A rather scary Vivint horror story involves a false alert of a break - in. The Vivint system sent an emergency signal to the police. When the police arrived, they found nothing wrong. But this happened multiple times, and the homeowners were afraid that the police would stop taking their calls seriously if there ever was a real emergency. Plus, the embarrassment of having the police show up for no reason was really unpleasant.
There's a story about a worker who had a very strange encounter. While cleaning one of the closed - off areas at night, they heard unexplained noises. It sounded like footsteps and whispers, but no one else was supposed to be there. They quickly left the area, feeling very spooked.
I heard about a playground where a child found a dead animal hidden under a slide. It was a really disturbing sight for the young kid. They ran away crying and were haunted by the image for a long time.
The scariest one I heard was about a user who joined a world that looked like an abandoned asylum. As they walked around, they heard faint screams and whispers. Then, they saw a figure in a straitjacket running towards them at full speed. Before they could react, the figure disappeared, but then they started getting strange messages on their screen as if the figure was trying to communicate with them in some way. It was really spooky.
A factory had an MMI for its automated assembly line. One day, the MMI glitched and sent wrong commands to the machines. As a result, some of the machines started operating in a dangerous and uncontrolled manner. There were sparks flying and parts being thrown around. Workers had to evacuate quickly to avoid getting hurt. It was a really scary situation as the whole factory floor was in chaos due to the MMI failure.
There's a story of a woman who was meditating in a forest. She reached a very deep state of meditation and suddenly felt as if she was falling through an endless abyss. As she was falling, she heard the screams of tortured souls all around her. She tried to wake herself up but couldn't for a while. When she finally did, she was so horrified that she refused to go back to that forest for meditation. It's a terrifying story because it combines the fear of the unknown, the sense of helplessness, and the disturbing sounds and sensations that can occur during meditation.
I heard a story where a guy on tindr met a girl. She invited him over to her place for a first date, which he thought was a bit strange but still went. When he got there, the place was really messy and there were some really odd things around like animal skulls. She also started acting really erratically and he left as soon as he could. It was a really freaky encounter.
The scariest one I've heard was about a girl swimming in a deep, isolated lake. She felt something tugging at her swimsuit from below. She thought it was a fish at first, but then the pulling got stronger. She was dragged down a bit and was so scared. She managed to break free and swim to shore. When she got out, she saw a long scratch on her leg. She never went back to that lake again.
The scariest one I've heard was about a group that encountered a crocodile while crossing a river on a safari. The crocodile suddenly lunged at one of the tourists. There was a struggle as the others tried to pull their friend back. Luckily, they managed to get the person out, but with some serious injuries. It was a really close call and the screams and panic were just horrifying.
I heard of a spelunking incident where a group found a cave that was said to be cursed. Once inside, they started to see apparitions. At first, they thought it was just their eyes playing tricks on them in the dim light. But then the apparitions started getting closer and more menacing. They ran for the exit, but it seemed like the cave was changing, and the path they took in was no longer there. They were trapped with these ghost - like figures closing in on them.
