Well, in the 'Alligator Man' scary story, it's about a man who got a strange affliction. Maybe it was from a voodoo spell gone wrong. As he changed into this alligator - like being, he lost his humanity bit by bit. His hands turned into claws, and his body grew a thick, armored - like skin. He became a creature of the night, preying on the fear of the villagers. The villagers would tell tales of how he moved through the water silently, waiting to ambush anyone who came too close to his territory.
His connection to the swamp. Swamps are already spooky places, and he lurks there. The idea that he could come out of that dark, murky water at any moment is really terrifying. Also, his transformation from a human to this alligator - like creature goes against nature, and that's deeply unsettling.
Some man - eating alligator stories are real. There have been documented cases where alligators, especially in areas where their habitats overlap with human settlements, have attacked and killed humans. For example, in Florida, which has a large alligator population, there have been incidents over the years.
The sudden appearance of alligators is very scary. For example, when they emerge from the water silently like in the fisherman story, it gives no time for the victim to prepare.

Here's another. A man was walking along a riverbank. He saw a small alligator on the shore and thought it was cute. He got closer to take a picture.

One interesting Florida man alligator story is when a man was jogging in a park known for having alligators. He saw a small alligator on the path. Instead of running away, he stopped and started talking to the alligator as if it could understand him. He even named it 'Gator Joe'.

Eventually, the alligator seemed to get used to his presence, which was really strange considering alligators are wild animals.
