Bored Panda also wanted to know whether hardship always makes a person stronger. According to psychologist Lee, who is the founder of Essentialise Workplace Wellbeing and PhenomGames, growth, after we experience something traumatic, isn't necessarily straightforward, but it can create the conditions for us to become more resilient.

"Post-traumatic growth isn't always simple to explain or utilise, but often the adversity we face can create a precedent for what we can overcome, help us to see what we need to be grateful for, and give us an understanding of the support we do have. A big part of opening the door to grow from our struggles is finding acceptance and taking ownership over what you can control and finding healthy ways to express the negative emotion that comes with challenges that test us," he shared with us.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed My mom called me at midnight asking me to go check on my dad because she was worried about him but didn't say exactly why. I found him drunk in the woods behind the house sitting on a stump with a pistol in his mouth. I spent the next 40 minutes sitting there talking him down. He eventually gave me the gun and went to bed. I'll never get over it.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed When I was maybe 7, my cousin and I were playing outside. We went in the front yard and saw my brother in his car with his friend. Their eyes were closed, heads back against the headrests, windows rolled up on a hot summer day. Then they started making these odd jerking movements with their arms and heads. Being kids, my cousin and I thought they were just being silly and messing with us. But when we noticed the drool and that they weren’t responding, we got scared and got my parents.

We didn’t know at the time, but we were watching my brother and his friend overdose. I don’t know what they took, I probably never will. My parents sent us in the house while they took care of the boys. They thankfully survived. But that image of them passed out in the blue, 90s Toyota will stick with me forever.

Lee also opened up about what personally helped him when he had to learn to walk again. "Using journaling and talking about how I felt played a significant part in my recovery when I had to learn to walk again, and gave me the space to grow to become mentally stronger as a result. It is also important to reflect on all the hurdles you've overcome, so you can see what skills and lessons you've learned to apply in the future, and adversity often helps us to see what really matters, and gets us closer to knowing our values and purpose."

I was with my mom at McDonalds. I was about 8 years old. We had just pulled up in the parking lot. A man came out, dragging his son by the collar. The kid was about 13 or 14 years old. He was also crying. The man grabbed the boy by the throat and slammed his head against the wall. I distinctly remember the boy's choked-off screaming. The man pinned him against the wall and hit him with a closed fist.

My mom immediately called 911 and stepped out of the car to yell at the man, telling him to stop. He called her a bitch and told her to mind her own business. The cops came quickly. They interviewed me and my mom, then the boy and his father.

Then they let the man go home with his boy. The cops said they didn't see anything, so they couldn't prove anything. I remember being frantic, terrified. I begged them to stop the man from driving away. They ignored me, got in their car, and left.

It was the most scared I'd ever been up until that moment, watching the cops drive away and the black pickup with the dad and his son drive away as well. I will never forget that kid or how scared I was seeing him hurt, then seeing people just let him get hurt more.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed Ah….well. This happened around 15 years ago. I was visiting El Salvador with my family and long time friend of 30+ years. One day we went to a coast line and thought it was a great place to fish, we could see for miles away and my friend was a well experienced diver+boater. I was feeling really tired that day so I head off to sleep.I wake up and realize I dozed off too long as It’s around 6pm and it’s dark. I look around the house that we rented for the week and realize I’m the only one here. My family or friend isn’t here so I wait one more hour and feel a sense of dread come over me almost Immediately and ran out to where I last saw them. As I run down the street I realize a large group of people are gathering at the coast and find out my kids are stranded near the coastline with people throwing things to them to latch on to. My wife is crying and yelling and I help some other guys pull them to safety. Then I realize that my friend and the boat is gone. I do one last look at the coastline and hear “IM SORRY! I DID MY BEST! IM SORRY!” And I see my friend go down the ocean with the boat flipping over him and drowning him. He swam for 3 hours in rough water with my kids bringing them as close to the coast as he could before succumbing to exhaustion still thinking he didn’t do good enough.

It’s no secret that we have a deep fascination with horror stories—whether real or made up—as human beings. The strange, the bizarre, the chilling all grab our attention and sometimes we feel like we can’t unglue our eyes from the screen. Topics dealing with death, especially, are popular (even if some folks won’t admit to enjoying reading them).

Award-winning editor and writer Doug Murano previously explained to Bored Panda that our fascination with scary stories lies in our deep-seated curiosity. “I suspect that most of us—regardless of our spiritual beliefs—have a longing for something beyond this life. Human beings seem to be pre-programmed with this urge," he told us.

