Scary Short Stories

Ghost stories remind me of sitting around a campfire, with marshmallows, and telling scary tales with a flashlight casting shadows on my face. That isn’t an activity I’ve ever taken part in, but it just feels like the perfect way to share a scary story. Well I’ve rounded up some scary stories to strike the mood!

The Puppy in the Basement

“Mommy told me never to go in the basement, but I wanted to see what was making that noise. It kind of sounded like a puppy, and I wanted to see the puppy, so I opened the basement door and tiptoed down a bit. I didn’t see a puppy, and then Mommy yanked me out of the basement and yelled at me. Mommy had never yelled at me before, and it made me sad and I cried. Then Mommy told me never to go into the basement again, and she gave me a cookie. That made me feel better, so I didn’t ask her why the boy in the basement was making noises like a puppy, or why he had no hands or feet.”

There’s something under my bed

“I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, ‘Daddy, check for monsters under my bed.’ I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, ‘Daddy, there’s somebody on my bed.'”

The baby’s Laughter

“There’s was nothing better then hearing the laughter of a baby, unless its 1.am, and you live alone.” – Short story by Olivia Zazzara

Rolling in their grave

The man heard nothing in the dark, nothing except the laughter of the mean above.”Above?” he thought, “what do I mean above”. Realization hit him as he rolled in the coffin. He wasn’t alone. The soft “padding” under him was not velvet but a man. – Short story written by Lily Harris
