Living in Upstate NY Horror Stories: What are some of the scariest experiences people have had?

Yes, there are. Some people claim to have seen strange apparitions near old cemeteries. They say they saw figures that seemed to be floating and disappearing into thin air. It's really spooky.

Once in Upstate NY winter, I saw a squirrel trying to slide down a snow - covered roof like it was a ski slope. It lost its balance halfway and tumbled into a snow pile. It was so hilarious as it popped out of the snow all disheveled.

I heard of a hostel where the showers were absolutely filthy. There was mold everywhere and the water had a strange smell. People were afraid to use them for fear of getting sick. Also, there was a case where a person's belongings were stolen from their locked locker in the hostel. The management didn't seem to take it seriously and didn't do much to help the victim. It was really a horrible experience for that traveler.

One horror story could be getting lost in the narrow, ancient alleyways at night. The dimly lit and maze - like streets can make one feel very vulnerable. There are also stories of haunted places in Cairo. For example, some old abandoned buildings are said to have strange noises and apparitions. People claim to have seen shadowy figures moving around, which gives a very spooky feeling.

A funny story is when the snow was so deep that cars were getting stuck everywhere. One car had its bumper completely buried in the snow. The driver got out and was trying to dig it out with a tiny shovel. It was like a losing battle but looked so comical.

One horror story could be about strange noises at night. People living there might hear unexplained creaking or banging sounds, which can be really scary, especially when you're alone at home.

One dentist shared a horror story about a patient who came in with an extreme toothache. When they examined the tooth, they found a live bug had made its home inside. It was really disgusting and unexpected.

One rider shared a horror story about getting on a bus late at night. There was a really strange - looking man sitting at the back. He kept staring at the rider with a creepy grin. As the journey went on, the man started mumbling to himself in a language the rider couldn't understand. It was really unsettling.

There are stories of haunted mansions in upstate NY. For instance, the Belhurst Castle. People have reported seeing strange apparitions, like a lady in white. It could be the spirit of someone who had a tragic end there in the past. Some visitors have also heard unexplained noises, like footsteps and whispers in the empty halls.

Well, I heard about a situation where a man's BPD girlfriend would often threaten self - harm when they had an argument. It was really terrifying for him. She also had a tendency to isolate him from his friends and family. She would make him feel guilty if he wanted to spend time with others, claiming that he didn't love her enough. This kind of controlling behavior is quite common in some of these horror stories.
