Scary stories (dont read if you are easily scared)

[derision]

is that a true story?

[Zitface]

Impossible to say. I've seen only a few stories on GoO that have been proven, and most are proven wrong, such as the Lincoln Ghost Train.
So, I'm putting my money on invariable.

Thaaats not something to be proud of, fam. It's like saying you're proud to live in Brownsville, Texas.

This isn't related to a story I'm about to post, but I've heard the common number of times to say "Bloody Mary" is three times, for that legend stuff to work. In Lodi, Ohio, you had to say it ten times. But in the rest of Ohio, three? God, that's weird. Guess we got the short end of the jabbing stick :3

"Just outside of Spencerville on Route 66 lies a bridge that crosses the Miami Erie Canal. According to legend, it was the site of a grisly murder in 1854. In 1977, the Auglaize County Historical Society erected a plaque near the bridge that recounts the events of that night:

"During the canal years of the 1850s a rivalry grew between Bill Jones and Jack Billings for the love of Minnie Warren. There became hatred by Bill because Minnie chose Jack. On a fall night in 1854, returning from a party, Minnie and Jack were surprised on the bridge by Bill, armed with an axe. With one swing, Bill severed Jack's head. Seeing this, Minnie screamed and fell into a watery grave. Bill disappeared, and when a skeleton was found years later in a nearby well, people asked was it suicide or justice."

Almost immediately after the murder, whispers of ghostly images seen on and around the bridge began to surface. One legend tells of a headless man who can sometimes be seen on the bridge at night. Another says that sometimes when you look off the bridge into the dark water, you can see Minnie Warren’s face looking back.

People began referring to the bridge as "Bloody Bridge.” When the original was replaced, people for miles around took pieces of it as souvenirs. A tribute to the strength of this story, the new bridge still carries the name “Bloody Bridge.” "
GoO, you never cease to amaze me.
This one is true. Even the State of Ohio recognizes it.

This is true, but not really scary

One famous ghost is that of Marion Ritchie, a former landlady of a hotel in the Scottish Borders. The hotel, in the town of Peebles, was originally the seat of the diocese of the Archbishop of Arbroath in the 13th Century. It later became a family home and then an inn. Marion was landlady for many years until the 1780s.
Her ghost does not take to new staff or proprietors. One chef who was trying to take a photo of her apparition was pushed downstairs from behind and broke a leg.

Chefs, barmen and waiters who lived in the hotel have claimed to hear terrible banging noises in the bar at night, beer coolers are switched off mysteriously and two Australian employees left after only one night in the hotel because they saw a hand covered with a veil or scarf suspended in mid air.
Parapsychologists were called in a few years ago and they attempted to make a tape of any noises which could be picked up by their special recorder. The first time they played the tape back they clearly heard voices, the second time they heard Mickey Mouse type sounds and the third time the tape was blank.

I attempted to tape an interview of one of the staff one day and the machine would not record at all. When I went to investigate as I was researching stories for a book, I was alone in the toilet of the restaurant which used to be the stables and the place was completely empty. I heard knocking on the door and pulled it open and there was nobody there. I also heard the same three knocks on the wooden banister while I was walking upstairs. Marion had lived in the hotel with her sister and her father Vintner Ritchie and I located their grave but Marion's name is not on it, according to records she died unmarried in the late 18th century. Owners and staff at the hotel have come and gone over the years but the haunting seems to go on. ~ by Irene Tirtoprodjo

and Toms odvious answer was "yes!". Then the women riped off her surgiacal mask...and revialed her mouth slit from ear to ear.
"Am i butiful NOW?" the women screamed
"eww no!"Tom replied
the women then pulled out some sissors and cut his neck maeing him drop down dead
