There was this Reading Festival where a group of friends decided to have a horror story reading session late at night. One of them started reading a story about a cursed library. As he read, strange noises started coming from the surrounding bookshelves. The lights began to flicker. They all got really scared but couldn't stop listening. When he finally finished the story, they all ran back to their tents, feeling as if something was following them.
At a Reading Festival, there was a tent dedicated to old horror novels. A young girl entered it. As she started reading a particularly creepy one, she felt a cold breeze. Looking up, she saw a shadowy figure that seemed to be emerging from the pages. She dropped the book and ran out, never to enter that tent again. It was as if the horror from the book had come to life in that moment.

At a Reading Festival, there was a small, old tent that was said to be haunted. A group of friends decided to explore it out of curiosity. Once inside, they heard strange whispers and felt a cold, clammy presence. The candles they brought with them flickered wildly as if something was trying to blow them out. They ran out in a panic, but some of them later claimed to still feel the presence around them even after leaving the festival.
There was this time at a music festival when the weather suddenly turned really bad. It started to pour rain, and the muddy ground made it impossible to move around easily. People were slipping and falling, and tents were getting flooded. Some even lost their shoes in the thick mud. It was a total mess and ruined the whole festival experience for many.
There were stories of people getting pickpocketed at Leeds Festival. Thieves would target crowded areas near the stages when everyone was distracted by the music. Some lost their wallets with all their money, ID, and bank cards, which completely ruined their festival experience as they had to deal with cancelling cards and having no money for food or other essentials.
One festival horror story is about a small town's Halloween. A group of kids went trick - or - treating in an old, abandoned house at the edge of town. As they entered, the door slammed shut behind them. Strange noises filled the air, and they saw shadowy figures moving in the dark. They tried to find a way out but all the doors and windows seemed to be sealed. Eventually, they huddled together in fear until the sun came up and the door mysteriously opened again.
One horror story is about the extreme weather. Sometimes sandstorms can hit the festival. People are caught unprepared, with tents being blown away and their belongings scattered everywhere. It's a chaotic and terrifying situation as they struggle to find shelter and protect their things.

A really common festival toilet horror story is the lack of privacy. The walls of the portable toilets are often thin, and you can hear everything that's going on outside and vice versa. It can be really uncomfortable when you're trying to do your business and there are people chatting or making noise right outside your 'tiny cubicle'.
There was a time when the sound system at the V Festival malfunctioned. Bands had to stop performing mid - set, and the audience was left disappointed and frustrated.

One horror story is about getting lost in the huge crowd. I was trying to find my friends, but there were so many people pushing and shoving. The music was so loud that I couldn't even call out their names properly. I felt really panicked and it took me almost an hour to finally reunite with them.
