One unusual horror story was about a trucker who got lost in a really strange area. His GPS was acting up and he found himself in what seemed like an abandoned industrial area. There were no signs of life and he started to worry that he might not be able to get out. He drove around for hours trying to find a way back to the main road and it was really a nerve - wracking experience.
Yes, I heard one where a family's stroller got stolen. They were enjoying their day, parked their stroller while they went on a ride, and when they came back, it was gone. All their belongings, like water bottles, snacks, and even their kids' extra clothes were in it. It was really inconvenient for them and put a damper on their Disney visit.
Yes. There are these tiny organisms called 'sea lice'. In some deep - sea areas, they can be in large numbers. A diver once told me that he got covered in them. They stung him all over his body and he had a really bad allergic reaction. It was a nightmare as he had to ascend quickly while in pain.
One stewardess had an experience where a passenger claimed to have a contagious and deadly disease but refused to be quarantined on the plane. The crew had to deal with this difficult situation, trying to convince the passenger to cooperate all while being afraid of getting infected themselves. It was a nightmare scenario.
I've heard of an inflatable paddle board horror story where the board's valve malfunctioned. As the person was paddling in a river, the valve suddenly opened, and the board started deflating rapidly. They were in a fast - flowing part of the river and had to hold onto some branches on the bank to avoid being swept away. It was a very dangerous and scary situation.
A friend told me about a pet snake that got out during a power outage. In the chaos and darkness, it was really hard to find the snake. They were terrified that it might be in a dangerous place or might bite someone. After hours of searching with flashlights, they finally found it under a couch. It was a huge relief but also a very scary experience.
Yes. I heard about a trainee who accidentally set off a false alarm during a drill. The whole base went into high - alert mode. He was severely reprimanded and had to endure extra training for weeks as a punishment. It was really extreme for him as he had to face the anger of the whole unit.
Yes. A friend of mine once had a tampon horror story. She was at a very important event and her tampon leaked all of a sudden. She was so embarrassed as she had to quickly find a way to deal with it without drawing too much attention. It was a nightmare for her.
No, I haven't directly heard any 'orilissa horror stories' myself.
Another common horror story among truckers is mechanical failures at the worst times. For example, a truck's brakes failing while going downhill. A trucker told me that he suddenly felt his brakes going soft while on a long, steep descent. He had to use his emergency brake and look for any possible escape route, like a runaway truck ramp. It was a life - or - death situation and he was lucky to survive.
Yes. There was one about a group of soldiers on night patrol. One of them started hearing whispers that no one else could. As they continued, he became more and more agitated until he suddenly ran off into the darkness. His mates never found him, and they swore they could still hear his screams long after he disappeared.
