Amanda

Amanda was a 16 year old girl. She lived with her brother Eric. Eric would tease her and make fun of her so much she would say, “One day Eric, I will get you.”

Ten years later, she was sleeping and heard Eric talking outside. She went to see what was happening. She slowly went down the stairs and was shaking (just a little). When she got down there, she saw police cars and Eric was getting arrested. Eric saw her putting up her fist. She shrugged her shoulders as if she did not know what was going on. She really didn’t know. He was taken to jail.

After five years, Amanda got a boyfriend and he cheated on her five times. She got so mad and started doing the same thing she did to Eric, saying, “I’m gonna get you.” When she died, Eric and Matthew (her ex-boyfriend) were both in jail for some reason. While in the cell, something rose out the floor and killed the boys. The cops are still searching how it happened. Perhaps the ghost of Amanda?

One day, a girl in the seventh grade named Mary found the doll and hating the girl took a pin and tore a line at the neck.

A few days later the girl in black returned an evil smile on her face. While walking, Mary's friend noticed a decaying smell and checked a nearby trash can. There she found Mary a rugged tear in her neck and no facial features except two black beads where her eyes should have been and on the underside of the lid there wrote in Mary's blood was, "Don‘t Touch My Doll."

Firby

One day a girl named Cindy and her dad went shopping. Cindy asked her dad, "Dad can I have this Firby?" The Firby was black and blood red.

A eerie voice said, "Cindy look down." Cindy thought it was a prank, so she paid no mind. The eerie voce came again, "Cindy look down." She still paid no mind to the eerie voice.

Cindy and her dad went to checkout and Cindy decided she didn’t want the Firby, so she put it on a shelf. The eerie voice then said, "Cindy turn around." Cindy turned around and that was the end of Cindy.

Boo!

All you hear was boo all day! Boo! Everyone was sleeping. It was Bloody Mary who did it. One kid went to the bathroom and he flushed the toilet and Bloody Mary turned off the light and closed the door.

The kid didn’t know what was going on. He called his parents, but they didn’t respond. Probably Bloody Mary ate them for dinner.

He was so scared he died and never came back. Boo! Muhhaha!

Once upon a time, there was a little girl that was walking alone in the dark when she came upon an abandoned house. She walked in and it was toasty warm and as soon as she got comfortable she heard a voice.

The Boogie Man

One Halloween night, three kids were walking home through the graveyard from trick-or-treating. As they were walking, one of the kids said, "The boogie man is totally not real." All of the friends agreed. They didn’t notice that the boogie man was right behind them! The boogie man followed them home.

That night, when the kids were sleeping, the boogie man had to blow his nose. Instead of getting a tissue, he blew boogies and snot all over the kids' house and just left! When the kids woke up, they could not believe their eyes! At that very moment, the Boogie Man was in the graveyard, blowing boogies all over the trees.

That Figure

One time I was spending the night with my friend. We were having a great time, dancing singing, gymnastics competitions, and of course pizza, horror movies, and comedies.

It was about 12:00 and we had to go to sleep. Well, I woke up a hour later because I had to go to the bathroom. So I was walking, it was an old house so I was sort of scared, then I saw a figure dart across the room and some yellow eyes.

I decided that I could hold it, so I ran back to the bed. Even in there I did not feel alone. Then I heard footsteps coming nearer and leaving. TRUE STORY!

The Night Takers

On one dark night, a kid named Joe was walking home. He heard a rustle. He looked behind him; the bush was moving, then stopped. He remembered the story his friend told him when he was over his house just a moment ago - to watch out for the night takers.

He kept walking faster and faster until he reached the end of his street. He had a far way to go because he was at the beginning of the street and his house was at the end.

He looked behind him, nothing. He looked in front of him and there was a dark figure that had a hood over his face. He took his hood off and his face looked like it had been eaten by termites.

He grabbed the kid and held him up and said, "The night takers have got you!"

The boy screamed for help but no one was around. The night taker ate him up in one single bite. So remember, at night if your alone, watch out for the night takers!
