It was the night before Halloween when I had realized I didnt have a costume. I couldnt believe I forgot something so important. I knew I would have to go out into the stormy darkness of the night to buy one. It was 10 pm when i decided i was ready to go. I quickly sneaked out of the creaking door and ran to my car. I was terrified of the darkness and this was the most haunted night of the entire year. When i got into my car i quickly locked the door and turned on the lights. As i began driving i saw a group of people wearing black throwing toliet paper all over someones yard. When they saw the lights of my truck they ran and hid. I didnt want to get involved so i continued driving. When i got to the spirits store, the lights were out, but sounds of ghosts were playing. I thought it was apart of their theme so i walked up to the door. It was locked! I was infruiated and i walked back to the car. Though i didnt realise that i left both my keys and phone locked in the car. There i was on the scariest night of the entire year stranded in the darkness. After twenty minutes of trying to get into the car, another car slowly drove up close to me. When the person inside got out I was very nervous but it turned out to be my dad. He was angry, he said he had saw that I wasnt in my room and when he tracked my phone he saw where I was. I felt so relieved even though he was angry. I told him what had happened and he had my spare keys in his car. I followed him home threw the dark misty roads untill we finally were safe at home.
ReplyDeleteIt was a scary night on halloween kids were trick or treating at night time and it was raining with loud winds that were very scary because it sounded like someone was screaming when we got to this one door we went to it opened very slowly and no one was there when it was all the way open it was very scary at the time but we just walked away from it. When we close to my friends house we heard laughing at like 12 o'clock near us and we were close to my friends house so we started to run and as we ran it got louder then we heard footsteps from the back of us. We saw a car and we got into it and ducked down. We looked up and saw the person start looking around we saw that he had a bat and we didn't know why he was chasing after us. When he was gone we got out of the car and started running the other direction to a short cut to my house. When we got there we went inside and since my mom wasn’t home we just hung out in the living room. When we heard a bang and lights turn on we got scared but it was my mom home.Then there was a violent storm that was scary and we saw the person and called 911 and then we never saw him again and me and my friend never went to the house or went out past 12 since what we had to experience was not because we could have got hurt if we didn’t escape that person and it would have been bad for our trick or treating but nothing happened after that day or anymore.

ReplyDeleteOn Halloween night also known as All Hallows Eve, a group of teens were out celebrating the night with a party. The music was blaring, but a bone chilling sound overpowered the music coming from the cellar of the house. Quickly after everyone went on having fun until lights went out, the music stopped, and the sound screamed again. The owner of the house gathered candles and flashlights from around the house. Everyone crept downstairs into the cellar to find the source of the noise, but only to find a riddle written in the dust on the ground in front of a dirty Ouija board. “The party has ceased, but the fun of the game has just begun. Play to Party”. Each of the members in the group joked and played along. What they did not know was this game was not a game at all.
They all gathered in the living room in a circle, cracking jokes about the game and they started unaware of the rules. Beginning the game fear sank into each heart gathered in the circle as the planchette slowly moved to each letter spelling “L.E.T. U.S. P.L.A.Y.” Everyone’s smile dropped and terror fell throughout the room. In the candlelit dark each person asked a question, trying to avoid the inevitable feeling of fear in their chests. The jokester of the group had begun to poke fun at the game and the seriousness of it all, until he was quickly quieted with the force of a spirit. Each and every person’s face paled and hearts began to race. One by one candles and flashlights went out until pure darkness settled along with the fear of what will happen next. Every person in that room feared the journey of the long night ahead.
“Bang!” the door slams shut behind the group. They didn’t think too much into it thinking, it may be the wind, or someone slammed it behind them. The room they entered was dark and musty. Walking in you almost had a sensation that the air was palpable, or as if someone’s presence was there. There was lots of tension but no one mentioned it thinking they were the only ones feeling it, but everyone was.
ReplyDeleteWithout hesitation they continued throughout the abandoned house. They all soon forgot the door and were used to the air and tension by now. While they’re walking, someone noticed something strange. At first they didn’t say anything but again he saw something that made his spine shiver. It was as if the walls were oozing red and it wouldn’t stop. He finally said something and when he did it stopped, everyone yelled at him saying he was trying to ‘scare’ them but the only one scared was him.
