Share your open house horror stories.

One horror story I heard was about a house that had a strange smell during an open house. No matter what, the realtor couldn't get rid of it. Turns out there was a dead rat in the walls. It was really disgusting and made potential buyers run away quickly.

One horror story is when a realtor found out that a previous owner had died in the house under mysterious circumstances right before an open house. The potential buyers could sense an eerie feeling and many left early. It was really hard for the realtor to keep the open house going.

Once I was house sitting for a friend. At night, I heard strange scratching noises from the attic. I was so scared but forced myself to go check. When I opened the attic door, a big rat scurried past me. It was terrifying as I'm really afraid of rats.

One horror story is when burglars used the open house as a chance to case the place. They pretended to be interested buyers, took note of all the valuable items and security weaknesses. Later, the house was robbed. Another is when a realtor found out that some unruly teenagers had a wild party in the open house after hours. They trashed the place, leaving broken furniture and a huge mess.

I heard a story where in a house share, there was a really noisy roommate. He would play loud music late at night, every night. Not only that, but he also had friends over constantly who were equally noisy. The other housemates couldn't get any proper sleep or study in peace. They tried to talk to him, but he just ignored them and continued his inconsiderate behavior.

There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.

There was a house where every time someone took a shower, the water would turn ice - cold suddenly. One girl saw a shadowy figure outside the frosted glass. She screamed and when her family came, the figure was gone. But after that, she was always terrified to take a bath alone in that house. It seemed like there was something sinister lurking in there.

Well, open - ended short stories are really interesting. They leave a lot of room for interpretation. For example, in one of the stories, the ending was left so ambiguous that I couldn't stop thinking about all the possible directions it could have gone. It makes you use your imagination more than a story with a clear - cut ending.

Well, in these open - ended short stories, there could be countless interpretations. Each story might leave room for the reader to fill in the blanks based on their own experiences and beliefs. For example, one story might be about a character at a crossroads, and depending on how you view life, you could imagine them taking different paths, like following their dreams or settling for a more practical option.

I went to an open house where the homeowner had a collection of really odd-looking antique dolls. One of the visitors accidentally knocked over a doll and it made a really strange squeaking noise. Everyone jumped a bit at first, but then we all burst into laughter at how spooky yet funny the situation was.
