Top Ghost Stories Truer Than ‘The Conjuring’

'The Conjuring' is the most recent when it comes to exciting horror films that come with the appealing credit of 'based on a true story.' However, not all are aware that there are actually more ghost stories turned into movies more horrific than the story of The Warrens.

Here are some of those top ghost stories you can check out:

'Child's Play'

Remember Chucky the killer doll? Many may have thought of the movie as something of a horror comedy theme but it is actually based on a real life mannequin deemed to be possessed named as Robert. According to a popular legend, the doll was cursed by an angry Bahamian servant through voodoo. The said doll is kept at the Fort East Martello Museum behind a secure glass. Visitors of the museum are often advised to even ask permission first from Robert himself.

'The Entity'

This may be considered one of the most absurd stories under the horror genre that tells the story of a single mum sexually abused and possesses by a supernatural entity. Not many knew that it was actually based on a true life story of Doris Bither in Culver City, California. The paranormal experts who handled her case saw moving objects around the woman's home but they never witnessed the actual sexual assault.

'The Girl Next Door'

This is a film adaptation of a horrific novel written by Jack Ketchum. But the story is based on true events that transpired during the tragic murder of Sylvia Likens. Its story is about a girl kidnapped by her neighbour and was tortured and raped in a basement. The movie is extremely dark and disturbing that it can make the audience's stomach turn.

'The Haunting In Connecticut'

This film, which revolves around the story of the Campbell family, is based on the true story of Carmen Snedecker and family. They moved to Connecticut to stay close to their sick son who is getting cancer treatment. The son was the one who claimed the house is haunted but the parents only thought of him as suffering from schizophrenia. When they decided to get out of the house, Phillip had a cancer relapse.

'Wolf Creek'

This is a horror movie from Down Under which features the story of three backpackers in the outback of Australia. It is based on the true story of Ivan Milat, a real life serial killer who was the one behind the deaths of seven other backpackers. This is one bone chilling movie no one should miss.
