All the believers are nuts...and all the nuts are believers.  \n"God told me..." is the scariest and most dangerous opening to a sentence.

One time I was with a big group of friends at night by a rather quiet, isolated, and dark area (no houses or people; just bushes and dense trees). We need to get to a club by taxi. And so we need to figure out how many people are in our group to decide how many taxi will we need.\n\nWhen we were counting in a circle, we all saw a face of a stranger ( a man) among us. But the scary thing is we could only saw half of his body (upper body only). We all looked at him silently in awe, thinking that can't be true. And then the ghostly figure just turned away and disappeared.\n\nWe could not believe our eyes.

Wow, it almost sounds like something is following you.\n\nOne of my ghost stories is from New Orleans (where ghost stories are born). My friend and I were staying at the Hotel St Louis. At about 3am, the alarm on my digital watch started going off, but I didn't even know how to set it so I knew I hadn't done it. \n\nThen, we went out for breakfast (there were only 2 of us in the room) and came back and the deadbolt had been locked from the inside. We had to have someone from the front desk use a special key to open the lock. He had to lay on his back and unlock the door from a hidden lock under the door knob.\n\nMany other experiences, there, too. Luckily all were friendly.

The dark.  I am 23 and scared to death of the dark.  If I am with other people I'm fine.  But if I am alone I freak out.

I do and I have come across MANY haunted place in my life. There was my grandma's house, my moms house, the local hospital, an old house I used to work at and a community building, 2 of my uncles houses, my aunts house and every house one of my aunts ever lived in lol, I think they just followed her around. \nBut I just posted on another question that asked about ghost the place I spent most of my childhood and probably has the most ghost stories in one place that I know of so I will just repost it here. \n\nI didn't actually LIVE in the house but I spent most of my time there. It was the whole location actually. See my great grandparents had this piece of land that they put a house on and later other family put houses up there to so at one point there were 4 houses with people living in them.\nAnd the whole area is spooky between there and over on the other side of the hill where another family had the same kind of set up. \nJust a few of the stories....\nMy great grandparents had 10 kids, one was killed when she was 17 by her younger brother who was playing with a gun he didn't know was loaded and shot her. 1 year to the day after she died the new rocking chair that was put in the place she had died in started to rock on its own, and the piano that she used to play started to play her fav song by itself, you could even see the keys moving. \nI also had an uncle that died when he was 17, he died in a house fire and he had a car that some of the boys from town used to try and steal so my grandma brought it up there so that her dad could keep on eye on it. When my cousin and aunty were walking from the main house to the house they lived in they passed that car, and inside they saw my uncle and he waved at them. \nMy aunt used to watch the neighbors little boy, he was 4 yrs old and would walk over by himself through, and one time he said that a group of braves followed him and another time he got to my aunts crying and said this little old lady followed him and said he was going to be a chief, he said she was still there and tried to point her out to my aunt. My aunt even got down on her hands and knees to look down his arm and didn't see anything.\nShortly after that the boy was killed when he was riding on the hood of his moms car and fell off. \nShortly after that my cousin was sitting at her moms, the one that used to babysit him, and she heard his little cowboy boots walking up the stairs and heard him knocking on the door crying for my aunt. \nThere are a lot of other things that go on there, noises, shadows going from room to room, my brother thinks he saw my great grandpa once because he looked out and could see the outline of a tall man with a crew cut but him and one of my other aunts were the only ones in the house. There are also pounding on walls and doors and my mom heard someone walking around the kitchen while she knew everyone was sleeping.

how about Billy Bob Thornton?  He is scared of antiques, because antiques are haunted?!  I dunno!

I shouldn't even be answering this, because technically it is in violation of the Community Guidelines.  But I must admit it is an intriguing concept.  I don't like horror stories, but the other categories you mentioned appeal to me.  \n\nI should tell you I am not much of a fiction writer.  Non-fiction is my forte.  But perhaps with your detailed outlines of the story, or even paragraphs and so on, my editing skills might be of use.  It's something we can discuss.  I will send you an email when I get a chance if you select my answer as best.  (Is that another violation of the Community Guidelines?)

A friend and I were allowed to have a rent free caretakers house that sat just inside an old cemetary in Maryland. It was the coolest old house and the cemetary was beautiful (as far as cemetary's go) Old! \n\nThings like ghosts, spirits and cemetaries have never made me afraid really so it was all good. \nAfter spending a late night out, I came home and decided just to lie across the sofa instead of going upstairs. The moon was very bright that night and had the room lit with shadows. We had a cat named Sam and he was downstairs with me as well. As we lay on the sofa suddenly the television had a glow on the screen and started making the static noises a t.v makes when its being either shut on or off. Sam took off up the stairs like a shot of lightening. It was strange but I really didn't feel anything like concern or fright. I still layed comfortably and soon closed my eyes but wasn't asleep. I then felt the sofa sink in right beside me as if someone sat down and of course I opened my eyes thinking it was Sam back. Nothing was there but there was an indent in the sofa as I ran my hand across feeling the weight of whatever was sitting next to me. The spot was cold. I then felt a slight burst of air on my face as if breathing but not warm like breath. Strange thing is, I wasn't afraid. It only lasted about a minute and stopped, the place on the couch went back to normal, a few seconds later the t.v stopped glowing and eventually Sam came downstairs.

Uncle Silas by J.S lefanu is supposed to be one of the scariest Victorian Gothic novel mysteries ever written:). It takes a bit to get into it but my friend Liz said once she started reading it she needed to keep the light on when she slept at night:)! \nAlso, Christine by Steven King is pretty scary. I remember when i wanted to start reading him I thought Christine would be a good one to start with, but WAS I WRONG! I was so scared I couldn't even look at the car on the back of the book!!!!!!!! His stories are really pretty scary. Also, Dean Koontz is a good horror novelist as well.
