The Five True Scary Stories

1. Prom Date with a Serial Killer (Jeffrey Dahmer)

The episode opens with a deceptively normal prom night in 1978 Ohio, where 16-year-old Bridget Guyger goes with a nervous, awkward boy named Jeffrey. Their uncomfortable date ends with Jeffrey mysteriously leaving to get cheeseburgers and then being locked out of the prom. A week later, Bridget visits Jeffrey’s “house party” only to find a bizarre séance attempt.

Thirteen years later, Jeffrey is revealed to be the infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, caught after a hostage escape led police to his apartment filled with human remains and evidence of cannibalism. The story highlights the horrifying contrast between Dahmer’s seemingly normal facade and his monstrous crimes, including chilling details like acid poured into a victim’s head to control him.

2. The Faceless Girl on a Dark Florida Highway

In rural Florida, 16-year-old Misty Tasker and her anxious mother encounter a strange girl sitting alone by a desolate dirt highway at dusk. When they slow down to check on her, the girl remains eerily unresponsive, rocking back and forth with her knees tucked in.

After driving away and returning, the girl mysteriously disappears only to reappear miles ahead. Despite the mother’s hesitation and Misty’s panic, they stop and roll down the window—only for the mother to scream in horror, revealing the girl had no face, just a hollow void. The police find no trace of the girl afterward, leaving a haunting mystery of a ghostly roadside apparition.

3. Tinder Date Turns Deadly in Colorado

A 21-year-old rookie cop named Derek, recently heartbroken, tries online dating and meets a woman named Leah. Their first date to a remote park for stargazing quickly turns sinister when a large van and a suspicious “caretaker” block their path.

Derek confronts the man, but later the van returns, traps their car, and the caretaker demands Derek’s keys and wallet. Shockingly, Leah sides with the attacker, revealing she was setting Derek up. Derek draws his gun, calls 911, and the two assailants flee.

Police find the van filled with weapons and disturbing items, but the culprits vanish. Derek’s harrowing experience is a terrifying reminder of the dangers lurking behind online facades.

4. Goth Girls and a Cemetery Bonfire Murder

In the 1990s, goth best friends Rachel and Molly frequently hang out in a cemetery. One night, they decide to visit the cemetery alone and smell a bonfire nearby. Curious, they attempt to investigate but are hit with a putrid stench and retreat.

Suddenly, a man appears, illuminated by the fire, and begins chasing them. They barely escape to their car and flee. The next day, Rachel learns a woman was kidnapped and murdered at that very cemetery, with her body burned in a bonfire.

The girls realize they narrowly avoided becoming victims of a serial killer who was caught days later. The story blends teenage subculture with real horror, emphasizing the thin line between curiosity and danger.

5. The Weepy Voice Killer in Minnesota

On New Year’s Eve 1980, 20-year-old Karen Potac is attacked and left for dead after accepting a ride from a stranger. Over months, a series of brutal murders and attacks on women plague Minnesota, accompanied by eerie phone calls from a remorseful “Weepy Voice Killer.”

Despite scant evidence, police identify Paul Stefani, a man with a violent past and mental illness. After a failed attack on a woman who escapes, Stefani is finally caught following a self-inflicted injury call to 911. He receives a long prison sentence and later confesses to additional murders.

This story highlights the chilling pattern of a serial predator’s spree and the haunting voice recordings that terrified a community.
