What are some spine - chilling true horror stories from mental asylums?

One such story is about a patient who constantly claimed to see a shadow figure in the corner of his room. At night, he would scream and beg for it to go away. The nurses thought it was just his delusion, but one night, a nurse saw a strange dark shape herself while passing by his room. It sent chills down her spine. No one could ever explain what it was.

One horror story is about a patient who was constantly heard screaming at night in an old mental asylum. The nurses would find his room empty but still hear the screams. It turned out that a former patient had died in that room under mysterious circumstances long ago, and the current patient was somehow sensitive to the negative energy left behind.

The story of the Queen Mary ship is also terrifying. There have been numerous reports of ghosts on the ship. People claim to see the apparitions of sailors who died on board. Cold spots and unexplained noises are common occurrences. It's as if the ship still holds the spirits of those who once served on it.

A common horror story is the appearance of apparitions. In one asylum, a janitor saw a figure in old - fashioned patient clothing walking through a locked door. He was so scared that he quit his job immediately. The place was known for having a high death rate in the past, and it seems those who passed away still linger there.

One user shared that they were in an old, abandoned building exploring. As they walked through the dark corridors, they heard a child crying. They followed the sound but could never find the source. It was so eery. Later, they learned that the building was once an orphanage where a child had died in a fire. Whether it was a ghost or just their mind playing tricks, it was a truly scary encounter.

A student found a diary in an old classroom. The diary told the story of a previous student who was bullied to the point of despair. The bullied student had written about how they were constantly harassed and how they planned revenge. After reading it, the student who found the diary started to have nightmares about being chased by the vengeful spirit of that bullied student.

A really scary one is about a hiker who got lost in the woods. As night fell, he saw a light in the distance. He walked towards it, thinking it was a cabin. But when he got closer, it was a figure holding a lantern with no face. The hiker ran, but the figure just floated after him, getting closer and closer.

One spine - chilling story is of a lone driver who was driving on a foggy highway. He saw a childlike figure on the side of the road waving for help. When he stopped, the figure vanished. Then, as he started driving again, he heard scratching noises on the car roof. Another is about a group of friends driving on a long highway trip. They kept seeing the same old - fashioned car pass them at high speed, but when they reached their destination, they found out that the model of that car had been discontinued for decades.

There's a story of a family that moved into a new neighborhood. Their son started to talk about his 'new friend' who he said lived in the attic. But when they went to check the attic, it was empty except for some old, dusty boxes. The son continued to have conversations with this 'friend' and strange things started to happen in the house, like objects moving on their own. It was a very disturbing situation for the family.

The unknown is a major spine - chilling aspect. In many strange but true horror stories, like the Enfield Poltergeist case, there are things that can't be easily explained. Objects moving on their own, voices coming from nowhere. It's that sense of not knowing what's causing it that scares people.
