Getting attacked by wild animals is quite scary. If you're in a remote area doing land surveying, you might encounter bears, wolves or snakes. For example, a surveyor was once bitten by a venomous snake while working in a field. He had to be rushed to the hospital immediately.
Discovering illegal activities on the land can be really frightening. Imagine surveying a piece of land and finding out there are illegal drug manufacturing operations hidden there. The people involved in those illegal activities might not want you around and could pose a threat to your safety.
Bad weather can turn into a horror situation. Heavy rain can flood the area you're surveying and make it impossible to move around or keep your equipment dry. I heard of a team that got caught in a sudden hailstorm while on a mountain for a survey. The hailstones were large and they had no proper shelter, fearing for their lives until the storm passed.
Meeting strange people. During a school trip to a city, if you come across some people who act in a really odd or menacing way. They might follow you or say strange things. It makes you feel very unsafe and ruins the whole school trip experience.
Being alone in a large building can be quite frightening. There are so many dark corners and empty rooms. You might feel like you're not alone even though you know you are. I worked in an old office building on the night shift. The hallways were long and dimly lit. I always had the feeling that something was lurking in the shadows. It was so nerve - wracking that I could hardly focus on my work.
One scary thing is when the staff behaves oddly. For example, if they keep staring at you in a creepy way or seem overly nervous. It gives you a really bad feeling right from the start.
The scariest could be the sudden transformation of the peaceful festival into a nightmarish realm. For example, the words from the books start floating in the air and turn into sharp objects that attack people.
Well, imagine if all the security measures in the server room fail at once. For example, the biometric access system stops working and anyone can get in. Then, someone with malicious intent could come in and physically damage the servers. It's also really bad when there's a virus or malware outbreak that spreads across all the servers in the room. It can encrypt all the data and hold it for ransom, or just wipe it out completely. This has happened to many companies and it's a real horror for the IT department.
If a scary neighbor starts following you around, it's really frightening. You don't know what they might do. They could be planning something bad. I knew someone whose neighbor followed her to the store and back home. She was so scared that she called the police. The whole situation made her feel very unsafe in her own neighborhood.
One horror story is about a surveyor who got lost in a dense forest while doing a land survey. He followed his maps but somehow ended up in an area full of swamps. His equipment started malfunctioning, and he was stuck there for hours until a local hunter found him. It was a terrifying experience as he was all alone with no communication and the fear of wild animals was constantly on his mind.
Meeting really eccentric characters can be very funny on a trip. I remember meeting a man who was traveling with a pet parrot on his shoulder. He told us all kinds of wild stories. Also, transportation mix - ups are hilarious. Like when you think you're getting on a luxury train but it turns out to be a rickety old one with chickens on board.
In some horror stories about 1800flowers, the flowers might be contaminated. For example, they could have some harmful chemicals on them that make people sick. That's really terrifying as you expect beautiful and safe flowers. Another aspect could be the delivery person acting really strange. Maybe they leave the flowers at a spooky place instead of the proper address, or they give off a really creepy vibe when delivering. It all adds to the horror associated with the 1800flowers experience.
One really scary thing that can happen while babysitting is when the power goes out unexpectedly. It's dark, and the babysitter has to keep the children calm while also being worried about what might be lurking in the darkness. Another is if the babysitter finds some strange symbols drawn on the walls by the kids, but the kids claim they didn't do it. It gives a very eerie feeling. Moreover, if the phone lines go dead while babysitting and there's no way to call for help in case of an emergency, that's also quite terrifying. For instance, if there was a strange noise outside and the babysitter couldn't call anyone for assistance.
