If you are not afraid of horror and the supernatural, we defy you to continue reading. You’d be amazed how chilly real life can be. Here is one story.

I got up at 3 a.m. to fetch some water. My son called out from his room, “Mom, can you turn off the light?” I didn’t think twice and turned it off. As I returned to bed, a realization struck me. My son was not home since he had gone camping.

I dashed to his room and froze when I realized it was empty. I was positive I heard my son’s voice—or at least someone speaking to me in a tired tone. When I told my husband, he laughed and said it was probably just in my imagination, but I swear the voice was real. That moment still worries me out.
