One scary nice guy story could be about a guy who always seemed overly friendly. He would constantly offer to help a female neighbor with tasks around her house.

There was a story in a small town. A hunter died mysteriously in the woods. Ever since, hikers claim that when they pass by the spot where he was found, they sometimes hear what seems like the click of a trigger in the stillness of the forest.

In a small village during the Day of the Dead, a young boy was walking home alone. He passed by an old abandoned house that was said to be haunted. As he got closer, he saw a faint glow coming from inside. Curious, he peeked in and saw a skeleton sitting at a table as if having a meal. The skeleton then slowly turned its head towards the boy, and the boy ran all the way home, screaming. He never walked past that house again.
