t answer the phone right away because I had another client with me. He keeps calling over and over and over again. Finally, after the client left, I picked up the phone and he started yelling at me. I asked him why he was so upset and he said “I COULDN’T GET YOU ON THE PHONE TO PAY MY BILL SO I USED THE MONEY TO BUY BASEBALL CARDS!!! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! NOW I CANNOT PAY MY INSURANCE! THIS! IS! YOUR! FAULT!!” then slammed the phone down on me.

Just this past month, his vehicle broke down, so he had to go buy another one. His mom went with him. He had insufficient credit, so his mom had to buy it under her name. I told them I could not add the vehicle to the policy since the vehicle was not titled to him. We would have to cancel the policy and she would need to put it on her insurance plan, which was with a different agency.

Finally! I was free!

Until he came in last week to sign the cancellation form, a document that is time-stamped. When he arrived and I didn’t have the form already printed out, he went off on me right there. ‘YOU SHOULD’VE HAD THIS FORM READY!” and claimed I was being incompetent. I told him it was a time-stamped form and that the document is not generated until the client is sitting in front of me and ready to cancel because it has to be signed that moment. He signed the form and stomped off. I felt relief that I wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore until he came back in the door and said “Btw, let me know when you break it off with your husband! I might have to come back and get insurance from you again.”

I let me husband know everything, just in case.”

5. Not a good approach

“He wanted to impress upon me what a good guy he was, and he was also too scared to ask me out like a normal person. He killed two birds with one stone by having his “split personality” tell me it really wanted to kill me, but Nice Guy was bravely holding it back because he liked me so much. Obviously I fell head over heels immediately. Not.”

6. A story from a guy

“I worked with a gay guy for a 5 month period. I was only at the job temporarily and he was nice and wasn’t weird at first. I am sure he was interested because he kept commenting on my body, like if I would scratch my arm he would mention that I was ‘showing my arm and flexing.’

I made it known I wasn’t gay at all and he didn’t take my declines nicely.

I eventually moved back home as the temp job was over with. I had to make up a lie about getting rid of my phone and deleting my social media to focus on my life. Blocked him on social media but this was before you could just easily block someone’s number. He would text me randomly even though I told him I ‘got rid’ of my phone. Really gave me chills even having to remember something from years ago.”

7. Sounds like a psycho

” “Nice Guy” who worked down in HR. (Was completely incompetent too but that’s another story.)

Anyway, he’d come up with excuses to come see all the single women in the building. He’d stand too close to you. Sometimes he’d stand in your doorway and just stare for a while without saying anything. Always very creepy when you’d look up and there’d he’d be.

He liked to ask incredibly personal and invasive questions. He’d complain to anyone who listened about how women just didn’t want a “nice guy” like him. He faked being into several different religions trying to pick up a “good girl” because he didn’t want a smoker or drinker (despite being both those things himself) and wanted a virgin who wasn’t a “fatty” because he was a “man not a whale” (he was tubby himself.)

He also believed that if he met up with a group that had women in it, those women were dating him. And he’d get very mad if said women paid more attention to another man in the group than him, sometimes just get up and leave.

One Friday a group of workers were going out for drinks after work. He invited himself along, so one of the women in the group said, “See you there!” He decided this meant they were dating. Then when she didn’t pay attention to him much during the night and talked more to her new, male coworker – he just got mad and left without a word.

Nobody knew what happened to make him leave. Until the rumor mill started up because he told everyone that his female coworker had “cucked” him (his fancy word for cuckolding) that night.”

8. The dangers of online gaming

“In college, I played a lot of online video games. I posted on forums related to these games often. One guy, we’ll call him Bob, decided to show me how careless I’d been with my personal information. This lead to a phone call, on a number I never provided, during which he told me what dorm I lived in, at what campus, as well as information from public records regarding my family. On this call he told me how easy it would be for him to get there. This was quite frightening, and when I put him on blast publicly for it, he stated he was “trying to show me how careless I’d been” and prove a point so I would be more careful and how he was just trying to protect me.

Years later, I went to a group meet-up with a bunch of people from this forum with a guest I knew already, and he called me, on the same number (should’ve changed it) to ask me to wait for him outside, because he knew what I looked like. My guest and I met up with everyone and pretty quickly left.”

