The Haunted Castle

Ever wonder why castles aren't really around anymore? Well I know why! It all started in 1751. People lived in peace and harmony but then a ghostly little child haunted every single castle in the world! It got on people's nerves! So one day a brave man went to a castle and confronted the little girl and asked, "Why are you haunting all the castle's?" In his mind he heard ghostly words say "It makes me." "What's it?" She replied, "What's behind you!" He screams so loud and gets scared to death. That happens every time someone goes to a castle. So eventually all the castles were destroyed. But you can still hear all the voices. The little girl's, It's and all of the people who died in a castle!

The Foggy Night

It was a foggy night the Shawnee, Oklahoma when the weirdest stuff started to happen. Children and teens started disappearing. I was furious to find out what was happening. The next day I set off on my journey. I was half way to the city when suddenly something I could not explain ran in front of my car. It stared me right in the eyes, then it suddenly disappeared, I thought. I must of been going crazy or something. I'd finally arrived, so I thought I might check into the famous hotel called 'The Luxurious Inn'. That was where the people were missing from. My room was in 128, the room the people where missing from. That night I was deep asleep when something in my room woke me up. Then suddenly something dressed a black suit tried to hurt me. I turned on the light and it was gone. I was so relieved. But I wasn't about to give up know. So I went down to the lobby, but no one was there! Then the lights went off in the whole building. Then, all of a sudden, I felt something on my shoulder. I turned around and screamed. NO one would come help.

The Tale of The Island

As you walk in a forest no far from here,
Lies a tale of a island so far but so near,
The deeper you go the closer you get,
To an opening of water where it sits,
As you look a far across water like glass,
A streaming mansion of leaders in the past,
It calls for all to come near,
So silent with fear,
A young girl screams and pleads for help and under a curse,
A black like shadow drives over to her like a hearse,
Back in the city and under ground,
Is a girl that was never found,
As they hear the story you tell,
They look and search but nothings there to sell,
You think that life's not fair,
Then you end up as the one is there.

Urban Legend

Late one night, a couple from a high school drove to a nearby forest and parked near a tree to 'make out.' But a while later, when they were about to leave, the car wouldn't start. "I'll go for help," said the... um, guy. "No, stay here," begged the... um, woman. "It'll only be a second," replied the... um, guy. He got out of the car and disappeared into the darkness. The... um, woman got a little scared so she turned on the radio only to hear a news bulletin. It reported that a murderer escaped from prison and was heading towards the forest where she was. She got real scared, so she closed and locked her door. But as time passed, the battery died and she soon found herself falling asleep. A while later, she heard a squeaking noise on the roof of her car. She got frightened, but tried to ignore it. But then she heard it again, then again and before she knew it, a huge light appeared in front of her. "THIS IS THE POLICE. GET OUT OF THE CAR AND SLOWLY WALK TOWARDS THE LIGHT," she heard the police say. So she obediently got out of the car and started running in fear to the police. She looked back and at the top of her car, she saw her boyfriend about to get hanged. If she drove away, he would have fallen and would've gotten hanged. The killer was standing right next to him.

Urban Legend

A poor farmer and his wife expected their fifth child, but the husband could not provide for a family of six, so he and a doctor planned to get rid of the baby. Right after the surgery, the husband told the wife the baby had died at birth. The doctor took the baby to 'Baby Bridge' and threw him over the edge. So the legend is: If you go to Baby Bridge on a cloudless night, park your car on the highest point, get out and sprinkle baby powder around your car and get back inside the car with the engine and lights off for ten minutes - you will hear a baby cry. If you get out of the car, you will see baby footprints in the powder.

Urban Legend

One night, a girl stayed home while her parents were out. She had promised them to lock all the doors and windows, but there was one window that couldn't close in the basement. She just pulled it down as far as she could. She then went upstairs and went to sleep on the couch. A while later, she heard the sink faucet dripping. She was about to go turn it off, but her dog licked her hand so she knew he was there to protect her, so she fell asleep. A while later, she heard dripping again. She felt her dog lick her on her hand, so she fell back to sleep. At one in the morning, she woke up again. This time she got up and went to the bathroom and screamed. There, she saw that the faucet wasn't on. She saw her dog - dead - dripping blood onto the floor and a message written on the wall. It said 'HUMANS CAN LICK TOO, MY BEAUTIFUL."

The Funeral

One day, Mr.Blackwell was walking down the street. He had no idea what he was doing there or where he was going. He turned and greeted a woman washing clothes. She took one look at him and screamed. "That was strange," thought Mr.Blackwell. He kept walking. Soon he saw a man and began walking towards him. The man yelled,"Stay! Stay away from me, your hear?" Then the man turned and sped up the street. This happened everywhere he went. He stopped at a telephone booth, and called his wife. "Yes, hello, Blackwell house," answered a strange voice.

The Lake

A boy once lived close to a lake. Every night he heard eerie shrieks and ghostly moans. He was almost sure he had seen something at his window. One full-moon night, he heard the shrieks again. Then a cackle of mad laughter. The boy got out of bed and began pacing his room. The screams were closer. He decided to see what was going on. He opened the door and walked out. He walked to a sheer bank close to his house, then he waited. Nothing happened. He waited some more. Finally bored, he threw a large rock into the lake. Ripples etched out, but they kept growing larger and larger. A head popped out of the water followed by shoulders, a body, but no legs. It seemed as if the figure had a white nightgown that reached it's knees. It's skull had long strands of white hair. It's eyes-white, too. Then it said, in a hoarse voice,"Why have you disturbed us?" "Didn't mean to," squeaked the boy. The figure let out a long wailing cry that made the boy shiver. Suddenly more figures surrounded the boy. "You will pay," said the figure. "Now you shall become one of us." With a roar, the figures surrounded the boy. And ... "Help, NO!! Please NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

The Shadow

David decided to go to the park. As he walked he noticed a strange, shadowy figure about a block away. He kept walking. He looked back again and saw that it was closer. He walked a little faster. The figure was even closer. There was nobody else in sight. David broke into a run. The figure was barely 5 yards away. David opened the door of a building and ran inside. He climbed a flight of stairs and hid in a crate. He heard someone open the door. He heard footsteps on the stairs. The person was in the room. Someone opened the top of the crate. The person grinned at David showing large, fang like white teeth. It had a large knife in its hand. Then the thing plunged a knife in David's chest.

Reeden Forest

Me and some friends were walking in Reeden Forest. Suddenly we heard loud moans and groans. We saw blood spattered on the ground. We ran. At my house, we told what had happened. My father said, "Ten years ago this night, six men died a gruesome death at that same spot. "They say you can still here their screams." I know we never entered the forest again.
