What are the scariest world famous real ghost stories?

A real - life ghost story that sends shivers down the spine is that of the Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana. There are tales of ghosts of slaves and a young girl who was murdered there. Visitors have reported seeing apparitions, feeling cold hands on their shoulders, and hearing the sound of crying in the empty halls.

The Bloody Mary story is quite scary. It's said that if you stand in a dark bathroom, in front of a mirror, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times, a ghostly figure will appear. Many people have been too afraid to try this, fearing the apparition that might show up.

One of the scariest real ghost stories is the Amityville Horror. A family moved into a house where a mass murder had occurred. They reported all kinds of strange phenomena like cold spots, strange noises, and apparitions. Another is the story of the Bell Witch in Tennessee. It was said to be a malevolent spirit that tormented the Bell family, causing physical harm and making terrifying noises.

The Bell Witch Haunting is a very scary real Halloween ghost story. The Bell family in Tennessee was terrorized by a malevolent spirit known as the Bell Witch. It would pull hair, slap people, and make strange noises. It even predicted the death of John Bell. The events were so terrifying that it has become one of the most famous hauntings in American history.

Well, there's a story about an old inn. Guests staying there would experience their beds being shaken in the middle of the night. There were also reports of a crying baby sound, but no babies were around. The innkeepers themselves had seen a misty figure on the stairs on several occasions. This story on NPR gives me the chills just thinking about it.

The scariest might be the Inuit story of the Tupilaq. It was a monster created through dark magic. Shamans would create a Tupilaq out of various materials like animal bones and hair and send it to harm their enemies. It was said to be a terrifying, fast - moving creature that could kill without mercy.

The story of the Aswang is quite terrifying. Aswangs are shape - shifting creatures. They can look like normal humans during the day but at night, they transform into hideous monsters. They are said to prey on pregnant women and their unborn children.

The unknown is the scariest part. In real ghost stories, not knowing what the ghost is or why it's there. For example, in the story of the old house ghost, you don't know the woman's story or what she wants. It could be revenge or just lost and wandering.

The scariest one might be from an asylum where a doctor went on a killing spree. His victims' ghosts are said to haunt the place. People have seen bloodstains on the walls that disappear and reappear. It's a truly terrifying thought that the souls of those he killed are still there.

For the Talbott Tavern's ghost story, the idea of seeing a forlorn, jilted bride in a white dress is quite spooky. The cold spots and faint sobs that guests experience add to the scariness as it gives a sense of the presence of a very unhappy spirit.