9. The waiter

“A waiter at a restaurant left his number on my bill and asked me on a date. I was single and agreed because we had mutual friends who vouched for him and he seemed nice.
Night of the date, he shows up to my house absurdly overdressed (there was a vest involved) with a single rose that he presented to me. He took me to a basketball game, and the second I sat down the stranger to my left just says “Oh, you must be L! We’ve heard so much about you.” Turns out the two people sitting to my left were not strangers but in fact HIS MOTHER AND FATHER. We then go to dinner, he turns white as a ghost and excuses himself to the restroom for maybe 30 minutes. At this point I start to worry and get the check. He then comes back looking incredibly unwell and I say, clearly you’re ill, don’t worry about taking me home — I’ll grab a cab. He wasn’t having it and insisted on taking me home because he had another “surprise” planned for me. There’s a road that has famous views where I live, and he took the road to one of the lookout points, parked the car, and turned on Cheek to Cheek by Frank Sinatra. He got out and asked me to dance with him, and I said we should just look at the view. Then he proceeded to vomit absolutely everywhere. I shrieked and jumped back into the car to avoid him vomiting all over me. He takes me home and then calls me an hour later to tell me it was the best night of his life.

I tried to tell him I wasn’t interested but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. He claimed I would never find anyone who treated women like queens the way he did, said I would never find anyone more chivalrous, and dropped off a letter at my home in the middle of the night that contained the most horrible things anyone has ever said to me. He also had a major affinity for three-piece suits and porkpie hats. Fun times.”

10. Sounds stable

“A guy tried to take my phone and use it to text my then-boyfriend that we were over. When confronted, nice guy said my boyfriend didn’t treat me right, or else we wouldn’t be doing long distance this was during college, and he was 1.5 hours away by train.

When I obviously got mad, he called me a b*tch, a whore, and an idiot for not realizing what I had in front of me. Cue 3 days of emo/angsty facebook statuses with me tagged in them. I block him. He cries about why we aren’t friends anymore, I ask him to give me some time and we can try again. 1.5 days later, dick pic. When I didn’t respond to that, he sent me a long, handwritten letter about how perfect my body and how he would treat me like a princess, especially in bed.”

The Reason Why Children With Mentally Unstable Parents Overthink Everything

There’s no denying that we are products of our environment. People who grow up in households with mentally unstable parents carry a heavy burden for the rest of their lives that affects them in a variety of ways.

A genderqueer writer named Dawson shared their experience of how growing up with a parent who was mentally unstable impacted their life. Dawson believes it makes people overanalyze all the little things in life.

Dawson explained:

A lot of people thought Dawson’s words were helpful.

I think it’s safe to say a lot of us can relate to Dawson’s words of wisdom.

These 10 People Discovered Their Partners Were Living Double Lives

When you are in a deeply committed relationship with someone, it can be jarring to realize that they have been deceiving you. The person you thought you knew suddenly changes in an instant.

AskReddit users shared their painful, personal stories about learning that partners were leading different lives.

1. Scandalous

“I was seeing this girl. We met at work, and hit it off pretty quickly. Things were pretty normal. We’d go out, come back to my place, do our thing and then sometimes she’d stay or other times she’d head home. This went on for about a year.

So when things started to get weird was when we went out to a bar, both got shitfaced, and I said well your place is like a few miles down the road, let’s just crash there. She was adamant about getting a cab back to my place. Seemed a little weird but whatever, yay drunk sex. So this happened a few more times, she’d always have excuses, her place was a mess. She was painting. Etc. At this point it’s not adding up.

So one night I decide to surprise her at home, figuring she would be happy to split a pizza and a 6 pack. She’s not home. But her fiancée is. Turns out he’s a pretty cool guy, has suspected something is going on with her, says she’s been staying late at work a lot lately, including tonight. No she isn’t.

So we decide to split the pizza, watch the baseball game and wait for her. I will never forget the look of oh I’m fucked on her face when she strolled through the door and saw her fiancée and her boyfriend sitting on the couch eating pizza and drinking beer.

