Most Horrifying Story I Have Ever Read!

 

   Do you believe in ghosts? 
   Do ghost stories scare you?
   I don't know about you, but I do believe in ghosts...and at the same time I don't. Confusing, right? There are somethings that can be explained scientifically and some things that can't be explained. Those things that can't be explained, I say, is the work of the supernatural. Though, that's my opinion. And ghost stories? Nah! It's rare to find me scared of ghost stories. 
   Now why do I bring up ghosts? I'm working on this project that involves Great Britain and the supernatural. Wanting to know about both, I began to search the web for myths and legends that take place in Great Britain. I found a website that held a lot of information and legends about Britain's landmarks. But this website, also, contained personal experiences that people shared. I read some of these experiences and most of them were pretty average and non-scary. However, one story caught my eyes and actually managed to freak me out! This is the story of The Screaming Waitress. You can read the story by clicking on the story's title, but I will give a quick summary of what happens, with spoilers. So don't read on unless you don't mind the spoiler.
   (SPOILER ALERT - Beginning)
   The narrator travels to London to visit their brother. The narrator doesn't clarify their gender in the story, so I will assume the narrator is a man. (My apologies if I mistaken the gender). So the narrator arrives at the hotel late and the hotel's restaurant was closed, so he decided to look around the area to find a place to eat. He finds a place still open and eats there. He gets to know the waitress since it was just them in the restaurant. But the strange thing was, the waitress knew him and his plans he had for the next few days. The narrator found that strange, but simply brushed it off.
   After he finished his meal, he stuck around to keep the waitress company until she was ready to leave. She went into the back room to, what the narrator assumed, put away the money. When she took a long time to come out, he went to check on her. When he peeked into the room, he found it dark with the waitress on the other side of the room. However, she wasn't her normal self. She had black eyes and "clammy" skin with her mouth wide open. She, then began to scream and yelled something in what the narrator presumed was Latin. The narrator was so frightened, he ran out of the restaurant with the creepy waitress running after him. He ran out, into his car, and drove away. But when he looked in his rear-view mirror, he saw her in the backseat  of the car! He, immediately, slammed on the brakes and looked back again. She was gone. 
   At the time when the narrator was typing up his story, he still felt the presence of that waitress, watching him.
   (SPOILER ALERT - ENDED)
   Pretty creepy stuff! If I were him, I wouldn't step foot in London ever again!
