What are some truly terrifying scary stories?

Well, there's the classic story of the woman in white who haunts abandoned houses. People claim to see her and feel an icy presence.

A really spooky sleepwalking story involves an elderly man. He would sleepwalk to the cemetery near his house. His family didn't know at first. One day, they found him there, sitting beside an old grave, murmuring something they couldn't understand. It was so creepy. Another instance is of a person who sleepwalked into a neighbor's house. The neighbor was shocked to find this stranger in their living room in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the sleepwalker didn't cause any harm.

One story could be about a haunted video game. A player starts a new game and strange glitches occur. Characters move on their own and the environment changes in a spooky way. It turns out the game was based on a real - life haunted place, and the spirits are now messing with the player through the game.

There is a story from a military base. Soldiers on patrol saw a series of small, glowing UFOs flying in formation. They were ordered not to engage, but as the UFOs got closer, they could feel an intense heat. Some of the soldiers reported seeing strange symbols on the side of the UFOs. This incident was kept classified for a long time, adding to the mystery and terror of it.

One scary Fleshgait story is about a hiker in the woods. He heard strange noises that sounded like something was walking on all fours but with an odd, jerky motion. As he turned around, he saw a figure that seemed to be made of shifting flesh, with eyes that glowed in the dark. It moved towards him at an inhuman speed, and he barely escaped by running deeper into the forest.

One scary priest story is about a priest in an old, abandoned church. People claimed to see him late at night, wandering the aisles with a strange glow. It was said that he was a priest who had committed a great sin during his life and was now doomed to haunt the church. His figure was always seen as a shadowy apparition, and his presence was accompanied by a cold chill that made people run away in fear.

Well, for me, what makes a scary story really terrifying is when it plays on our deepest fears. Like the fear of death or the loss of a loved one. Stories that involve a loved one turning into something evil or being in danger are often very scary. And the atmosphere is crucial too. If the story can create a really creepy atmosphere, like a fog - filled graveyard at midnight, it'll be terrifying.

One scary Halloween ghost story is about the headless horseman. Legend has it that he rides through the night on Halloween, chasing those who dare to be out late. His horse's hooves make a terrifying sound as he races towards his victims. Another is the story of the woman in white who haunts an old mansion. She was jilted at the altar and now wanders the halls, her wailing can be heard on Halloween nights.

One really scary graveyard shift story is about a nurse working the night shift in an old hospital. She heard strange noises coming from the empty wards. When she went to check, she saw a shadowy figure that disappeared as soon as she got closer. Another one is a security guard's experience at a cemetery during graveyard shift. He saw a figure in white hovering over a grave and then it vanished into thin air.

A friend of mine had a scary experience with Ambien. After taking it, they became extremely disoriented. They called the wrong people in the middle of the night, saying all sorts of strange things. They also had a sense of panic like something bad was going to happen. It took a while for them to feel normal again after that incident. Ambien can have some unpredictable and scary side effects.