Again the kid saw something strange, he was a figure that looked like a tall man with no face looking right at them. Everyone stopped because everyone saw it. One kid continued to walk towards the figure saying he wanted to play and that he was nice. Everyone screamed at him but he continued to go. The figure began to call each of them over one by one by their names. Each followed one another to him, except for two kids. They thought it was a joke, but little did they know it wasn’t. They realized it wasn’t funny anymore, and began to run and try to get out. The one kid tripped and the other one did not stop for him. The figure then began to take the kid who fell. The other kid didn’t turn around cause he didn’t want to die.
He kept going and finally got out, being the only one left he was scared he didn’t know what to tell anyone. He knew no one would believe him, they’d call him crazy. The police soon found out all these kids were dead but him, thinking that was suspicious they questioned him. He tried to tell them about the ‘figure’ but they did not believe him. They soon took him to the nut house to get help. He finally felt safe and wasn’t upset anymore. He then was about to go to sleep turned over, and the figure was there and before he could scream they were both gone, forever.
It was a cold summer night, i was watching youtube in my bed just like any ordinary but this night felt different. All I was hearing was the sound of the storm that was right over my house. It got very annoying but I managed to sleep until I woke up to the sound of a bang that came from the thunder. I bursted up with my heart pumping really fast. At first I was frightened, but soon managed to calm myself down. As I was calming down I noticed that my door was opened and my window slightly opened as well. When I got up to close my door, I saw that my dog was just sitting, staring at my sister’s door. I was wondering what this imbecile was looking so I decided to look in my dog’s point of view. All I saw was my was the white, blank door in front. I started to get a little bit creeped so I went and got my cat so I could some sort of comfort, and warmth from my cat while I try to go back to sleep. Immediately I woke probably 30 minutes later and I saw that my cat was just going in circles on my rug. I tried to pick my cat up but he wasn’t having it. So I let him out of my room. After a few seconds I start hearing my cat meowing. As I went to grab my phone for a light, my door starts opening very slowly. When I shined my light towards my door, it slams almost instantly. I tried to run out of my room to see who did that but the door wouldn’t opened. After countless attempts to get this door open, it at last, opens and when it does, all i see is this terrifying person dressed in white with its hair covering its face. I closed the door in its face and hoped that it went away the next time I opened. When I opened it wasn’t there and I immediately went and told my mom what had happened, but she didn’t believe me. Ever since that night I decided to buy a night light like a little boy and keep it plugged while I went to sleep.
ReplyDeleteThroughout the years of dating this guy, it’s been nothing but trouble. I feel as if we weren’t meant to be because all we do is argue about the tiniest of issues and, did i mention he cheated on me? I guess you could say that this relationship was so toxic, I was physically and mentally abused. I stayed because I felt like I had no one else to depend on. Everyone was turning their back on me for a reason that I didn’t even know. He ended up moving not to long ago and thought I was cheating so he broke up with me. Ever since he broke up with me things have been so weird and everything's so different. The air doesn’t feel clean it just feels observant. Although just the other day i found some of his clothes in my attic and i swear I left it on the front porch. I suppose i should've taken the house key back. Changing the lock is such a blur. I know what he’s capable of and it’s not frightening but it’s tiring of having to have your guard up because you think that something might have at any minute. Since i’m zoned out from the family i write these blogs and speaking of which i didn’t pay the internet bill, Sometimes my sister calls in every now and then but it get’s so frustrating having to mouth everything out since she doesn’t understand sign language. I wish there was any easier way to express my feelings but no one’s there to actually listen to me. I was reading a book by Edgar Allen Poe and it was so interesting because it involves how the men would take the eyes out the women they loved, my ex also loved books like that, I should probably stop mentioning him. I just felt the vibration of my door open, It can’t be anyone i know because there’s a password to unlock it. I can’t even see who’s in here the lights were just cut off. I’m gonna facetime my sister and she if she can come and switch them back on. It’s weird because I remember leaving my phone on the kitchen counter and it’s no longer there. I’m receiving pictures of me writing this, I turned around and there was no one there. My hot spot just got turned off,........

