My friend told me about a roadblock she faced while traveling through a rural area. There were some old cars and debris deliberately placed across the road. As she got out to check, she felt like she was being watched. Then she saw a group of people in the distance who looked very unfriendly. She quickly got back in her car and made a U - turn. She was really scared that they might be up to no good.
I heard a story about a roadblock during a storm. A traveler came across a large tree fallen across the road. While he was trying to figure out what to do, he noticed some strange noises coming from the forest. It was as if something was lurking and waiting. He ended up running back to his car and driving away as fast as he could. He later found out that area was known for some unexplained disappearances.
Once, I was driving on a lonely mountain road at night. There was a sudden roadblock with no signs or warnings. As I stopped, a strange figure emerged from the bushes. It was all in rags and had a menacing look. I quickly reversed and found another way around, heart pounding all the way.
One scary roadblock story is when I was driving at night on a lonely country road. Suddenly, there was a huge fallen tree across the road. It was so unexpected and the darkness made it seem even more menacing. I had to turn around and find an alternative route which took me hours as I got lost in the process.
The unexpectedness. You're going about your journey normally, and then suddenly there's a roadblock. It throws you off balance.
The unknown is a big part. For example, if there's a roadblock with no clear reason or signs, it makes you wonder what's going on. Is it an accident? Is it something more sinister? Also, if there are strange noises or a lack of people around when there's a roadblock, that adds to the scariness. It makes you feel isolated and vulnerable.
There might be a story of a cursed object. A girl found an old locket in an antique store. After she put it on, she started having nightmares of a shadowy figure. Everywhere she went, she felt a cold presence. She finally threw the locket into a river, and the nightmares stopped.
One real scary ghost story is about an old abandoned mansion. People who passed by at night often heard strange wailing sounds coming from inside. A group of teenagers once decided to explore it. As they entered, the doors slammed shut behind them. They saw a figure in white drifting along the hallway. They ran in panic and one of them swore they felt a cold hand on their shoulder as they fled.
A young boy was brought in with a severe headache. As the doctors examined him, his eyes rolled back and he started having seizures. The seizures were so intense and continuous that it was difficult to stop them. The cause was a brain tumor that was growing at an alarming rate. The sight of the boy going through such agony was extremely scary for everyone in the hospital.
There was a dispatcher story where the caller was a lost hiker in a very remote area. It was getting dark and the dispatcher had to rely on the hiker's very limited description of the surroundings. The hiker was also on the verge of hypothermia, which made the situation extremely tense. The dispatcher had to work fast to coordinate a search and rescue team.
One scary message story is about a girl who received a text at midnight. The text just said 'I'm outside your window'. She was terrified and didn't dare to look. She called the police, but when they came, there was no one there. However, the next night, she got the same text again.
One scary period story is about a haunted house during a full moon. People said that strange noises came from the attic only during the period when the moon was full. Every time they went to check, they felt a cold chill and saw shadowy figures. It was as if the spirits were more active during that time.
One night, I heard scratching at my window. I peeked out and saw a faceless figure. It vanished when I blinked.
