There's a story of a girl who found a strange doll in the street during the Day of the Dead celebrations. She took it home because it looked so unique. But that night, she started having nightmares of the doll coming to life and chasing her. The doll would be in different places in the house every morning. Eventually, she threw the doll away in a far - off place, but she still feels a shiver when she thinks about it.
A really terrifying one is the story of a man who, during the Day of the Dead, woke up in the middle of the night to find a skeletal hand reaching out from under his bed. He tried to scream but no sound came out. He managed to scramble out of the room and when he returned with others, there was nothing there. But the fear stayed with him for a long time.
I heard about a group of friends who visited an old cemetery on the Day of the Dead to pay their respects. While they were there, they heard a song that sounded like it was from a long - forgotten time. They followed the sound and came across a woman in a white dress. As they got closer, they realized she had no face. They all ran away in panic. It was later said that she was the spirit of someone who was never properly honored during the Day of the Dead.
I heard about a backlot where a fire had broken out during filming long ago. Years later, people working on the backlot at night said they could still smell the faint odor of smoke and hear the screams of the actors who were supposedly trapped in the fire that day. It was really terrifying.
One of the scariest is the story of a teenager who got a Snapchat message from an unknown user. The message showed a picture of his own bedroom, but he was alone in the house. He immediately ran out of the house in fear.
The scariest dog story I've heard was about a hound in the woods. Hunters would often see it in the distance, but when they got closer, it would disappear. One day, a hunter got lost in the woods and that dog started following him. The hunter could hear its heavy breathing and the sound of its paws on the leaves, but every time he turned around, there was nothing. It drove him to the brink of madness.
There's a story of a group of friends who explored an old asylum in NYC. As they walked through the dark hallways, they heard voices whispering and doors slamming on their own. They also saw scratches on the walls that seemed to form strange symbols. It was as if the place was haunted by the tortured souls of the patients who were once there. They ran out as fast as they could and some of them still have nightmares about it. The asylum has a really dark history of inhumane treatments and many people died there, which might be the reason for all the spooky happenings.
A really terrifying one is about a fishing crew that went out during a full moon. They noticed a strange light following them. As it got closer, they saw it was a ghostly figure of a man with a large fishing net. His eyes were hollow, and he was moaning. They tried to outrun it, but it seemed to be everywhere they turned. Eventually, they made it back to shore, shaken and swearing never to go out at night during a full moon again.
I heard of an rci horror story in a smart home setting. The rci system that controlled all the home appliances went haywire. Lights were flashing on and off randomly, the stove turned on by itself, and the doors started locking and unlocking. The family living there was terrified, especially when they couldn't stop it. They had to call in experts to completely reset and reinstall the system to make their home safe again.
I've heard of a Zoom horror story where someone joined a call and there was a voice that no one else could hear coming from their device. It was like a whispering voice that was saying things that made no sense.
One really terrifying coroner horror story involves a body that was brought in after a supposed accident. But as the coroner examined it, they realized that there were signs of torture that were carefully hidden. The more they dug into the case, the more they realized that there was some sort of dark conspiracy involved. The thought of such evil lurking beneath what seemed like a normal case was truly frightening for the coroner.
A ferryboat capsized during a storm. Passengers were trapped inside as the boat filled with water. There was panic and chaos as people tried to find a way out. Many drowned, and those who managed to swim out had to fight the rough seas. It was a nightmare for all those involved, and the families of the victims were left heartbroken.
A really terrifying one was when a pilot had a bird strike that damaged both engines. The plane lost power and started to plummet. The pilot had to glide the plane towards what he hoped was a safe landing area. It was a race against time and gravity. Luckily, he managed to find a large open field and landed the plane with only minor injuries to the passengers.