Haunted house
ReplyDelete.In a small, hidden village there was an abandoned house on which many stories were told. One Halloween day, four friends. Maricruz, Sara, Avi and Andres, approached to inspect, but before entering they heard a shout and decided to leave. but it was time to ask for candy, they kept asking who could have been in that place and decided to approach again. It was not even 12:00 at night, but when they arrived they felt a chill, they entered and when they were walking, a porcelain doll fell in their way; it did not seem to frighten them and they followed the course; They found two chairs in front of a fireplace which had blood, there was also a candle and a music box that opened from nothing and began to sound.
Scared, they looked for the way out, but some shadows the alcanso and there they understood everything: as in a movie, they could see a girl of about 11 years playing while her parents were down cuddling her brother, a baby, the girl crying because she wanted her parents to play with her but she did not pay attention to her after a while the girl got very angry and took a knife and went downstairs to the room where she killed her parents and her brother. The four friends understood that the girl felt jealous of the attention stolen and decided to take revenge. When they tried to leave, they say that the girl cursed them, and since then, every Halloween night, Maricruz, Sara, Avi and Andres visit that house and spend hours playing with the spirit
It was the most horrifying experience in my and that i regret doing and that was playing an ouija, board by myself, now you gatta understand there are 3 simple rules that need to be followed 1.never play alone 2.don't play in a cemetery 3.always say goodbye.I never believed in ghost or all that i was young and never cared, so one day i was at a thrift shop and i found the ouija board.i didn't buy because it was old and would never work.Next day my friend Alexa told her experience with the ouija board and said she communicated with her mom that pasted away from cancer 10 years ago and i criticized her and said i was all in your head or you must've been smoking marijuana, so i remember that i had a a grandpa who i loved so much while i was growing up because he taught so much about cars and because my parents were busy working i never really had the chance t spend time with them as much as i did with my grandpa.All that day iwas thinking about going back to buy the ouija, but it took me a couple of days to finally make a decision.I ended up bying the ouija, so night came by and it was time.I placed some candles and stared to play.I asked if there was anyone here no respone, then iasked grandpa bill are you here with me, and the glass responded yes i started to cry and asked him where you are.Then i was spelling a word Zozo then it was quite and i couldnt move my body i stared to get scared so i ended the session and from there my life began to change. I stard to be anti social never talked.I kept hearing voice in my head that would not leave me alone.This happened for a month or so untill..my friend was by and came in and she saw my body cracking in ways no human should be then soon i feel to the ground puking blood adn screaming soem wierd language. Someone had control over my entire body and i was paralzeyd when i woke up.As the days go on i remembered i never said GGODBYE
ReplyDeleteWow I have chills , great story . I loved it and I also have played the ouiji board as well it's scary so I never play alone.
DeleteThe door made an unusual sound as the strange shadow walked though. Nobody heard it even though Sandi was in the kitchen cooking while the kids were in the opposite room playing. The shadow continued down the hallway. At this point sandi felt like someone was watching her. She got the chills and hurried and got her kids.The black shadow stared them down and sandi hurried faster and rushed to her car. They never returned. She knew ¨it¨ was out to get her. She never returned to the house. The bank eventually sold the house to a new owner. When they moved in, John told Amy he felt really weird, and uncomfortable in the new house. She explained how it was just a new place and he had nothing to worry about. But, that night John had a dream about that same black shadow figure. This was really weird. He woke up in a panic out of breath. Amy woke up and tried to comfort her. He explained the dream and she told him he was being silly. That morning John kept seeing shadows of objects that reminded him of the figure. But then, he saw it. He knew it was ¨it.¨ He saw it hovering over his wife in their bed. She was dead. No movement or anything. He ran so fast he does not remember him going out of the house. He told the police and they said she died of natural causes. He knew what he saw. He was not letting this go. He slept in a hotel the next few weeks, but ¨it¨ found him. He was reported dead the next day. ¨It¨ was trying to protect something. We don't know if we'll ever know what it, or what it was that ¨it¨ was protecting.
