I love watching creepy videos and reading scary stories, however, to tell the truth, it happens very rarely that I am genuinely unsettled. But, there’s something about some scary videos that freak me out the most — a shadow caught out of the corner of the eye, an eerie sound that comes out of nowhere, or a brief flash of something you wish you hadn’t seen — that’s what really gets to me.

Hand-picked and analyzed by yours truly, here are 15 scary videos currently terrifying viewers! Drenched in all the shades of frights, these creepy videos will tell a tale of overwhelming chills so haunting, you’ll find your psyche trapped in absolute panic, with no means of escape. No joke, this scary comp is full to the brim with overtones of frights. Watching this list of creepy videos will send you on an intense, twisty ride featuring terrifying frights that will give you nightmares for weeks to come — no two ways about it.

If watching some legitimately scary videos was on your mental to-do list for today, you’re at the right place! Still, I want to put it out there that this list of top 15 scary videos will begin building tension right out of the gate, and deliver balls-to-the-wall horror that is going to make your heart race uneasily. So, proceed at your own peril.

For this list of creepy videos, I have chosen to stay away from things like jump scares. Because honestly, I don’t consider them chilling enough to be included in this list. The way I see things, I believe that the most petrifying of frights stem from things that aren’t bound by the laws of nature: Stuff like unexplained phenomena, ghost encounters in a haunted house, paranormal incidents, and so on. The entries in this list of scary videos are full of them, and deliver nerve-racking frights that will shape your nightmares for life! Truly, these entries have stuck with me since I watched them for the first time. So, viewers be cautioned. What has been seen cannot be unseen.

I’d strongly suggest that you don’t watch these scary videos if you ever want to sleep with the lights off again. Seriously. These creepy videos are the very reason that, many times, I’ve found myself lying wide awake in the middle of the night with chills running up and down my spine at will. Tossing and turning in your bed while your mind fills you with fear by putting you through unimaginably scary scenarios that could happen the moment you close your eyes won’t be fun. I caution you. I’d call it absolutely delusional if you think you can handle watching these creepy videos more than once. Truthfully, you won’t just watch them… you’d have to survive them on the regular as the eeriness would creep up in your everyday life. So, proceed at your own peril, and use that big X button to close the tab whenever you feel like the frights are getting a bit out of hand. You have been warned.