TLDR: If stupid things don’t add up, it’s usually for a good reason.”

2. Swinger

“Not my partner, but my boss (married mother of two) was always taking long lunches, forgetting things, dressing particularly nicely for normal days, seeming a little tipsy after lunch. Once, a friend mentioned the neighborhood she’d moved into appeared to have a big swingers vibe, and my boss laughed out loud but went back to her work, saying nothing.

We’d make jokes she was having an affair but I don’t think anyone believed it. She was a proper southern lady, dedicated to her family, or so we thought.

After she passed away (RIP) they found a highly detailed sex log that specified huge numbers of guys and a liaison almost every day except the week she and her family took their annual vacation.

She used code for the guy, the hotel, and details like 2 O’s… ? or *boring ? * or likes oral ?

3. Another woman

“My dude had to go home and help with his ailing stepdad on the weekends. Initially, I was apprehensive because they had a rocky past, but was convinced because family is family, right? So it must be true.

He’d leave the city Fri afternoon, return Monday night – it was a three hour drive out to the middle of the nowhere and was almost a decade ago when cell service wasn’t that great, and I worked overnights at a hospital; it worked out.

This went on for a year and a half before I broke up with him. You see, things weren’t adding up, I wasn’t allowed to talk to his Mom or sis anymore, we were growing distant, he’d get very agitated with me. Also, I was never invited to go with him, I mean I could have asked for time off … Therefore, I hired a PI.

Turned out he’d hop a ferry to Canada and visit some other woman … I wound up contacting the other woman after I kicked him out. She and I exchanged some info, filling in a lot of the missing pieces for both of us; she was pissed she was bamboozled and broke up with him too.

Through some friends, I received news a year later that his stepfather died, but this guy never visited and had actually become estranged from the family, and they didn’t know where he even was. About a year later he contacted me and told me he had lung cancer and wanted to be my friend again. This wasn’t reciprocated, partially because his lung cancer info never added up (I’m in the medical field, you can’t fool me man), but mostly because I didn’t trust him, so why bother? I told him to pound sand. This escalated his illness AND said he had now suffered a concussion due to a bicycle accident. Keep in mind this was all via text and a few phone calls, we did not live around one another. When I still would not spend time with him (he wanted to watch Netflix over Skype or play video games), he said a former lover proposed marriage and he was leaving the country to be with/marry her. It’s been over a year since I’ve heard from him, but fully expect something in a few months because he does this cyclical pattern when he contacts me.

Okay guy.”

4. One thing you should NEVER lie about

“He pretended to have combat-induced PTSD, that he used as an excuse for his shitty behavior. Turned out he was never in combat, but he talked about it every day, all the time to everyone.

It’s usually just when the lies don’t add up, dates and names change and there are obvious things that you choose to ignore (he told me he talked to his dad about it all the time, but when I went to meet his parents he said that they don’t know anything about it so don’t bring it up).”

5. Secret family

“I am actually descended from a secret family, my granddad cheated on his original family (i think he had 4 / 5 kids at the time) with my grandma (who was 20 – 30 years younger than him)

My grandma told my mum a little before she died, having successfully kept a secret for decades.

Its pretty weird to think I have a whole group of relatives in Ireland I know nothing about. And ireland isn’t exactly a big country.”

6. Hidden habit

“I found the hidden heroin habit when I found him not breathing in the bathroom and the paramedics that came asked me if he’s taken anything… I didn’t know heroin enemas existed.

Paramedics unable to revive him and every year I think about what could have been…. :/ “

7. Mistress

“I was with a guy for about 6 months who would get really awkward when this one friend of his would call. He’d clench up when I’d ask about her and we’d always end up in a fight. Obviously, he turned it around and said I was insecure and jealous. He broke up with me pretty abruptly and didn’t give me much of a reason. Turns out I was the mistress and she was the girlfriend. They’re getting married this year.”

8. Ouch

“I just found out 12 days ago that a guy I have been seeing for the past 14 months is getting married soon. So, yes, ouch! Hang in there.”

