There was a man who often had a nightmare of being in a dark forest. The trees were gnarled and seemed to reach out to him like twisted arms. He could hear howls in the distance.

Well, I've heard of a real nightmare story where a man found himself in an abandoned house. As he walked through the halls, the doors would slam shut behind him on their own.

And then there was a story of a woman who dreamed she was being chased by a faceless figure through a maze of endless corridors. She was so terrified that she woke up sweating.

There was an asylum where the lights would flicker constantly. One night, a new nurse was on duty. She saw a figure in the hallway, but when she blinked, it was gone. Then she heard a child crying. There were no children in the asylum. She was so scared that she quit the next day. Another story is about an asylum that had a locked room. When they finally opened it, they found old medical records and a doll with a creepy face, and after that, strange things started to happen all over the asylum.
Well, I heard of a case where a customer had a seamless service with Xfinity for years. But when they switched to DirecTV, they had trouble with their remote control. It just wouldn't work properly no matter what they did. They called customer service multiple times, but the representatives were not very helpful. They were given different instructions each time, none of which worked. In the end, they just gave up on using some of the advanced features of the DirecTV service because of the faulty remote.

It was a long and terrifying process for her to get her life back to normal.
One scary exorcism story is about a haunted house. People living there heard strange noises at night, like whispers and screams. Objects would move on their own.