ReplyDeleteSheriff John Yeager sat in the cab of his police truck drinking his coffee waiting for his partner to get back. It was three in the morning and him and his partner Chris Vaughn got called into a noise complaint for screaming at a vacant house. He figured it was just kids messing around, their town was like a ghost town at night and the kids liked to mess around. The town was so small it was just John, his partner, and a there secretary Lily Kipps back at the station. Chris came around the back of the house with his flashlight walking through the tall grass he yelled
ReplyDelete“I don’t see anyone probably just some kids”
John started up the old pickup truck that had been in use since the town was founded in 1977 originally it was just a mining town until a huge accident which caused the deaths and disappearances of over three hundred people. The funding was never found to pay for the excavation of the bodies so sometimes kids playing in the mines will find one. John put the truck in gear and took off as soon as Chris stepped in,
“Let's go get something to eat at the diner, I’m hungry” said John as he took off down the old dirt back road if it wasn’t for the KC lights on the roof burning off the fog he couldn’t see more than five feet in front of him. They were on there way back into town when Lily called and said the Security guard at the mine called and said people are coming out of the mine. John turned around turned on the lights and took off towards the mine, after the accident a gas leaked from what was left of the mine. The crack heads of the town used to go into there to breath the gases, three months later they went missing and one was found naked covered in blood walking into town one day. They were approaching the gate when john said
“Grab the masks encase we have to go in”. He put the truck in park at the security hut and couldn’t find the guard. They grabbed their rifles and flashlights put on their masks and started to head into the mine. The small town had no street lights so it was as dark as the deep sea. They put on their masks and walked in, about a hundred feet in was there “break room” they found the breaker and flicked the switch the dim lights that still had bulbs turned on. Something shorted and the breaker sparked and the electricity coursed through the wires the lights went out and they heard rocks crumbling. They ran to the entrance but it was caved in. chris had dropped his light in the run and his mask shattered from a falling rock. John sat over him pulling the mask off looks at the glass stuck in his face.
“Don’t move buddy I’ll radio for Lily and she’ll send help” said John with a muffled voice through his mask it wasn’t the first time it had caved in on them but the first time his mask broke. Chris gasped trying to hold his breath
“ the gas john the gas” the cuts on his face started to bubble john said
“I’m gonna go get another mask from the break room I’ll be right back”,he took off running.
“No John don’t leave me I can hear them” behind him john heard a single gunshot. Chills ran down his back he instantly thought of the crackheads they claimed to hear voices they referred to as them and then they became suicidal. He had his rifle in one hand and his light in the other, he found ducktape in the “break room” and taped the light to the rifle. He was running on blind rage now Chris had been his best friend and he believed that there was actually someone in here with him who convinced Chris to shoot himself.
He walked deeper into the mine then his walk turned to a jog he was down to find someone then he started sprinting. He ran so deep he didn't know where he was anymore then he saw a man holding a lantern and a old shotgun. He pointed his rifle and fired every shot at him deafening himself with every shot. Then he threw down the rifle and fired every shot of his pistol aside from one. Then he heard clear as day
“Join us John” in an old man voice and felt blood trickle down his chest and his gun was empty now.
It was a horrible experience I had a couple of years ago when my oldest sister was still living at home with us. It was a dark and stormy late night. My sister and I were trying to fall of sleep in the room but we couldn’t because we kept hearing noises of footsteps in the hallway. The wind howling and tapping noises on the windows from tree branches made the experience more more terrifying. Not too long after we had fallen asleep, I woke up to my sister squirming next to me hitting me because she could not breath. She was gasping for air and making weird noises like she was choking; or something was choking her, while clutching her neck. She could hardly move. My sister kept pointing to the light switch on the wall. I immediately ran to flip the switch and as soon as I turn on the light, I saw a shadow figure flying out the room. After seeing that, I froze. I felt chills all over my body and I couldn’t move. We looked at each other and I could see the fear in her eyes. We started shaking uncontrollably, screaming and crying. All of the sudden, the door slammed shut. We were scared to death and could not believe what was happening in our own house. It felt like we were in a horror movie. An evil presence could be felt all over the room. All of the screaming and chaos woke my mom and my baby sister up. We told my mom what had happened, but she did not believe any of us. To this day, my mom claims that my sister was having a nightmare and that my eyes were playing tricks on me because I can not see very well without my glasses.
