There was a taxi driver who worked at night. One night, he picked up a passenger who was very quiet. The driver tried to make small talk, but the passenger didn't respond. As they drove along a desolate road, the driver looked in the rear - view mirror and saw that the passenger's face was all white and her eyes were completely black. He was so scared that he immediately stopped the car and the 'passenger' just vanished into thin air.
There was this time when I was driving at night on a mountain road. The fog was really thick, making it hard to see. All of a sudden, I heard strange noises like something was scratching at the side of my car. I was too scared to stop and check. I just kept driving, praying that whatever it was would go away. It was a terrifying experience that I'll never forget.
One scary sleepover story could be about a haunted doll. A group of friends at a sleepover found an old doll in the attic. During the night, they heard strange giggling coming from the doll. When they looked at it, its eyes seemed to follow them around the room. They were so scared that they locked the doll in a closet, but the giggling continued until morning.
Definitely. Many of the Night Vale ghost stories play on our fears of the unknown. For example, the ghosts in the abandoned places like the mines or the dog park. The desolate settings and the idea of spirits lingering there make them very spooky. The descriptions of the apparitions and the strange noises associated with them all contribute to the scariness.
Driving at night in the mountains can be terrifying. I was on a narrow winding road and my headlights seemed to only penetrate a short distance. I heard strange noises, like something was scraping against the side of the mountain. I was worried about a rockslide or some other danger. Every turn was nerve - wracking, and I was so relieved when I finally got out of those mountains.
One time I was driving at night on a lonely country road. Out of nowhere, a figure in white suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. I slammed on the brakes, my heart pounding. As I looked closer, it seemed to vanish. It was so terrifying that I drove the rest of the way home as fast as I could.
I once had a scary late night driving experience myself. It was really late and I was on a narrow country road. The headlights started to flicker and then there was this strange noise coming from the engine. I thought I might break down in the middle of nowhere. I was terrified but luckily managed to get to a gas station just in time. There could have been all sorts of unknown things lurking in the dark around me.
Here's another. In a small village, there was a legend about a headless horseman that would ride through the streets at night. One night, a traveler was walking through the village when he heard the sound of hoofbeats approaching. He turned and saw a figure on a horse, but there was no head. The horseman chased him, and the traveler ran as fast as he could. He hid in an old barn, but the sound of the horseman's horse circling outside made him tremble with fear all night long until morning came and the danger seemed to pass.
One scary story is about a lone driver on a deserted country road at night. Suddenly, a figure in white appears in the middle of the road. As the driver brakes, the figure vanishes. When the driver starts again, the figure reappears, closer this time, and seems to be following the car. It's a truly spine - chilling experience.
No. Some late night ghost stories can be rather interesting or even bittersweet. For example, there are stories of friendly ghosts that just seem to be lingering around because they love the place they used to live in. They might play harmless pranks like moving small objects around.
