Well, there was this one time in the Amazon rainforest. A team of researchers were in their tent at night when a large anaconda started to coil around the tent. They could feel the pressure and the slithering movement. It was a terrifying moment for them. Another terrifying beastly real story is about a man who was fishing in a remote lake and a huge grizzly bear came out of the woods towards him. He had to abandon his fishing gear and run for his life. Also, there are stories of Tasmanian devils attacking small animals and sometimes even getting a bit too close to humans in Tasmania which can be quite scary.
A nurse working the night shift in a hospital heard strange noises coming from an empty patient room. When she went to check, she saw the door slowly close by itself. She opened it again, and the lights started to flicker. She could swear she saw a figure at the end of the bed. She left the room and refused to go back in. Later, she found out that a patient had died in that room under mysterious circumstances.
I know a story about a bridge. Many people claimed to see a headless horseman riding across it late at night. One driver said that as he passed the bridge, his car suddenly stalled and he saw the horseman coming towards him. He managed to restart his car and get away just in time. It's a very spooky story.
A group of friends were locked down in a big house. They started to play with a Ouija board out of boredom. Soon, they felt a cold presence in the room. Things started to move on their own. A picture frame fell off the wall and shattered. They were so scared that they stopped using the Ouija board immediately, but the strange occurrences continued for a few days until they all decided to sleep in the same room together for safety.
One that always gives me chills is about a house where every night at 3 am, the same piano music would play. The owners found out that a previous occupant, who was a pianist, had died in the house under mysterious circumstances.
One of the most terrifying ones I know is about a family who moved into a new house. Their young daughter started talking to an 'imaginary friend'. But then things got really creepy. The daughter would say things that this friend told her, like how they used to live in the house and died there. There were also times when objects in the house would move on their own. The family was so scared that they eventually moved out.
There's a story of a hiker who got lost in the mountains. As night fell, he found an abandoned cabin. Inside, there were strange markings on the walls. He tried to leave but got turned around in the dark. He heard voices outside the cabin that sounded like they were chanting. He was so scared that he stayed up all night until he could find his way out at dawn.
One of the scariest spooky ghost stories is about a castle in Scotland. There's a ghost of a knight who rides through the halls at night. He was killed in battle and is said to be looking for his lost love. His armor clanks as he rides, and his horse's hooves echo. And then there's the story of a haunted theater. Actors have reported seeing a ghostly figure in the balcony, and sometimes the lights flicker for no reason. It is believed to be the spirit of an actress who died on stage.
I know a story where a woman met a man on POF. They talked for weeks and she started to trust him. When they met, he took her to a really isolated place. She felt very uncomfortable and scared. She managed to get away and later found out he had a history of aggressive behavior towards women. It was a really close call for her.
One of the most terrifying paranormal true stories is about a ship. Sailors on the ship reported seeing a ghostly crew on the deck at night. They said the figures were translucent and seemed to be repeating the actions they were doing when the ship had a tragic accident years ago. There were also reports of strange voices coming from the hold of the ship. This made the sailors very uneasy and some even refused to continue their voyage on that ship.
The most terrifying ski horror story I know involves a ski lift accident. The cable of the ski lift snapped while it was full of skiers. Some of the chairs came crashing down the mountain, and the skiers on them were seriously injured. Another one is about a skier who was skiing in an area known for its thin snow cover. He hit a rock hidden under the snow and was thrown several meters into the air. He had internal bleeding and it was a very close call for him to survive.
