Really Scary Urban Legend Stories: Share Some.

There's a story of a subway tunnel. Late at night, a man was waiting for the last train. As the train approached, he saw a figure on the tracks that looked like a girl in a white dress. But when the train passed, there was no one there. The next day, he heard that a girl had died in that tunnel years ago and her spirit is still lingering, waiting for someone to save her.

One reason is that they can happen to anyone. Urban legends don't target a specific group; they are about ordinary people in ordinary situations. For instance, the story of the haunted doll could happen to someone who just bought an old doll from a thrift store. There's also the psychological aspect. Our minds are wired to be afraid of the abnormal and the dangerous. Urban legends often present situations that are both abnormal (like a half - rat man) and dangerous (he might attack you). The lack of a clear resolution in these stories also adds to the chill. We're left wondering what would happen if we were in that situation, and that uncertainty is terrifying.

There's the story of Bloody Mary. If you go into a bathroom with the lights off, say her name three times in front of a mirror, she'll appear. Some say she was a witch who was killed brutally, and now she haunts those who dare to summon her. It's really creepy as it plays on our fear of the dark and the unknown in a very confined space like a bathroom.

The Chupacabra is a well - known urban legend. It's a creature that is said to attack livestock, especially goats, and drain their blood. In many Hispanic communities in urban and rural areas, there have been reported sightings. People claim to have seen a small, dog - like creature with spines on its back and large fangs. These sightings have led to many spooky tales passed down through generations.

The La Llorona is a very scary urban legend. It is about a weeping woman who wanders near rivers and lakes. In the legend, she was a mother who drowned her children in a fit of rage after being spurned by her lover. Now she is doomed to roam, crying and looking for her lost children. Another one is the Bunny Man. Supposedly, in a certain area, a man in a bunny suit with an axe has been seen attacking people. And the Mothman is also quite famous. It's described as a large, humanoid creature with wings and glowing red eyes, often sighted before disasters in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

There's also the story of Bloody Mary. Legend has it that if you go into a dark bathroom, light some candles, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times while looking into the mirror, a ghostly figure will appear. It may have originated from tales of a woman named Mary who was wronged and now haunts those who summon her. This one preys on our fear of the supernatural and the power of superstition.

One well - known Japanese urban legend is 'Teke - Teke'. It's about a female spirit who was cut in half by a train. She now moves around on her hands, making a 'teke - teke' sound as she drags her upper body, and she is said to prey on those she encounters at night.

One really scary story is about a haunted house. People who entered it at night would hear strange whispers and see shadowy figures. Lights would flicker on and off by themselves. There was an old legend that a family was brutally murdered in that house long ago, and their spirits were trapped there, seeking revenge on anyone who dared to enter.

In a small town, there was an old, abandoned mansion on the outskirts. Every Christmas Eve, a strange light could be seen in one of the attic windows. One curious boy decided to investigate. As he entered the mansion, it was freezing cold. He heard the sound of Christmas carols playing backwards. Suddenly, a ghostly figure of an old man appeared, holding a bloody ax. It was said that the man had gone mad one Christmas long ago and killed his entire family, and his spirit was doomed to relive that horror every Christmas.

One really scary demonic story is about the haunted house on Elm Street. People say that at midnight, you can see shadowy figures moving in the windows. The walls seem to ooze a strange black substance, and there are always cold spots in the rooms. Screams have been heard coming from the attic, and those who dare to enter often report a feeling of being watched by an unseen, malevolent presence.
