[@Michael59279]

Agreed. Hopefully it's just a fake story. All of these three stories say "unverified reddit post" on the bottom before he starts talking about each. A lot of people like to practice writing by anonymously writing fictional horror stories on reddit.

[@debrajones4010]

Especially when all of those papers that were plastered on the wall saying “SHE GOTTA RUN”! It most definitely was a serial killer who must’ve been living down there and they were only killing girls.

[@kaylew108]

True, but food would be scarce

[@RuinedTemple]

@@brandonmusick77 I'd assume there'd likely be rats, & possibly even raccoons, opossums, snakes, & other types of smaller swamp fare down there. It kinda depends on how exactly the environment outside of the structure connects with the environment inside the structure. Just because those kids could only find or only knew of one spot where they could enter doesn't necessarily mean there aren't others, possibly hidden from sight, where other critters can find their way into the building.

[@mikaelsongameofwar2360]

Story 2 - Kurt is like the "dumb blond" from a scary movie. Visits an old abandoned building on his own at night & gets baited down to the basement unphased by the creepy music that just randomly starts playing🤦‍♀️

Kurt is the definition of "dumb ways to die"

[@cdes1776]

[@Matthew-Anthony]

Kurt is very brave. He is clearly not a coward.

[@jonathanlawter1502]

That last story was more than likely an alligator. Alligators love dark and murky water and can be found in very obscure places. Now being in an abandoned hospital it was probably very hungry and was hoping to get a meal out of one of the boys.

[@corenasue]

That could be a good explanation of what was going on and if an Alligator swam up on me I would grab it by the face and wrestle with it and then call animal control and police to get the thing out of there.

Mike's a lycanthrope, he lured Pete down that tunnel to his "kill chamber" where he planned to kill and eat Pete. But while Mike transformed in the darkness to his lycan self to attack Pete, Pete wandered through obliviously and down the next passage. Werewolf Mike eventually charged down the passage toward Pete, who barely escaped out the metal door. Mike changed back to human form and hauled his now-less-hairy ass back out the other way and when Pete called all in a bother, played it off like "Dude, I was up topside eating a sandwich, what were you smoking?" 😉😁

[@jackmurphy4825]

Growing up in the countryside I'd always throw on old clothes with the actual intention to ruin them. When Mr.Ballen said this about the boys I got a hit of nostalgia, not only would I do it for these sort of reasons (you never know what exploring the unknown is going to require) I also remember the feeling of excitement I'd have putting them on. Like whatever this adventure throws at me I'm ready. Of course you'd need more than old clothes to fend of an alligator but that's the way my child brain worked haha

[@pbjgurl]

How is it inexplicable? They were 12 years old. And probably didn’t want their parents to yell at them for getting their good clothes dirty. So they put on some old clothes to explore. I’m sure they weren’t expecting an alligator to appear. They were dumb 12 year old boys 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Auditing.northern.N.Y.]

About 30 years ago I worked at a warehouse in Cato NY. Often I would be there alone in the middle of the night alone. We didn't use the 3rd floor so I decided to investigate one night. When I reached the top of the stairs I heard someone running away. I searched the place and found no one. Scary times!

[@MeowingCat835]

Was it light or heavy sound? Maybe it was a rat/mouse. Or a stray dog/human. Anyway, scary!

[@Auditing.northern.N.Y.]

@MeowingCat835 most definitely running person(heavy). Probably homeless and and knew where to hide, I was gonna offer them some food, but couldn't find anyone. Definitely scared me.

[@stephenh4177]

I was doing electrical work one time and I spent all day by myself upstairs. When it was only an hour or two left before I was done, I was taking a break and looking around, and there was an old fiberglass shower liner almost completely up against the wall and I poked my head around just to see it and there was somebody sitting in there staring me directly in the eyes as I peered around the corner. It was just a homeless person but it scared the absolute shit out of me because I didn't expect anybody to be there. They had to have been sitting there silently for about 5-6 hours because nobody came in or out while I was up there, and I even ate my lunch up there by myself.

[@Auditing.northern.N.Y.]

True story of a college friend: she was in an older medical building for her toddler son’s doctor’s appointment. On the way out the son wants to take the elevator. They go from the 2nd to the 1st floor, at which point the elevator jerks, then falls into the basement. The elevator is now tilted and as she is pressing the buttons (which do nothing) she hears a weird noise. Then water starts sweeping into the bottom of the elevator...they had fallen onto a water main. She manages to pry the door open, at which point the water is knee deep. She carries her son out, up a flight of stairs and back to the doctor’s office to say what happened. As she goes back down, the water had reached the top couple stairs leading back down to the basement. She later found she had a tibial plateau fracture from the fall, but was just thankful she did not drown or get electrocuted with her son. Happened in NJ about 14 years ago.

I grew up in a basement lol much nicer than ground floor dwellers.

[@SunRabbit]

When I was a kid, I was scared of basements because in 1979 I had my first and only sighting of a ghost in our very own basement. The house was built in 1906 and had an unremarkable history but on that fateful day I was doing something in the workshop alone. I heard something, and looked up to see an old man with a terrified expression on his face running towards me with a flashlight. The whole sighting lasted just one second or so, but I was scared as hell. For years afterwards I would force my brother to go downstairs with me anytime I wanted to use the workshop. My theory was that maybe this old man saw ME as a ghost in HIS timeline in the 1930s or 40s because somehow our timelines intersected in that one instant. I assumed he was from the 30s because he had this worker's hat on (not sure how to describe it, like a puffy baseball cap).
