Whispered Shadows, écrit par Laconie1975

Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.

The Silent hours, écrit par Newcomer-

In the small, forgotten town of Greyfield, where the air grows still as the clock nears midnight, time begins to unravel. Sam Reed and her friends find themselves caught in an endless cycle, reliving the same night over and over. As the clock strikes midnight, their world resets, pulling them back to the same eerie silence, the same flickering streetlights, and the same creeping sense of something lurking just beyond the shadows. But with each reset, the night shifts. Subtle changes-the echo of distant whispers, objects that weren't there before, and faces that seem to melt away-begin to tear at their reality. The town grows darker, stranger, as Greyfield's long-buried secrets rise to the surface. Trapped in the unbroken hours between dusk and dawn, the group must confront the horrors hidden within the loop, as well as the secrets they keep from each other. With time fractured and the lines between nightmare and reality blurred, they must piece together the truth behind the loop. But the closer they get to uncovering its source, the more they realize-some things are never meant to be undone. In Greyfield, midnight is only the beginning.

The Whispers in Hollow Creek, écrit par viaaaa_writes

In the remote village of Hollow Creek, nestled deep within the misty confines of an ancient forest, strange occurrences disturb the lives of its inhabitants. Legends say that the village is cursed, haunted by vengeful spirits bound to the land since the tragic events of a forgotten past. The story follows Lily Dawson, a young journalist with a knack for the supernatural, who arrives in Hollow Creek to investigate these eerie tales for her latest article. Upon her arrival, Lily is welcomed by the cold stares and cryptic warnings of the villagers. She dismisses their superstitions, driven by her ambition to uncover the truth. However, as night falls, she begins to hear chilling whispers echoing through the tree line outside her window, coaxing her to uncover secrets buried long ago. Determined to find the source of these whispers, Lily teams up with an enigmatic local historian, Ethan, who believes that unlocking the past is the only way to quell the unrest. Together, they delve into the village's history, uncovering stories of a massacre that took place centuries ago during a ritual gone wrong. Each revelation brings them closer to the heart of the curse and the spirits trapped within. Amidst mounting fear and escalating supernatural occurrences, Lily and Ethan realize they must perform a dangerous ritual to appease the spirits and lift the curse. As they race against time, they battle both the sinister forces of the supernatural and the skepticism of the villagers who are unwilling to confront their past. In a spine-chilling climax set during a storm-laden night, Lily must face the ultimate test of courage and faith, as the boundary between the living and the dead blurs, threatening to engulf the village in shadow forever. It's a harrowing tale of uncovering darkness, confronting fears, and the unrelenting whisper of unseen forces that haunt the haunted.

The Ringmaster , écrit par TheTremblingTales

(I write my stories a bit differently than others. I write them how you would watch a film, so it's not that long and so it's like picturing scenes in your head rather than chapters) This story is about a sadistic teenage Ringmaster, looking for respect, loyalty and attention. He has special ways of punishment if you don't live up to his standards as two brothers and their friends soon find out after a trip to the circus turns into a night of survival.

The Beast Within, écrit par LadyInTower

A family lost and a son alone. A boy's life at its end and beginning. An adventure filled with fantastical terrors, where a child becomes a monster, and a monster becomes a legend. *** These were the ominous words the ghost Marmy Jo spoke when foretelling Josiah's future: "Got a world of pain comin' your way, boy-and fast! But, if you make it, you'll come out a stronger beast than many." When a wolf attack leaves Josiah mortally wounded, his sister Credence is forced to abandon him to find help. Where she went, he cannot say, for the last thing he remembers is hearing his heart stop. Josiah, the boy who died, wakes to find the world much changed. Deep within, a horror howls, threatening to tear from his bones at any moment. With his sister gone, Josiah is alone for the first time in his life, and must learn how to survive in the dark, dark woods. But how can an eight-year-old defend against devious spiders, cruel kings, and bloodthirsty titans? And how long can Josiah refuse the call of darkness before he's pulled down a path of chaos and blood? 📚 Book Three of the "Bedtime Story" Series 📚 Content Warning: This story contains violence including death of children, mild language, alcohol and tobacco use.

The Girl Who Dances With The Snakes, écrit par okelzeynep

In 1997, two young journalists, Rachel and Max, fresh out of university, are searching for a compelling story to submit to a documentary film competition. Their search takes a turn when they stumble upon an old newspaper article from 1952 about a mysterious and unexplained death- one that has long been forgotten. Decades ago, Norman's Circus of Wonders was on its way to becoming Los Angeles' greatest circus, but everything came to a tragic end when its star performer died under strange circumstances. The circus burned to the ground, and its name faded into history. Now, forty-five years later, Rachel and Max are determined to uncover the truth behind the long-buried mystery. • As the story shifts between two different time periods, a hidden truth slowly comes to light- a truth that reveals not just a mystery but a bloodstained stage disguised as entertainment. The spotlights may shine brightly, but can the truth survive the darkness lurking behind the curtain? Rachel and Max, caught between youth and experience, stand at a crossroads. Too young to fully understand what they want, yet too old to remain uncertain, they find themselves stepping into the past- into the story of a girl who once danced with snakes. If you're ready, the show is about to begin. . . . . © 2025 | ZeynepOkel

The echoes of tomorrow, écrit par The1mperfectDiary

In a world where the future isn't written but echoed, 17-year-old Lila hears the whispers of events yet to happen - but they're not hers. The echo she's been hearing for months is someone else's life, someone's fate, and that someone is in danger. As she tries to uncover the identity of the person behind the mysterious echoes, Lila finds herself caught in a web of secrets, shadowy figures, and a powerful organization that will do anything to keep their plans hidden. Can she stop what's coming before it's too late, or will the echoes become her own fate? First Chapter (Excerpt): I've always heard things. It started when I was younger - whispers of something I couldn't see, couldn't understand. At first, it was just faint sounds, like voices drifting from another world. But by the time I was sixteen, those whispers turned into something more - echoes. Clear, distinct, and impossible to ignore. It's strange. Most people think the future is something that hasn't happened yet. But for me, it's not that simple. I hear the future. The thing is, the future I hear isn't mine. I've been hearing her - a girl I don't know, yet know everything about. Her life, her fears, her pain. I can't explain how, but I hear her voice every night, calling out for help. I don't know her name. I don't know her face. All I know is that something horrible is coming for her. And if I can't stop it... then her fate might echo into mine. Tonight, I hear her again. The echo sharpens, clearer than ever before. "Help me, Lila. It's happening. They're coming." The echo fades. And just like that, I'm left with a choice - follow the voice, or ignore it and risk the consequences. I don't know why it's me she's calling to, but I can't just do nothing. I owe it to her. And to myself.
