What are the scariest real life halloween horror stories you've heard?

A woman received death threats on social media just because she expressed her different political views. It was so scary as she didn't know if the person behind the threats would actually act on it. She had to involve the police and increase her personal security measures.

A friend of mine was camping and in the middle of the night, he felt something heavy on his sleeping bag. When he turned on his flashlight, he saw a large snake coiled up right beside him. He was frozen with fear for a moment before slowly edging away and getting help. Luckily, the snake wasn't venomous.

A scary 'Second Life Horror Story' is when a user's avatar started acting on its own. The person wasn't controlling it, but it was walking into strange, dark places in the virtual world and interacting with creepy - looking avatars. It was really freaky as if the avatar had been possessed.

The scariest one I've heard was about a couple on a road trip. They stopped at an old motel for the night. In the middle of the night, the woman woke up to see a face staring at her through the window. When she screamed, it disappeared. But then they heard scratching on the door. They quickly packed and left, and later found out that there had been several unexplained deaths in that motel.

One of the scariest is when a cloud service provider had a major outage. Many businesses relying on their services were left in the lurch. Their websites went down, and they couldn't access important data stored in the cloud. It showed how vulnerable businesses are when they put all their digital eggs in one basket.

A scariest one I've heard is about a Spirit Halloween store that used to be an old building with a tragic past. People say that every Halloween night, the ghosts of the people who died in the building long ago would roam the aisles. Customers have reported seeing old - fashioned clothes moving on their own and hearing screams that seemed to come from nowhere. It was so bad that some employees refused to work on Halloween night.

A haunted house story that really creeps me out is about a place where pictures on the walls would change. One day it was a normal family portrait, and the next day it showed distorted faces. The family living there felt like they were being watched all the time. They tried to perform some cleansing rituals, but nothing worked and they eventually left.

A really scary one was about a Sims family whose house was constantly filled with a cold draft. They could never find the source. One day, a Sim saw a pair of icy blue feet walking in the hallway but there was no body attached. It sent chills down their spines.

I heard of an elevator where a person saw a pair of red eyes staring at them from the corner of the elevator when the lights dimmed. It was so terrifying that they froze until the elevator reached the next floor.

I heard about a geocacher who entered an old mine shaft to find a cache. The deeper he went, the colder it got. Then his flashlight started flickering. He heard the sound of something heavy being dragged. He was so scared that he couldn't move for a moment. But then he managed to run out, leaving the cache behind.
