There is a tale from a hospital. In the old, abandoned wing, there was a toilet that was said to be haunted. Nurses would hear moaning coming from the bathroom at night. One brave nurse went to check it out. When she looked into the toilet, she saw a face looking back at her, a face full of pain and sorrow. It was rumored that a patient had died on the toilet in that wing long ago and his spirit remained there.
A hiker once told me about his experience. He was in the mountains and found a small, hidden cave. Inside the cave, there was a natural 'toilet - like' formation. As he was using it, he felt a sudden chill. He looked up and saw what looked like a human figure made of mist hovering above him. He quickly got up and ran out of the cave, and he never went back there again.
I heard a story where a family moved into a new house. The bathroom always had a strange smell, like rotting something. Whenever they flushed the toilet, it would make a gurgling noise as if something was trying to come up. One day, the daughter was in the bathroom and she saw a black hand reaching out from the toilet bowl. She screamed and they never used that bathroom again.
I heard about a situation at a zoo. One of the monkeys was constipated for days. When it finally pooped, all the other monkeys were jumping around it like it was a big celebration. The zookeepers were also very relieved and amused by the monkeys' reaction.
A friend told me about a neighbor who would leave creepy notes on their door. The notes were full of strange symbols and threats. It was so scary that they had to move out in the end.
I heard a story where a person was about to get on a plane. But they had this gut - wrenching feeling that something bad would happen if they boarded. They didn't go. Later, that plane crashed. It's really scary how their intuition could have sensed something so terrible.
One of the scariest is when a cloud service provider had a major outage. Many businesses relying on their services were left in the lurch. Their websites went down, and they couldn't access important data stored in the cloud. It showed how vulnerable businesses are when they put all their digital eggs in one basket.
A really scary military story is about a ship at sea. The crew started experiencing strange electrical glitches and then saw apparitions on the deck. It was a military vessel that had a history of some violent incidents in the past, and it seemed like the spirits of those who died were still lingering.
I heard about a man who was on a long bus journey. He didn't want to use the bus toilet for some reason. When the bus finally stopped at a rest area, he rushed out. But in his hurry, he tripped and fell flat on his face right in front of the public toilet door, and then couldn't hold it any longer. It was really funny and everyone on the bus was talking about it for days.
I heard of a Holi horror story where a woman's white dress got completely ruined by some boys who threw not just colored powder but also muddy water at her. She was humiliated and felt very scared as she was all alone and they were being very aggressive. It was a horrible experience for her during what should have been a festive time.
The scariest one I've heard was about a guy who would break into people's houses at night and just stand at the foot of their beds watching them sleep. He never stole anything or hurt them physically, but the idea of someone just standing there in the dark is terrifying.
I heard about a waterpark where a person almost drowned in the main pool. The lifeguards were slow to react as they were chatting among themselves. It was a really close call and the victim was in the water gasping for air for what felt like an eternity before help finally arrived.
There's a story about a hospital. In the old wing, patients would report seeing a doctor with a bloody scalpel, but when they called for help, the figure would disappear. It turns out a doctor had gone mad there years ago and killed several patients. His evil presence still lingers.
