Some beds are made for sleeping. Suite 512 is made for haunting.

Elias Cross built his life on precision-numbers never lie, and he's never missed a detail.
Until Suite 512.
Every night, the bed pulls him under. A woman waits in the shadows, a memory he buried clawing its way back.
The Carroway doesn't forgive.
And she has been waiting.

The Pink Hotel by WriterDenice

From the moment Blair stepped into The Pink Hotel she knew something was wrong. She just chose to ignore it. That was her first mistake. She didn't know just how wrong things really were. She didn't know the secrets the hotel kept and she didn't know about the blood that filled the walls. But she'll find out. What happens when she needs to find out? When she had no other choice then to do so? What happens when the walls she built comes crashing down? What happens to her? The person she built over all these years. The person who can only believe what she sees. What happens when she brought down to her littlest form and left with nothing?

Cabin in the middle of Woods by bloody_pranksteen

Highest Ranking:- #3 in horror on 02.09.2016 A horror story starts in a dark night in the middle of mysterious woods, where a small cabin, with only one light flickering stands alone, trying to defy the spirits which are supposed to haunt the woods. Welcome to this Cabin where you'll be listening about spine-chilling stories. Stories which will make you crawl under your bed. But remember darkness is always there under the bed and where there is darkness there is fear. ~☆~ Dedicated to:- My younger bro (For listening them first at 2:30 am and hitting me if they were too scary.) Rockerchic_12 [Zee](for being my best friend.) bookwormhippi (for motivating me to write the horror story book again.) _ScilesSolangelo_ & Rose_Elaine & bad_poezyn (For always voting on our books)

The Ghost Book by soobamooba

An expert forensic team are called to the base to investigate a digital security breach, leading to the 141 team hosting one of the investigators. Their temporary guest, a rather odd young woman, seems to have an extreme and rather troubling reaction to Ghost's presence. But when clues to her strange behaviour are uncovered, Ghost's anger and suspicious nature gets the best of him and his quest for answers, forces him to face the darkest parts of himself. So this is a wee bit different. This story formed part of a longer work in progress. However, as that story grew, it was clear that this arc, added an unnecessarily complicated aspect to my main protagonist. Rather than let the longer story get too messy, I decided to make this a short story on it's own. The character is similar but I did end up changing her name and back story.
