The unknown is a big factor. For example, in stories about old, uncharted places in Panama like forgotten ruins or deep jungles, we don't know what's really there. Also, the idea of angry spirits, like in stories of cursed places where spirits are said to be seeking revenge for past wrongs. Another element is the isolation. Panama has many remote areas, and when a scary event is set in these isolated spots, it gives a feeling of being alone and helpless against the unknown horror.
" The Tailor " was an ancient, harem, and sadomasochistic novel written by A'gu. The story was mainly about the emotional entanglement between Young Master Ruan, Song Liaozhi, and Pei Li. Mr. Ruan had the fine tradition of ordinary people and was good at tasting sweetness from bitterness. On the other hand, Ruan Xuetang was a mischievous person who always treated kindness as a donkey's liver. After the two of them met, their relationship became chaotic. This novel was set in an ancient setting. The plot was complicated, and the writing was smooth. It was very popular among readers.
I recommend The Tailor of the Republic of China to you. The female lead was a top fashion designer. After being thrown into the sea by a hired killer, she transmigrated to the Republic of China and could only become an apprentice in a tailor shop. The story is full of joys and sorrows, but the ending is all related to you.
One panama scary story could be about an old, abandoned plantation house in the middle of the panama jungle. People say that at night, strange noises come from it. It is said that a long - ago owner of the plantation made a deal with a dark spirit to ensure a good harvest. But the spirit took over the place after the owner died. Locals avoid going near it, especially after sunset as they claim to have seen shadowy figures moving around the dilapidated house.
The movie Panama has elements based on true events, but it also takes some creative liberties for dramatic effect. So, it's a blend of fact and fiction.
