We were woken up to these strange noises. They start at timestamp 00:56:53 (not the crickets!). The attached video was captured on our doorbell camera. The microphone is facing the opposite direction from which the noises were originating, so there's a little bit of distortion/reverb. They continued on for another minute or two, but the dog was barking right near the doorbell which gets very loud, so I cut it right after he starts up.

I've lived in the woods of central New England for ~5 years and I've been an outdoorsman my whole life. I've heard foxes screaming like a wounded woman, I've heard fishers wailing like banshees. I've heard coyotes howling, barking, and yipping and I've heard bucks in rut. I've never heard anything like this before.

You'll probably need to turn the volume up a bit. I promise there's no jump scare; just the dog barking at the end.

What is it‽

Nightmares

they've been broken up for 5 months (only dated a month) and they haven't spoken since. he's blocked on everything and he's been trying to contact her on every platform in existence he's 18 and she's 17

I found this really weird image on a thumbnail of a YouTube video, I skipped through the video and found nothing about the image, I put it through google lens and found it posted on Pinterest with post titles of various languages and also some random Japanese website, does anyone know where does this come from?

I'm looking for recs of creepy books to read this month whatcha got?

I noticed this bruise on my leg a few days ago, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. When I checked it more carefully today, I vaguely remembered waking up a few days ago after feeling as though someone was grabbing or squeezing my leg. I also remember feeling someone’s finger touching my leg, and I remember experiencing something similar in a dream around that time.
The strange thing is that I genuinely don’t remember hitting my leg against anything. If I had knocked it against something, I feel like I would remember it. The bruise also doesn’t seem to be fading or healing much, although it’s been a few days.
I’m not claiming that someone actually touched me while I was asleep, because I know dreams and physical sensations can sometimes overlap. I’m just trying to understand what could have caused this, especially since I can’t recall any injury.

Edit: Thank you for suggesting the possible reasons. I should’ve probably figured it out before posting. I’d lean more towards the possibility that I squeezed my leg too hard or that it was a wasp sting, since there are quite a few bees and wasps around here. I’ll get it checked at the ER and see what I can do to help it heal!

Kinda hard to see, but I saw this Mitch McConnell-looking old man driving a car with these stickers on it. I looked more closely, and there was this mannequin/fake human/whatever in the back seat by itself, dressed in what seemed to be some sort of military outfit.

Estou pensando em fazer um analog Horror do folclore. Da certo ou não?
