What are the most well - known scary country stories?

A popular Alaska scary story involves the old mining towns. Many of these towns were abandoned long ago, but locals say that at night, the spirits of the miners who died in accidents or from the harsh living conditions still roam the streets. You can supposedly feel a cold presence and hear the faint sounds of pickaxes and mining carts in the ghostly silence of these forgotten places.

A well - known one is the haunted stadium story. A stadium that was built on an old burial ground. People say that during night games, or when the stadium is empty, you can hear faint screams and see strange apparitions. Some players have refused to play there after having strange experiences.

Another well - known one is about the haunted cemetery. People claim to have seen strange lights and figures floating among the tombstones. Some say they've even been touched by cold, unseen hands while walking through it.

The story of the Lost Battalion is another. Trapped behind enemy lines, they were cut off from supplies and support. They had to fight off the enemy while slowly starving and running out of ammunition. The sense of isolation and impending doom in that situation made it a truly scary story of WW1.

There's a story about a BTS member feeling an 'unusual presence' during a late - night practice session. However, considering they often practice for long hours and get tired, it could have been just a momentary hallucination. They were in a big empty practice room, and the silence and exhaustion might have made their minds play tricks on them. Maybe the lack of proper ventilation made them a bit dizzy too, and they misinterpreted that feeling as something spooky.

The Bermuda Triangle is a well - known one. It's a region in the ocean where many ships and planes have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Some believe there are strange natural phenomena like magnetic anomalies that cause these disappearances.

One of the more famous stories is about the cursed lake. The water in this lake is always cold, even in the middle of summer. There are rumors that a group of settlers angered a local spirit long ago, and as a result, the lake has been a place of misfortune. Boats have mysteriously capsized and swimmers have felt unseen hands pulling them under.

The Loch Ness Monster is a well - known one. Although Loch Ness is a lake, it's still an underwater mystery. People claim to have seen a large, long - necked creature in the waters. Another is the story of the sunken city of Atlantis. It's said that there are strange and spooky things happening around the ruins underwater.

The story of the Churel is quite well - known. A Churel is a female spirit in Indian superstition. It is said that a woman who dies during childbirth or under other tragic circumstances can turn into a Churel. She is often described as having long, unkempt hair, wearing a white sari, and having her feet turned backwards. Churel are believed to haunt the places they were attached to in life, and they can bring bad luck or harm to those who cross their path.

The story of the vampire has a connection to medieval times. There were accounts of people rising from the dead and preying on the living. These vampires were often associated with dark magic and were feared greatly. Some tales said they could not enter a home without being invited, which added an extra layer of spookiness.
