Well, I heard a story about a ghost who only appears when someone is eating a peanut butter sandwich. And all it does is ask for a bite. It doesn't do any of the typical ghostly things like moaning or floating through walls. It just stands there looking sad until it gets a bit of the sandwich. It's a really stupid ghost story because it's so random and not at all what you'd expect from a spooky ghost.
I looked in the mirror. My reflection smiled and blinked without me doing it.
There's a story of a man who thought that if he ran fast enough, he could jump over a parked car. Of course, he failed miserably. Another one is about a girl who used a hairbrush as a toothbrush in the morning rush. She was very embarrassed when she realized. Also, there was a guy who believed that all birds could talk like parrots and spent hours trying to have a conversation with a sparrow.
At my elementary school, a boy was so eager to be the line leader that he ran ahead of everyone when the teacher said 'line up'. He ended up running right into a wall. Another story was about a girl who believed that if she wore her pajamas inside out, it would snow. So she showed up at school in her inside - out pajamas, much to the amusement of her classmates.
Well, there is this story of a boy who thought his shoelaces were snakes and started screaming in the middle of the street. Everyone around was really confused at first. It was such a stupid reaction but also very funny. He was so embarrassed when he realized his mistake.
In some ways, they are. A lot of people enjoy the humor in stupid ghost stories. For example, on social media, there are groups where people share these kinds of stories. They might not be as popular as the really scary ones, but they have their own niche. It's like a different take on the whole ghost story genre. They can be especially popular among younger audiences who might not be into really spooky stuff yet.
A really outrageous story is about a rich kid who had his own personal chef in his college dorm. He made the chef cook elaborate meals for him and his friends every day. He also had a personal butler to clean up after them. It was a total waste of money and a display of extreme privilege.
This one is really creepy. 'The mirror fogged up, but I was alone in the bathroom. A handprint appeared on the glass.' It gives me chills just thinking about it. The idea that something is in the bathroom with you when you thought you were alone is a classic horror trope, and the handprint on the fogged - up mirror makes it even more terrifying.
There was a man who visited an abandoned asylum. As he walked through the halls, he heard screams that seemed to come from nowhere. Then, he saw a figure in a straightjacket running towards him and disappeared right before it reached him. This experience left him with nightmares for weeks. The asylum had a dark past with many inhumane treatments and deaths, which might be the reason for these strange happenings.
One that always gives me chills is about a house where every night at 3 am, the same piano music would play. The owners found out that a previous occupant, who was a pianist, had died in the house under mysterious circumstances.
A really scary anonymous ghost story involves a bridge. It was said that a young girl had jumped off the bridge to her death many years ago. Since then, drivers at night would sometimes see a girl in a white dress standing on the edge of the bridge. When they stopped to help, she would disappear.
