Maybe we've seen a few too many scary movies involving young children with a knack for speaking to ghosts, but we definitely think this dad needs to pack up his belongings and leave his apartment forever. Also, giving away that mirror may be a necessary precaution, unless he wants his toddler to stay in touch with the undead.

Lydia Keating is a master storyteller and makeup guru who shares various scary stories in several parts. This one, a three-part story which ends on YouTube, tells the story of her and her friends having a sleepover at her friend's house, which is allegedly haunted. It's pretty terrifying, especially for those of us who loved a good scary movie sleepover in the late 2000s.

Urban legends from each of the 50 states
TikTok user Heather Hansen did a several-part series on her TikTok page, which is comprised of scary stories from each U.S. state. The story she tells from Texas about "the candy lady," which we've posted above, is probably going to deter you from making a trip to the Lone Star state anytime soon. Yee-haw.

If Paranormal Activity scared you beyond belief, this several-part series will definitely blow your mind. TikTok user austinvro tells the story of a visually impaired woman who lives with her father in a creepy old house. To her father's dismay, she starts speaking to ghosts, and after a medical incident, she finds out from paramedics that her father has been dead for the last six years. *Cue spooky ghost sounds.*
In case you needed another reason to listen to your parents...

TikTok user icutyolawnduhh is also a talented makeup guru with an affinity for telling scary stories, and in the one above, she tells the story of a father-son duo who works at a gas station together. The son is approached by a woman who asks for a ride, and the dad tells him not to do so because he has a bad feeling. A year later, the woman was on the news because she was apparently a serial killer guilty for murdering several men.
There are so many next-level storytellers on TikTok, so if you're looking to get spooked this season, we highly recommend following any and all of them. Sleep tight!