ReplyDeleteSpring was coming, the weather was beautiful and everyone was filled with joy to know school will be over soon. It was the last Friday before spring break and home room bell had just rang, students were running to their classrooms until the haunted discovery had been made... inside the girls locker room they had found about four or five bodies of the kids who had stayed after the day before . Kids were screaming teachers were crying and the families were wondered how and who would do such a thing. Vicious crimes are unheard of in our small town , everybody knows eachother and the city is very friendly to new comers. Still each place isn't perfect. As classrooms were put on locked down & teachers and kids from the first period gym class were taken to guidance to calm down from what they had just discovered I heard mounds of parents in in the office demanding to know what was going on and if their child was ok. I was also wondering if my best friend was ok , I haven't heard from her since yesterday and she hadn't been in class this morning I wonder if one of those body's were hers. All we can do is wait while the cops have us locked in our rooms we wonder who could it have been or who had been hurt, our small town and our great school and just been dragged through the mud with this tragedy and I wonder everything I ever thought was a lie about where I live. How could such evil be lurking around us ? Theirs no lead and no explanation to what happened so we're all going home school is closed until they figure out what's going on. As soon as they released us I walked passed the main office and seen Mrs. smith weeping and I knew it was true , my best friend for 10+ years was one of those kids lying lifeless in the locker room and now I feel determined to find out who had done this . Me and another friend had plan to stake out the school tonight against my parents wishes . As we wait we notice a large body in all black climb down from the roof, we immediately follow. As they run I'm trying my hardest to keep up until they turn around, I have been spotted . I dove into the bushes trying to hide from this serial killer but I know it's too late i to will be next . I look up to the face of the murderer and it just so happens to be my best friend .
ReplyDeleteIt was a wednesday evening and there was this boy ryan chill walking home from school. He was walking with his Iphone X playing some 8 ball. When in the corner of his eye you someone with a bag towards ryan chill and putting it on him. Ryan was screaming at the top of his lungs, kicking and moving with aggression. He started to see dark with every second until he passed out. Ryan Chill woke up only to see himself inside a small cage and trapped inside a dungeon. Then some foot steps could be heard with a creepy voice followed. Ryan heart was beating as fast as light. The door opened up and you see someone walk in. This person was wearing a clown costume and began to talk. His voice was deep with a angry attitude. The guy was talking about how good the boy will be as a slave. Ryan Chill started to crying in fear. The guy got up next to a desk. He pulled out knife and a saw. The blade of the saw was different it had something on it. What looked to be fresh blood. Ryan Chill was asking the mystery man questions. Like “Who are you” and “What do plan to do”. Out of nowhere ryan heard screams. It sounded like little children. This made him even more petrified, he could feel tears coming down his eyes and hear his heart pumping as fast as lighting. The mystery man started to talk to himself like a crazy man. Then out of nowhere licked the blood from the saw. He started to sharpen the big knife he had and also licking more blood. After that happened he turned to ryan laughed and pulled a gun and shot him in the head. THE END

ReplyDeleteOne eerie night,walking back home from the grave of my dearest wife whom died yesterday. On the streets of the dark empty city ways. There I saw something that appeared to be a human figure. Yet when I walked up to it went away. So I left it alone and forgot about it. After awhile I felt something behind me and I turn around and a white cat appeared. As i picked up the cat i saw that it black marks that appeared to be letters. As a curious person that I am, I brought it home to take care of it. I went home to go to feed the cat and went to sleep shortly after.
ReplyDeleteThen the next day woke up to notice that the cat had disappeared. I also notice a paper with the same letters on the cat. That paper was abnormal to see so i left alone and went to my wife’s grave again. Upon entering the graveyard i felt the same sensation that someone was behind me watching my every move. Yet instead of turning around i kept walking. As i got to her grave the same white cat appeared but with different letter inscribed in its furr. But when i left the grave i decided to leave the cat alone, which was the worst idea i’ve ever had. Upon returning home i opened the door to see that the cat was already there. As terrified as i was to see that the cat had come back and made its way inside, i left it alone. Again i went to bed, to wake up to the cat missing with the paper with more letter writing on it. Once more, i didn't care as much and left it alone. But after a couple of days of the cat missing and reappearing the letters on the paper started to make more sense. Yet when i read it. The words were the last words my dearest wife said on the day of her death. “You’ll never be the same after my death as i know your dark secrets that you kept from me…liar.” Moments later the human like figure appeared in front of me. With horns on its head and a staff in it’s hand.Darkness and coldness started to overwhelm my body and i dropped to the ground for the last time in my life.
