Can you share some of your real life horror stories?

Sure. There was a story about a family who moved into an old house. Strange noises started at night, like scratching on the walls. One night, the mother saw a shadowy figure in the hallway. They later found out that a previous owner had died mysteriously in the house.

Sure. One real life IT horror story is when a company's entire database got corrupted due to a software glitch. They lost years of customer data, orders, and financial records. It was a nightmare for the IT team as they had to try to recover what they could, but a large portion was just gone forever. This led to huge losses for the company, not just in terms of data but also in reputation as customers lost trust.

Once I was camping near a lake. At night, I heard strange splashing sounds. I thought it was just a fish at first. But then the splashing got closer and closer to the shore. I peeked out of my tent and saw a large, dark shape moving in the water. I was so scared that I didn't sleep the whole night. In the morning, I found out it was just a log that had been floating around and got pushed to the shore by the wind.

Once, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt something tickling my face. I turned on the light and there was a huge spider right on my pillow! I screamed and jumped out of bed. I was so scared that I couldn't go back to sleep for hours.

One real - life clown horror story I heard was about a clown that would stand at the end of a street in a small town at night. People driving by would see it just staring. It was really creepy, especially as it was always in the same spot and no one knew who it was or what their intention was.

Once I went on a beach vacation. The hotel we booked looked great in pictures but when we arrived, it was filthy. There were bugs everywhere in the room. We complained but the staff was rude and unhelpful. We had to find another place to stay in a hurry, which was really stressful as it was peak season and most places were full.

Sure. There was a story about an old, abandoned house. A group of teenagers once decided to explore it at night. As they entered, they heard strange whispers. One of them saw a shadowy figure moving in the hallway. They all ran out in fear and later found out that a long - time - ago, a murder had taken place there.

In one real - life horror story, a granny was alone in her cottage in the woods. People passing by at night often saw a strange figure in the window that looked like the granny, but distorted. When a neighbor finally went to check on her, the door was locked from the inside. They could hear the granny's screams from inside, but when they broke in, there was no one there.

Yes. There was a woman who had amniocentesis and developed an amniotic fluid leak afterwards. This was extremely concerning as it can pose a risk to the baby's development. She had to be on strict bed rest for a long time.

In some religious communities, asexuality can be misconstrued. There was a case where an asexual person was told by their religious leaders that they were sinning because they didn't have sexual desires in the way that was expected. They were made to feel like they were going against God, which is a very traumatic and horror - like experience for someone who is just living their truth.
