What are some french drain horror stories?

One horror story is about a child getting their hair or limb stuck in a pool drain. The powerful suction can cause serious injury. For example, a little girl's long hair got wrapped around the drain and she was trapped underwater until someone noticed and turned off the pump.

I've heard of a case where the french drain was installed without a proper filter or gravel layer around the pipe. Soil and silt got into the pipe easily. As the pipe clogged, water couldn't drain away from the foundation. The foundation became waterlogged, and within a few years, there were major cracks. The homeowners had to deal with not only the foundation repair but also the cost of re - landscaping their yard because the whole area around the foundation was a mess. It was a long and expensive process to get everything fixed.

There are stories of a phantom jazz musician. Legend has it that in a certain alley in the French Quarter, late at night, you can hear the faint sound of a saxophone playing a melancholic tune. But when you go to look, there's no one there. It's said to be the ghost of a talented musician who met a tragic end in that very alley.

In French horror stories, 'The Phantom of the Opera' is also quite famous. Although it has been adapted into many forms, the original story has elements of horror. The disfigured Phantom lurking in the catacombs beneath the opera house, his obsession with the beautiful soprano Christine, all create a spooky and somewhat terrifying atmosphere.

One horror story is about the extremely harsh training. Recruits are pushed to their physical and mental limits. In the desert training, they have to endure searing heat, lack of water, and sleep deprivation. Some recruits have suffered from heatstroke and dehydration, and the unforgiving environment can make a person feel like they are in a living hell.

One horror story is about a breeder who kept the dogs in extremely cramped and dirty cages. The puppies were constantly sick due to the unhygienic conditions. Another is a breeder who lied about the health of the parents. They sold puppies with genetic problems, and the new owners had to face huge vet bills.

One horror story was the Reign of Terror. Mass executions took place. People were beheaded by the guillotine just for being suspected of being against the revolutionary regime. Innocent aristocrats and even commoners who were wrongly accused faced this brutal end.

Sure. There was a story where a young boy was playing near a pool drain. His small finger got sucked into it. He screamed in pain as the suction was so strong. It took quite an effort to get his finger out and he had to be treated for a bad bruise.

The most terrifying element is the unexpected appearance. Just when you think it's safe, the drain girl pops out from the dark, dank drain. It gives you a huge shock.

One horror story could be about a student on an exchange in France who got lost in a very old and confusing part of Paris while trying to find their host family's home. They didn't have a working phone at the time and no one around seemed to speak English. It was a very scary experience as it was getting dark and they had all their luggage with them.