"So much of horror and speculative fiction grapples with death and what happens after we die that I can't help but believe much of our interest in such stories is an expression of a longing for experiences and existences beyond our perceptions," the editor and writer mused.

"Great horror stories thread a precarious needle: They maintain a sense of the truly inexplicable while creating a world and a narrative that provides enough answers to ground the story,” he told us.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed I was a skydiving instructor for a couple years.

There was a really cocky kid that went through our program, who was pretty bad at listening, barely tested into the solo jump phase, etc. I didn’t have the authority to kick him out, and regardless, I wasn’t close enough to the situation to know whether or not they were wrong in letting him jump.

His first jump, he had a poor free fall (not uncommon), but not terrible canopy work.

I saw his second jump, where he didn’t follow radio directions under canopy, and turned without looking, such that his parachute wrapped around another student, obstructing that student’s vision and mobility.

At this point, with the first kid hanging by a collapsed canopy wrapped around the second kid (~1000ft off the ground), they are trained to ride it down since neither is moving at a dangerous speed towards the ground. But of course, dingus doesn’t want to follow direction (or the advice given to him over the radio). He cuts away his first parachute, going back into free fall, to allow his reserve to deploy.

Watching from the tower that day, I thought I would witness this kid bounce off the ground. Fortunately, we had some of the best riggers in the country working for us, and the reserve deployed immediately. No sooner had it fully deployed, that kid touched down.

He couldn’t have cut it any closer! Suffice it to say, this kid didn’t get to jump again.

Edit: all students jump with radios, so the kid whose vision was obstructed was able to follow radio instructions to land safely, even though he had to do so without being able to see in front of him.

“Over-explanation kills most horror, which is why the shark is scariest when you only see the fin; the alien is most terrifying when it's lurking in the shadows; the killer is most monstrous when he's masked," Doug explained to Bored Panda that if we can see the monster in the scary story, we can start thinking rationally. If it remains shrouded in the shadows, it’s far more terrifying.

Doug added that it’s best to enjoy scary stories in full no matter if they’re fact or fiction. A great story is a great story, regardless of whether it was embellished or completely made up.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed My cousin getting attacked by a Rottweiler. We had a neighbor (14) that had a Rottweiler tied up in their backyard. We always thought it was friendly. We would hangout with our neighbor often. This one particular time my neighbor's sister was feeding/playing with the dog. My cousin (8) and his twin brother went over to join her. One of them got on the doghouse and the dog didn't seem to like that, so it latched onto my cousin's thigh. He jumped down and tried to run away but the dog pushed him down and grabbed onto my cousin's head and started thrashing him around. I was in shock. I couldn't move and it took me a few seconds to realize what was going on. It was like watching it happen in slow motion. His head being snatched back and forth and blood everywhere. I snapped out of it when I saw my neighbor run towards them and started punching the dog in the face. He let go and my cousin took off running and screaming that he had a hole on his head. I ran over to him and tried to calm him down. His scalp was hanging off his head. I could see the white of his skull. We lived next to my parent's restaurant and the parking lot was full of customers. I called 911 and the ambulance was there in minutes. He was taken to the hospital and had to have his scalp stapled and stitches on his chest and thigh. He was scared of dogs for the longest after that.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed Just this past Saturday I hit the local bar to get some carry-out and a growler. I saw a friend outside and chatted for maybe three minutes when another guy took a step, tripped, and face planted hard into a “stepped” area of concrete. In the blink of an eye this guy was within minutes of dying. He began convulsing and vomiting uncontrollably, could not speak, and was bleeding profusely from his head, nose, and ears. He hit so hard that his nose was shattered and his skull split open across his forehead. EMT’s were stunned and got him out of there as fast as possible. The bartender came out and washed more blood and vomit than I’ve ever seen from the pavement with buckets of hot bleach water.

The scariest part was the speed at which this happened. People were standing so close to this guy but he went down so fast and hard that there wasn’t time to react and catch him. The violence of the impact was shocking.

My little sisters hair starting standing up a little, and my dad was just standing there with my brother, laughing at the staticky feeling he got when he reached up. My mom and I tried to convince him to come down but he wouldn’t. Eventually he ended up getting down and no one was hurt, but I was terrified watching my little sisters hair stand up and my dad not do anything about it.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed Back in the mid 70’s I worked for a company called TriForm Corp in Gurnee, Illinois. I worked in the machine shop on day shift. I usually went in early so I could have a smoke and a cup of coffee before I started my shift. I worked on a turret lathe mostly. There was a woman who ran that turret lathe on third shift, so I always took over from her. I didn’t know her all that well, just knew that she was pretty and had long silky hair. One morning I heard a scream and then people scrambling, lots of shouting. I ran over to the source of the noise. It was that girl. Her long hair had gotten tangled on the piece of bar stock she had been working with. It grabbed her hair and ripped her scalp off, peeling in from the back of her head the tip of her nose. When I got there it was still spinning around. I’ll never forget that wet slapping sound it made. I hit the emergency stop. Somebody had grabbed towels and stuff and wrapped her head and was trying to keep her calm but she was hysterical. It was bad. Real bad.

