I remember a case where a stalker followed a woman everywhere she went. He knew her daily routine and would be at the places she visited. He even got into the same elevator with her once. This constant presence made her feel extremely unsafe. She finally had to change her entire lifestyle to try and lose him.
One that comes to mind is the case where a stalker would leave strange and threatening notes at the victim's doorstep every night. It really freaked her out and she ended up having to move multiple times.
One story I heard was about a girl who noticed the same man everywhere she went - at the grocery store, near her work, and even outside her apartment. He would always stare at her intently. One day, she found a strange note in her mailbox with details about her daily routine. It was so creepy.
The most disturbing one I heard was when a family thought they were renting a house. They paid the deposit and first month's rent. But when they showed up on moving day, the 'owner' had already rented it to someone else and refused to return their money. They were left homeless and out of a large sum of money.
In a summer camp deep in the mountains, there was a story of a group of campers who found a dead body in the woods. They were out on a nature walk when they stumbled upon it. It was an old hiker who had probably passed away from natural causes, but for the young campers, it was a horrifying discovery. They had to wait for the authorities to come, and the whole experience haunted them for a long time. It was a really disturbing encounter that no one expected at a summer camp.
A colleague of mine had a really bad experience. An internet stalker created a fake profile using her pictures and started interacting with people she knew, spreading false rumors about her. It was so horrible as she had to deal with the aftermath of people believing those lies. She had to go through a lot of trouble to prove it wasn't her and get the fake profile taken down.
The invasion of privacy is really disturbing. In these stories, stalkers often know the victim's daily routine, like where they go and what they do, which is a huge breach of personal space.
A very disturbing true stalker story is when a stalker broke into the victim's house while they were sleeping. They left a note on the bedside table saying they were watching. The victim woke up to this and was horrified. They immediately moved out but the stalker still found their new location. It's so scary how the stalker was able to get so close without being noticed.
There's the story of a girl who believed that she was shrinking. She became so obsessed with it that she stopped eating, thinking that if she ate, she would grow too big too fast. As a result, she became severely malnourished. It's a disturbing tale of how a false belief can be so harmful to one's physical and mental health. The doctors tried hard to make her understand that she wasn't actually shrinking, but it was a long and difficult process.
A disturbing one is the story of a large oil spill. The oil spread across the ocean, coating birds and marine animals. The birds couldn't fly as their feathers were stuck together by the thick oil. They just sat there helplessly, waiting to die. It was heart - breaking to see such beautiful creatures in that state because of human carelessness.
The story of the Black Monk of Pontefract is quite disturbing. This apparition was seen by many people in a house. It would growl, move furniture, and even seemed to have physical strength to push people. It made the lives of those living there a living hell.
I've heard of a story where a person discovered they were related to someone involved in a really heinous crime. Just the thought of having a connection like that was very disturbing for them.
