Yes, they can be. Since they are based on true events, there's an element of authenticity that makes them scarier. Knowing that these things actually happened to real people gives it an edge.
Some might be true stories while others could be urban legends. In many cases, the idea of suicides in scary woods might be exaggerated. There could be one or two tragic incidents that got blown out of proportion over time. Also, the 'scary' nature of the woods might add a sense of mystery and fear, making people more likely to believe and spread such stories.
One story is of a forest ranger who was on patrol in the deep woods. He came across a small, abandoned cabin. When he entered, there were strange markings on the walls. He heard a sudden loud bang from the attic, and as he climbed the ladder to check, he felt an icy cold hand grab his ankle. He managed to break free and ran out of there as fast as he could.
One of the scariest deep woods stories I've heard was from a hiker. He was alone in the woods at dusk. As he was walking, he heard strange howling noises that seemed to come from all directions. He couldn't figure out what was making the sound. His heart started pounding, and he quickly found a tree to climb. While up in the tree, he saw a large shadow moving below, but couldn't make out what it was. Eventually, the noises stopped and the shadow disappeared. He was so scared that he didn't continue his hike and made his way back as fast as he could.
There's a story where a family rented a woods cabin for a vacation. At night, they heard scratching on the windows. When they looked out, they saw a shadowy figure. The next day, they found strange symbols carved on the trees around the cabin. They tried to leave but their car wouldn't start. As night came again, the figure got closer, and they were trapped, fearing for their lives.
Well, there might be a story in 'woods scary stories' where a group of campers set up their tents in the woods. During the night, they noticed that all their food supplies were mysteriously disappearing. Then, they started to find strange footprints around their campsite. As they followed the footprints, they ended up in a clearing where they saw a huge, old - fashioned cabin with a single light on. The door creaked open by itself, and they were too scared to go in but also too terrified to stay outside. They didn't know what kind of creature or person might be in there, waiting for them.
A lot of people have reported seeing strange apparitions in the deep woods. These are often described as white, misty figures that seem to float among the trees. It's really terrifying because they can appear suddenly. For example, a hunter was tracking a deer when out of nowhere, this figure just materialized in front of him. He was so shocked that he dropped his gun and ran all the way back to his truck.
One scary deep woods story is about a hiker who got lost. As night fell, he heard strange howls. He followed a dim light, thinking it was a ranger's hut, but it led him to an old, abandoned cabin. Inside, there were strange markings on the walls. Suddenly, the door slammed shut, and he heard scratching noises outside. He huddled in a corner all night, fearing whatever was out there.
Well, here's another. A group of campers went into the deep woods. In the middle of the night, they saw shadowy figures moving just outside the light of their campfire. They thought it might be animals at first, but the figures seemed to be standing upright. They quickly packed up and left, too afraid to stay and find out what it really was. It could have been some poachers, or maybe something more supernatural.
Yes, there could be. Maybe there's a story about a haunted tree in the woods. People say that if you touch the tree at midnight, you'll see the ghosts of those who died in the woods long ago.
