A metal detector user once went to an old battlefield site. He found a bullet - ridden metal plate. But as he was examining it, he suddenly felt an intense cold. His metal detector started going haywire, giving off erratic signals. He then saw a faint apparition of a soldier in tattered uniform. It was a terrifying experience that made him believe the spirits of the fallen soldiers were still there and not happy about his presence.
The unknown objects that are found can be really scary. For example, finding something that looks like it has a dark or sinister past, like an old torture device. It gives you the creeps just thinking about what it was used for.
Sure. I heard of a man who detected a bronze medallion in a park. It was a commemorative piece from a local event in the 1950s. He was able to find out more about the event and even contacted some of the people who were involved back then.
Sure. One time, a friend of mine was metal detecting on an old farm. He got a signal and started digging. He ended up pulling out an old horseshoe. But what made it really funny was that right after, a horse on the farm came over and stared at him as if he was stealing its property.
There was a person who went metal detecting on a beach. They found a gold locket that had a picture of a couple from the early 1900s. It was like a little time capsule and they were able to return it to the descendants of the couple after some research. It was a very heartwarming story of how metal detecting can connect people to their past.
A man was metal detecting near an old house. He got a signal and found a small metal object. It was an old key. He thought it might open some hidden door or chest. He tried it on every lock in the house, but it didn't fit any. The whole process of his wild imagination and failed attempts was quite amusing.
In a small town, there was a metal statue that was said to be haunted. Legend had it that a sorcerer was trapped inside the statue by a powerful spell long ago. Every now and then, people would see the statue move slightly. One time, during a full moon, the statue's eyes glowed red, and it seemed to come alive, chasing away a group of kids who were playing nearby.
One horror story could be that Metal Man was once a kind creation, but a mad scientist reprogrammed him. He then started to hunt down anyone who entered his lair. His metallic steps echoed ominously as he chased his victims through the dark corridors.
The unknown is often the scariest element. In metal horror stories, it could be not knowing what lurks within the metal. For example, if there's a strange metal box and you don't know what's inside, but it gives off an eerie feeling, that's really scary.
One horror story is about a patient who unknowingly had a small metal fragment in their body. When they went for an MRI, the magnetic force was so strong that the fragment started to move. It caused internal pain and bleeding. The doctors had to quickly stop the MRI and perform emergency surgery to remove the fragment and repair the damage.
One well - known black metal story is about the early Norwegian black metal scene. Bands like Mayhem were at the forefront. Their vocalist Dead was known for his extreme and macabre lifestyle. He committed suicide and his bandmate Euronymous took a photo of his corpse which became a very controversial and dark part of the black metal lore.
