Are IT consultancies always a source of horror stories?

Yes, in some cases. Some IT consultancies overpromise and underdeliver. They might take on projects without fully understanding the client's needs, leading to costly mistakes and missed deadlines. There have been instances where they push for unnecessary technologies just to increase the bill.

One secondary source horror story could be the tales passed down about haunted houses. People hear from others about strange noises, apparitions seen in a particular old mansion. Another might be the urban legends that spread through word of mouth or on the internet, like the story of a cursed object. For example, the 'Bloody Mary' legend where people claim that if you say her name three times in front of a mirror in a dark room, something terrifying will happen.

No. Many vaccine horror stories are based on misinformation or coincidence. Just because someone has an adverse event after vaccination doesn't mean it was caused by the vaccine. There could be other underlying health issues or external factors at work.

No. Many reported horror stories are often just that - stories. People might exaggerate things they've experienced, or misinterpret normal events as something spooky. For instance, an old house making settling noises could be mistaken for ghostly activity.

The old balete trees. In Filipino folklore, balete trees are often associated with spirits. Their large, twisted trunks and overhanging branches create an eerie atmosphere, especially at night. It's as if they are watching you as you pass by.

Lack of proper documentation. Without clear docs, new contributors get confused and may introduce bugs. It's like trying to assemble a complex machine without instructions.

The isolation of the casa by the sea can be a major factor. Being far from other inhabited areas means that if something strange happens, help is far away. This sense of being alone in a potentially haunted place can be terrifying.

No. While many are horror - based as the concept of cannibalism is deeply disturbing to most, some can be more of a psychological exploration. They might focus on the human mind's limits and what could drive a person to consider such an act without necessarily being a typical horror story full of jump scares and gore.

Not necessarily. It could be a 9mm - shaped mark that appears on people's skin and is associated with a curse. In this horror story, those who have the mark start to see apparitions and are haunted by their worst fears. The 9mm shape is just the outward sign of the underlying horror that has been unleashed upon them.

No. While some might be based on true events, a lot of them are often exaggerated for the sake of creating a horror effect. Writers may take a small kernel of truth and add fictional elements to make it more spine - chilling.
