I heard that there have been some incidents of violence during large events at the Superdome. With so many people in a confined space, fights can break out.

One of the most chilling stories is 'The Veldt'. It shows how technology can turn against us in a terrifying way. The children's virtual nursery, which is supposed to be a place of play, becomes a death trap filled with hungry lions. Another is 'There Will Come Soft Rains', which is haunting as it shows a house that continues to function even after the humans are gone, in a post - apocalyptic setting. It gives a sense of desolation and the horror of a world without people.
There was a tourist who stayed in an old, supposedly haunted hotel in New Orleans. At night, she felt cold spots in her room. Then, she saw the doorknob turn on its own.

It was a nightmare for her.
