The Door by NightOwlChronicles

WHATEVER YOU DO... DON'T OPEN THE DOOR! Ever since a violent robbery forced Josh Riley and his family to move to a new house, he's been on edge. There's a strangely unsettling new student at school, and he can't sleep at night. The nightmares and insomnia from his anxiety are bad enough. But when he's home alone, something comes knocking at his front door. In the deepest, darkest part of the night, he hears the house rattle and the doorknob turn. He catches glimpses of unexplainable things - bloodshot eyes staring back through the peephole, strange symbols around the door, and racing shadows - but no one believes him. Have the thieves tracked him down? Is it merely a neighborhood prankster? Or is Josh losing his mind? The Door is a heart-pounding, page turning thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Haunted by JuliaCoffin

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]

The Tragedy of Eden's Gate by Maeve-Ashford

When a dark situation leads Theo to the quiet village of Eden's Gate, where the residents are odd and the pool of friends severely lacking, he's less than thrilled.

Cold spots, flickering lights, a shadow that won't stop following him- a recipe for a haunting, and for a complete disaster. Sam is a vengeful spirit, cursed to walk the halls of his own murder scene for the rest of eternity, doomed to an afterlife of dismal solitude. And then his favourite resident goes and dies, the house is given to new people, and Sam discovers - quite by accident - that the boy sleeping in his room can see him. And he is the only one who can help Sam solve his murder. - Open Novella Contest 2023 - Prompt 23: "They were not real, everyone told me they were not real. But why are they here?
