Before us, they ruled. Banished to darkness. Sealed away for eternity. But in the ice of Antarctica, we found their prison. And the last lock… is failing. They’re coming back.

It began with a joke.... A teacher late for class. A missing student. No big deal… until one of them turned up dead.
Then came the whispers of glowing figures in the dark, and things pretending to be people we lost.
We thought it was just high school gossip. But something was out there… and it wanted more than attention.

This is the first volume of true scary stories about people recounting their horrific experiences on first dates.

First series of disturbing neighbor horror stories. If you have a TRUE personal story you'd like to see featured, please send it to: MrLiminalStories@gmail.com

We’ve been stuck in traffic for eight hours outside of Lewiston, Maine. There’s no warning, no explanation, just walls going up, armed guards walking car to car, and anyone who tries to leave… disappears. At first I thought it was an accident. Then I saw the ambulances. Then the tanks. Whatever’s happening here, it isn’t random. They planned this. And now I think they’re here for us.

I took a night shift job at a gas station. They gave me 8 rules to follow, and warned me not to break them. It seemed strange at first… until I realized the rules were the only thing keeping me safe.

It was supposed to be an ordinary snowstorm. A day off classes, empty streets, and whiteout conditions. But then the thunder started. We laughed it off at first, thundersnow isn’t common, but it happens.


What followed wasn’t weather. I’ve told this story before, and no one ever really believes me. All I know is this: when you hear thunder in a snowstorm… don’t stop, don’t look back, and whatever you do... don’t assume you’re alone.

I took a simple one-night job at a local cemetery. The pay was unbelievable.
All I had to do was show up… and follow a few rules.

They told me it was a promotion, a transfer to a department I’d never heard of. No details, just a location, a job title, and a quiet warning: don’t ask too many questions. I should’ve listened. 
There are things we’re not meant to know… and I was trained to forget them.

I can freeze time. It was always my escape, my way to move unseen. For years, the world stood still when I wanted it to. But something else learned how to move through the frozen moments.I don’t know what it wants. All I know is the frozen world isn’t mine anymore.

Some rules exist for safety. Others exist because something wants you to break them. I took a night security job with 10 terrifying rules. Now I understand: they weren’t just guidelines... they were warnings.

We thought we were alone out there. We were wrong... I was dragged back into a secret I swore I’d leave buried, a mission erased from history, a warning burned into my mind. They didn’t just want to be left alone. They wanted access to us. And now they’re here...

I spent twelve years as a cop in a quiet town where nothing ever really happened. But one call still haunts me. We thought she was just another lonely old woman, crying wolf. We were wrong...There are things hiding in this world, not in shadows, but behind doors we should never open.

I used to think the woods were empty at night. That silence meant safety. That isolation meant peace. But the truth is, there are places where the rules break down, where nature isn’t blind, and something older is still watching. That night at the wind farm changed how I see everything: the dark, the silence, even myself. Some encounters don’t just scare you. They rearrange you...

The official report never told the full story. What we found in those woods wasn’t human, and it wasn’t the first time.

I travel solo. Off-grid. No trails, no neighbors, no noise. Just me, the woods, and my van. It’s the quiet that always drew me in. But last night, parked miles from anywhere… I wasn’t alone.
