長い廊下 reminded me a lot of the movie Grave Encounters (which is not very good, but also features an abandoned hospital). Especially with the endless corridor. > [@2OC3aOdKgwSGlxfz](#): > > Personally I found the “ghost story within the ghost story” about the guy that took the medical record from the hospital, would get phone calls and suddenly appear at the hospital more interesting than the actual one with the nurse chasing them in the endless corridor. Yes, same, I was expecting something similar to happen to them, like they became patients in the hospital, but no, they just ran away from the nurse for a while. ---

> **山道** > > I liked this one because I used to live on a haunted road, and one of the most common spirits people encountered was a man running 40mph alongside your car at night. I never saw him though. Of all the spirits and aparitions and weird stuff I saw there, Parkour Man was sadly not one of them… ---

Both of these stories were very classical! I personally enjoyed them, but they could be a bit more fleshed out. The second one reminds me a bit of the man door hand hook car door > **Favorite short horror story** > > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/4X/6/b/a/6ba81e6d4f0a7666ae69f04d7fdb3c8b7323a3d6.jpeg) ---