9. Married

“I was with my ex-bf for almost 2 years when I found out he was MARRIED. His ex-wife (got divorced when she found out he was cheating on her + blamed her for not getting pregnant to justify his cheating) She ended up having serious health issues, i found out about his marriage when she contacted me, i apologized to her and i felt like shit for the next 6 months about it.

As for that asshole, i’ve confronted him and he tried to act like he’s the victim, i’ve never felt sorry for someone like that my whole life, totally pathetic. Few months back i saw that the ex-wife got married and has a beautiful baby now. That asshole still lives with his mom and adds random girls on Facebook trying to get laid.”

10. Pure evil

“I dated a guy in University who told me pretty much right away that he had terminal cancer and had about a year to live. I really liked him so I decided that I would stay with him and support him through it. He never wanted to talk about it and when I’d try to check in with him he’d go quiet and change the subject. He told me that I was the only person who knew about it and that I wasn’t allowed to talk about it with anyone else. Well we ended up dating for three years, and I never once witnessed a doctor’s appointment or any type of symptom (and I was still the only person who apparently “knew”).

He became incredibly emotionally manipulative and abusive, tried to isolate me from friends and family, and eventually became physically abusive. Of course, whenever I would try to leave he’d use his “condition” to play on my emotions (and naivete) to get me to stay. He’d also physically block the door, pin me down, and do whatever he could to prevent me from physically leaving.

I’ll never forget the day I told him that he was such a good person with a good heart (something to do with how he was handling an issue with his alcoholic mother), and he mumbled “No, I’m really not”. I thought then that he was being humble, but looking back on it, it was probably guilt.

I’ve built a happy and successful life for myself now and have a wonderfully loving and supportive partner, but it still makes me full body cringe to think of how I spent so much time with what I consider to be pure evil.”

Six Flags Has a Coffin Challenge This October

Spending 30 hours in a coffin is exactly what the Six Flags in St. Louis is inviting guests to attempt this Halloween season, WATE reports.

Most people go to amusement parks for thrills, but they would typically find those in high-flying rides like rollercoasters and not, you know…coffins.

The “Coffin Challenge” is to take place during the park’s Fright Fest and aims to help people see what it would be like to live as the undead. The people who take the park up on their dare will crawl into “slightly used” coffins at 1pm on October 13th and remain there until 7pm the next day.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

Slightly used? Nope nope noppity nope.

If you feel differently (and are, I’m assuming, not at all claustrophobic) and want to take Six Flags up on their dare, you should know that you are allowed to bring pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags and you will be allowed meals, snacks, drinks, and one short bathroom break per hour.

I’m sure you’ve realized by now that successfully completing this challenge will come with a reward from Six Flags – if you last the entire 30 hours, you’ll be the proud owner of 2 Six Flags 2019 season passes, a Fright Fest prize package with two VIP haunted house passes, and two tickets to ride the park’s haunted train ride.

Anyone who attempts the challenge, regardless of finishing it successfully, will be entered in to a random drawing for an unnamed $300 prize.

Oh, and you get to take your “slightly used” coffin home with you, so…free decorations?

If you’re interested in putting yourself in the shoes (coffin?) of a vampire for a weekend in October, you can complete this form for Six Flags and return it before midnight on October 3.

Women Share What They Would Do If Men Had a 9:00 P.M Curfew…and the Responses are Heartbreaking

Being a woman is wonderful, but it doesn’t come without serious risks. Too often those risks can be traced back to something that has to do with men and their behavior in public. You know the ones. The men who scream obscenities, “accidentally” bump into our bodies, call us names for rejecting their unsolicited advances, or do whatever it is they do to objectify us and exert their power over us are a problem. So are the ones that stand by and silently watch it happen. It’s why, as women, we live our lives defensively.

We expect and prepare for the worst whenever we leave our homes. We avoid activities we love because we can’t feel safe doing them at night. This is why we avoid public transportation when possible. It’s the same reason we make it a point to travel in packs wherever we go. It’s why we carry mace, or something more stopping with us. We keep our keys in our hands ready to scratch, poke holes in, and gouge anyone that makes us fear for our safety.

Photo Credit: Twitter

When Danielle Muscato went on Twitter and asked women what they would do if men lived under a 9:00 p.m. curfew, as is enforced against women in a few regressive nations, the answers where wholly depressing, and sadly unsurprising.

