A group of friends were playing Pokemon Go in an old, dilapidated building. They followed a Pokemon up to the top floor. Once there, they noticed that the Pokemon they were chasing seemed to be just out of reach no matter how they moved. Suddenly, the doors behind them slammed shut and they heard footsteps. They were terrified and had to call for help to get out. It's these kinds of unexpected and spooky events that make up the Pokemon Go scary stories.
One scary Pokemon Go story is about a player who was exploring a supposedly haunted area at night.

There's the story of the hitchhiker. A man picked up a girl on a lonely road late at night. She was silent the whole ride. When they reached her destination, she disappeared. Later, he found out that a girl had died on that road years ago and her ghost was known to hitch rides.
Yes, there are some spooky Pokemon game ghost stories. For example, the story of Lavender Town in the original Pokemon games.

A Tumblr user shared a story of a family who bought an antique mirror. Strange things started to happen. At first, they saw faint images in the mirror that didn't match the room behind them. Then, they would often find their furniture moved slightly in the morning as if someone had been in the room at night. One day, the youngest child was staring into the mirror and started screaming. When the parents looked, they saw a menacing face staring back at them. They got rid of the mirror right away.
Well, there's the classic story of the woman in white who haunts abandoned houses. People claim to see her and feel an icy presence.
Often, the unknown makes a story truly scary. For example, in many of these stories, there are unexplained noises or movements. When you don't know what's causing something, it scares you more. Like in a haunted house story, if you just hear a creaking sound but don't see what's making it, your mind starts to imagine all sorts of terrifying things.
Well, ghost stories can be scary for many. They often play on our fears of the unknown and the supernatural. But it varies from person to person based on their imagination and susceptibility to fear.
