In Fall of 2017, a young man named Gravy was walking down the road as he noticed a small animal just standing in the distance! He had realized the animal glaring at him and eventually they made serious eye contact, and started to stare at eachother... When Yung Gravy realized that the animal in the distance was a stray black cat he had looked away and proceeded to walk down the street to his house and didn't really think much of the cat he had seen earlier that night. Eventually it was way later and Gravy decided he was going to make an appearance at the party up the road and this is where his day had changed and he would realize that him staring into the black cats eyes was probably the worst mistake he had ever made! Now, he would start realizing that his bad luck was from looking into the cat's eyes and he started tripping and falling everywhere! his phone had fell in water, and he cracked the screen. He had gone home and his car broke down. Gravy had now regretted being curious about the animal in the street and that would bother him for the rest of the night, and he would think about falling into the cats trap for the rest of his night, and for days to come!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your story. Its funny how the story is about Yung Gravy. Thats crazy how he was still having such bad luck for days after he saw the black cat.
DeleteIt was 9 o’clock, my buddies and I had just finished playing video games down in the basement of my house. My parents had left about an hour or so ago for the airport so nobody else was home. My house is the last on the right on the dirt road. Next to this really creepy abandoned church I wasn’t a big fan of. We had all went into the living room leaving my friend Ricky in the kitchen to get a drink. A couple minutes passed until we heard a gas break and we rushed into the kitchen. He was standing there looking out into the back yard and what we saw was terrifying. There it was standing there, a tall black figure, eyes wide open, his smile covering half his face, bent over looking at us. I will never forget that smile. It sent chills down my spine. He was standing in front of the old church about 30 yards from my house and we stood their staring at him for what felt like an eternity when suddenly he made his way towards my house and we all scrambled to lock all the doors and windows and called 911. Only thing was the phones were dead. We could not reach anyone and were hidden in the basement bedroom when all the lights went out. My heart was racing as I hide in my bedroom closet unaware of my friends locations when i heard a scream come from the bedroom next to mine and tried to cover my loud breathing. The foot steps coming down the hall made its way to my room until something fell from the bathroom. I knew this was my only chance to make a run for it and so I did right out the front door down the street till i waved down a near by car to stop. We got help and my friends had gone missing and I moved later that month. Still to this day waiting to see if ill ever hear from my friends again.
ReplyDeleteI like your story. You can relate to how the character is feeling in that moment. I also like the ending with a question wondering if you will ever see your friends again.
DeleteWatch out! We have just stepped into a old abandoned castle with gargoyle statues surrounding house and broken squeaky floors with stains on them we can't see well because it's very dark. We only see a flicker of light at the end of the hallway and a old fallen apart spiral staircase. We are slowly walking towards that little bit of light its very dark so we have use our sense of touch and feel our way around. While we are trying to walk towards the light we stumble across this big bump on the ground so we stopped and try to focus on what it was and this thing was under a floor rug so we lifted it up
ReplyDelete“WHAT THE HECK” yelled jack one of the kids that was with me and it was a bunch of dead rats all bunched up. It also had a awful smell to it we put the rug back on it and continued but now walking very nervous and scared because we don't know could be next. We are close to the light and now we can see more but it seems there some type of writing on the wall but it seems they used blood to write and says “watch out” so we just booked it we ran from the way we came we went to open the door but it was locked and did not open. Bang a loud noise was coming from upstairs sounded like a bunch of bowling balls feel we all feared for our lives and we started to hear a woman crying and moaning but like a insane person. We were so scared that jimmy my friend just broke the window with his head and we all just left through the window and we ran as fast as we could then never returned.
On october 24 kate updated her iphone 7 to the newest apple ios update that was just released. As she was setting up her phone after it updated, the recommended icloud username was not her username. It did not phase her, she figured it was her brothers username. She asked her brother kyle if it was his username and he said that it was not his and he was not sure whose username it was. She just blew it off and paid no mind to it, she typed in her username and got into her icloud. She was going through her phone making sure she had all of her stuff that she had in her phone, then she realized that some of her stuff wasn't there and some stuff she has never seen before. She asked her brother kyle again if any of it was his, just thinking that maybe some stuff had gotten confused. He denied and said that it wasn't his. She went into the pictures and found all of her pictures from trips, pictures of her and her pictures of her friends and her boyfriend. She then comes across pictures of herself, and then pictures of herself that she had not taken. She asked her boyfriend and her brother if they had taken the pictures, and they both said no and swore on it. She started to get really sketched out and a little concerned about the pictures, she signed out of her icloud account and signed into the icloud account that was recommended and realized it was jared's account. Jared had passed away 3 years ago. But the pictures were dated from 3 days before. She called jared's parents to get no answer. She realized someone had to of been watching her that used jared's account. The next day she went on her phone on jared's icloud account and the pictures were gone and the whole account was deactivated.
ReplyDeleteThere was two guys name Steven and Anthony. Steven likes to bully people and Anthony is the victim. One day Anthony got tired of Steven bullying him. Anthony kidnapped steven later after school. Anthony locked Steven up in a creepy old house. Steven was trying to shout for help but no one could hear him because the house is isolated and hidden.
