One disturbing story is about a person who found a 'too - good - to - be - true' apartment rental on Craigslist. When they went to view it, the so - called landlord was really sketchy. He asked for a large cash deposit upfront and then tried to change the terms of the lease on the spot. It was clear he was trying to scam people out of their money.
The most disturbing one I heard was when a family thought they were renting a house. They paid the deposit and first month's rent. But when they showed up on moving day, the 'owner' had already rented it to someone else and refused to return their money. They were left homeless and out of a large sum of money.
Well, in one of the true Craigslist horror stories, a person thought they were getting a great deal on a car. They met the seller in a rather secluded area. As soon as they got out of their own car to check the vehicle, they were surrounded by a group of menacing - looking people. They demanded all the cash the buyer had on them and stole some of their personal items too. Another story involves a person looking for a roommate on Craigslist. The 'roommate' turned out to be a very unstable person who started harassing the original tenant, making their living situation a nightmare. And then there was the case where someone answered an ad for a pet on Craigslist. When they got to the place, the 'pet' was in a very bad condition and it was clear that it was part of some illegal animal - trading ring.
There was a case where someone bought a used item from Craigslist. When they received it, it was broken in a way that was not disclosed in the ad. But when they tried to contact the seller to get a refund or exchange, the seller became very aggressive and started sending threatening messages. It was really scary as they didn't know what this person might do next.
Yes, there are. There have been numerous reports of people encountering various bad situations through Craigslist. For example, some have fallen victim to scams where they were promised a great job or a great deal on an item, but in the end, they lost money. Others have had dangerous or uncomfortable meetings when trying to buy or sell something in person, with some facing threats or being robbed.
One of the disturbing true gym horror stories might be about a person who found a cockroach in their water bottle at the gym. It's not only disgusting but also makes you question the hygiene of the place. Another story could be that a girl was stalked in the parking lot of the gym by a strange man. She felt really scared and unsafe. And for the third story, there was an instance where the gym's music system suddenly started playing really loud and screeching noises during a workout session, which was so unexpected and disturbing that it completely threw people off their exercise routine.
Scams are a big type of horror. Like when people are tricked into paying for something that doesn't exist. For example, a person pays for a concert ticket on Craigslist but the ticket is fake.
There are likely stories where people advertised services on Craigslist and got into trouble. Let's say a person offered tutoring services. They met with a client through Craigslist and the client turned out to be really unruly or even dangerous. Another aspect could be those who were looking for pets on Craigslist. Sometimes the so - called 'pet sellers' were actually involved in illegal animal trading or were mistreating the animals. And in some cases, people who were selling furniture on Craigslist had to deal with buyers who showed up at odd hours and demanded unreasonable things.
The first disturbing true horror story is about a cemetery. There was a caretaker who worked there. One night, he saw a figure in white floating above the graves. He was so scared that he ran away. But when he came back the next day, he found that some of the graves had been disturbed. Another story involves a school. Students and teachers reported seeing a girl in an old - fashioned dress in the hallways. It was later discovered that a girl had died in the school many years ago. The third story is about a small town. There was a house on the outskirts where strange lights would be seen at night. People who got too close would feel a cold chill and a sense of dread. Turns out the house had a history of dark secrets and tragedies.
Here are the three. There was a Halloween when a woman was walking home alone. She passed by a cemetery and saw a figure in a white dress floating above a grave. She was so scared she couldn't move for a moment. Then there's the story of a family that decorated their house elaborately for Halloween. But at night, they heard scratching noises on the windows as if something was trying to get in. And the last one, a man wearing a scary mask on Halloween followed a group of trick - or - treaters. He got closer and closer until they ran away screaming.
