Well, a very common element is the danger they pose to themselves and others. In these horror stories, crackheads might put themselves in life - threatening situations like running into traffic or climbing on high structures while high. And they also endanger others, like when they try to steal from or harm people around them. Their lack of judgment due to drug use makes them a source of fear and chaos in these stories.
There was this crackhead who used to lurk around a local park. He would approach people randomly, begging for money in a really aggressive way. One day, he started chasing a woman who refused to give him money. She was terrified and ran as fast as she could. Luckily, some people nearby heard her screams and came to her rescue. It was a really frightening experience for her and made everyone in the park more cautious.
The existence of such stories is likely due to a few factors. Maybe it's an attempt to be edgy and stand out, but it often crosses moral boundaries. Also, it could reflect some deep-seated societal issues or fears, but presented in a very distorted and unhelpful manner.
Sure. One story is about a crackhead who broke into an old abandoned house. He thought there was some hidden treasure there. But instead, he found a bunch of rats. They started chasing him and he got so scared that he ran out of the house and tripped over a stone, getting badly injured.
The unpredictability is the most terrifying aspect. You never know what a crackhead might do. They could be calm one moment and then suddenly go into a violent rage for no apparent reason. For example, in some stories, they might attack someone just because they looked at them the wrong way.
Once I saw a crackhead trying to dance with a street lamp, thinking it was his dance partner. He was twirling around it and talking to it like it could respond.
There was a crackhead who thought he was a superhero. He was running around in a torn shirt and underwear, trying to 'fly' by jumping off low walls. He would shout 'I'm here to save the day!' every time he attempted a jump. It was so absurd but also kind of entertaining to watch from a safe distance.
