My roommate once brought home a stray cat without telling me. I'm allergic to cats. When I came back to our room, my eyes started watering and I was sneezing non - stop. I was really mad at him at first. But he felt so bad about it and found a new home for the cat quickly. It was a scary situation for me health - wise though.
There was a period when my roommate seemed really secretive. He would always close the door when he was in the room and would make strange noises. I started to worry that he was doing something illegal. One day, I finally asked him. It turned out he was trying to learn magic tricks and was practicing sleight of hand in secret. It was a huge relief, but it was quite a spooky time before that.
One time my roommate was always leaving the lights on. So I taped a motion - sensitive alarm near the light switch. Every time he went to turn it on, the alarm went off and scared him half to death.
A friend of mine told me a story about a traveling circus. There was a clown in the circus who was known to be a bit off. One night, he chased a group of kids who were trying to peek into the circus tents after hours. The kids ran for their lives and said the clown had a wild look in his eyes and was laughing maniacally as he chased them.
Once, my neighbor always stared at me through his window at odd hours. It was really creepy. Every time I passed by his house, I could feel his eyes on me. One night, I heard strange noises coming from his yard. I peeked through the fence and saw him digging a large hole in the middle of the night. I was so scared that I called the police. Turns out he was just burying some old stuff, but it was still a very scary experience.
One truly scary witch story I heard was about a witch who haunted an old, abandoned house in the woods. People who dared to enter at night would hear strange cackling and see shadowy figures. It was said that she was a witch who was wronged in the past and was seeking revenge on those who trespassed her territory.
One of the scariest cabin stories I heard was about a group of friends who rented a remote cabin. At night, they heard strange scratching noises on the walls. They thought it was an animal at first, but then the noises got louder and more persistent. Eventually, they saw a shadowy figure outside the window. They were so terrified that they locked themselves in a room until morning and left the cabin as soon as they could.
Well, my roommate was obsessed with horror movies and would watch them all night with the sound really loud. The creepy sounds and screams from the movies would keep me awake and made me feel really scared. I was afraid that his love for horror stuff might make him do something strange. He was always in this kind of dark mood after watching those movies.
My former roommate was extremely noisy at night. They would stay up late watching movies without using headphones. I could hardly sleep because of the constant sound of explosions and gunshots from their action movies. I tried to talk to them about it, but they thought it was no big deal.
One time I was staying at an old hotel. At night, I heard strange creaking sounds. I thought it was just the old building settling. But then I saw a shadowy figure pass by my door. I was so scared I couldn't move. I just hid under the covers until morning.
Well, one story could be about meeting someone who seemed normal at first but later turned out to have a really creepy obsession. Maybe they started showing up at places unannounced after just a few Tinder conversations.
One of the scariest true ghost stories I've heard was from a friend who lived in an old house. She would often hear strange noises at night, like footsteps in the empty hallway. One night, she saw a shadowy figure pass by her bedroom door. She was so terrified that she couldn't move. Later, she found out that a person had died in that house many years ago under mysterious circumstances.
