For me, 'The Dark Cellar' is the most terrifying. It's about a boy who is sent to fetch something from the cellar. As he goes down, he feels an overwhelming sense of dread. There are strange scratching sounds and a cold presence. It's terrifying because of the feeling of being trapped in a small, dark space with an unknown threat.
There is also a story about a forest that is supposed to be cursed. Legends say that anyone who enters at night never comes out the same. The trees seem to whisper and there are shadowy figures that lurk in the darkness. It creates an atmosphere of pure dread and makes you wonder what could be hiding in there.
Well, it might be those stories involving some kind of unknown and menacing creatures. You know, like some strange shadowy figures that lurk in the dark corners of the stories. These elements often create a sense of fear and unease, making them quite terrifying.
Well, in '365 Scary Stories', there is a story about a vengeful spirit in a forest. A hiker got lost in the forest and started to see a figure following him. As night fell, the figure got closer and closer, whispering threats. Also, the story of the abandoned asylum is quite terrifying. The patients who died there were said to still roam the halls, and those who dared to explore could hear their screams.
There could be a story about a lost soul wandering in the woods. In the '100 scary stories', this soul might be seeking revenge or just lost in a limbo between life and death. Hikers might encounter this figure, which looks pale and emits a cold aura. The mist in the woods adds to the spooky atmosphere as the figure gets closer and closer.
Perhaps the story of the vanishing hitchhiker. A driver picked up a young woman on a lonely road. She was pale and silent. When the driver reached the destination she had mentioned, she just vanished from the car. Later, the driver found out that a girl had died in an accident on that very road years ago and was said to be hitchhiking ever since, trying to get to her home one last time.

Well, perhaps the story of the lake with the unknown entity. Swimmers reported being dragged down by something they couldn't see. The water was always cold in one spot, even on hot days, and there were rumors of a monster lurking in the deep.
It's hard to say which one is the most terrifying as it depends on personal fears. But for me, the stories about haunted hospitals are the scariest. The idea of being in a place where people are sick and dying, and then having ghosts of the deceased patients roaming around is really creepy. It makes you think about the afterlife and the things that might be left behind.
A really terrifying 2021 story was about a derelict asylum. Explorers went inside and heard screams that seemed to be from the past.
