Be. Scared

A young woman studying abroad accepts help from a stranger she meets in a repair shop—housing, a job, a sense of safety in an unfamiliar place. But something feels wrong. His behavior shifts. The comments turn disturbing. The attention won’t stop. She leaves before things go too far. Months later, she recognizes his face on the news... Follow Be. Busta on Insta: @Be.

It’s 2 a.m. when a young man jolts awake in his bed. Still groggy, he sits up, confused about what pulled him from sleep, until he notices a strange figure standing motionless near his wardrobe, half-swallowed by the darkness. He calls out to his roommate. The figure slowly turns to face him. Its eyes are hollow, empty of anything human. And in that moment, he realizes the truth: it isn’t his room...

A young person living alone in a quiet duplex is plagued by recurring dreams—intrusive, vivid, and wrong. Each night, a humanoid figure appears, watching, whispering the same message: you don’t belong here. He begins waking with unexplained chest pain… and deep, deliberate scratches carved into his skin. Sleep becomes something to fear. And then one night, the dreams stop—because whatever was haun...

A group of kids went camping and watched a strange object rip across the night sky at an impossible speed, filling the air with a low, electric buzz.

Two young hunters vanish into the woods for a week-long trip. By nightfall, the forest starts making sounds it shouldn’t — shrieking from the treeline, a baby crying in the dark, low moans rolling off the cliffs. Then it begins to mimic one of them...

A five-year-old girl, trapped in a violent home, hides from her father behind a dresser. That’s when it first appears — a strange figure that visits only on the worst nights.

After a brutal long shift, a young doctor collapses into the top bunk he still shares with his brother. Hours later—around 5 a.m.—he wakes with that prickling sense of being watched. At the foot of the lower bunk sits his brother’s girlfriend… or something wearing her face. Perfectly still. Unblinking. Predatory in its silence. But when he asks his brother the next morning what time she left, the...

On a grey fall morning, a young mom and her toddler are locked out of their house, waiting for her fiancé to return with the spare key. As they wait, a strange man begins circling the neighborhood, his gaze fixed on them with unsettling intensity. Without warning, he disappears behind a thick tree. Moments later, he reappears, staring directly at them—this time, holding a gleaming machete... Follo...

Two explorers head beneath the Cornwall cliffs, expecting a quiet day exploring abandoned mine tunnels. But the deeper they go, the heavier the air becomes—until their gas detector slams to 100%, oxygen collapses, and a crushing pressure settles over them like the tunnels themselves are tightening. Then comes the sound. A harsh metal scrape, like chains dragged slowly across rock. Once… then again...

A lone mapper ventures into the misty moors of rural England, tracing long-forgotten parish boundaries and sleeping in a tent under the fading summer light. But one evening, he discovers a weather-worn standing stone near the woods—surrounded by strange offerings: rusted hair clips, blackened coins, ribbons faded with time. That night, under a drizzling sky, something terrifying approaches his cam...

A solo hunting trip north of Stillwater Creek was supposed to be quiet — peaceful, even. The forest stood still. But immediately, something felt… off. Then came the sound of footsteps. Not his own. He realized: he wasn’t the only one stalking the woods that day. He thought he came to hunt — but ended up being hunted... Follow Be. Busta on Insta: @Be.

Somewhere along the Pacific Crest Trail, a solo hiker found himself far from anyone—or so he thought. Out of the treeline stepped an old man: tall, wiry, with shock-white hair and a hollow stare. He asked, almost too softly, “Are you alone out here?” The hiker lied, saying he was traveling with a group. But the man only smiled and began following, matching his every step as the path narrowed. Then...

It started as an innocent mix-up — a delivery to the wrong house on a quiet summer afternoon. A 16-year-old living on the edge of a suburban town answered the door to find a man holding a pizza he hadn’t ordered. Harmless enough… until the same man came back weeks later with the same excuse: “They messed up the order again.” Over the months, the deliveries continued — friendly smiles, free pizza,...

In the fall of the 1970s, deep in rural Kansas, six children waited each night for their mother to return home from work. One cold October evening, they heard her familiar voice call out from the driveway—soft, tired, and unmistakably hers. Four of the youngest ran outside to help carry in the groceries, but when they reached the end of the drive, the road was empty. Their mother was nowhere in si...

What was supposed to be a quiet three-day camping trip turned into a nightmare. Deep in the woods—along a stretch of river that doesn’t appear on most maps—a man began to hear faint footsteps near the water each night. Then came the whispers. They grew louder, calling his name from the darkness. On the final night, the river itself began to churn, mist rising as four human-shaped figures appeared...

When a violent storm knocks out a remote lighthouse, a repairman is forced to spend the night inside its decaying walls. But as the fog thickens, strange shapes begin to move in the darkness—human-like, but wrong. Footprints lead to the door, objects shift on their own, and footsteps echo up the spiral stairs. Each night, the figures grow bolder, pressing against the windows, lurking in the lanter...

Deep in the forest, a man stumbled upon an unmarked cave—its mouth hidden, waiting. As he ventured inside, a low murmur rose from the walls, growing louder with each step. Shadows stretched unnaturally long, twisting into thin figures that seemed to follow his every move. The whispers only stirred when he walked, falling silent the moment he froze, their vibration crawling up through his chest. Th...

A 20-year-old café worker thought she was finishing just another late shift in a busy shopping district. But when a strange man walked in minutes before closing — muttering, laughing to himself, and drinking hard liquor from a hidden bottle — the night took a turn. After thanking her with a candy bar that looked cut open and resealed, the atmosphere shifted from odd to terrifying. Something heavy...

A teenager and his dad crash at his dad’s coworker’s house for a few weeks—but the spare room he’s given feels... wrong. Every night, he dreamed that a misty, faceless figure appeared in the corner of the room, repeating one question over and over: “Where is Caleb?” He barely sleeps. Until one afternoon, the homeowner finally asks why he’s avoiding the room—and when he tells her, her face goes pal...

A solo hiker ventures into the woods behind his small-town home for a five-day trek—but things take a dark turn by day two. The forest goes dead silent. He finds strange symbols made of feathers, a footprint identical to his own, and hears a whistle at 3 a.m. that mimics him exactly. After days of unsettling encounters, he makes it home—only to face something even more terrifying. Late one night:...

A quiet tram stop. A porcelain-skinned woman. And a stare that felt like it cut through the soul. While visiting his cousin in Portsmouth, one man had a chilling encounter that still haunts him to this day. It started with a glance from a pale stranger who seemed frozen in place — until she wasn’t. Her glassy grey eyes locked onto his, her smile unblinking… and then she was closer. Rocking. Hummin...

A lifelong nurse always had the ability to sense spirits—but over the years, she learned to tune them out. That is, until one chilling night on the hospital’s graveyard shift... While suctioning a patient’s airway, she spotted a ghostly figure in a hospital gown with long white hair standing at the foot of the bed. Over the next few days, the same apparition appeared—peeking through curtains, ling...

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 cor...

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, th...

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 experi...
