The Uninvited

Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived across from a scary house. Every time she walked by the house she would hear a scream, so one day she went in to the house and she heard a little voice say, “go back, you’re not invited.” The little girl was scared and mad that she did not get invited. The scary part is it sounded like her friend that died in a car accident.

She thought of turning back but she kept on walking. All of a sudden she felt a hand tap her on her shoulder so she looked back and saw nothing. She kept walking, then it happened again. She looked back even faster and there standing behind her was her dead friend and she said on more time, “you’re not invited… turn back or else!” That stubborn girl kept walking, so she came to a light and in that light she saw people partying but they where dead so she got freaked out and started running back. She couldn’t see any thing so she started crying and saying please don’t kill me. Her friend heard her but then came after her with a knife and so she started to run, but when she was trying to run she Couldn’t. Something was holding her back so she prayed to God and said, “I will never be selfish again. Suddenly she could move and she ran out of the house and when she heard a scream she knew someone was not invited and invited themselves so now she knows you should never be selfish.

Then she woke up and realized it was just a dream. One week later she heard her mom say they were moving so when she got there it all happen exactly as in her dream, but it had a different ending. ....watch out and never be selfish. Boo!

Footprints

Hello! I'm Bart and this is my story. All of this happened a couple of weeks ago. You see, my parents are film artists and I often stay home by myself. My parents bought this house for their next horror movie, but there was a problem. You See, I have to stay here all night by myself!

This is what happened. When I got to sleep, I woke up in about ten minutes because I felt something lick me. I heard a drip, drip. I got up and went into the bathroom. Aha, the tap was on. I turned it off and went back to sleep, then I woke up again because of the same thing… a drip, drip.

I got up, went outside and turned off the water supply, so even if a tap was on nothing would happen. I went back to sleep and woke up again! This time I realized that it was coming from the attic. I went up with a flashlight and saw my dog up there bleeding. That was the dripping sound. I brought him down out of the attic and heard a crash of broken glass. I went down to find out what was making such a racket and found the door on its hinges and muddy foot prints on the ground. They could have been from a very large dog.

I called the police and they came over and studied the footprints and they managed to get a blood sample. They told me that it was a wolf. I was Shocked! I didn’t tell them about the mysterious thing that licked my FACE!!!

My Haunted House

Well, my house is haunted you may come over and tell me whispering at you but NO! It was not me so you may think I'm crazy but that is okay because that is not the only way you may be scared. There are many more reasons why. You may be alone one day in my house and find yourself asking someone for help, you see there is some light flickering in my house and some throwing things, too. I am too scared. I'm telling you the truth but I'll get over it, trust me I just moved in but it's like that at any other house I moved into.

The Scary Trip

One day I was riding four-wheelers with my friends. We just got off at the creek and parked our four-wheelers toward the creek. We jumped down in the creek to catch some minnows. When we did we heard something behind us, but when we looked we didn’t see anything. A little while later my friend’s four-wheeler started up and came straight at us. I jumped out of the way but he didn’t have time. When I moved the four-wheeler off him I couldn’t find him. I thought he was under it. Now I knew something very scary was going on. I decided to go home and call his parents and tell them. When I called my friend answered the phone. I asked how he got home so fast. He didn’t understand. He said he never came over to my house that day, but I saw him and his four-wheeler at my house. On the phone he said he didn’t have a four-wheeler. I knew he did because we rode together all the time. The only thing is I still didn’t know how the four-wheeler took off like it did. I looked at it and thought I just don't understand why it did that. I finally figured that a squirrel had hit the gas and made it come at us and hit my friend. The next day I went to the creek and my friend was down there trying to get his four-wheeler out of the creek. I went over to him and asked him if he remembered coming over to my house now. He said “no“! I went back home and called his house and his parents answered and said he was missing. They were never able to find him. Now if you go to the creek about 4:35 each Saturday you can hear him trying to get his four-wheeler out of the creek. I still don’t know what happened to my friend that day.

Ghosts

Ghosts One day, I was home alone. My parents had just bought a new haunted house. I was watching TV. And all of a sudden, I heard a ghost walking through my kitchen. I quickly rolled under the couch. As I looked behind me I saw the said ghost! I got from under the couch and I ran into my room and I slammed my door. I picked up my cell phone and called 911.

When I didn't know was another ghost was under my bed breathing very hard. I talked to a police officer and he said "I will be there in 3 2 1..." When he bust the door open, the ghosts were chasing me around the house. One of them bit my leg off and I screamed in horror. The police officer got his gun out and shot all of the evil ghosts.

The next morning, My parents came back from vacation in Hawaii. They gave me the look as if I threw a house party. I shrugged my shoulders in discomfort. They looked at my injuries and took me to the hospital. On the way there, I told them the whole story. A few weeks later, my family and I moved out of the ghostly house and into a safe apartment.

Blood Is Dripping

There once was a girl named Sally. One day, her Mum had to rush out to work for a couple of hours. She warned Sally about the dangers of answering the door alone and kissed her.

Sally was bored easily, so she turned on the TV. After a while the phone rang. She picked it up. An eerie voice crackled on the bad phone line, but Sally heard "Blood is dripping. Blood is dripping. I am on the first floor." Sally knew it was a prank call, so she hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, the phone rang again. Sally did not pick it up, but waited until the phone receiver answered. "Blood is dripping. Blood is dripping. I am on the second floor."

Sally began to become frightened. She knew that she lived on the second floor, but did not know what to do. Then came the third call. "Blood is dripping. Blood is dripping. I am outside your door."

Sally edged towards the door. She was waiting for the prank caller to burst in. Nothing happened. She flung the door open. There was a man standing there. His eyes were slits, and he had a great big bloody gash on the side of his face. "My blood is dripping. My blood is dripping. Any chance of a plaster?"
