Another common element is the loss of control. People can't control their movements or their thoughts. They might start walking into dangerous areas without realizing it, like towards a busy road or a cliff. They also can't stop the flow of the hallucinations which keeps getting scarier and scarier. In addition, a feeling of being trapped in a nightmare - like state persists throughout the 'trip' and they struggle to break free from it.
There was a case where someone took Datura during a 'trip'. They lost their sense of time completely. They wandered around in a daze for hours, believing they were in a different dimension. Their body started to have strange sensations, like being on fire and frozen at the same time. It was a truly terrifying experience as they couldn't control what was happening to them at all.
One datura horror story is about a person who unknowingly ingested datura thinking it was a harmless herb. They then experienced terrifying hallucinations where they saw grotesque figures chasing them. They also lost all sense of time and place, and were in a state of panic for hours until the effects finally wore off.
A gardener once misidentified a datura plant as an ornamental flower and planted it in his garden. His children played near it and got some of the plant's sap on their hands. They then had a series of horrible hallucinations. They saw their toys coming to life and attacking them. The parents were horrified when they saw their children screaming and acting out of control. It took a lot of medical intervention to calm the children down.
Datura is often a key element in horror stories because it has hallucinogenic properties. These can cause people to see and experience terrifying things that aren't really there. For example, it can make a person think they are being chased by monsters or in a world full of danger when in reality they are in a safe place. So, it creates a perfect scenario for horror as it plays with the mind.
There was a group of hikers who came across a field of datura. One of them, thinking it was just an ordinary plant, picked a flower. As she held it, she began to feel strange. Her vision became blurry, and she started hearing strange whispers. The whispers grew louder and more menacing, speaking of things she couldn't understand. She then saw a grotesque face in the flower itself, its eyes following her every move. She dropped the flower and ran, but the horror followed her. Everywhere she looked, she saw distorted versions of the datura plants reaching out for her, and she screamed until her friends found her and got her away from that place.
One horror story is about a long delay. A passenger was on an Amtrak trip and the train got stuck in the middle of nowhere for hours due to a mechanical issue. There was no proper communication from the staff about when they would be moving again, and the food and water on the train started to run low.
One horror story could be getting lost in a dense forest during a field trip. The group strayed from the marked path and ended up in an area with no cell signal. They had to rely on basic survival skills to find their way back. Another might be encountering a wild and aggressive animal. A field trip to a safari - like area where a large and angry rhino charged at the group, causing panic. And the third could be getting trapped in an old, abandoned building that was part of the field trip exploration. The doors closed behind them and they were in the dark, with strange noises all around.
One of my trip horror stories was when I was camping. I heard strange noises all night. It turned out to be a wild animal prowling around my tent. I was so scared that I barely slept.
The toilets on the Amtrak train I took once were really dirty. There was a bad smell throughout the whole trip, and it made the journey quite unpleasant. It seemed like they hadn't been cleaned properly before the trip started.
