4 TRUE Terrifying Christmas Horror Stories

so we were having our Christmas Eve dinner turkey stuffing and other dishes that you would expect to get on Thanksgiving night we don't have a big family it was my grandparents and uncles from my mom's side of the family at the time we lived in a duplex with some guy and his girlfriend on the other side we never really saw them much strangely we had a door that connected our sides and no that's not something that most duplexes have it had a very unique kind of lock though it had to be unlocked from both sides to be opened and it could open in either direction I only saw it open once before the two moved in ever since the door had been locked at least on our side while we were sitting at the dinner table eating that doorknob to the door that separates the sides of our duplex twisted and turned before the lock would block it it was not accidental as it was going on for at least 10 seconds my dad got up and walked over to the door placed one hand on the lock and one hand on the doorknob he needs something there was no answer he unlocked our side of the door and swung it open their side of the duplex was completely pitch black it seemed as if nobody was home it was only about six o'clock and we were certain we saw them leaving earlier me and my dad went to check out the window and their car was gone to being good neighbors we assumed the worst that there may have been an intruder so me my dad and my uncle went to the other side to investigate we flipped on all the lights and checked every corner in every crevice of the small first floor then we heard a thud and a crack from upstairs it was pressure on the floorboards I was freaked out so I stayed behind while my dad and uncle ran upstairs I felt my heart skip a beat when a huge commotion erupted from upstairs before the scream from my uncle echoed across the duplex even to the other side as my whole family got up from the table now moments later my dad came rushing down with my uncle beside him with his hand covering his lower shoulder or chest area there was a stab wound we all hurried back to our side of the apartment and locked the door we dialed 911 simultaneously heard rapid stomping coming from the other side and then heavy banging and ramming into the door to the point where there were small chips and cracks forming we could hear the grunting and screaming of the manager rammed into the door my other uncle my dad each grabbed kitchen knives I arms myself as well they told all of us to stand back while they waited by the door thankfully the man on the other side gave up before the door gave in and we heard him exit out the front door we watched through the window and we all saw his face as he ran through the snow and turned to see us through the glass he took off in his black Honda Civic down the slushy roads it doesn't end there the following year the same neighbors still lived there and they seemed to be having a Christmas get-together with a few people by chance I was looking out my bedroom window being a sketchy snoop when I recognized one of their guests to be the same men who had allegedly broken into their side of the duplex when I told my dad he agreed and we approached them about it he denied any knowledge of what we said and even our neighbours defended him saying he was from out of state there was nothing we could do for proof but we knew one thing those neighbors for whatever reason set that up we moved out about a month later after our new grown fear of those neighbors became too much this happened when I was only 5 years old it was Christmas Eve night meaning I guess it was technically Christmas and I had awoken at probably 3 a.m. or something I walked downstairs to the living room out of my little boy curiosity to see if Santa had delivered any presents yet the tree was full of presents underneath already I was so happy Santa had come already but what was this there was someone in the kitchen going through the fridge I remember stepping into the kitchen and seeing a really tall man going through the fridge chugging a milk carton when he spotted me he put the carton back in the fridge and shut the door he then put his fingers on his lips to tell me to be quiet are you Santa I asked him yes I am he told me quietly he walked past me patted me on the head and stepped into the living room next to the tree I don't know what I was thinking even at five years old as he wasn't wearing anything even resembling Santa he looked around at all the gifts I thanked him for all the presents as he began picking up the bigger boxes I remember being confused and I'm pretty sure I asked him why he was doing what he was doing but I don't remember exactly what he said I believe it was along the lines of just replacing the gifts with better ones in my sled I believed whatever he said though he walks out the back door with three boxes came back momentarily to grab more then left once again he came back in and patted me on the back and told me not to tell my parents that I saw him I smiled and agreed and he took off with the boxes I waited for him to come back with the replacement gifts but he never did I eventually went up to tell my parents despite what he said when my parents realized I wasn't joking they sat up and shocked and fear