scary ghost encounter stories

I once visited an old, abandoned house. As I walked through the dimly lit hallways, I felt a sudden cold breeze. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadowy figure that seemed to glide across the room. I ran out of there as fast as I could.

One scary ghost encounter story is about a woman who moved into an old house. At night, she often heard strange noises like someone dragging heavy chains. One night, she saw a figure in white floating at the end of her bed. She was so terrified that she couldn't move. When she finally managed to turn on the light, the figure disappeared.

One common element is the feeling of sudden coldness. Ghosts are often associated with a drop in temperature. Another is strange noises like moans or whispers. For example, in many stories, people hear unexplained sounds in an empty house.

The most terrifying part is often the unexpected appearance of the ghost. For example, when you turn around and suddenly see a ghostly figure right behind you. It's that sudden shock that gets to you.

There was an encounter where a man thought a ghost was in his kitchen. But when he turned on the light, it was just his cat knocking things over, and the 'ghostly' noises were the cat playing. It's a funny misinterpretation of a normal event as a ghost encounter.

One time, my friend was camping in the woods. At night, he heard a strange growling sound. Looking out of his tent, he saw a large, shadowy figure with glowing eyes. He was so scared that he stayed in his tent all night. In the morning, there were huge paw prints outside. Another story is about a fisherman who saw a strange sea creature with long tentacles and a huge, bulbous head. It swam right under his boat and made the boat shake. The last one was a hiker who encountered a human - like creature covered in fur in a remote mountain area. It stared at him for a while before disappearing into the bushes.

A group of friends held a Halloween party at a rented cottage. In the middle of the party, one of the friends went to the attic to get some extra decorations. There, he saw a little girl's ghost sitting in the corner. She was crying silently. He ran back downstairs in terror. After some research, they learned that a girl had died in that attic many years ago. The presence of the party might have stirred up her spirit, making her visible on that Halloween night.

When I was at the beach, a large jellyfish washed up near me. I didn't notice it at first and almost touched it. Its long tentacles looked really menacing. I immediately moved away, thinking about how painful its sting could be.

Since we don't know the exact nature of these '2017 ghost stories', it's difficult to determine their scariness. Some might be based on real - life experiences which could make them more terrifying as they seem more believable. Others could be fictional stories that use common horror techniques to create fear. Some might be scary to those who are easily spooked by the supernatural, while others might not find them so bad.

It depends. Some might find them extremely scary as ghost stories often play on our fears of the unknown and the supernatural. If these stories are well - written and full of suspense, they could be terrifying.
