What are the scariest elements in urban stealth camping horror stories?
The lack of safety. Urban areas have their own dangers like traffic, criminals, and unexpected construction. When you're stealth camping, you might be setting up near a busy road where a drunk driver could veer off, or in an area where there are gangs. Also, the buildings around you could be structurally unsound. There was a story where a camper's tent was almost crushed by a falling piece of a dilapidated building during a windy night.
The unknown. In the city, there could be all sorts of things lurking in the shadows. Maybe it's an abandoned building with a dark past or a hidden underground space. You don't know what you might stumble upon. It could be a homeless person with malicious intent or some kind of supernatural presence. Like in one story, a camper found a hidden basement in an old building he was camping near, and when he went down, he felt an overwhelming sense of dread for no obvious reason.
