Psychological-horror Stories

(This concept is an idea of mine for the SQUID GAME USA, that is rumored as a project developing) Los Angeles has lost its citizens. The authorities believe it's because of a serial killer. Detective Elias Burke knows better. As the number of victims increases, he discovers a truth even more disturbing than homicide. An underground network using vulnerable individuals for a contest designed for them to die. An unemployed bassist drowning in bills. A Filipino migrant worker stranded in an unfamiliar city. An ex-firefighter, an ex-soldier, a content creator living in a dream world. Dozens of unrelated individuals who have nothing left to lose. They're all getting one and the same offer. Around the country, children's games are being played for millions of dollars. For 456 participants, failing will have consequences worse than going back. A Squid Game USA story taking place after Season 3, with new characters, new set of games, and new plots to uncover.

They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.

Thrown away by the Zenin clan before he ever had a chance to matter, Ren awakens a system of eight impossible arts that lets him devour curses, forge weapons, command spirits, and break every chain. Satoru Gojo was meant to stand at the top. Sukuna was meant to be the nightmare at the end. Ren Zenin was never meant to exist. Now the timeline is breaking in this Jujutsu Kaisen AU.

this book is about my yumeship between ragatha from tadc and my OC Bizbob. now before anyone says anything. bizbob is not me. Bizbob is not my persona or self insert. yumeshipping can be OC x Canon. that is what this fic is. yumeshipping is when someone ships either a persona self insert or OC with a Canon character from a franchise/fandom. this story is self-indulgent and will have slow updates. I write anytime I can but my life is pretty busy at the moment since I'm doing a summer job. previously I made another book titled button bolts which is their ship name. I started writing without the context of episode 8 and 9 as those episodes had not come out yet. because I didn't have the context, the book missed out on a ton of lore and a ton of things didn't make sense. now that the show is complete I can make this story properly and hopefully not have any plot holes. I would really appreciate if you took the time to vote for each chapter and comment. it makes me really happy. like I said this story has slow updates so if you do somehow in some random universe get attached to my ship and want more please please be patient with me. without further Ado please head over to the character page and then chapter 1

The train never stops. The rails never end. And I didn't know that once I stepped aboard, I'd never step back off. I thought I was leaving my old life behind - the numbness, the quiet depression, the feeling that nothing I did mattered. Maybe I did leave it. But I didn't expect to trade it for something worse. Something alive. Something that watches. Fear wasn't supposed to follow me here. Purpose wasn't supposed to find me here. But both did. I didn't expect to feel anything on this train. Not hope. Not connection. Definitely not love. And yet... her. Kasumi. The hostess who moves like she's made of silence. The girl who never speaks unless she has to. The one who looks at passengers like she already knows how they'll die. The one who feels more trapped than any of us. I shouldn't have wanted to know her. But I did. Something about her pulled me in - the way she spoke only when she absolutely had to, the way she tried to never show a real emotion, the way she whispered warnings she wasn't supposed to say. And yet... it noticed. The woman who is partly a serpent, and entirely deranged. The creature who controls every inch of this train in ways no one understands. She needs things done a certain way. Her way. Always. When she gets what she wants, she feeds. When she doesn't, she devours. Now the lights flicker when I walk by. Doors breathe. Mirrors show things I shouldn't see. And every night at 8 PM, I lie still and pretend to sleep while something with a long neck slides through the ceiling, checking each bed, making sure we're asleep when we're supposed to be - searching for the one person I can't stop thinking about. I boarded this train to escape my life. I didn't know I was stepping into hers. I didn't know she was already claimed. I didn't know the rails were endless. But I know now. And I know one more thing: I'm not letting that thing take her from me.

My best friend Cass died on a Thursday. Three days later, at 2:47 AM, she sent me a voice note. Eight seconds. Her voice - exact, specific, the texture of eleven years of friendship. She said: "Don't take the 22 bus tomorrow morning." I almost didn't listen. The next morning a 22 bus on North Clark Street in Chicago lost brake function and collided with three parked vehicles. Fourteen people injured. Two critically. I would have been on that bus. More voice notes followed. Each one more personal. More impossible. More accurate than the last. Each one in her voice. The laugh that started before the funny thing finished. The specific way she said my name that nobody else has ever said quite right. Each one knowing things that were never written down. Never texted. Never recorded anywhere. Things only Cass could know. And then I found her notebook. What Cass had written in the six weeks before she died changes everything about what the voice notes were. They were not warnings. ⚠️ Completely standalone horror story. No prior knowledge needed. Full narration on YouTube - ColdPresence. Link in profile. Check your sent voice notes when you finish reading. Make sure you remember sending every single one.

Jose has everything money can buy-wealth, beauty, and success. But behind her cold and distant exterior is a lonely woman who has never known genuine love. Then she meets Adrian Blackwood. Charming. Patient. Irresistible. For the first time, Jose dares to believe that love might not be a weakness after all. But behind the grand doors of Blackwood Manor lies a darkness no one speaks of. As whispers echo through empty halls, strange disappearances begin to unravel, and the line between love and control slowly disappears, Jose realizes she has married a man whose smile hides something terrifying. Trapped in a marriage that becomes a prison, she must fight not only for her own life, but for the life of the daughter she loves more than anything. Because some secrets refuse to stay buried... And some shadows never let go. Some love stories are written with flowers.

