When Sarah buys a crumbling old house tucked deep in the Georgia woods, she sees opportunity where others see rot. The locals whisper about its past, but she's determined to prove them wrong-walls can be torn down, foundations can be rebuilt, and every place has good bones if you look hard enough.

But the deeper she digs into the house, the more it begins to dig into her. Unsettling noises. Shadows that shift when no one's there. A presence that doesn't want to be forgotten.

As Sarah fights to restore the home, she discovers some things aren't meant to be unearthed-and not every story is eager to stay buried.All Rights Reserved

Idlehall Manor by LeimaraGuiane

Marie had severed all ties to her former life, bearing with her only a modest suitcase and the faint, unshakable echoes of the past. Compelled by necessity and perhaps by the hand of fate, she set her course for a manor that stood beyond the moor, a dwelling spoken of in fearful whispers among the townsfolk. Yet Marie, resolved to carve out a new existence, dared to cross its threshold and enter into service within its walls. What awaited her was more than the chill of ancient stone and the oppressive weight of silence. In the desolate sweep of the moor and the dim corridors of that somber house, she found herself drawn toward a secret long concealed; one that would not, despite every effort, remain buried.

The Whispers in Hollow Creek by 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.

Blood rains from the sky. Friends twist into monsters. But the true horror isn't the city. It isn't the creatures hunting her. It's the voice inside her head. A voice that tells her she belongs here. Ariana must battle not only the nightmares outside but the darkness blooming within her, before she loses the last fragments of her soul. Enter a descent where terror has no bottom, where hope is a lie, and where the only ending is written in blood.

The Silent Thread by hagilyforever

When she crosses paths with Jackson, a boy tied to the university's darkest secret and supernatural experiments, Caitlin is pulled into a chilling mystery that sparks curiosity. But the threads binding Caitlin, Jackson, and his sister Emma are unraveling fast. Shadows stalk the campus, riddles carve themselves into walls, and voices whisper from places no one should be listening, threatening to expose deadly secrets. Every clue draws them closer to the truth... and closer to the thing that's been waiting to finish what Caldwell began. Some secrets refuse to stay buried. And some threads, once pulled, can never be tied back together.

Once the trust is broken by TeaStories06

Sarah Summers thought she had everything figured out. But when her fathers decided to expand their family, Sarah's sense of reality slowly began to unravel. Against her will, she was forced to move across the country, and soon, everything she thought she knew was turned upside down. At her new school, she found herself entangled in a strange friend group, one where individuality seemed nonexistent. The members acted less like people and more like parts of a single, rule-bound entity. These rules pulled Sarah further and further from who she used to be, and over time, she began to forget how unsettling it all truly was. On her very first day, she was thrust into a bizarre ritual where the group chose who she would date. She had no say, not in who, not in when, not in how long and not even in whether the relationship would ever end. She had never questioned who she was or where she came from. As far as she was concerned, she knew everything she needed to know. She belonged to a loving family, and that had always been enough. But after a chilling encounter in the woods, the past began to stir, haunting her, pulling her toward a reality she had never known existed. Suddenly, the questions she had never thought to ask became impossible to ignore. Who was she, really? And where had she truly come from?

To Hell by AzioPza

She was supposed to get better. He was supposed to disappear. They were all supposed to forget. But nothing stays buried forever. Especially not the kind of secrets that leave teeth marks. In a city built on silence and sin, five broken strangers are dragged back into the orbit of a man they thought was dead. Each carries their own trauma, their own rage, their own crimes. Each one marked. Each one watched. Each one chosen. There's the therapist who weaponizes grief. The girl who survived and became the monster. The boy who turned pain into poetry-and then into war. The cult leader who doesn't believe in forgiveness. And the one with blood on her tongue and no name left to pray with. A list has surfaced. And their names are on it. Crossed out. Carved in. Waiting. This isn't a love story. It's a reckoning. A spiral into obsession, violence, memory, and manipulation. Read it only if you can handle: Therapy sessions that turn abusive. Confessions that turn deadly. Love that turns into a knife. You've been warned.