While hiking in Japan I came across a troop of snow monkeys, and one bore it's fangs and started chasing me (probably because I wasn't thinking and made eye contact, which they see as a sign of aggression). He chased me for several minutes, and I am pretty sure I felt it swiping at my pant legs. I just had this vision in my head of it climbing me like a tree and biting my face or neck.

I told my parents this story when I was showing off pictures from my trip, and the first picture I stopped on didn't have a lot in it for reference. My mom sat and listened to this story in horror, until I went to the next slide, where you can clearly see that snow monkeys stand no more than 2 feet tall. I think she was picturing something Chimpanzee size.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed I was working at a chemical plant and saw a guy in fork truck make a turn too fast. He wasn't wearing his seat belt and the top of the cage landed on his head. I froze for a moment, it was so horrifying. I then ran over and killed the ignition. Some other workers came and we lifted the cage up high enough to pull him out, but it was obviously too late. I can still his blood running down a nearby drain.

Halloween night, still at work, dressed as the Grim Reaper. A pregnant friend called and ask me to get her husband to cancel class because there was a family emergency. I asked if was the baby, and she said that her BIL had been killed at work when his forklift flipped on top of him. I sent security to go get him. At first he thought I was playing a trick on him, then realized I wouldn't do that. There I am, sobbing, and wishing my costume would disappear. I had to tell him about his brother, while dressed as death. It was devastating. When he returned to work, we hugged and cried, and cried.

Worked at a funeral home for 2 years. Worked an old man's wife's funeral and thought nothing of it. About 9 months later we get a call that the removal guys were bringing back a really nasty call. Head upstairs and they come out of the elevator and the removal guys had masks on (precovid summer of 2019) sprayed with air freshener. We opened the body bag and it was the old man of the wife that had been buried 9 months prior.

He died and was not found for almost 2 weeks in his house. He was black/blue/purple/green you name it. The worst smell I have ever smelled in my life. I had to remove his watch and personal belongings off of him and help put him in the cooler. They ended up cremating him. The gore and decay in that bag was scary to see as we could all end up like that after dying if no one finds us. That or the fact that all of us will decay like that underground unless we are cremated. Hit a note in my brain that day.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed I saw one of my best friends wreck his motorcycle right in front of me while we ere out riding. A guy in a Jeep Liberty pulled out to make a left hand turn right in front of us. I was riding tandem behind my pal so I had plenty of time and space to see things unfold and avoid a collision. My buddy, who didn't wear any gear, crashed in to the side of the car slamming his head against the hood. This was several years ago. My buddy lived through the ordeal and I had PTSD in a bad way. But it was terrifying watching someone I've known for over 20 years crash like that.

Having ridden motorcycles, I'm always really irritated with motorcyclists who love to speed, make unpredictable maneuvers, and tailgate, and then complain when someone makes a left or right turn across them or something. Well yes that has been long documented, many drivers subconsciously don't see motorcyclists as a threat so fail to avoid them -- or you're so unpredictable they don't have time to understand how to avoid you. So drive motorbikes cautiously, not like an immortal idiot. I've just seen so many thrill-seeking adrenaline junkies on motorcycles it's hard to feel sorry for them most of the time.

Healthcare provider here. Was in my second year of school and was on clinical rounds for the summer. Next to last day had visited a cancer patient who wanted to leave AMA (against medical advice) to go home, see his cat again, and die in peace. No problem, homie, I literally want you to go see your cat. Continued rounds until we heard a code called. Rush back to find the guy’s tumor in his lungs had ruptured and he was literally spewing blood on his bed and the floor as I walked into the room. Went unresponsive and watched them do like 10 mins of CPR before calling it. Definitely had never watched someone die before that.