Photo Credit: Twitter

It’s not that women want to go out and do all kinds of crazy things at night, but if they do, that’s okay. Women want to do the simple things that we should be able to take part in that are missed. Going for a nighttime jog, maybe even with headphones on, would be great. Catching a bus without fear. Going to the grocery store alone at night. They are the kinds of things women immediately relate to, and miss themselves.

Photo Credit: Twitter

What we learn by reading what thousands of women answered is that the world feels, and too often is, dangerous for women.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Without fear of men, women might open doors at night. We might stop off at someplace new for a coffee. Maybe we would even smile more – because isn’t that what so many men keep telling women we need to do anyway.

10 Must-Watch Netflix Shows if You Love True Crime

It’s no secret that true crime dramas are on the rise. Podcasts like “Serial” and television series like Netflix’s “Making a Murderer” have sparked the morbid curiosity in listeners and viewers alike.

Plus, there’s even great fictional content out there like “True Detective” on HBO (not Season 2, however).

If these shows speak to the inner investigator in you, here are 10 more offerings from Netflix that you’re definitely going to want to check out.

#10. “Inside the Criminal Mind”

Image Credit: Netflix

This original series enlists the help of neurologists and criminologists to examine how some of the world’s most infamous killers, cultists, or kidnappers might have become that way.

#9. “The Investigator”

Image Credit: Netflix

This British crime drama follows a researcher who delves into a series of unsolved murders. The first season deals with the case of a woman who disappeared, but the police never found her body.

#8. “The Staircase”

Image Credit: Netflix

This documentary-style series follows the events that take place after a crime novelists’ wife is found dead at the bottom of the stairs in her home. It will surely be fun to play private detective as you try to figure out whether he did it or whether it was an accident after all.

#7. “I Am a Killer”

Image Credit: Netflix

It doesn’t get any more real than this documentary series, which profiles confessed killers on death row, and delves into the crimes that put them there.

#6. :Evil Genius:

Image Credit: Netflix

Another documentary — this one digs into the 2003 attempted bank robbery by a pizza delivery man in Pennsylvania. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are tons of conspiracy theories surrounding “America’s most diabolical bank heist,” so you’ll undoubtedly be kicking around your own ideas for a while after watching.

#5. “The Confession Tapes”

Image Credit: Netflix

If you believe that only guilty people confess, you might feel differently after listening to these real life confessions. The criminals who made them claim to this day that they were forced into their guilty pleas.

#4. “Nurses Who Kill”

Image Credit: Netflix

This documentary series outlines true stories of nurses obsessed with killing instead of curing. Fair warning:  you might think twice about checking yourself into the hospital after watching.

#3. “Murderous Affairs”

Image Credit: Netflix

There are entire series dedicated to murderous spouses on various cable channels, but this documentary follows what happens when extramarital affairs go horribly wrong.

Flint, Michigan has way more problems than just their poisoned water supply. Sadly, many of them stem from the fact that their police force — which is responsible for 100,000 residents — consists of only 98 officers. This documentary series follows the Flint police as they interact with the community they’ve sworn to serve.

Even More Spooky Ghost Stories from Across the United States

No matter where you grew up, there were likely some urban legends and spooky stories that everyone knew. Maybe they were about that old abandoned house that no one ever dared get too close to. Or perhaps they were about the woods where someone went missing many years ago.

Every state and every community has those delightfully scary stories, and here are 10 of the creepiest from different states.

1. Alabama

Some of the people who boarded the ship Eliza Battle in February 1858 had no idea that they would never get off the doomed vessel. On March 1, the ship that was bound for Mobile and was loaded with cotton bales caught fire and 33 passengers and crew members died.

People say that sometimes you can see the burning Eliza Battle rise from the Tombigbee River, trying to make it all the way to its final destination.

If you dare to venture to Blackbird Hill in Nebraska on October 17, listen closely to see if you hear a woman screaming at the top of the hill. The voice belongs to a woman who was murdered by her jealous husband. The man stabbed his wife and jumped from the cliff. Spoooooooky.

