I don't have a specific scary story about State Road 200 in Montana right off the bat. But often, in remote areas like that, there could be tales of strange apparitions seen at night. Maybe a hitchhiker who vanishes when you stop to pick them up, or an old, dilapidated building along the road with a spooky history.
A really scary road story involves getting lost on a backroad. You keep driving, hoping to find your way back to a main road. But as you drive, you notice that the same landmarks keep appearing over and over again. It's like you're in some sort of time loop. The feeling of being trapped and not knowing how to get out is absolutely terrifying.
Well, there could be a story where you enter an abandoned house in the game. As you step inside, the door slams shut behind you. You hear strange noises, like scratching on the walls. Then, in the dim light, you see a figure that looks like a zombified child. It starts to crawl towards you, and you realize you're trapped with this terrifying creature, with no easy way out.
There was this old, winding mountain road. A couple was driving through when their car suddenly started making strange noises. As they slowed down, they saw what looked like a pair of glowing eyes in the woods. They were too scared to get out and check. They drove on slowly, praying that whatever it was wouldn't follow them. Thankfully, they made it out of the mountains without any further scares.
There was this incident where a woman was driving a bit too slowly for the taste of the car behind her. The angry driver behind her started to overtake her in a very dangerous way, nearly hitting oncoming traffic. Then he pulled in front of her and slammed on his brakes. The woman was terrified as she thought she was going to crash into him. It just shows how unpredictable road rage can be.
Once, I was on a road trip at night. The GPS suddenly went haywire, leading me to a desolate dirt road. There were strange noises outside the car, like growls. I saw shadowy figures in the headlights that disappeared when I got closer. I was so scared I just turned around and drove back the way I came, not caring if I was lost for a while.
The unknown is the scariest element. In these stories, like the strange lights in the attic, no one knows what's causing them. It's this lack of explanation that makes it so frightening.
One story could be about getting lost in a dense forest at night. The GPS stopped working, and there were strange noises all around. It was terrifying as every turn seemed to lead deeper into the unknown.
The isolation. When you're on a road trip, you can be in the middle of nowhere, far from help. Like in stories where people break down and there's no one around for miles. It makes any strange encounter much scarier.