I came to The School looking for a reset - a place quiet enough that no one would judge me, a place where I could exist without being watched. For a moment, it almost felt possible. Until the calm cracked. Students vanish. Lights flicker even when the power is steady. Whispers slip through the halls saying my name like they've been waiting for me. And every time the shadows shift, they shift toward her. Bruce watches the corners with a tension that makes my pulse spike, like he's bracing for something he's seen before. Bilton hides jealousy behind sharp smiles, clinging to me in ways that feel more desperate than cruel. But Kairaness... she looks at me like she already knows she's the one The School wants - like she's afraid she'll disappear the second I look away. I don't know why she's being targeted. I don't know why the building's attention circles her like a predator choosing its prey. But something inside me reacts every time she flinches - something fierce, instinctive, protective in a way that scares me. It feels like a part of me I didn't know existed wakes up when she's in danger. I didn't come here to save anyone. Yet now survival means keeping Bruce steady when the shadows move, keeping Bilton from unraveling, and keeping Kairaness alive long enough for all of us to escape - even if it means becoming someone I never planned to be. Because once The School decides you belong to it, it doesn't just hold on. It chooses. It hunts. And it wants her. And whatever's waking up inside me refuses to let it take her.

Static Signals follows Otis Vale, a quiet 28-year-old drifting through late-2012 city life like a ghost who never learned how to haunt. His job in data archiving is mindless, his apartment is decaying, and the world keeps slipping sideways when he isn't looking-walls shifting a few inches, static humming behind the plaster, televisions glowing when they're unplugged. Then the VHS tapes start arriving. Unmarked. Cold. Filming moments from Otis's life from angles no human could have recorded. Mundane scenes with something just slightly, terribly wrong-a moving shadow with no source, a whisper that plays backward, an elevator stopping on a floor that shouldn't exist. Iris Monroe, his coworker, is the only person who feels remotely real. Sharp, soft, grieving her own losses. They fall into each other slowly-late shifts, shared smokes on the fire escape, decoding strange files that show up on the company server. But when a tape shows her doing something she swears she never did, their fragile connection becomes tangled with the deeper mystery humming beneath the city. A forgotten psychological experiment from the 90s-Signal Room-might hold the truth about the tapes, the building, and why Otis's memories feel like someone else's handwriting. As reality glitches around them-rooms looping, timestamps shifting, people repeating phrases like corrupted recordings-Otis and Iris cling to each other as their last tether to what's real. the tapes are getting stranger. the static is getting louder. and the truth is trying to surface.

Some memories are forgotten for a reason. After surviving a mysterious car crash in the middle of Blackwater Lake, twenty-two-year-old Evelyn Hart wakes in Saint Mercy Hospital with no memory of who she is or how she got there. The doctors call it trauma. The police call it an accident. But every night at exactly 3:17 a.m., someone whispers her name from the darkness-and no one else seems to hear it. As fragments of her past begin to return, Evelyn discovers that her memories were never lost... they were buried. Hidden within them is the truth about an ancient species of monsters that have lived among humanity for centuries, creatures that don't hunt with claws or fangs, but by stealing memories, wearing familiar faces, and convincing their victims that they're losing their minds. The more Evelyn remembers, the stronger the monsters become. Soon she can no longer tell who is human and who is pretending. Friends become strangers. Family become suspects. Even her own reflection begins to feel like someone else's. Every clue pulls her closer to a horrifying truth that should have stayed forgotten. But the greatest monster isn't hiding in the shadows. It's waiting inside the memories she's too terrified to unlock. Filled with psychological suspense, shocking twists, heartbreaking secrets, and a mystery that grows darker with every chapter, Everything She Remembered Was a Lie is a haunting story about grief, identity, and the terrifying cost of remembering the truth. Because sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones that already know your name.

"Some cannot tolerate the pain-they wither and fade into nothing. Others, however, are forged in it, rising from the ashes far stronger than before. Five years ago, Rose's world ended. She thought she was dead, buried under the wreckage of a life built on lies. But fate was cruel enough to grant her a second chance, and she didn't waste it on healing. She spent every waking moment orchestrating a masterpiece of suffering. The world taught her that everyone is merely a player in a grand, hollow game of deception, constantly wearing masks and maneuvering to betray one another for gain. Rose learned well; she turned those lessons into her own weapon. Her life is now a high-stakes board of chess, a cold, calculated descent into darkness where every move is a strike against those who dared to cross her. She is no longer the victim; she is the architect of her own retribution. Look who you messed with. Let's see who is left standing when the game is over."

Y/N can be anyone. They've been the shy new student. The mafia boss's obsession. The vampire's mate. The CEO's secretary. The chosen one, the victim, the lover, the hero. They have been everything. They remember everything. And they are so fucking tired. Now trapped inside a top-secret research facility, Y/N exists as little more than living clay. Faceless. Featureless. Permanently unfinished. The scientists studying them insist they aren't bad people, sharing their lives, their memories, and their secrets in the hope of earning the strange creature's trust. Then a routine experiment changes everything. A fingerprint refuses to disappear. For the first time in Y/N's accidental cosmic existence, something stays. Human biomass can make them permanent. Human biomass can make them real. And Y/N has spent far too long being everyone else. They are going to become themself. One piece at a time. This isn't your story. This is Y/N's.
