In 1987, Ruthie Mae McCoy, a resident of Chicago's housing projects, made a desperate 911 call claiming someone was breaking into her apartment through the bathroom mirror.

The call was real. The break-in was real. And the horror that followed exposed the terrifying flaws in public housing design and urban neglect.

Based on real events that inspired urban legends like Candyman, this slice of dark history is so much more than a spooky story. Adapted from They Came In Through the Bathroom Mirror: A Murder in the Projects by Steve Bogira, published by Chicago Reader in 1987. 

Two chilling tales from deep underground…

A group of friends sneaks into an abandoned party cave, only to find the entrance flooding behind them. With oxygen running out and no way to call for help, their night of fun turns into a fight for survival.

A volunteer firefighting crew ventures into a cave searching for missing children. Their cries echo from deeper inside…but the deeper they go, the more they realize something isn’t right.

If you’re afraid of the dark, tight spaces, or what might be waiting just beyond the light of your headlamp... these true caving horror stories just may stick to you like your own shadow. 

Part horror story, part sci-fi nightmare!

You thought you were alone... but are you ever?

• A online class becomes overwhelmingly eerie when one student stays on camera the entire time - never moving, just staring and smiling.

"It was just a normal walk… until she realized they weren’t alone."

In this chilling double feature, we explore two true scary stories about walking alone:

1️⃣ A woman and her loyal rescue dog enjoy peaceful late-night walks... until they suspect someone is following them. 2️⃣ A kid gets permission to leave school with a friend, but the other boy's uncle appears to pick him up - explaining that his friend is already waiting at home.

These aren't urban legends. They're real experiences shared by real people... and they just might make you think twice the next time you take a peaceful walk..

Keep your eyes open. And always trust your instincts.

Not all legends are fiction—some are terrifyingly real.

In this episode, we dive into chilling tales that blend folklore, fear, and the unexplainable. Hear the haunting story of a girl in a party dress who vanishes after a ride to the dance, a cursed painting with a glowing castle window and cryptic Latin message, a disturbing encounter with a hitchhiking old woman, and a house forever tainted by a deal with the devil. These are the stories that stay with you long after the episode ends.

These two terrifying true stories explore the eerie signs that someone... or something... might be where it doesn't belong.

First, a young woman housesitting notices strange disturbances…until a shocking phone call from the owner changes everything. Then, a man inherits a charming guest house from his late father, but when his son starts hearing noises in the night, the family begins to question if they’re sharing the space with more than just memories.

If you’ve ever felt watched when you were alone, these stories will haunt you.
