A guy was in a locker room at a sports center. He was the only one there. Suddenly, he heard very loud and aggressive breathing right next to his ear. He spun around but there was no one. He ran out of the locker room immediately.
I heard about a locker room in an old stadium. One of the players went in to get his stuff. As he was walking towards his locker, he saw all the lockers shaking violently on their own. He was so terrified that he left his things and ran out. It was as if there was some unseen force causing the chaos.
A friend told me that in his locker room, someone left their clothes in the washing machine for too long and they shrunk to a really small size. When he finally found them, he couldn't believe how tiny they were and it was so funny.
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 friend told me about a neighbor who would leave creepy notes on their door. The notes were full of strange symbols and threats. It was so scary that they had to move out in the end.
I heard a story where a family moved into a new house. The bathroom always had a strange smell, like rotting something. Whenever they flushed the toilet, it would make a gurgling noise as if something was trying to come up. One day, the daughter was in the bathroom and she saw a black hand reaching out from the toilet bowl. She screamed and they never used that bathroom again.
I heard a story where a person was about to get on a plane. But they had this gut - wrenching feeling that something bad would happen if they boarded. They didn't go. Later, that plane crashed. It's really scary how their intuition could have sensed something so terrible.
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.
A really scary military story is about a ship at sea. The crew started experiencing strange electrical glitches and then saw apparitions on the deck. It was a military vessel that had a history of some violent incidents in the past, and it seemed like the spirits of those who died were still lingering.
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.
The scariest one I've heard was about a guy who would break into people's houses at night and just stand at the foot of their beds watching them sleep. He never stole anything or hurt them physically, but the idea of someone just standing there in the dark is terrifying.
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.