The town of Tunnelton got its name from all the railroad tunnels that surround it. The one called “The Big Tunnel” in town is supposedly haunted by a man who was beheaded during the construction of the structure.

Another ghost known to roam the tunnel is Henry Dixon, a watchman who was murdered there in 1908. His murder was never solved, and some believe that Dixon roams the eerie tunnel seeking justice.

Located in Cedar Rapids, Coe College is said to be haunted by a student named Helen Esther Roberts, who died during the 1918 flu pandemic. Roberts used to haunt Voorhees Hall, where she lived, and is thought to live in an old grandfather clock.

Students claim to have seen a ghost while the clock was being installed, a ghost that pulls the covers off of their beds and even plays the piano in the lobby on occasion. Others claim that the clock sometimes stops working at 2:53, the time when Roberts died. The clock was moved to Stuart Hall in the 1970s, and that’s where Roberts now plies her ghostly trade.

5. Maine

Of course the home state of Stephen King has a haunted lighthouse. It’s located on Seguin Island, two miles off the coast of Maine. The legend says that a lighthouse keeper and his wife moved into the structure in the mid-1800s and that the man had a piano and sheet music delivered from the mainland so his wife could play.

The wife learned one song and played it over and over, eventually driving her husband insane. The lighthouse keeper smashed the piano to bits with an axe before he murdered his wife: he then took his own life. Visitors say they sometimes still hear the ghostly song being played, or that they see the lighthouse keeper walking around carrying an axe. Is that a Stephen King story, or what?!?

6. Michigan

If you happen to be near the town of Saugatuck in western Michigan, beware of the Melon Heads. Local folklore tells us that these creatures with small bodies and oversized heads haunt the woods around the town.

Some believe the Melon Heads were 19th-century children who suffered from hydrocephaly that made their heads swell and that a local hospital was conducting terrifying experiments on them. The little haunters are said to tap on car windows (especially if you’re parked and gettin’ it on).

During the battle of Poison Spring in April 1864, Union General Frederick Steele took over the home of a mailman named John Chidester to use as his headquarters. Chidester was thought to be a Confederate spy, and Union troops fired into the walls where they believed the man was hiding in a closet. Chidester fled to Texas, but the bullet holes can still be seen in the home.

Some believe that Chidester’s ghost still haunts the home, telling unwanted visitors to “Get Out!”

8. North Carolina

Edward Teach, better known as the famous pirate Blackbeard, reportedly haunts a cove on Ocracoke Island on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. After his capture, Blackbeard was beheaded and his head was displayed on a British ship. His body was thrown to the sea.

An area known as Teach’s Hole is known to be haunted by a headless body splashing around in the water. Some other people say Blackbeard haunts the area with a lantern, searching for his lost head.

9. Oregon

The Kuhn Cinema in Lebanon, Oregon has been around since 1936. Locals say that a teenager once plummeted to her death from the theater’s second balcony and has haunted the joint ever since. Some even say that her image occasionally flickers onto the screen, terrifying viewers. Keep ahold of that popcorn.

10. Wisconsin

There’s something very strange happening at Riverside Cemetery in Appleton. The tombstone of a woman named Kate “Kitty” Blood is said to ooze, you guessed it, blood. One rumor says that Blood was murdered by her husband. Another says that she was a witch.

The truth is that Blood died from tuberculosis at the age of 23. But her creepy name and the isolated location of her tombstone has become part of the local lore in Appleton.

Here Are 10 of the Spookiest Ghost Stories from the United States

So, here are 10 of the spookiest ghost stories from different parts of the U.S.

1. Alaska

The Golden North Hotel in Skagway is the setting for Alaska’s creepiest ghost tale. Legend has it that a woman named Mary moved into the hotel during the Klondike Gold Rush with her fiancé, a man who went by the moniker “Klondike Ike.”

Ike set off to prospect gold and find fame and fortune, but he never returned from the rugged Alaskan wilderness. Mary locked herself in her hotel room and waited for her beau. Eventually, hotel workers broke down Mary’s door and found her dead in the room wearing her wedding dress. The story goes that “Scary Mary” still roams the halls, occasionally checking in on hotel guests to make sure Ike isn’t bedding down with anyone else.

