Horror Stories(Creepypasta)

1☆Within The Darkness

Hello and Welcome! This is my very first book on here and I'm very excited to see how it will turn out. If you have not read the description,just note, that these stories aren't made by me but are popular stories online and all credit goes to the original writers! (Though I will be doing changes to some stories)

Also if I make any mistakes(grammar wise) you can feel free to let me know and I will fix it eventually(which I'm sure there will be some).

Enjoy~
-----------------------------------------------------------------

It all started after moving into my new house. Yeah, thats pretty cliche. Believe me, I know, it happened. I never experienced anything supernatural before,and though I'm interested, I never expected anything to happen to me.

I was able to rent the house for cheap. I didn't think anything of it because it was old and not in the best of neighborhoods so I guess I just got a good deal. After moving things in,things were fine for a while.

I don't exactly remember when it started because it seemed so minor at the time. I'd leave the light on in the bathroom or kitchen and come back to find it off. Honestly, I thought I was just forgetting I turned them off already when I came back. After a while, I started to wonder and began leaving a couple lights on purpose. Sometimes nothing would happen. Other times I'd come back to find the lights turned off.

By now, I figured out there was something off. I wasn't really scared, but just confused. I thought maybe something was wrong with the electric. I started leaving lights on a bit more often, because I thought I might be able to get some sign as to why they would randomly shut off. Now, thats when it started to take another turn.

The first time I ever remember something crazy happening is when I left the kitchen and living room lights on while I was asleep. I woke up to a deep, rumbling growl coming from the kitchen. From the bedroom, you can see down the hall to the living room, and that room is connected to the kitchen. I remember waking up and thinking an animal of some sort got in my house.

I looked down towards the living room to see the light darken. Somebody had flicked the light off from the kitchen. Another growl came, and this time from the living room and I nearly screamed as I saw something bolt across the opening of the hall and then the living room light went off.

I couldn't tell exactly what it was though. It just seemed like a black shadow. It didn't matter though. I was scared shitless. I bolted from my bed and threw on the bedroom light, expecting something to be in my room and getting ready to come after me.

Nothing. There wasn't anything in my room. I let out a low breath and slowly moved down the hall into the living room. Once I was there, I practically ran to throw on the light. Nothing again. Kitchen next, and once again, nothing!

I was starting to think I dreamt all of it before I went to turn off the kitchen light and stopped. Here I was, a grown man, and now I was terrified to turn off the switch. But I'll admit it; I slept with all the lights on that night.

That was a mistake.

When I woke up the next morning, all the light were off once again. I went to push myself out of bed when I winced as my body felt sore. I pulled the sheets off to reveal long, red claw marks running down along my arms and legs. Something definitely scratched me at night. It terrified the hell out of me but not nearly as much when I saw around the house.

Every light I left on was smashed.

Every bulb that was on last night was broken, every lamp knocked over and smashed in. My breath caught in my throat as I looked around. Something fucked up is going on around here. And something well...tried to do something to me. I called in for work that day and went to immediately replace all of the lights.
