Sometimes Thanksgiving isn't about giving thanks, it's about surviving the feast. Beneath the warmth of family gatherings and traditions lurks something darker: family secrets, ancient curses, and harvests that should’ve stayed buried. It’s a warning to us all that even a holiday of gratitude can hide cruel intentions. So, grab a seat at the table… but beware of what’s being served. First, an uninvited guest Followed by a cry for help Finally in our last story, a house of death Subscribe: https://bit.ly/subSNARLED Watch the latest: https://youtube.com/watch?playlist&list=PLlt49G0M7dfhhFe79kdPucjYzWv4CK8H1&index=1 Follow us EVERYWHERE: https://facebook.com/watchsomethingscary/ https://facebook.com/getsnarled/ https://instagram.com/wearesnarled/ https://twitter.com/wearesnarled Follow Blair: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blairbathory Instagram: https://instagram.com/blairbathory/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/blairbathory1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/blairbathory Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/BlairBathory About SNARLED: Your home for scary stories, from urban legends to true tales of murder, mystery and the unknown.

Chapter 2: What family secrets are revealed in the first story?
And a voice I'll never forget. Have you ever felt an unexplainable chill or presence in a seemingly empty space? How would you feel if a child suddenly started talking about a presence you couldn't see? Not all family secrets stay buried, some linger. Waiting for the right night to return, like in this story inspired by Reba.
One Thanksgiving, we decided to spend the holiday at our uncle's house. He lived alone in a massive old house, almost like a mansion, surrounded by strange, luxurious artifacts that made the place feel like a haunted museum. Even the drive up was creepy, with flickering lights across the yard and an occasional darkened car passing by, moving slowly, almost watching. But we didn't mind.
We were determined to have a good time, no matter how unsettling the house felt. When we arrived, my uncle seemed out of sorts. He looked different, not just older, but somehow haunted. His skin was pale, sickly looking, and his eyes seemed hollow, as if something had drained the life out of him. When he finally spoke, his voice was a hoarse whisper.
Be in bed by ten, he said, his eyes darting around.
No noise after eleven, and you must not be awake after midnight.
Dann, kurz nach 11 Uhr, hörte ich einen hohen Sturz in der Halle. Ich flog, mein Herz schmerzte, um zu hören. Der Krieg von Fußgängen folgte, sehr hoch in die Halle. Ich schlug zu meiner Tür und schlug sie öffnen. In der dünnen Licht, konnte ich meinen Onkel ausmachen, der nach dem Ende der Halle stürzte, etwas unter seinem Atem zu muttern.
Er schlug ein Bildschirm über und als er es wieder hochheb, sah ich, dass seine Hände mit etwas Schmerzem verbreitet waren. Mein Stomach drohte. Blut. I whispered, barely audible. He turned toward me and I saw his face fully for the first time. His eyes were empty, milky white, as if they'd been drained of anything human.
Blood trickled from the corners of his eyes, thick and dark, staining his cheeks. He opened his mouth, but the only sound that escaped was a low, raspy moan, something raw and otherworldly. Terror sieht mich. Ich habe die Tür geschlagen, bin unter den Koffern gesprungen und habe meine Augen gespürt, als ob es nur ein Traum war. Minutes tickt by, each one stretching painfully long.
Then I heard it, a faint creak, the unmistakable sound of my door slowly opening. My heart froze as a shadow drifted into the room. The air grew colder, prickling my skin, and a raspy breathing filled the silence. My bed began to shake, trembling as if someone were pressing down on it. I bit back a scream.
