Is this for skeptics or believers?

Both — many questions are framed as "have you experienced X" rather than "do you believe X", so skeptics still have plenty to answer.

Will it actually scare people?

Less than a horror movie, more than a true-crime podcast. The scariest part is usually someone else's answer.

Good for kids at a sleepover?

Older kids yes, younger kids be careful — some questions touch on death and break-ins.

Why people ask this

Fear questions reveal something real: what people are scared of tells you more about them than what they are proud of. Scary questions get traction because everyone wants to know if their weird experience was unique or universal — usually it is more universal than they thought. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
