I've got two stories that aren't really paranormal but i've been scared shitless both times
>was a teenager, it was late autumn and i moved with my parents to a village
>we finished moving our stuff around afternoon, which is when i decide i wanna check out the neighborhood
>i go past a pig farm to a little evergreen forest i thought looked cool
>original plan was to just take a peek inside it, remember where it is, go home and come back some other day when i have more daylight to explore
>add kicks in
>let's explore some more
>i go past a train track, after that the track starts curving in a bow
>after i reach the end of the curve panic kicks in, my parent's don't know i'm here, i only told them i'd be in the neighborhood, i gotta get home as fast as i can, it's already dark
>decide to cut across the woods rather than remain on the curved track, to save time
>run for 5 minutes straight, still haven't reached the other end of the track
>realization hits me
>idk where the fuck i am and i lost sense of time
>start panicking even more
>calm down, take a deep breath
>it's too dark to see shit so I rely on my hearing
>in the distance I hear the faint sound of a train passing by
>head in that direction
>reach the train tracks eventually after some 10 minutes of stumbling the the thick darkness of the woods
>it's not a familiar part of the tracks
>wait for another train to pass to get some sense of direction
>S2 train to the next city, so i know to go the opposite direction
>turns out i wondered really far and reached my original position only after like half an hour of walking next to the train tracks
when i finally got home my parents woudln't let me venture on my own for some months but i was so scared that i didn't even mind
