Water. Water is the cornerstone of life. It has an effect on almost every activity in everyday life. Without it, civilisation would cease to function. In short, we cannot live without water. Two days ago, we were forced to begin doing just that.

I was adopted. I never knew my real mother; rather, I knew her at one time but I left her side when I was too little to be able to remember. I loved my adopted family though. They were so kind to me. I ate well, I lived in a warm and comfortable house, and I got to stay up pretty late. Everything changed on a horrible Wednesday night.

Does anyone remember an old PC game from the early 1990s called "Mr. Mix''? Most children who played the game reported having vivid nightmares of Mr. Mix speaking to them in a quiet, raspy voice and threatening them to keep quiet about something. However, none of them could remember exactly what that was..

Before you listen to this. Make sure you are alone. If you are in a room. Close the door. If you are by a window. Look outside and make sure there is no one there. The only way others should know about this story is by listening to it themselves...

Hello. I’m recording this as a last cry for help. I’m trapped inside the ventilation system of a school, together with ... something. Something horrific, the stuff of nightmares.

And then, there's another game you can play. I stumbled across this one completely by chance. I won't tell you where I discovered it, you'll just have to take my word. Suffice to say through a bit of digging I found a card game that you can play with a spirit. The game doesn't really have a name, though I referred to as “The Wager Game”.

Most people who have ever worked the nightshift will tell you it’s creepy work. You walk up and down the corridors of wherever you are. Your instincts working overtime, setting your mind on edge. We’re hardwired to fear the night. A time for helplessness. A time in which we slide down the food chain. Our bodies craving rest. Our senses ill-equipped to cope with the dark...

Nothing is as terrifying as the sounds we hear in the dark. The slow creak of a door opening late at night... or a whisper in a room when you thought you were alone... or a distant scream in the wind. One noise at the wrong time or place can scare us for days. Page 2 of 2 Each episode of I HEAR FEAR plunges the listener into a tale inspired by real events, from a deadly dance party to a cursed film set. Join host and two-time Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan for six immersive stories designed to jangle your nerves and haunt your dreams. Listen – if you dare. Only on Amazon Music.

 The companies don’t need to use them for anything, their money comes from elsewhere. To turn them into anything else would come at a high price and to sell them on would mean losing an asset which is costing them nothing and could be worth a great deal more in the future. So they just sit there. Slowly rotting. Or at least they would, if it wasn’t for me.

It was August 3 2009, and my family had just moved into this colonial house originally built in the early 1900s.After a few weeks, I grew familiar with the area and decided to do some exploring of the house. There was nothing which I really paid attention to. The only thing that really caught my eye was a hidden door I had found in the kitchen...

What if you come across something that appears human but somehow inhuman. That’s what today’s story addresses. It is up to you whether you believe this person came across a potentially dangerous urban legend or if it’s the thoughts of an overactive imagination.

Puppy. This can be heard from my 4-year-old daughter every morning. It gets annoying at times, especially when she wakes up at 5am. But it’s cute to see how much she adores her tiny brown teddy bear.

In 1978, Rodney Alcala won a date on the popular TV show, The Dating Game. What no one knew was that he was a prolific serial killer in the middle of a cross-country murder spree. In this six-part series, co-hosts Tracy Pattin (Hollywood & Crime) and Stephen Lang (Avatar, Don’t Breathe) take listeners on an unbelievable journey into Alcala’s twisting secret life. He hid behind normal jobs as a typesetter at a prominent newspaper and a summer camp counselor. How did this predatory monster fool employers, prison psychiatrists, and parole boards — all while committing heinous crimes from coast to coast? And how did a one-time appearance as a game show contestant help lead to his capture? From the makers of Dirty John, Dr. Death, and Young Charlie, learn the story of the most famous serial killer you’ve never heard of - The Dating Game Killer.

In an instant the light enveloped the entire room. My bedroom was wiped away by a blast of bright blinding white. All went silent, all ceased to exist, the smell of McDonalds takeout and sweat dispersed into the abyss. For a moment I was stuck in a purgatory of nothingness. I did not stay long....

I was awake. I don’t remember falling asleep and I’m not really sure how I got into bed. But I was awake now. There was a very distant ringing in my ears. Sort of like the aftermath of a concussive blast that makes you deaf. Only this ringing seemed far off inside my head. Must have had a rough night, I suppose. But honestly, I really couldn’t remember what happened last night. Or any night for that matter.
