Once, during a power outage at a school, the students were locked in their classrooms for safety reasons. But in one classroom, the kids started seeing things in the dark. They thought there were ghosts. One kid even fainted from fear. It turned out it was just their overactive imaginations, but at that moment, it was a real horror story for them.
I heard a story where during a high school power outage, the science lab animals got loose. The hamsters and guinea pigs were running all over the place. The students had to form teams to catch them in the dark. It was hilarious and chaotic at the same time.
One of the scariest is when a cloud service provider had a major outage. Many businesses relying on their services were left in the lurch. Their websites went down, and they couldn't access important data stored in the cloud. It showed how vulnerable businesses are when they put all their digital eggs in one basket.
A friend of mine had a power outage horror. He was in an elevator when it happened. The elevator stopped between floors and the lights went out. He was trapped in there for hours in the dark, with only the faint light from his phone which was about to die. He was terrified of the small space and not knowing when he'd be rescued.
I heard of a Holi horror story where a woman's white dress got completely ruined by some boys who threw not just colored powder but also muddy water at her. She was humiliated and felt very scared as she was all alone and they were being very aggressive. It was a horrible experience for her during what should have been a festive time.
I heard about a waterpark where a person almost drowned in the main pool. The lifeguards were slow to react as they were chatting among themselves. It was a really close call and the victim was in the water gasping for air for what felt like an eternity before help finally arrived.
I heard a story about a pet dog that was snatched by an alligator while playing near a riverbank. The owner could only watch in horror as the alligator disappeared with their beloved pet. It was so sudden and tragic.
A really scary PGH horror story is about a deserted hospital. People who dared to enter at night reported seeing patients' apparitions in the hallways. There were also strange smells and the sound of medical equipment turning on by itself.
I heard of a neighbour who planted a bunch of really spooky looking statues in their front yard. They were all these distorted figures and it made the whole street feel haunted. Children were afraid to walk by that house. And the neighbour seemed to enjoy scaring people with those statues.
I heard about a situation where a guy was waiting in line for a popular attraction at TomorrowWorld. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned around, there was no one there. But then he noticed that his wallet was missing. He looked around but couldn't see anyone who could have taken it. It was as if some invisible thief was lurking in the crowd, preying on the unsuspecting attendees. This made him and others around him very paranoid for the rest of their time at the festival.
I heard of a randonauter who got to a place where there were strange noises coming from underground. It was like something was trying to break through. He was so frightened that he didn't stay long to find out.
