Top 7 Most Terrifying Ghost Cases From Around the World
Ghosts are commonly portrayed as the tormented spirits of dead people who can’t find rest. These spectral beings are often seen as frightening and threatening, since they tend to lurk in dark places and visit unsuspecting humans when they least expect it. With so many ghost stories out there, it’s fair to say that we are obsessed with the idea of the dead coming back to haunt the living. However, these stories aren’t always fictional – there have been numerous real-life ghost sightings reported around the world for centuries.

The Seedling Session
Louis Ommins was throwing a Halloween party. Not just your average Halloween party, though. Instead, it was a game that led your mind through a maze. It was a game he made up called The Seedlings Session. It's where you ask questions while carving pumpkins, and each time you refuse to answer the question, you have to eat a handful of pumpkin seeds. It was cruel to an extent, aside from the fact that pumpkin seeds are edible, and probably no one will refuse a question once they know the consequence.

In the span of a single day, the Blood Plague had been said to wipe out every member of a village completely; it wouldn't spare any soul, slaying the newborn and the ancient alike in its path of destruction.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 8
Ben absolutely hated carnivals. Everything from the rattletrap rides that were one loose bolt away from collapsing, the greasy, disgusting food that was literally Salmonella in a paper boat, and those annoying, terrible midway games. The midway games to him were the worst: every single one was totally rigged, so you always wound up spending three months allowance on trying to win a stupid, threadbare little plush toy you could buy at any discount toy store. On top of that there was always a crowd at the carnival, meaning hours upon hours of pushing and shoving to even get anywhere while trying not to get trampled by snot-nosed little kids and their often obese, negligent mothers.

The Top Slasher Films You Need to See
"Psycho" (1960) (BOTH pick) It all begins here. Based on the novel by Robert Bloch, which was in turn inspired by notorious serial killer Ed Gein, this masterpiece by Alfred Hitchcock is the result of Hitchcock being bored and wanting to do something that neither he nor anyone else had ever done. Something that elevated film from suspense to pure terror, and brutal violence. The film does an incredible switch of perspective, as the lead characters change partway through the film, and all of the violence is purposefully, painstakingly realistic.

Jeffry Hates Jack-O-Lanterns
Jeffrey Hated Jack-o-Lanterns This was a problem since his Home Town was known as the Jack O Lantern capital of the United States. Every year, the town was host to thousands, if not millions, of carved horrors. It had become a point of pride for the small midwestern town. The town had been full of pumpkins since its founding back in the eighteen hundreds, and the town was filled with glowing, grinning gourds from September till April. The public commons had three large greenhouses that grew pumpkins during the cold months, and no citizen had to pay for a pumpkin. Jeffry was pretty sure that it came out of their taxes, along with road work and the police force.

The Case of the Eight Dancing Scarecrows
Detective Lance pulled up in front of the farmhouse, marveling at the way the corn rattled in the field. The corn was wrong, he could tell that right away, and Lance could honestly say he had never seen corn look that way. The husks were brown, the corn inside turning black as it rotted on the stalk. He had been impressed by the amount of corn surrounding the farmhouse, acres of skeletal stalks that made the farmhouse feel more like an island in a dead corn sea. The police cars out front looked out of place in the dirt yard, and as he mounted the stairs, one of the rural cops came out to meet him.
