A student in a dorm once woke up in the middle of the night to see a white figure floating above his roommate's bed. He was so scared that he couldn't move or make a sound. When he finally managed to turn on the light, the figure was gone and his roommate was still sound asleep.

One of the scariest is a story set in a village. There was a well that was said to be haunted. People who passed by it at night would see a woman's figure rising from the well.

The story of the Changeling is quite scary. In this story, a child is replaced by a ghostly or supernatural being.

It's terrifying because it makes you wonder what else might be in that abandoned house.
