Story 1
The shadow behind the closet door

When I was little I'd always have nightmares.I would do my best to tough them out,thinking they couldn't come true and try to go back to sleep.When they kept reoccurring ,getting scarier and scarier each time,I would go and sleep with my mom in her bed.They would always go away then.I didn't know why the nightmares didn't occur when I was sleeping with her,I thought it might have to do with the feeling of being safe.My room always had a dark aura around it,it felt if as someone or something was watching you.When I was sleeping in her room her closet was right in front of me.I had a habit of pulling the covers over on top of me,because I had been afraid of the dark but then it grew on me.I had a reason to have on me one time.The creepy thing about the closet was when it had been closed when I went to sleep and wide open when I woke.I thought it was mom getting ready for work and leaving the closet door open.Yet it was open even on days where she didn't have work and had no reason to get up.It couldn't be the cat since cats couldn't open doors.I didn't know what was happening for it to be open,being young I brushed it off and did other things.One night when I was in mom's room I was just going to close my eyes when I heard a creak.That creak was so long and horrifying as I saw two beady white eyes staring at me.I flew under the covers and stifled a scream.I silently prayed for this creature to go away.It went away.I woke up the next morning,convincing myself it was just a dream.I took caution and looked into the closet.There was a hat with many shiny beads attached to it.I was horrified,I never slept in my mom's room again.Cause I saw only two beads and the rest were blocked by something,and there could be no light for the beads the reflect anything.

Me: part of this story is based off a real event in my life, I did see the closet door open when I was small but I saw no explanation why it was opening and just shrugged it off.I was maybe seven when this happened and blamed it on the lack of sleep I was getting due to sleep loss cause by some hyper active sugar intake that affected my dreams making them seem scary and realistic.

Story 2
Stairs

You know when you run upstairs you have an odd feeling that somehow something is behind you?And when you look back you see nothing?Then you shrug it off and finished the steps.What if something was chasing you upstairs?What if it wanted it wanted to hurt you and each time you use the stairs it tries to push or pull you?But it fails because you keep looking back.Don't stop looking. It just might get you.

Me:totally not your demonic cat or something.

Story 3
Home alone

I got home from school one day and saw that I was home alone.I put my stuff away and heard the lock on the door click.I thought it was my bag that might've hit it.I unlocked it.It was rainy and gloomy outside so I stayed inside .I felt chilly and covered up with a fluffy blanket and turned on the Tv.It flicked off and I repeated the process several times getting the same results each time.I heard a thud upstairs.My heart was pounding,I decided to be lazy and stayed where I was at.I pulled the covers around me,I was gonna stay where I was ,I did not believe in ghosts why should I now?I raged with the TV and still the same results.A crash in the kitchen alerted me,I looked over and saw a glass on the floor,maybe the wind did it?I started to get up to clean the mess when I heard the lock click.I ran to the door and tugged at the lock,which did nothing cause it was stuck.Great now I was locked in the house stuck in a stupid horror movie,should I bother calling?I sat down,defeated with boredom and fright.I stared at the reflective black screen of the Tv.I looked to where I was at,not surprised to see a girl standing behind me.I looked up.

Me:when you ignore your sister's text and she gets mad.

Story 4
Attic
My friend's grandpa lived alone near their house.Her grandma had died when she was very young.The house her grandpa was living had a creepy basement that gave us chills whenever we were there.It also had an attic that everyone avoided because it was so damp and the wood floor was bad.It also has a creepy feeling around it (as attics usually have).She thought the house was haunted probably cause her grandmother liked to play cards alot and she could hear the shuffling of cards where her grandmother used to play them.Her parents had banned her from the attic for safety reasons.But she was allowed up one time.She was exploring it when she found a box,It was full of cat bones.It creeped her out and she left instantly.The house was over a hundred years old,and so did the bones seem to.She said that she heard meowing and thuds  from the basement often.She thought it was one of her cats.But it wasn't.

Me:All of the stuff here is true, the cats weren't even in the house when she heard the knocking and meowing.She claimed she really did hear shuffling cards.

Story 5
Prints in the woods
A friend I knew once had an encounter with a wierd creature.He was staying at his grand parents house in the woods.They had beds down in the basement so he slept there with his brothers.He had the top bunk on a bunk bed close to a curtain less window.The window was close to the ground,and viewed the backyard,a clearing that eventually turned into thick woods.That night, he woke up all of a sudden,he felt..wierd,like someone was watching him.He instinctively looked out the window.There,about 20 feet from the window, stood a pale glowing creature that looked somewhat like a racoon store back at him.It started walking toward toward the window,toward him.He looked convinced it was something else that was looking for food,or maybe even a dream.The next morning he went to the backyard,and saw some footprints,except...they were outside his window,like it had been standing there...watching him....they were recent too.

Me: part of this is true,I'll let you figure out which part is,the creature or recent footprints.
