One scary on - tour story I heard was about a band touring in an old theater. At night, the drummer kept hearing strange tapping noises coming from the stage when everyone else was asleep. He thought it was just his imagination at first, but when he went to check, he saw a shadowy figure moving in the wings. He ran back to his dressing room and didn't come out until morning.
There was a group on tour who stayed in a supposedly haunted hotel. In the middle of the night, one of the singers woke up to find all the lights in the room flickering.

When she finally managed to call for help, the staff came and said that other guests had reported similar strange happenings in that room before.
A touring theater troupe had an encounter in a small town. They were performing in an old barn that had been converted into a makeshift theater.

Sure. Once I was on a tour in Paris. I got lost trying to find the Eiffel Tower. I asked a local for directions, but he pointed me in the wrong way on purpose as a joke. Eventually, I found my way and when I told him later, we both had a good laugh.

There was a tour guide in a safari park. He was explaining about different animals when a monkey snatched his hat right off his head. Instead of getting mad, he made it into a joke.

Sure. Once, during a rugby tour, our team bus broke down in the middle of nowhere. We all had to get out and push the bus to the nearest town while singing rugby chants. It was hilarious and also a great team - building experience.
There are many funny PGA Tour stories. For instance, a golfer was in the middle of a crucial putt when suddenly a gust of wind blew his ball right as he was about to strike it. He was so shocked that he ended up falling over. Another story involves a golfer who was very superstitious. He always carried a lucky charm. During one tournament, he lost his charm on the course. He was so distracted by looking for it that he made a series of bad shots. And then there was a golfer who misread the slope of the green completely and his ball rolled all the way back to his feet after he putted. It was a very comical moment.
