In 'Peter Pan', Captain Hook is haunted by the crocodile that ate his hand. The tick - tock sound of the crocodile approaching is a very scary element. It represents an inescapable doom for Hook. And in the background of Neverland, there are some shadowy areas that could potentially hide other spooky things. This all adds to the overall sense of unease and danger in the story. Moreover, the idea that the Lost Boys are stuck in Neverland and can't grow up has a somewhat dark undertone, as if they are trapped in a limbo between life and death.

The threat of nuclear annihilation was the scariest. Both the United States and the Soviet Union had huge arsenals of nuclear weapons.

Sure. There was a hospice where the lights in the hallways would flicker constantly at a certain time of the night. It was as if there was some kind of electrical problem, but the electricians could never find anything wrong. Some people thought it might be a sign of something supernatural.

The patient would shiver and the nurses would bring extra blankets, but they couldn't figure out why it was happening.

Sure. A pg scary story could be about a doll. This doll has a cracked porcelain face and lifeless glass eyes. It was found in an attic of an old house. Every night, it seems to move on its own. The family who found it starts experiencing strange events. Doors open and close by themselves, and cold drafts sweep through the rooms. It gives the feeling that the doll has some sort of malevolent energy attached to it.

The unknown factor makes scary disappearance stories so chilling. When people vanish without a trace, like in the case of the Roanoke Colony, our minds start to race with all kinds of possibilities.

In the Aokigahara Forest, not only are there the disturbing stories of suicides, but also hikers have reported getting lost easily because of the disorienting nature of the forest.
