Supernatural stories consist of ghosts, vampires, witches, werewolves and anything else that goes beyond natural occurrences. Real life horror stories consist of kidnappings, murderers and serial killers. I personally find them both terrifying. However, there is no doubt that real-life horror stories are far scarier than supernatural stories, not only because these are real-life occurrences but also because the kind of people in such stories can be hard to spot.
Kidnappers, serial killers, and murderers could live among us, and be so good at hiding their crimes that it’s impossible to spot them. If I were to see a werewolf or a ghost, I would know exactly who or what to avoid. However, a serial killer who is good at blending in with average people; how would I know to avoid them if they act like an average Joe? Another thing to think about would be how often does one run into werewolves? Never have I heard a story about a werewolf getting caught for tearing someone’s guts out of their body, but I have heard stories of murderers doing such things to people who go missing.
Supernatural stories are fun to listen to and to ponder on. The mystery of whether they are real or not makes it exciting. Real life horror stories are anything but. I would not get excited and intrigued hearing about a murderer roaming around my hometown but I would feel that way if someone told me that a witch was my neighbor.