40 People Are Sharing Shockingly Terrifying Things They've Witnessed Me and my friends were climbing up and jumping off of a partially collapsed damn. The side with deep water was prob a 15 foot drop and you had to climb up the slick concrete to jump off again. The left half of the damn was whole and you could walk along the top. The right half was collapsed and had about an inch of water over it. The collapsed part was rubble with rebar and all kinds of sharp metal sticking out. I was climbing on the corner, partially over water, partially over the collapsed part, when I slipped about 1 foot from the top. One of my friends on the top grabbed the back of my life jacket at the last second and held me. For a few seconds I was fully suspended over a 60 foot drop with bad s**t at the bottom. I managed to get a hold of the damn wall again and climb back up. I owe that guy my life.

At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

I'm trying to decide what was the most scary. I've seen people die through burning, shooting, electrocution, disease and car crashes. It's really gruesome. But then I realized that while those were horrible, horrible situations, I wasn't necessarily scared. When I encountered a shark in shallow water swimming towards me with its mouth slightly open, that's the most scared I have ever been. So scared, I froze. I was snorkelling, so I could see this thing under the water clear as day with my mask on, and I literally couldn't move. I watched how its teeth moved independently of its jaws, something I didn't know was possible until that very moment. That was over 40 years ago, and I still have a real problem going in any natural body of water, even if it's a pond in the middle of Europe, where there can't possibly be sharks. My brain says there are always, always sharks now.

Was walking down the block to cut through the backs of some houses to a main road. All the houses on the block backed up to an empty lot used for church parking or us riding bikes as kids. So I get to the cut through an see a Halloween dummy up in a tree. I got to the store and came back and it was still there. Blondish red hair an big eyes and flannel shirt. Jeans and no shoes just socks. Tongue out. Rope around the neck. I got home an told my dad. He went down the street but didn't come back for a while. Heard some sirens in the lot behind the house. Could barely see that end as we were on the same side of the road to look in the back lot. Turns out the kid down the road hung himself and my dad took a look and went to the parents then they called cops and ems. He was introverted and it being the end of the 70s just ended it. But I can see him clearly in my mind.

Whenever I think of it it just reminds me of how fragile life is...

For any new or future parents. No one tells you how hard it is. I had no family to help and my baby had colic for a year straight. It’s ok to put baby in a crib and take a shower. They don’t die from crying. You may feel like you made a big mistake and have dreams about running away. Hang in there. Talk to a doctor if it gets too stressful. My kid is seventeen now and well adjusted, happy. But I remember those days running on no sleep and crying my eyes out. Don’t believe the social media depictions of parenthood. It’s really hard.

Working at an amusement park that was expanding. I was backstage and noticed that a crane was getting too close to a power line. The next minute, a man literally flew from the crane, landing on a steel beam next to me. The electrical charge was so powerful that it knocked his clothes and shoes off. Logically, I knew he was dead, but I ran into wardrobe, grabbing fabric to cover him because shock victims need to be kept warm. I was reprimanded by Irvin Feld for wasting brand-new costuming material. I despised that man.

It was not so scary to see, but to hear. My mother hung herself in her house and I found her. I was 37 weeks pregnant, so i was huge. I went inside the house and saw a little wet patch, I first thought it was my kitten had an accident. Then I lift my eyes and saw her hunging by the stairs. I ran to the kitchen and grab a pair of scissors and go upstairs to cut the sheet arround her neck, but it was to thight, so I cut above the knot. Then I realized that bed sheet was my unborn child's linens I was sawing just the night before. But it was not as scary as the freaking gruesome sound of her body falling down the stairs, it was the worst. Cheked her pulse, found nothing and called the police. It has been over a decade, but I can still hear that awfull and gruesome sound. And still see the scratches she made in the stairs wall behind my eyelids. Never used white bed sheets any more.

On our way back a motorcycle was speeding and passing all the cars, one minute later we had stop hard. I go and check what happened and of course motorcyclist hit another car and was lying dead on the road (Others were already helping) I come back and they decided to see it too.

We thought she was sick until our boss informed us that she was driving home through rush hour traffic only to witness a woman pull her yellow jeep to the side of the road and run to the railing of the bridge.

I only had to hear this from where I was downstairs to be completely horrified.

Scariest thing I ever saw was my Dad laying on the kitchen floor, with his legs still "walking" while he was laying there because he didn't realize he wasn't upright. He was speaking in word salad and didn't know who anyone was. Six weeks before that, he had beat me in a game of table tennis. He had Parkinson's with Lewy-body dementia (the same as Robin Williams). Within 2-3 weeks, he had forgotten everyone for the most part. Worst is that he forgot how to swallow. I spent one afternoon dragging gobs of food that was just lingering in the back of his mouth. He forgot how to walk and talk the last few days. Last thing I heard him say that was intelligible was he hoped his friends would came and take him to a baseball game.
