scary stories

A lot of people have a fear of open water, and that fear kinda makes sense. Whether it's the isolation, the exposure to the elements, or the danger of unseen wild animals, it makes sense that people, especially sailors have creepy stories of things that happened at sea.

Surprisingly, a few of these people actually got real, concrete answers to the strange things they witnessed. The rest are just left to imagine why they saw some crazy unexplainable phenomenon. Most of the time the world makes sense. Then there's the other times.

The Satan story is just pure genius all around. 

Anyone else get a solid shiver down the spine while reading some of these? 

With more and more mainstream adaptations and references coming out relating to creepypastas, we thought it would be a great Halloween treat to round up the classics.
