Dispatched
There was something odd in the tone of the dispatcher’s voice when he called to tell me a person needed picking up at Bramlett Road late one summer night in 1947. I shuddered when I heard the name of the street. I did not want to go anywhere near that…
The lady in the bathroom
About ten years ago my 3 year old son and I moved into a new house. Well, it was new to us, but it was actually a very old house. The inside of the house always seemed to be just a little darker and a little colder than it should…
The Farm Visitor
I was 7, my brother 10, my mom in her early 40s, my grandmother (her mom) in her 60’s. So we were all cogent. No one was too young or too senile to not recall this nonsense. Yet, still no bloody answer. Grandma lived on an isolated country road in…
Something Is Under The Bed

A Message on the Car Radio
This story is in two parts. The first part took place in New York City shortly after my boyfriend died. Of course I was devastated when this happened. He was to be buried in his native Ireland, but on the day of his funeral in Ireland they had a memorial…

What Happens After Dark
What do you think happens after dark? Do you imagine that night crawlers creep around outside your house? For me this was the scariest thing I have ever discovered. Here is my story about what lurks about after dark. I was never a believer in the paranormal. In fact, I…

The Man in the Mirror
The Man in the Mirror is a scary story about someone who has a horrifying dream they can’t remember. Then all hell breaks loose. I woke up gasping for air. I just had a dream but I can’t remember what it was. I shake off the disturbed feeling I had…
The Med Student
I stood outside the metal double doors. Being in a morgue at 11:30 in the evening didn’t excite me at all. If it wasn’t so important I wouldn’t have come here tonight. It’s not that I was scared of dead bodies, far from it. After all, what can a dead…
Creepy Apartment
This happened when I was still a college student. My sister was helping me clean up and move all my stuff to this cheap apartment I found near my university. There was only a small kitchen and another room that I planned to use as the bedroom as well as…
Tripping Bathroom
Our office bathroom is a bit weird. Here is why… As I came out of the bathroom one day, I fell on the tile floor really hard and scrapped my knee. It’s weird because there is nothing there to trip on. Back at the resting room, two of my co-workers…

The Mirror
“But I don’t want to sleep.” I uttered to myself. I would wake up, and it would be the next day again, a school day. “School is so boring.” I thought as I got comtherble and shut off the lights. It didn’t take long until I was brought into the…
Touch of Ice
She was coming. I knew she was, I could feel her. In the chilly air, the silvery fog rolling off the ground, she was there. I could feel her close. I ran, ran far and fast. I couldn’t tell where I was going, didn’t care. It was all trivial. The…
The Window Seat
I sat on the bus, staring out the window into the darkness. It was late, and I said nothing as my friends rattled on and on about movie effects, and playing a trick on the teacher with a scary note that Gabe had written. I began to wonder if anything…
Cassie
I let out a shriek as I saw her coming towards me. “No! Cassie stop! Please!,” I yelled frantically. I was backed in a corner. My little sister Cassie had a knife. My eyes darted from her to my mom lying dead on the floor then back to her. She…
Sarah’s Game
Four friends were walking through the woods, shining their flashlights in each other’s faces. Brian, Hannah, Jessica, and Anthony were bored out of their minds and almost nearly wasted, when they stumbled into a clearing. There was a light at the end of the clearing near a towering willow. Coming…
The Boy
“Kiara, don’t do this!” I shouted as I ran down the hallway of the old house. She walked after me, head down, eyes never off of me. Somehow, even though I was running, she kept the same distance away from me. “But I want to,” said Kiara, her voice one…
The Christmas Feast
He first suspected that they were going to eat him when he noticed the distinct lack of Yuletide smells. It wasn’t perhaps a conscious thought, at least not one which had been fully realised, but there was a clear growing uneasiness within him. Somehow he just knew. Surely if a…
The Footsteps
Once, I was in my mom’s room and she said it’s your bed time. I said I’ve got a bad feeling. She said I’m sorry, but it’s a school night. I went to bed, then a noise woke me up. It sounded like footsteps. I turned around and there were…
