One of the most frightening stories was about a roommate who would sleepwalk. One night, the sleepwalking roommate opened the window wide while sleepwalking. It was on the fifth floor. Another roommate woke up just in time and managed to stop her from falling out. It was really a heart - stopping moment.
There was a case where a student in a dorm would receive anonymous and threatening letters in his mailbox. The letters contained disturbing messages about things he had done in private. He was really scared and didn't know who was behind it. After a long investigation, it turned out to be a prank by a classmate who had a grudge against him.
A student's laptop kept turning on by itself in the dorm at night. He thought it was a technical glitch at first. But then he saw the webcam light blink on when he was sure it was off. He was terrified, fearing that someone was hacking into his laptop. After some checks, it was found that there was a problem with the power supply that caused these strange occurrences.
There was this case where a girl's hairbrush in the dorm started to move on its own. She thought she was seeing things at first. But then it happened again when her roommate was also in the room. They were both really freaked out. Later they found out that there was a loose wire in the wall behind the dresser that was causing some kind of electrical interference which made the hairbrush vibrate in a really strange way.
A really scary one was when a student smelled a strange, rotting smell in his dorm room. He searched everywhere but couldn't find the source. Eventually, he found out that a previous tenant had hidden some food in a very hidden corner which had completely rotted away. It was so disgusting and the smell was truly horrifying.
There was a college bathroom where people often complained about a really bad smell. One day, a maintenance worker went to check it out and found a dead mouse stuck in the drain pipe. The smell had been coming from the decomposing mouse for days. And then there was the time when a girl was in the bathroom and she heard someone singing a really eerie song in a low voice. When she opened the stall door to see who it was, there was no one there. It was so spooky that she avoided using that bathroom for a long time.
The scariest one I've heard is from a college near a cemetery. Students say that at midnight, they can see ghostly figures walking from the cemetery towards the college dormitories. It's really creepy because it seems like they are drawn to the living students.
One of the scariest is when a cloud service provider had a major outage. Many businesses relying on their services were left in the lurch. Their websites went down, and they couldn't access important data stored in the cloud. It showed how vulnerable businesses are when they put all their digital eggs in one basket.
I heard of a Holi horror story where a woman's white dress got completely ruined by some boys who threw not just colored powder but also muddy water at her. She was humiliated and felt very scared as she was all alone and they were being very aggressive. It was a horrible experience for her during what should have been a festive time.
I heard about a waterpark where a person almost drowned in the main pool. The lifeguards were slow to react as they were chatting among themselves. It was a really close call and the victim was in the water gasping for air for what felt like an eternity before help finally arrived.
I heard a story about a pet dog that was snatched by an alligator while playing near a riverbank. The owner could only watch in horror as the alligator disappeared with their beloved pet. It was so sudden and tragic.
A really scary PGH horror story is about a deserted hospital. People who dared to enter at night reported seeing patients' apparitions in the hallways. There were also strange smells and the sound of medical equipment turning on by itself.
I heard of a neighbour who planted a bunch of really spooky looking statues in their front yard. They were all these distorted figures and it made the whole street feel haunted. Children were afraid to walk by that house. And the neighbour seemed to enjoy scaring people with those statues.
