Loading ...Short Story 1 (The Demon at the Door) - Submitted By Angel
I was 11 when this happened. One night, when I had gone to bed, I woke up to hear a noise and looked to my open bedroom door, where I saw a dark figure (which was outlined by the bathroom light remaining on) staring at me with red eyes. Thinking that it was my mother, I had called out to her multiple times, each time getting louder and louder. By the third time I called out to her, her red eyes did not move and I was getting frantic, screaming out to my mom and hiding beneath my covers.
Come to find out my mother was in the living room fast asleep and had woken up from my calls, running into my room. When I looked at her, the black figure had gone and I have not seen it since. But I guess I had always been afraid after that of what might be watching me or threatening to harm me at any given moment. I know that was a demon…it was too dark and felt too evil…
Short Story 2 (Party Haunting) - Submitted By Oinny
This is what happened to me on a party when I was 9. I had my 2 cousins, my best friend and my best friend’s brother over at my house. We all went into the basement to start playing around. Then, my younger cousin starts screaming. We ask him what he saw and he says, “How many people do we have?” We respond 5 and he starts to cry. He says “someone rushed past you’re friend” to me. I look at my friend and he looks terrified. He says he felt cold down there. “I didn’t” I said. I and my friend go down. We hear strange noises from behind the storage room door. My friend who is 10 has the guts to open the door. As soon as he opened it he ran screaming “A ghost grabbed at me!” We all run up again. I stared in complete horror at my best friend’s face. He was smiling horribly, his eyebrows down like he was mad. I slap him, back to his senses. I see something; I don’t know what, like a figure run down to the basement. We all agree not to go down there again for the rest of the night.
Short Story 3 (House on Halloween Hill) - Submitted By Paula Hamilton
All of the trick or treaters avoided the house on halloween hill. The owners were really scary and only ever came out at night. It started when a boy called Josh and his girlfriend were ghostbusting. Josh’s girlfriend dared him to go up to the house. So off he went up the hill. The owners had gone out for their midnight shopping. He went down the stairs to the basement and just as he got to the bottom, he heard the front door open. He hid in one of the boxes. He heard footsteps on the stairs. He opened the lid slightly and saw the woman open a fridge and take out a bottle of blood. She then went up the stairs and closed the door. He got out of the box he was hiding in and turned to look at it. To his horror there infront of him were two coffins. Before long he heard them again. Josh froze in shock. He had to hide but could not move. The door opened and in walked the owners. They saw Josh straight away. They grabbed him. He screamed. Josh was never seen again.
Short Story 4 (Don’t Look Out the Window) - Submitted By Charlotte
When i was ten me and my best mate use to sleepover at each others houses on the weekends. It was my turn to sleepover at hers. In her room she had a bunk bed facing the window and i was sleeping on the top. We were watching tv and from her window you can see a row of houses and a row of trees. It was quite dark and for some reason i just looked out of the window and stared at the nearest tree, felt like someone was watching me. All of a sudden I saw this long black leg stick out from the tree and disappear!! I told my mate and when she looked nothing was there. It gave me chills whenever we played near them trees.

It was late at night and i had just done a fresh load of laundry. When the dryer was finished i took them upstairs. I went to put my father’s clothes in his room. I sat them on a dresser with a large mirror. When i looked up from putting the clothes down a sudden flash of a person or thing was looking straight at me with curious dark black eyes. The whole of the figure was white. I quickly looked back and the spirit was gone. But I think it was looking for my mother who claimed that there was a ghost that sat on a chair nearest to the window in her bedroom every night. She had divorced my father a few weeks earlier than the night i saw the ghost. So my assumption was that it was looking for her.

For the 3rd story, If Josh went into the house alone and no one ever saw him again, how do they know that’s what happened to him?

When i was 13, i was in a band and we were rehearsing in a music room in our school. There were boxes of folders on high shelves. We were sitting near the shelves practicing. I was facing the opposite way to the shelves, and my 2 other band members were facing forward towards the shelves. We were in the middle of a song when suddenly i heard a crash. I looked round to see all the boxes on the floor and the folders scattered everywhere. My 2 friends were looking at eachother saying ‘oh my god’. I asked them what had happened and they said that the boxes had lifted themselves off the shelves and had been thrown onto the floor, hittin the drummers symbol as they fell.

This happened about 2 weeks ago.Me and my best friend were at my house.She was on the bed chosing fabric material for a hobby while I was sitting on the floor next to the wide open door.while I was laughing I turned my head and saw a girl in the hallway.She was all white exept for the kneelength black hair that was covering her face.She had mist instead of feet.She evaporated emediatly.I rushed with my phone to catch it on camera but all I got was a bloody wall.My friend was scared to see me desperate like that and she aproved my story.I sat in the spot where the ghost appeared while my friend sat next to me. Suddently my friend started screaming and jumping.When she calmed down she told me thet she saw a headless black cat coming towards me.I told her I didn’t saw anything even though I was looking in the same direction. Then it crossed my mind that only my friend could see it and just to tease her I started screaming”KITTY HERE KITTY!!!” and she jumped and I stopped screaming.She tolled me that she saw the cats tail but as soon as I stopped the tail evaporated. I proposed making a pendul and place it above a paper with letters and numbers on it. I asked if it existed and it spelled “yes”.Then I asked if thet girl is gonna kill me in seven days and it spelled”no”.I asked if they are good and they responded”yes”.I then asked them how many are there and they sayd”3″.I asked for how many years have they been watching me and the pendule crossed between a number and it’s succesor I beeing 6 months away from my birthday.That number was my current age.I asked for their names and the pendul pointed”GO TO H…”I stopped thinking they were going to say hell but they sad hallway.I sayd we can’t belive they exist until we have a photo so we made a deal we make apicture and they appear and we erase the pics if they want confidiality.We didnn’t get a ghost aor a bloody wall but a couple of disconected and old rusted wires iluminating.My friend asked where they are and they spelled”basement”.

Since I live in a flat,I do not own a key to the basement so I didn’t check.My friend took the pendul with her so I couldn’t ask questions anymore. One week later I got bored and remembered my invisible buddies.I called for them and I saw 3 paralell lights crossing my bedroom wall.I was glad to see they responded.I talked to them with yes or no questions yes being marked with those three lights.They tolled me that they know interesting things about my neighbours,that they like the company of my friend,that they don’t know any more of my friends and that they think horror movies destroy ghosts repuations.I sayd I’m sorry they died and tolled them that I would like to see the 2 unidentified ghosts.I got sleepy and saw the skeleton of an unborn baby while m computer played a strange mellody. It was a piano playing whith a ghostly voice singing about torture and pain. Since then I have yet to search the basement or talk to them again or hear that eerie song.