and ran past me downstairs when they saw half the presents were gone in the back door was left wide open my mom screamed like a deranged person I remember my parents were practically scolding me demanding for me to describe the person who entered our house of course being five years old the description I gave was anything but useful all I probably told them was that he was tall it's been almost 15 years now though and at this point for me being that I was only five years old it's nothing but a story to tell rather than a bad memory at all did you ever used to have a fear of those guys who would dress up a Santa Claus in the mall or at Christmas parties up until the age of about eight I certainly did I think I was six or seven years old when me and my mom were walking through the mall with all the Christmas festivities and decorations up festive bands playing jingle bells a giant tree in the center of the mall and of course a mall Santa sitting in a chair covered by green blankets there was a small line of kids and parents waiting to sit on the Santa's lap maybe two or three kids my mom insisted I sat on his lap normally it would be the other way around the kid begging the parent to sit on the lap but she knew how shy I was there wasn't anyone by the mall Santa sighed like one of those people who calls the next child up it was just him when I sat on the strangers lap he grabbed me by the chest and said softly in my ear what do you want for Christmas I think I said a gameboy advance he left and assured me I would receive one then for whatever reason my mom walked up to the Santa and said something quietly to him he chuckled in response to whatever she said and then said no problem my mom told me to wait there by the Santa for a few minutes until she came back at this point there were no more kids waiting to sit on his lap so his attention was directed at me he told me to come over and sit on his lap again I somehow obeyed despite my fear of Santa Claus when I sat on his lap he pulled me closer to him so that my back was leaning on him when I think back on this moment now it's all the more painful and creepy he then whispered in my ear that he had a gameboy advance outside by his sled and if I followed him I would get it right now and wouldn't have to wait until Christmas my fear suddenly turned to excitement as I believed him we both stepped off the chair and I followed him down one of the exit hallways but halfway through he stopped and told me we should take a bathroom break first we stepped into the bathroom and he quickly locked the door I turned and looked at him as he looked at me but before anything else could happen there was a frantic banging at the door somebody on the other side was yelling to open up the Santa opened the door and a man pulled him out and shoved him the man then escorted me back to the center of the mall asking me where my mom went I watched as a fake Santa casually walked out the exit door and out of my sight when my mom came back the man explained everything I'm pretty sure he was watching the whole time so he and my mom messed around to see if the mall hired any mall Santas for the day they did not whoever that was was just a pervert dressed as Santa to get kids to sit on his lap and possibly wait for a perfect opportunity to snatch one just like he almost did me this story took place about five years ago on Christmas Eve night it was around 1:00 in the morning and I had just finished placing presents under the tree I went upstairs to brush up and everything then came back downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water before bed my son Jake who was four at the time was standing by the stairs leading to the basement I asked him what he was doing up so late he pointed down the stairs and said Santa I picked him up and carried him back to his room I took a glass of water and went to bed I woke up around an hour later to my son running down the hall outside my room I sighed and got out of bed as I was going down the stairs I saw Jake by the tree looking at presents then he ran past me into the basement stairs again he pointed down the stairs again this time I looked down the stairwell and my heart dropped as I saw a black figure sitting on the bottom step I almost screamed but I somehow held it in I pulled my son quietly away from the basement door and closer to the front door of the house I moved my hand away from my son's mouth to reach for the lock and the doorknob I tried to pull the door open as quietly as possible but it was pointless the squeaky hinges led out the usual ear piercing screeches and I cringed my mouth and eyes as I did suddenly there were heavy stops coming from up the basement stairs I screamed and pushed open the storm door and practically threw Jake outside I shut both doors behind us and we ran to the neighbor's house I rang the doorbell as fast as possible probably thirty times before they answered after that we went inside and stayed there and waited for the police whoever that person was was gone though as determined after the police conducted a thorough investigation of the house I ended up lying to Jake telling him that actually was Santa Claus but a few years later he remembered the incident and became a little more wise to what actually happened
