What are some of the scariest stories you've ever heard?

There was a story of a bar where every night at midnight, the glasses on the shelf would start to shake on their own. Patrons noticed it and started to avoid the bar. It was said that the place was built on an old burial ground, and the spirits were not happy with the noise and revelry. The bar eventually had to close down due to lack of business.

The scariest fact I've heard is that there are parasites that can control the minds of their hosts. For example, the hairworm can make its cricket host jump into water, which is suicidal for the cricket but necessary for the hairworm to reproduce. A scary story? There was a story about a doll that was possessed. It was found in an old attic. The family who took it in started experiencing strange things. Their pets would growl at the doll, and at night, they could hear it whispering things they couldn't understand.

A scary war time story is that of the civilians in Stalingrad. During the battle, they were trapped in the city. There was no food, no heat, and constant shelling. People were dying in the streets, and families were torn apart. The desperation and the inhumane conditions they faced were truly the stuff of nightmares. The city became a hell on earth, and the civilians had to endure so much just to survive.

Well, there's this one about a woman who was followed by a ghostly figure every night. No matter where she went, it was always there. Super creepy!

I've heard of a person who went for a hike in a remote area. They got lost and as night fell, they started to see strange lights moving around them. They tried to call for help but there was no signal. It was a terrifying experience until they were finally found the next day.

A friend told me a story. He was on a plane and suddenly the plane started shaking violently. The lights flickered and there was a strange smell. Everyone was panicking. Thankfully, the pilots managed to get it under control, but it was a terrifying experience for him. He said he never wanted to fly again for a while.

A friend told me about a neighbor who would leave creepy notes on their door. The notes were full of strange symbols and threats. It was so scary that they had to move out in the end.

I heard a story where a family moved into a new house. The bathroom always had a strange smell, like rotting something. Whenever they flushed the toilet, it would make a gurgling noise as if something was trying to come up. One day, the daughter was in the bathroom and she saw a black hand reaching out from the toilet bowl. She screamed and they never used that bathroom again.

I heard a story where a person was about to get on a plane. But they had this gut - wrenching feeling that something bad would happen if they boarded. They didn't go. Later, that plane crashed. It's really scary how their intuition could have sensed something so terrible.

One of the scariest is when a cloud service provider had a major outage. Many businesses relying on their services were left in the lurch. Their websites went down, and they couldn't access important data stored in the cloud. It showed how vulnerable businesses are when they put all their digital eggs in one basket.
