It's hard to say for sure. There are psychological explanations for why people might think they've seen a doppelganger. For example, the brain can misinterpret visual information. But on the other hand, there are so many doppelganger scary stories from different parts of the world that it makes you wonder if there could be something more to it. Maybe there are rare, unexplained events that people have experienced and then turned into these spooky stories.
Some scary doppelganger stories are said to be based on real experiences. People claim to have seen their doubles in various situations. However, it could also be a result of psychological factors like stress or fatigue that make the mind play tricks on us.
Yes, I've heard one. A friend of mine once saw someone who looked exactly like her in a strange old building. The doppelganger just stared at her with a blank expression. It was really spooky. My friend ran away as fast as she could.
Some might be inspired by real experiences in the BDSM community, but most are fictional. Writers often take the idea of the dominatrix role and exaggerate it for the sake of creating a scary story.
Some bigfoot scary stories might be based on real experiences. There are many people who claim to have seen bigfoot or heard its sounds in the wilderness. However, there's no conclusive scientific evidence to prove its existence yet. So, it could be that some of these stories are misidentifications of other animals or just overactive imaginations. But for those who claim to have had an encounter, it was very real and scary to them.
Most of the time, they claim to be based on real experiences. However, it's hard to prove every single story. But the fact that they are presented as true makes them even scarier. There could be some exaggeration here and there, but overall, the essence of a real - life encounter is there in many of the stories. For example, a person might tell about a time when they felt like they were being watched in an abandoned building and the feeling was so intense that they ran out in fear.
Some might be. There are many people who claim to have had real - life encounters with shadow people, which then get turned into these scary stories. However, there's no scientific proof yet that these shadow people are real entities.
Well, it's possible that there could have been some real - life events that inspired these stories. Big storms at sea or strange noises could have been misinterpreted as signs of sea monsters. However, when it comes to the more fantastical sea monsters, like those with magical powers or extreme sizes beyond what's physically possible, they are definitely not based on real - life experiences. They are products of human imagination, often used to explain the unknown and create a sense of mystery and fear.
There are accounts of people who visited shrines during off - hours. They heard strange noises like the shuffling of feet on gravel paths when there was no one else around. These experiences are often shared among locals and passed down as scary shrine stories, and while some may be exaggerations, they are based on real - life encounters.

Yes, there are some. For example, some soldiers who have been in combat may have lost toes due to explosions or landmines. Their harrowing experiences can be turned into scary stories. The pain, the fear of not being able to walk properly again, and the trauma of the event can all add elements of horror. One soldier told a story about how he thought he was going to die when his toe was blown off and he was alone in a dangerous area.
