There was this case where a sleepwalker entered a shed in his backyard. In the shed, there were a lot of tools, including power tools. He somehow managed to turn on a power drill while sleepwalking. Fortunately, he didn't harm himself, but the thought of what could have happened was really scary. Sleepwalking can lead people into such dangerous situations without them even being aware of it.
A woman once sleepwalked into a forest near her home. She was found hours later, deep in the woods, by a search party. She had no memory of how she got there or what she was doing. Just imagine being lost in a forest while in a sleepwalking state. There are so many potential dangers like getting bitten by snakes or getting lost permanently. It was truly a harrowing experience for her and her family.
There was a farmhouse where people reported seeing a strange light in one of the upper - story windows at night. A local historian found out that a long - ago murder had taken place in that very room. The light was thought to be the spirit of the victim still lingering. The stories of people feeling a cold hand on their shoulders when they got too close to that window added to the horror of the place.
One of the scariest stalking stories I've heard was about a woman who was constantly followed by a man she didn't know. He would show up at her workplace, her gym, and even outside her home. He left creepy notes in her mailbox. Another case involved a girl who noticed the same car following her everywhere for weeks. It got to the point where she was afraid to leave her house. There was also a man who was stalked by an ex - partner who would hack into his accounts to keep tabs on him.
There was this time when I heard about a driver who saw a strange figure standing in the middle of the highway in the middle of the night. They couldn't tell if it was a real person or something else. As they got closer, it just disappeared. It made them so spooked that they drove faster to get away from that area. It's one of those unexplained and truly scary highway incidents.
I think the story about the person who kept seeing a figure in the corner of their eye, but when they turned, there was nothing there. This plays on our paranoia and the fear of something being there that we can't see or understand. It makes you constantly on edge, always looking over your shoulder. And the fact that it happened repeatedly to the person in the story just adds to the horror.
There's a Japanese horror story about a girl named Sadako from 'The Ring'. She was brutally murdered and thrown into a well. Her curse spreads through a videotape. Anyone who watches the tape will receive a phone call saying they will die in seven days, and then they are haunted by her terrifying image until their death.
One scary Tinder story I heard was about a girl who met a guy on Tinder. They seemed to hit it off and planned a date at a local coffee shop. When she got there, the guy she met looked nothing like his pictures. He was much older and scruffier. He then started being really pushy about going to his place right away. She felt really unsafe and had to make up an excuse to leave.
Stories of real - life serial killers can be extremely terrifying. Take Ted Bundy for instance. His charm to lure his victims and then the brutal murders he committed are truly horrifying. His case shows how evil can lurk in an ordinary - looking person.
There was a school lockdown due to a dangerous criminal on the loose near the school. The school had to quickly secure all the entrances. During the lockdown, the power went out which added to the fear. Students and teachers were huddled together in the dark, not knowing if the criminal would break in. They could hear every little noise outside and it was terrifying.
A friend of mine was walking late at night near an old asylum. He said he saw a figure in a white gown floating near a window. He ran away as fast as he could. Just the thought of it gives me chills.
One of the scariest stories I've heard was about a patient who claimed to see ghosts in the mental hospital at night. The lights would flicker, and they would swear they saw shadowy figures moving in the hallways. It was so terrifying that it made the other patients around them very uneasy.
