A young girl living in Cabrini Green told of how she was afraid to walk to the local school because of the gang members who would hang around on the streets.

Well, some Cabrini Green horror stories revolve around the lack of proper maintenance. There were stories of rats and other pests being common in the apartments.

There are also stories about issues with direct deposits. For example, a person's paycheck was supposed to be directly deposited into their Green Dot Bank account.

Sure. There was a Pegasister who attended a Pegasus - themed convention. She was really excited to meet other fans and see all the cool stuff.

One specific 'bronies horror story' could be about a brony who was overly obsessed with a particular My Little Pony character.

Sure. I once bought a really expensive silk shirt for a job interview. I was feeling great in it until I sat down on a bench at the bus stop. There was some wet paint there that I didn't notice.

Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
