About CreepyHQ
At CreepyHQ, we are not mere bystanders; we are seekers of the unknown. Delving into the darker corners of history, folklore and fiction, we gather the stories that send shivers down your spine and stay with you after the lights go out.
CreepyHQ brings together horror stories, paranormal mysteries, unusual encounters, haunted places and horror entertainment in one place. It is written for people who enjoy being a little unsettled: the late-night reader looking for one more story, the traveller curious about the legend behind an abandoned building, and the film fan searching for something to watch on Halloween.
Exploring the unknown
Much of what we cover sits somewhere between history, folklore and rumour: the figure said to walk a castle corridor, the village that emptied overnight, the photograph nobody can quite explain. We are interested in why these accounts endure, how they spread and what they reveal about the places and people behind them.
Reports of hauntings and unexplained events are shared here as stories, testimony and legend, not as established fact. Enjoy them with the same healthy scepticism we bring to writing them.
Horror stories and experiences
Our horror stories range from short fiction and creepypasta to longer tales told in the first person. You will find encounters told as real-life experiences, stories from soldiers and war zones, audio stories and animated horror flicks. Every story is published as entertainment, whatever its narrator claims.
Haunted places and paranormal mysteries
A large part of the site is a guide to reportedly haunted places around the world, country by country, alongside articles on individual haunted locations. Each guide gathers the legends attached to castles, hospitals, prisons, forests and forgotten towns, together with the history that gave rise to them.
Beyond specific places, the CreepyHQ blog looks at unsolved cases, urban legends, cursed objects and other mysteries that never quite went away.
Horror movies, videos and entertainment
For horror on screen, our horror movie articles include watch lists, recommendations and features on classic and recent films. We also write about horror games and the Halloween season. The videos section collects short clips of strange sightings and unexplained moments, grouped by theme: aliens, ghosts, the unexplained and more.
Interactive horror tools
CreepyHQ also offers free horror tools for writers, creators and anyone in the mood for a scare: generators for story prompts, titles and names, photo effects such as VHS and night vision, ambient soundscapes, quizzes and short interactive games. They run in your browser, and the photos and recordings you use with them stay on your device. You can also keep an eye on the countdown to Halloween.
