One of the scariest is when a cloud service provider had a major outage. Many businesses relying on their services were left in the lurch. Their websites went down, and they couldn't access important data stored in the cloud. It showed how vulnerable businesses are when they put all their digital eggs in one basket.
There was a horror story where a software development project for a crucial medical device went wrong. Due to bugs in the code, the device malfunctioned and gave incorrect readings. This put patients' lives at risk. It was a terrifying situation that highlighted the importance of rigorous IT testing in life - critical applications.
I heard about an IT department that hired a new employee who turned out to be a malicious insider. He planted malware that slowly siphoned off sensitive customer data over months. By the time they detected it, a large amount of data had been stolen, and the company's reputation was severely damaged.
I heard of a Holi horror story where a woman's white dress got completely ruined by some boys who threw not just colored powder but also muddy water at her. She was humiliated and felt very scared as she was all alone and they were being very aggressive. It was a horrible experience for her during what should have been a festive time.
I heard about a waterpark where a person almost drowned in the main pool. The lifeguards were slow to react as they were chatting among themselves. It was a really close call and the victim was in the water gasping for air for what felt like an eternity before help finally arrived.
I heard a story about a pet dog that was snatched by an alligator while playing near a riverbank. The owner could only watch in horror as the alligator disappeared with their beloved pet. It was so sudden and tragic.
A really scary PGH horror story is about a deserted hospital. People who dared to enter at night reported seeing patients' apparitions in the hallways. There were also strange smells and the sound of medical equipment turning on by itself.
I heard of a neighbour who planted a bunch of really spooky looking statues in their front yard. They were all these distorted figures and it made the whole street feel haunted. Children were afraid to walk by that house. And the neighbour seemed to enjoy scaring people with those statues.
I heard about a situation where a guy was waiting in line for a popular attraction at TomorrowWorld. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned around, there was no one there. But then he noticed that his wallet was missing. He looked around but couldn't see anyone who could have taken it. It was as if some invisible thief was lurking in the crowd, preying on the unsuspecting attendees. This made him and others around him very paranoid for the rest of their time at the festival.
I heard of a randonauter who got to a place where there were strange noises coming from underground. It was like something was trying to break through. He was so frightened that he didn't stay long to find out.
I heard a story where a person bought a used typewriter on letgo. When they started typing on it, the keys would sometimes press down on their own and type out strange, incoherent messages that seemed to be warnings or threats. It was really spooky as it felt like there was an unseen presence using the typewriter.
I heard of a Sims 4 horror story where a Sim went to a graveyard at night. As they walked among the tombstones, they were suddenly surrounded by ghosts. The ghosts made strange noises and the Sim couldn't move for a while. It was terrifying. The Sim had to use special in - game items to ward off the ghosts and escape. This shows how the game can create a very spooky atmosphere.
The scariest one I heard was when a person's uverse TV started changing channels on its own in the middle of the night. It would stop on channels that were just static and there was a feeling of being watched. It made the person really paranoid and they ended up unplugging the TV for a while.
