The scariest dog story I've heard was about a hound in the woods. Hunters would often see it in the distance, but when they got closer, it would disappear.

There was this story where a guy was hiking alone in the woods. He got lost and as night fell, he saw a figure in the distance that seemed to be following him.

He quickly left and finally found his way out. It was really a nerve - wracking experience.
One of the most terrifying paranormal true stories is about a ship. Sailors on the ship reported seeing a ghostly crew on the deck at night.

There's a story of a group of friends who explored an old asylum in NYC. As they walked through the dark hallways, they heard voices whispering and doors slamming on their own. They also saw scratches on the walls that seemed to form strange symbols. It was as if the place was haunted by the tortured souls of the patients who were once there. They ran out as fast as they could and some of them still have nightmares about it. The asylum has a really dark history of inhumane treatments and many people died there, which might be the reason for all the spooky happenings.
