There's a rest stop where a group of friends stopped on a road trip. They decided to explore a bit since it was a large rest stop. One of them went into an abandoned building on the site. He didn't come back for a while. When the others went to look for him, they heard his screams from inside. But when they entered, there was no one there. They ran out of the building and as they were leaving the rest stop, they saw his face in one of the windows, looking terrified, but when they went back to check, there was still no one there. It's a mystery that many believe is due to a ghost at the rest stop.
A really terrifying rest stop ghost story involves a bus that stopped there late at night. All the passengers were asleep except for one. That passenger saw a white - haired woman floating outside the bus window. She seemed to be looking at each of the sleeping passengers one by one. Then she vanished. But when the bus left, it had engine problems and the driver said he felt like something was trying to hold the bus back, as if the ghost didn't want them to leave.
The scariest one I know is about a man who stopped at a very old rest stop in the middle of nowhere. He went into the men's room and as he was using the urinal, he heard a voice whispering his name. He thought it was just his imagination at first. But then when he turned around, he saw a pair of red eyes in the dark corner of the bathroom. He ran out as fast as he could, but his car wouldn't start. He was stranded there with that terrifying presence. He called for help but no one came for hours, all the while feeling that something was lurking just outside his car.
The unexpected appearances are really scary. Like the phantom hitchhiker suddenly showing up by the roadside and then vanishing when you stop. It gives you a shock.

A student in a dorm once woke up in the middle of the night to see a white figure floating above his roommate's bed. He was so scared that he couldn't move or make a sound. When he finally managed to turn on the light, the figure was gone and his roommate was still sound asleep.
The scariest I know is of a teacher who hanged herself in the school attic. Ever since, people would hear strange sobbing sounds coming from there.

It's terrifying because it makes you wonder what else might be in that abandoned house.
