The scariest rural ghost story I've ever heard was one called the Legend of the White Snake. The story was about the love story between the White Lady and Xu Xian, but one night, Xu Xian was bewitched by a white snake and eventually turned into a frog. He couldn't get rid of the curse and lived in the frog's world until he finally realized and saved the White Lady. This story tells us that sometimes love may make us make the wrong decision, and our ultimate fate may also be affected by external factors. Although the ending of this story is tragic, it also reminds us to pay attention to our decisions and actions to avoid unnecessary harm.

One day, the daughter saw a figure in white in the attic. They tried to leave, but the doors and windows would not open. Eventually, they called a priest who performed an exorcism, but the priest was thrown down the stairs. They managed to escape in the end, but they never fully recovered from the horror.
A scary war time story is that of the civilians in Stalingrad. During the battle, they were trapped in the city. There was no food, no heat, and constant shelling. People were dying in the streets, and families were torn apart. The desperation and the inhumane conditions they faced were truly the stuff of nightmares. The city became a hell on earth, and the civilians had to endure so much just to survive.

For example, the hairworm can make its cricket host jump into water, which is suicidal for the cricket but necessary for the hairworm to reproduce. A scary story?

There's this story about a haunted theater. An actress died during a performance on that stage many decades ago. Since then, actors and crew members have reported all sorts of strange happenings. Lights would flicker on and off during rehearsals, and sometimes you could hear the sound of a woman singing when no one was there. I once worked backstage at that theater for a short time. One day, I was alone in the dressing room, and I felt a cold breeze brush past me. I quickly left the room, thinking it might be the ghost of that actress.

There's a story where a pilot saw a handprint on the windshield that wouldn't go away. It was a small handprint, as if a child had put their hand there.

The driver was shocked and couldn't explain what had happened.
