One time, I took a shortcut through an alley at night. It was really dark. Suddenly, a cat jumped out of a dumpster, scaring me half to death. But then I heard heavy footsteps behind me. I started running and didn't stop until I reached a well - lit street. I still don't know if it was just my imagination or something more sinister.
I worked the night shift once. The power went out suddenly in one of the hallways. As I was trying to find the fuse box, I heard strange noises coming from an empty room. It sounded like someone was scratching on the walls. I was too scared to go in and check. I just called the maintenance guy and waited for him in a well - lit area.
One of the scariest ghost encounter stories I've heard was from a friend who stayed in an old, abandoned mansion for a dare. He said he saw a figure of a woman in a white dress just floating in the hallway at midnight. It was so real that he froze in fear and couldn't move until the figure disappeared. He was so terrified that he ran out of the mansion immediately and never went back.
My experience was in an old library. I was looking for a rare book when I noticed a section of the library that was extremely cold. As I approached, the books on the shelves seemed to shift on their own. I could swear I saw words moving on the spines of some of the books. It was like the library was alive and trying to communicate or keep me away. I never went back to that section again.
I had a nightmare where I was being chased by a faceless figure. When I woke up, I could still feel its presence in my room. It was so real that I was too afraid to move for hours.
Once, I was alone in an old, creaky house. As I walked through the dimly lit hallway, I heard strange scratching noises from the attic. My skin began to crawl. When I slowly opened the attic door, a cold gust of wind hit me. There, in the corner, I saw a pair of glowing eyes. I froze in fear, not knowing what it could be. It was the most terrifying moment of my life.
One horror story I heard was about an adult at work who constantly undermined a new colleague. He would spread false rumors about her work ethic and made her feel so isolated that she almost quit. It was a form of bullying that affected her mental health greatly.
One of my worst period cramps horror stories was when I was in the middle of an important exam. The cramps hit me suddenly and it felt like my abdomen was being stabbed repeatedly. I could barely concentrate on the questions and ended up having a really poor performance. It was so frustrating because I had studied hard but my body just wouldn't cooperate that day.
One of the worst poop horror stories I've heard was from a friend who was traveling. He had eaten some really bad street food and suddenly got an urgent need to go. But the public restroom he found was so dirty and smelly that he almost threw up while trying to use it. He said it was the most disgusting and difficult poop experience he ever had.
One horror story I heard was when the best man lost the wedding rings right before the ceremony. He had put them in a 'safe' place which he then couldn't remember. There was chaos as everyone searched for the rings and the ceremony was delayed.
I had a conch piercing horror myself. I got it done at a cheap place. The equipment didn't seem very clean. A few days later, I noticed a strange smell and the area was really hot to the touch. It was an infection. I had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics. It was a nightmare.
