Halloween Night

Once upon a time a little boy and girl went to an abandoned house on their street for Halloween. They went up and knocked on the door. The door opened and a very nice little girl came to the door and gave them treat bags. They went to a couple more houses and got a lot of candy.

Soon they find this little cottage in the woods. They walk through the woods to the cottage. They look side to side. The little girl sees a fake skeleton that looks real and a owl with no eyes. They finally got to the door. They knocked on the door at the same time. With a loud noise, the door cracked open.. “BOO!” said a zombie. The kids ran as fast as their little feet could carry them. While they were running, the little girl’s foot got caught in a wire and the wire made a scar on the little girl’s foot. Soon they got home and the little girl rested her foot.

One Halloween Night

One day at school, we had a costume party. I dressed up as a witch. My friend Sara dressed up as a mummy. After school, me and my friend were going to go trick-or-treating together, but since it was so foggy, we got lost and couldn't see. We didn't go to the same house.

Finally, we found each other, but when we did, we found we were in a graveyard and we couldn't see the way out - so we held hands, so we wouldn't get lost again. We looked around. We found the fence, but not the way out, so we climbed over it.

We went back to trick-or-treating, and when we were done, had a party at my house. My Mom put in a CD of songs that made scary sounds. We had a lot of fun, eating cake and playing games. At midnight, everybody left. When I was going to bed, I saw a jar - not any old jar - this one had a head in it. It said, "I want a BODY!"

Next day, my head was cut off, and my body was gone.

The Hand

There once was a little girl who went trick or treating with her friends. They saw a graveyard and went in it because they thought that they were brave. But not brave enough, so the friends all went in there and all of a sudden a hand came smashing out of the ground and grabbed the little girl's leg. The girl kept on struggling to get away but the hand was stronger and after a minute the girl was pulled into the ground never to be seen again!

The rest of the friends were so scared that they ran away and started to cry. Who knows what happened to the girl. Anyone brave enough to go in a graveyard on Halloween, may be on their way to death!

The Sewer Rat

One day, five years into the future in Ottawa, Ontario. When the world is polluted and wild animals running everywhere. Yashwanth, Shamus and I rode our bikes down Greenbank road. A giant, ugly and drooling Sewer rat jumped out of Greenbank Cemetery. The Sewer rat ate our bikes and grabbed us with its stinky hands and ran away.

The sewer rat brought us to a dirty Sewer. Where there was a fire in a can. I was wondering, ‘How did the rat get a fire in a can? Besides, metal is not flammable. How will we escape from this smelly animal?’ The sewer rat tied Shamus and I up in drool webs and grabbed Yashwanth with one hand and a dead squirrel in the other hand.

Shamus and I were so scared. I had an idea. I took my key and cut through the drool web. I cut Shamus's drool web and I said, "let's get ready to fight!" Shamus and I ran to the Sewer Rat and tackled the sewer rat and killed the sewer rat. Yashwanth had fainted. Shamus and I brought Yash into my car. I drove to the General Hospital. Yash had rabies. I was really sad. I told Yash to call me when he got out of the hospital. I still have that shriek of the sewer rat in my mind. To Be Continued …

The Thing in the Night

It was creeping closer and closer in the night. It’s right behind me. I screamed and turned around. Phew, It’s just my very Sneaky friend Margaret . ‘Got you good! Rose. You should of seen your face!' Margaret exclaimed. 'You almost gave me a heart attack! ' Shouted Rose.

'Come on. It was just a joke. We are in the forest. The perfect place for a joke like that.' Margaret explained. While saying perfect with her hands.' We should start walking' added Rose. 'O.K.' Said Margaret. They started walking.

Through the forest. OOOOOOOOO. Something was groaning in the night. 'Did you hear that?' Said Margaret.' Yes, but I wish I didn’t.' Said Rose. It was creeping closer and closer. It jumped out of the bushes. It, was a vampire. Rose and Margaret ran into a lake and were never seen again.

What's in the Dark

One day I was at my friend's house. She went to get cookies for us to eat during a show. When she was in the kitchen, the lights went out. Something whispered, "She's gone - and you're next!"

When her Mom and Dad got home, no one was in the house. The TV was still playing. When they were going to watch their show, they went into the kitchen and her Mom was going to get a snack. The same thing happened. She heard the whisper - he was gone, and she was next!

Are You There, Annie?

You might have read my first two Annie stories, and I thought I should continue....

Wayne slowly turned off the light and crawled into bed. He thought about all the bad things he had made Charlie do. He remembered laughing at funerals. ‘Who had died this time?’ they would ask. His thoughts vanished as he fell asleep.

Suddenly he heard a rapping at his window. ''Annie...are you there?'' Wayne asked, his voice shaking. Then there was soft singing: ''Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes by, for you may be the next to die."

Was that really Annie? Read my next story to find out!

The Moon That Never Ends

There once was a dog named Gunnter, who lived in the back of the barn behind the scary old house. He was tied up most of the time and no one ever paid any attention to him. He was sad and scared of the big bright light in the sky that always seemed to make him howl.

One night he was very tired, more tired then usual. He went to sleep and woke up with scary faces watching him. They were making noises that reminded him of a zombie making noise from a gravestone. He heard gravestones shaking and the moon lit the way for him to see.

He chewed his collar, he was so scared. He ran into the tombstone and it broke in to the dirt. The zombies started to chase him, they finally ran back home and when he tried to get help he couldn’t get into the house, because they were all in the house. So he ran to the lake and looked up at the moon and saw a very scary moon.

Calls

One day there was a girl at a funeral for her neighbor. She went home and started reading, then the phone rang. She picked it up and she heard a voice say, “I am watching you, you are upstairs reading!” She screamed and hung up. The same thing happened for three days. One day a neighbor found the dead man’s will. It said, when I die, burn my body. So they did, and after that day, the girl never got a call like that again!

Omen

Once upon a time there was this lady walking in the street at night. When she crossed the street, she was looking at a cemetery. She saw a little girl crying. She got her flashlight and she saw the girl with white eyes. The sound that the girl made was like a baby. The girl ran fast like a demon and when the lady turned around, out popped the girl with scratches on her face. She screamed.

Where's Kate?

One day, I was waiting for my friend Kate to come over. It took so long, but finally she came. The next day, I was to go to her house, but the lights were off, so I went around to her window. It was dark - and the windows were bloody. By the look of her window, I knew Kate was dead, so I went back home.

I told my mom that Kate was not there. My Mom said "Go check again," and I said, "But she's DEAD!" My Mom said "No, she's not."

"Then come to her house with me, and I'll show you what's on the window." So, she did. Then she knew that I was right. I said, "I think we should find the monster that did this and kill it!" They looked and looked, but could not find it, and never did. And one day, I was dead too.

The Fright

Once I was in my bed and I was falling asleep, when I heard my mom scream. It was an intruder. He came upstairs to me and put me in a box. I was tired and I fell asleep.

After a while I woke up. I tried to get out of the box and surprisingly I did. I thought in movies you were supposed to like die. I was in a huge forest with no trail which meant no one knew this place.

I walked until I found a small graveyard and it was infested with bugs and rodents. I thought I saw something in the distance. It was a bit far, so I couldn’t make it out.

I got closer and closer as I heard people talking. I kept walking and then all of a sudden... To Be Continued…
