What if the scariest thing you've ever seen as a child never left—and only showed herself when you were most vulnerable? When he was just 12, he saw her: a woman with flowing black hair, hollow eyes, and a tattered gray dress, hovering above him in the pitch-black basement of his home. Frozen in fear, he buried himself under the sheets, praying she’d go away. But she didn’t. Over the years, this terrifying entity—what he could only describe as a banshee—appeared again and again, not just to him, but to others in the family. Who was the woman in the basement? Why did she stay? And what did she want? If you have a Grave Confession, Call it in 24/7 at 1-888-GHOST-13 (1-888-446-7813) Subscribe to get all of our true ghost stories EVERY DAY!

After more than 15 quiet years in the same house, something suddenly changed during one woman’s senior year of high school.

Her mother, too, began hearing disturbing sounds, while her new puppy, years later, started growling at things unseen in the darkness.