2. California

What place beside the infamous Alcatraz prison would make this list for California? The foreboding island prison in San Francisco Bay operated from 1934-1963 and housed the likes of Al Capone and James “Whitey” Bulger behind its walls.

The most famous ghost to roam Alcatraz’s hallowed grounds is a prisoner who once called cell 14D his home. Apparently, the prisoner screamed all night, claiming that a ghastly creature with glowing eyes was trying to kill him. The guards ignored his cries, and the next morning the inmate was found strangled to death. A doctor said the injuries could not have been self-inflicted and that the man had strange wounds on his neck.

The sand hills surrounding Hutchinson are known to be creepy as hell and for good reason: a creature known as the Hamburger Man is rumored to haunt the hills, looking for a fresh kill.

Rumor has it that the local legend is only partially man or perhaps survived a horrific accident and is mutilated beyond belief. One thing is for certain: the Hamburger Man is said to carry a large knife and he likes to abduct people and eat them for dinner. Chew on that one for a little while…

4. Georgia

Lake Lanier in Georgia is said by locals to be cursed. The Army Corps of Engineers flooded nearly 60 square miles of homes, farmland, and businesses in the 1950s to create the large lake. Cemeteries were relocated to accommodate the project.

Freak accidents and mysterious drownings have plagued the lake and some people who have almost died in the waters have described being pulled underneath by a phantom force.

5. Idaho

The spooky Old Idaho Penitentiary operated from 1872-1973 and housed more than 13,000 prisoners over 100 years. One of the most notorious inmates to call the jail home was Raymond Allen Snowden, who was known as “Idaho’s Jack the Ripper.”

Snowden was executed in the jail in 1957 and died a slow, painful death. His neck didn’t break when the rope dropped, and it took 15 minutes for Snowden to suffocate. It’s rumored that the killer haunts the premises. Visitors to the jail have described hearing strange sounds and voices and being overcome by extreme sadness.

Growing up near Chicago, I learned about the story of Resurrection Mary at a young age…and it always haunted me. The legend of the ghost says that during the Great Depression, a young woman named Mary went a dance hall near Chicago. Mary got into an argument with her boyfriend and decided to walk home along Archer Avenue, where she was killed by a hit-and-run driver.

Mary was buried in nearby Resurrection Cemetery and generations of Chicagoans have reported seeing a young girl in a white dress hitchhiking along Archer Avenue late at night. Sometimes she’s even picked up but disappears from the back seat before reaching her final destination: Resurrection Cemetery.

7. Colorado

The Buffalo Rose Saloon in Golden is said to be haunted by a young girl who drowned in a swimming pool in the saloon’s basement in the 1920s. The spirit of the girl is said to still roam the hallways and skip up and down stairs.

An employee who works nights at the bar described the basement where the pool was located as “very bad. Sometimes you can’t go [down] there.”

8. Louisiana

The swampy lands of Louisiana are ripe for ghost stories. One legend comes from the state’s Cajun communities and centers around cauchemar: witches that arrive at night, immobilize people in their beds, and ride them like horses. Seriously. Think sleep paralysis but way more terrifying.

Even if a person attempts to scream while being attacked by a cauchemar, it’s no use: the scream can never escape someone’s throat. People have reported having marks and bruises from where a cauchemar beats them a whip. Creepy indeed.

The Palmer House Hotel in Sauk Centre attracts ghost hunters from all over the country. A prostitute named Lucy was rumored to have worked in a brothel where the hotel now stands.

Lucy and other women died in a tragic fire at the brothel, and Lucy is not happy with men in the afterlife. So she’s taken to haunting the Palmer House, naturally. Lucy is known to slam doors and make the temperature drop drastically when a man is present. Apparently, Room 17 is her favorite haunt.

We already covered Resurrection Mary, but another creepy hitchhiker from haunted lore is the Phantom Hitchhiker of Black Horse Lake. If you happen to drive along Highway 87, you might see a Native American man wearing a jean jacket appear out of nowhere and smash into your windshield.

Locals say the man died when he was hit by a car and has been reenacting the traumatic scene ever since. Keep your eyes peeled…
