Well, there's this one where a man put a fake spider the size of a dinner plate on his wife's pillow. His wife has a huge fear of spiders. When she saw it, she let out a blood - curdling scream. She was so shaken that she couldn't sleep in their bedroom for days. The man felt really bad afterwards but it was a very effective horror prank.
I heard about a prank where someone set up a haunted - looking doll in a little girl's room while she was at school. The doll had glowing eyes and would make creepy noises. When the girl came home and entered her room, she saw the doll and started crying hysterically. It took her parents a long time to calm her down. This shows how a horror prank can sometimes be too much for some people.
A scariest one could be where a couple of teenagers pranked their parents by pretending to be haunted. They used special effects to create floating orbs and cold spots. But then, their dog started acting really strange. It would bark at nothing and cower in corners. The teenagers began to wonder if their prank had somehow attracted a real spirit. It was really scary when the lights in the house started flickering on their own, and they couldn't find any logical explanation.
The unknown. When you don't know who is on the other end of the call and what their intentions are. For example, in many stories, the caller's identity is hidden, which makes it really scary.
The scariest one I've heard was about a man who found blood - like stains on his walls every morning. He was convinced something evil was in his house. After days of fear, his brother finally admitted that he had used some fake blood and a spray bottle to create the effect as a prank. It was really mean because the man was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
There's a story about a woman who had too much to drink at a friend's house in the countryside. She decided to go for a walk to clear her head. But she ended up in a field with a big old oak tree. Under the tree, she saw a figure that looked like a ghostly apparition. She ran back to the house as fast as she could, but she felt like something was chasing her all the way. When she got back, she found out that the area was known for some old superstitions and spooky sightings.
There's a story about a religious artifact that brought doom. A small village discovered an ancient religious idol. After it was brought into the village, people started having nightmares. The children were the first to be affected, seeing apparitions of a dark figure. As time passed, the adults also fell ill, and the crops failed. The villagers believed it was a curse from the idol because it was from a long - forgotten and perhaps malevolent religious sect.
A group of fishermen were on a riverbank when a bear showed up. It seemed interested in their catch. As they tried to shoo it away, it attacked one of them. The man was bitten on his arm and dragged a short distance. His friends had to fight off the bear with oars and fishing rods. It was a chaotic and scary situation.
One time, a blender's cord started to spark while it was running. It was really terrifying as it could have led to an electrical fire. The person using it quickly unplugged it, but it was a close call. This might have been because of a frayed wire inside the cord that wasn't noticed before. Blenders need to be checked regularly for such safety hazards.
A girl rented an apartment. Every time she took a shower, she felt cold hands touch her. She thought she was imagining it at first. But it happened so often that she couldn't ignore it. She finally told her landlord, who just brushed it off. She was so terrified that she broke the lease and left.

One really scary story is about a haunted bridge. Legend has it that if you cross it at midnight, a ghostly figure will appear and try to push you off. Many locals have reported seeing this figure and some even claim to have been touched by cold hands while on the bridge.
