Another story is about a gardener. Working in the sun all day, he got Hell's Itch on his arms and neck. He tried to ignore it at first, thinking it would go away. But it only got worse. The itch was so maddening that he couldn't concentrate on his work. He ended up having to take days off until the itch finally started to ease. It was a nightmare for him as he couldn't tend to his beloved garden.
Sure. There was a story of a surfer who got Hell's Itch. After spending hours in the ocean and then in the sun, the itch started. It was so intense that he couldn't hold his surfboard properly. He said it was like his whole back was being attacked by an army of ants. Every movement made it worse, and he had to cut his surfing session short and rush home to find a solution.
A hiker had a Hell's Itch horror story too. After a long hike on a sunny day, the itch began on his legs. He was miles away from any medical help. The itch was so bad that he could barely walk. He described it as a deep, searing itch that seemed to come from inside his skin. He had to find natural remedies in the wilderness like certain leaves to soothe the itch until he could get back to civilization and proper treatment.
There might be a story where someone got Hell's Itch during a camping trip. After being out in the sun all day, the itch started. It was so intense that it felt like their skin was on fire. They tried all kinds of home remedies like aloe vera and cold compresses, but nothing seemed to work. The constant scratching made the skin raw and painful, and it took a long time for the itch to subside. It was a truly horrifying experience for them.
Sure. One such story is about preseed that had been expired but was unknowingly used. The plants that grew from it were weak and diseased right from the start. They couldn't withstand even the slightest environmental stressors and quickly died off.
Sure. There is a story of a man who offended a fairy. The fairy cursed him so that every night, small fairies would come and torment him. They would pull his hair, pinch his skin, and whisper terrifying things in his ear, making it impossible for him to sleep.
Sure. One type could be related to encounters with ghosts. For example, an employee hears strange noises like whispering voices when they are alone in the store at night. Another type might involve cursed items in the store. Say, a particular product that gives people who touch it a feeling of dread.
Sure. There was a story where a woman who overdosed was given Narcan. She woke up in extreme pain because the Narcan reversed the analgesic effect of the opioids she had taken. She was screaming and writhing in pain, and it was very difficult for the medical team to manage her pain again as they had to be careful not to cause another overdose situation.
I've also heard of buffets where the utensils were dirty. Imagine picking up a fork or spoon and seeing food residue still on it. It makes you wonder how clean the rest of the buffet is and whether the kitchen follows proper hygiene procedures. This kind of situation can really put people off and make them avoid that buffet in the future.
Sure. There was a time when a team member had a really bad body odor. In the open office, the smell spread everywhere. It made it difficult for others to concentrate and was quite unpleasant. Nobody wanted to approach the person to talk about it, which made the situation even worse.
Well, I've heard of a situation where a baby was put in a separate room to 'cry it out'. As the baby cried, it somehow managed to get its leg stuck between the bars of the crib. Because the parents were waiting for the crying to stop as per the method, they didn't discover this right away. By the time they did, the baby was in a lot of pain and distress. This incident really shows the potential risks of the 'cry it out' approach if not carefully monitored.
Sure. Some people have horror stories related to cultural expectations. For example, in some cultures, virginity is highly prized, and a person who loses it before marriage may face severe judgment from family and community. This can lead to a lot of stress and trauma.
Another type might involve a deranged killer in Castoria. He stalks his victims in the alleys of the small town. His face is always hidden in the shadows, and he uses a rusty knife. The town is filled with fear as people disappear one by one, and no one knows who will be next. The killer seems to have a pattern, but it's so hard to figure out. He leaves behind a small token at each crime scene, which adds to the mystery and horror.
