Sure. There's the story of the Winchester Mystery House. It was continuously built in a very strange and convoluted way by Sarah Winchester.

Yes. There is a story inspired by a real - life incident in a forest area. Some locals reported seeing a strange, glowing figure in the forest at night. It was said to move in an unnatural way.

Well, there's a story where a person wakes up in the middle of the night feeling a heavy weight on their chest. They can't move or scream.

Another is 'A Silent Voice'. It takes on the serious issue of bullying and redemption.

The story is complex and beautifully told, exploring themes of forgiveness and self - acceptance.

Often, real - life fears inspired those who wrote horror stories. For instance, the fear of the unknown, like what lies in the dark or in uncharted places. This could be translated into stories about haunted houses or strange creatures from the deep sea.

The true story of the Roanoke Colony disappearance might have influenced American Horror Story 6. The mystery of what happened to the colonists in Roanoke has fascinated people for centuries.

The show might have combined the elements of a cult's secrecy and the fear associated with it to create some of the storylines in season 6.
