Scary Stories

Hello, my name is Payton and I am 11 years old. This story is absolutely true.

Once, I was at my sister’s house while they were knocking a wall down ~ they just moved in. I was the age of 8… in third grade. The exact date was October 13, 2008. My birthday was the 14th. Anyways, me my cousin and my nephew (age 5 then but age 7 now) were sitting on the stairs… watching the men working on the wall. My sister was taking pictures of it. The 15th, after my birthday, we had to color Halloween things for homework. I was at my aunt’s because she invited all of the relatives over because she hired a fortune teller for the adults. Amber (my sister) was looking through the pictures that she took while at the house. While she was, she came across a picture of the wall with a ghost figure with his face all twisted. When we had seen it, we were all in shock. So, it was Amber’s turn to go in and the fortune teller had told her something about “Wall Walkers” or something. So I just continued with my coloring. That night I was in my bed, and I felt really funny. I began crying cause I was scared. I went in my mom’s room and told her. After that, I just got a drink and went back to bed. A couple months later, (About late December or early January) Amber did some research about her house. There was a man who died there. But, he had always wanted his walls in that house torn down, but, he never got to. Amber told us that. In the summer, me, my best friend Taylor, her little brother Preston, and my nephew and Preston’s best friend Joey were playing outside on Joey’s blow up water slide. Forgetting about the spirit, me and Taylor went inside to get some chips and Pepsi. We heard a huge thump and a soft cry, so, we ran outside to tell our parents and Amber. We didn’t want to tell the little boys then because they were only 6 and we didn’t wanna scare them. Our parents didn’t believe us. But Amber didn’t say anything. Later that day when Taylor had left, Joey, Amber, and my mom were outside while I was watching TV. I felt someone was watching me, and then I glanced to the stairs, and I saw that same figure running up the stairs. In about September, me and one of my best friends Hailee were upstairs in Amber’s house and we heard a huge plate crash in that room but nothing fell. Then, I glanced over to her glass dresser and seen that same figure behind us. When I turned around, I saw nobody there. One day in January, me and Joey were watching a picture slide show on Joey’s Nintendo Wii. The picture came up as the spirit, Joey asked me and Amber what it was, we both said smoke, because that’s what it looked like and Amber smokes. Ever since then I’ve been kind of creeped out. But research shows he is a good man.

I was about 5 or 6 when this story took place, so it was about 8 or 9 years ago. I had just started sleeping in my own bed, and I was really scared. I had been seeing odd shadows on my ceiling. I heard my bedroom door open then close, thinking it was my mom, I called out to her. I felt the big comforter be pulled off of me. I shook, waiting. I felt the sheet be pulled up and I was picked up. I clung to the woman. I finally looked up and saw it wasn’t my mom. It was a red head woman with piercing green eyes. She was wearing a forest green, studded Christmas dress. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry little one, I won’t hurt you.” She walked down the hall and set me in my parents bed. She had closed the door when she walked in. I turned around to thank her and she was gone. The freaky thing about this? My dad saw the same woman when he was 5, in Germany.

When I had a party for all the basketball players at our school at my house, of course, I was gonna hang out with my team (the girls) this also included the 7th grade basketball teams. When everyone got there we watched a couple scary movies about four of them (Jeepers Creepers, Quarantine, Paranormal Activity, The Strangers) this ended at about midnight. Now I live in this super creepy really old farmhouse and I remembered I had to go upstairs to close the attic windows which is really scary because when I was outside no-one was home but me. I heard and saw the attic doors SLAM open. When I asked some of the girls to go with me they said ‘no’ but five of the boys would, so they all came with me upstairs. Now when we walked past the second floor window I swear I saw my grandma (who died in that house) and my boyfriend Nick laughed and said “Aw, I think she saw The Exorcist.” Now I had those thoughts in my head. I made one of them open that attic door, so Jason did, hes like 6′2 for a 8th grader! So he hit his head really hard, which made me feel a bit better. So we went up and I made my way slowly up to one of the six windows. When I reached out to close it, I saw something in one of the fields (I live on a farm) it looked kinda like a demented person, ya know like bloody and stuff, so I looked behind me and the boys were gone. Now when I turned back the thing in the field was a couple inches from my face. I let out a huge scream. I ran down the stairs to the second floor. I felt alot of hands grab me. Of course it was the boys. “What happened what happened?!” “I don’t wanna talk about it,” I said, “Seriously, I I I I think I saw a ghost.” “Yeah right,” they said. So I went back down stairs with them and kinda had a panic attack. So Joey decided to go up and see for himself. We heard him go up. We heard BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! “Ahh haha,” he screamed like a girl. He ran down the stairs with like a little bit of blood on his head. “Gh, gh, ghgh, ghost!” He stuttered. “Oh my god, Joey!” I screamed. He held his head down and started to cry but really he was laughing. “I can’t believe you fell for that! It’s ketchup! Besides there was nothing up there. I even closed the windows that was the boom you heard.” I slapped him so hard there was a red mark and we just sat there talking for a couple minutes and that was it.

One time when I was 13, I had this nightmare where I was in my bed, paralyzed unable to move completely and since my room has no windows, it was dark.Then all of a sudden my room got darker and darker (it looked realistic), and right besides my bed there was “IT” the scary clown based on that movie. I wanted to scream, and worse of all his face was getting closer and closer to mine and had an evil laugh. Luckily before he did anything to me, I woke up.

Since I was a kid, I sometimes felt a little shiver in exactly one arm or leg. All the times it happened, I would have a nightmare of that person’s death or know where it is buried if it’s in the house.

Years passed, I was 13, almost about to stop believing in ghosts. One day I went to a house of a friend of mine, I could feel something, I was starting to get pale and cold, my friend told me that I was starting to get colder than normal. I fainted, while I was there, lying on the ground, I could hear a voice telling me to open a hole under the place I was. I got really scared when my friend and his parents discovered human bones scattered under the ground.

I haven’t tried any of these, because I’m a scaredy-cat. But maybe you will?

The first one is to go to a mirror with a ruler. Measure something on your body, for example, your hair. Make sure you know how long it is. Then look in the mirror. Your “reflection’s” measure should be different from yours. Then never turn your back on that mirror again.

This second one I don’t think it even works, but I don’t know. Make sure it’s midnight, and its raining. Make sure you are alone in the house. Light a candle and say “Candlejack” aloud. Supposedly it will come and kidnap you…

Close the door in the bathroom, turn off the lights and if you want it to have a better chance of working, turn on the sink. Say “Candyman” once. Two red eyes should appear, then turn on the lights before it kills you.

Enjoy scaring the crud out of everyone telling these to your friends and trying it!