ReplyDeleteSteven saw a lady wearing a white dress walking around the street. Steven yelled for her help and she ignored. Steven cried like a little baby because he is helpless. Anthony returned to the house the next day and Steven was starving. Anthony gave him a piece of bread. Steven his door opened and saw the same lady crawling towards his room with a smile on her face. Steven was screaming and trying to get out of the room but everything was locked. The lady was holding a knife and pointed it at Steven and Steven cried for help. Anthony came back in the house and saw Steven laying down Steven asked Anthony for his forgiveness and asked for his help. The lady began doing magics on Steven and Anthony. A crow went out from Steven’s mouth and a spider went out from Anthony’s mouth. They both escaped from the room and hid to another room. Anthony began calling the police and the lady yelled for their name and knocked on their door. Anthony had just finished contacting the police and they both stayed in the room while the lady tried to break through the door. The police just came and the police yelled for them both . Steven and Anthony both rushed outside and went to the police. They both explained what happened while the police took them home. The police said that the lady that was trying to kill them was a dead witch that wants revenge. Steven and Anthony both came home crying to their parents and steven regrets bullying Anthony.

ReplyDeleteIn 1935,these two boys,Jonathan and Gunner, were riding on their bikes to a empty part of the city called the outskirts. They had seen abandon houses board up and nothing in it. Jonathan wasn’t scared and gunner was so scared so he always let Jon go first in any place that was dark. Since it was getting dark gunner wanted to go home but jon wanted to check out this old house that was said to be hunted. He thought people was just messing with him. So he was going there but gunner said that if he goes there , he will leave him alone. Jon said screw it and went anyway. Gunner had taken his bike and started to ride away but remembered that he doesn’t have the map or know the way back. So he forced his way back to Jon. They were at the front of the gates were they were locked. Gunner had given the idea since that they were locked they couldn’t get in. So he proposed that they go back home. Jon had a different idea , he wanted to break the locks with a rock.When he going at it it didn't work. Then gunner had spoken and said that if the last hit didn’t work they would go back home ,Jon agreed. When the last swing had hit nothing happen. So they started to walk back to their bikes. Then the gates slowly behind them. They enter, everything is cold and destroyed. Jon had wanted to explore more but gunner said they since they went in as part of the deal , now they can go back. As soon as he says that the doors slowly close. Gunner is shook of what happened,Jon figures that it was just the wind ,so he goes to the door to open it. When he pulled the handle it open showing gunner it was just the wing. Then it slams shut shaking both Jon and gunner. Jon was like we need to find another way out. All the windows were close with wooden boards all over them. Then the door opens it was pitch black they both decided to go in. They were never seen again
ReplyDeleteA few years back, there was this kid named Daniel that everyone knew and liked. He loved video games and electronics. One night he was on his xbox playing his games and chatting with his friends. The normal thing he usually did at night. While chatting a gamer came on and inviting him to his group. He never heard of him before. He was unsure if he should accept him. He asked his fellow friends if anyone knew who this gamer was. As he is asking his friends, the gamer messages him to hurry up. None of his friends knew him. Against his better judgement he decides to add him. When he does, the unknown gamer starts to chat with him. Asking about his friends and family. It was really creepy because Daniel did not know this person. He asks who he is. The gamer never answers him. Instead he keeps asking personal questions that only his friends and family would know. So, Daniel decides to leave the chat party because it started to creep him out and he was home alone. The gamer then messages him asking why he left. Daniel ignores him, but he keeps messaging him. The gamer tells Daniel that he knows where he lives and if he is not going to answer then he will come to him. Daniel thinks its a joke and keeps on ignoring him. The doorbell rings. Daniel jumps. The doorbell rings again with knocking on the door. Daniel creeps to the front door and looks out the peephole. It was only the pizza delivery guy with his pizza he had ordered. So after he gets his pizza he goes back to his room to his Xbox. The gamer was still messaging him. He asked his friends if anyone else is getting messages and they all said no. Daniel decided to still ignore him. He keeps on playing. After awhile Daniel's friends have noticed that he has talked in awhile. They start saying his name but all they could hear was static from his headset. Then all of a sudden they see he logged out. And that is the last they heard of him.
ReplyDeleteOn a dark, rainy thursday night the Williams just moved into the thought to be abandoned mansion. The new family walked towards the house shaking in fear, the windows all smashed, doors would screech when opened. After about a week they were settled in, now it's just a matter of time until they meet there unwanted guest the worst part about the new house was how isiolated it was,it was the deepest house in the woods miles from civilization.
ReplyDeleteThe oldest son Juan was wondering around late at night exploring the house, he started hearing noses from the basement. He slowly inched his way towards the basement, juans fear started taking over he started shaking in his boots. The Noises got louder and creeper as he got closer, the door was bolted with 6 locks and labeled keep out but this won't stop juan so he begins to unlock the bolts. The door squeaked open, juan started walking down the dark, mysterious stairwell Juans teeth were clinking together it was louder than the noise of whatever awaits him. He got to the bottom of the steps, what he saw put him on shock, he let out a giant yelp as he ran upstairs but the noise followed, then a sudden silent struck the house. This would be the last time anyone has ever seen juan.
It 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.
