Following the cries, she fought her way through the twisted trees, until she found the source of the haunted wails. Before her, in a small clearing was a lake. A pain-riddled face with fear-sodden eyes stared up at her, and she was caught. A sallow hand emerged from the water and reached for her. She leant forward and touched the hand with her fingertips. Suddenly, the eyes of the face thinned and the lips curled into a malevolent smile. In one swift movement he tugged the woman into the lake, which engulfed her. If you were to go there now, you’d find the face still there, waiting for the next unfortunate soul to take pity on sorrowful man.

It was a stormy night and the children were fast asleep when a counciler heard a scream from the back room.He took a step into the room and and saw a body hanging from the ceiling. It was Lucy, a child the counciler had known through-out his life. She was hung from her neck and the killer had left no clues. Dripping from the ceiling was blood that spelled the name of “John”…a orphan that had died mysteriously the same way. He was the same age of 5 when he was hung. He was a child that was abadoned and abused. He was found in the 1800s and was sent to the orphanage seeking revenge on anyone he could. When they looked up his name this information was found. They now figured out that he was a ghost. Lucy now seeks revenge too on the people who she thought murdered her. From thence she will haunt the corridors of the orphanage!

my son had briefly introduced me to a couple of friends from school one day then a few months down the road it was nearing Halloween we had a street light that shown oddly in the front doorway one evening there came a knocking at the door so i opened it and there was standing a very tall man without a head ,so i quickly slammed the door with a gasp,thinking” it’s the headless horseman!” then i thought for a moment i don’t know anyone that tall! But then it came back to me that my son had introduced me to one very tall school friend, so i opened the door and said oh sorry i forgot you were my son’s friend.

hi Jo… there was a graveyard in Ohio, called baby Jane lane. the tombstones glowed at night. there is a start to your scary story. it’s really true! they glowed almost all night . the tomb stones were quarry-ed there in Ohio which has a phosphorescent in the mix of stone, and causes a reaction when light hits it , and of course daylight, does a good job of lighting them up. and at night they glowed real bright.There were about 300 or so stones. it was called that because the wind goes through a ditch and makes crying sounds. we used to go there and scare all our friends that didn’t know about it.

OK let’s have a bash…Usually its dark, usually walking with friends in a wood, from beneath the folliage a sound creeps towards you.

In a city by day, knowing someone is around you, watching, but where. Feeling threatened and so afraid you find a shop to hide in while pretending to look through books, sweets, (whatever) In your rush to feel safe you realise there is only an alley one you went down to get to safety. and on you go.

It is what you do not see that is frightening.

A complete stranger text messaged you out of nowhere and wrote, “Hi, how was your day? I missed you. You promised to see me today but you didn’t show up, now I will have to kill you.” You try to turn off your phone, but it kept turning itself on. That is exactly 50 words.
