There was a case where a justice of the peace was extremely prejudiced. In a domestic violence case, the victim was a woman from a different ethnic group. The justice of the peace, without properly listening to her testimony or looking at the evidence of bruises and hospital reports, dismissed the case just because of his own biases against her ethnicity. This not only left the victim in a dangerous situation but also sent a wrong message about the justice system.
In a small town, there was a justice of the peace who was known for being lazy. He would often rush through hearings without fully understanding the cases. For example, in a business contract dispute, he didn't bother to read through all the contract details. He made a hasty decision that put one of the small business owners at a huge financial disadvantage. The owner had to spend a lot more money on appeals and it almost bankrupted his business.
One horror story could be a justice of the peace who was bribed to rule in favor of a certain party in a land dispute. Instead of following the evidence, they simply took the money and made an unfair decision, causing the rightful owner to lose their land and a great deal of money invested in it.
One horror story could be a justice of the peace who was extremely biased. For example, in a custody battle, instead of fairly considering the evidence about the fitness of each parent, the justice of the peace made a hasty decision based on personal prejudices against one of the parents. This led to a child being placed in an environment that was not in their best interest.
A justice of the peace once had a conflict of interest that he didn't disclose. In a case involving two local businesses, one of which was owned by a relative of the justice of the peace. He ruled in favor of the relative's business, even though the evidence clearly pointed to the other business being in the right. This not only was unjust to the winning business but also damaged the trust of the community in the justice system.
A justice of the peace once presided over a tenant - landlord dispute. The tenant had evidence of the landlord not making necessary repairs as per the lease agreement, and there were even pictures and inspection reports. However, the justice of the peace was friends with the landlord. Without giving proper weight to the evidence, he ruled in favor of the landlord. The tenant was then faced with eviction even though they had done nothing wrong. This not only made the tenant homeless but also set a bad precedent in the local rental community, where landlords felt they could get away with not fulfilling their obligations.
Some Peace Corps horror stories involve housing situations. A volunteer might have been placed in a dilapidated building infested with all sorts of pests. The roof leaked during rainstorms, and there was no proper sanitation. It was not only uncomfortable but also a health hazard, making their stay a nightmare.
One social justice horror story could be when a person of color is wrongly accused of a crime they didn't commit just because of the color of their skin. In the justice system, they face harsher treatment, longer sentences, and more difficulty in proving their innocence compared to white counterparts. This is a horror as it completely violates the principles of fairness and equality in the name of social justice.
One horror story could be about a volunteer being placed in a very remote area with no proper housing. They had to live in a dilapidated shack with a leaking roof and bugs everywhere. It was a constant struggle to keep their belongings dry and stay healthy.
One example could be 'Slender: The Eight Pages'. It mainly focuses on the simple mechanic of collecting pages while being chased by the Slender Man. There's not much of a complex story, just the basic premise of a creepy entity chasing you. Another is 'Amnesia: The Dark Descent'. Some players might consider its story a bit convoluted and hard to follow, which could be seen as a 'bad' story in a sense, although the horror elements are strong. And 'Outlast' is also known for its more action - horror focus rather than having a deeply engaging story. It's about escaping from a mental asylum full of deranged inmates.
One really bad horror story could be about a haunted house. A family moves in and at night, they hear strange scratching noises on the walls. Then, they start seeing shadowy figures. It turns out the house was built on an old burial ground, and the spirits are angry about the intrusion.
One bad vacation horror story is when a family went camping. It started to rain heavily and their tent got flooded. All their clothes and food were soaked. They had to huddle in their car for the rest of the night, cold and wet, with no dry place to sleep.
There was a babysitter who brought her rowdy friends over while babysitting. They were being really loud and even started smoking in the house. The children were exposed to second - hand smoke and were scared by the strangers' behavior. It was a really irresponsible situation.
