Yes. Some people are wrongly diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency just based on general fatigue or mild muscle pain. They are then given Vitamin D supplements.

By the time the correct diagnosis is made, the patient may have already suffered from the side effects of taking too much Vitamin D, such as kidney stones. It's a horror story of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
Well, I heard about a case where the prong collar was too small. It was constantly digging into the dog's neck, creating sores and making the dog extremely uncomfortable.

Well, here's a pc horror story. A person was working on their PC late at night. All of a sudden, the screen went black and then a series of random characters started scrolling rapidly across it.

One horror story was a team building event in a forest. The organizers planned a 'survival' themed event. But they didn't properly mark the paths. Half of the team got lost in the forest.
