I had a nightmare one night and tried to write down what it was about. Unfortunately when I woke up in the morning all I had written was "The Takers are in the backyard." I came up with this short story as I was trying to remember what the hell I had dreamed about last night.All Rights Reserved

Middle School Horrors by TheEntertainmentBoss

A group of seven middle schoolers sneak into their school at night, trying to find a ghost rumored to be haunting the premises. Will their quest turn out to be a massive disappointment, or will they come face-to-face with the creature lurking in the shadows? This is a story I started writing three years ago, back when I was a sixth-grader whose brain was rotting in quarantine. I unfortunately never finished it. I didn't even get to the climax. Y'know how a lot of people cringe at their old works because of how silly or stupid their plot/writing style was? Three years later, as a ninth-grader, I didn't experience the same. The story had potential, so I decided to rewrite it in my newer style, and depending on motivation, I might actually finish it.

The Visitation by Aurora808

Someone is doing something secretively down there and are going to great efforts to make sure no one finds out what it is. But Josh and Katie don't give up, and soon find themselves in a very dangerous situation. Science Fiction/Mystery Note: I wrote this story when I was in high school.

Please read and enjoy.

It Came With The House by SnowyWraith

**Entry in thegrudgecontest** I was a non-believer of the supernatural, a skeptic if you will. I thought ghosts were a figment of overactive imaginations. Paranormal was just a genre created for entertainment purposes. But all that changed when I moved into an old farmhouse that had a tragic past... My once normal life was thrown into absolute chaos by one ticked-off specter. A ghost who was furious that we had trespassed onto their property and wanted us gone expeditiously. ********************** Highest Rankings as of 06/19/2021: #1 diabolical #2 erie #4 thegrudgecontest #13 following #18 haunted house #24 fright ********************** Some strong language so be advised.

Destruction by SupremeSavx

It was 1965 on a late fall night a family just came back from dinner when they were slaughtered by two twin boys who died in that same house on that same night. Some say that the place is haunted by the two twin boys. People have bought the house before but never made it out of the house, they were all murdered. In the present day, a new family moves in that very home with a 17 year old daughter Raven, 18 year old son August, and a 16 year old son Damien.. When the siblings become aware of the story behind their new house, they soon regret even liking the house. [Idk, I'm bad at descriptions. This is an inspired story, I got some of my ideas from American Horror Story: Murder House and Lost Girl, but I interpreted my own story into it.] Don't steal my shit.

Midnight Insomnia by julianlandenreadings

A mysterious disappearance, or, perhaps, an abduction of some kind. A witch who loves to toy with men. Ghosts who are trying to find their way and place in the afterlife. Demons seeking redemption for their past sins. Angels hungry to prove their creators aren't as almighty as they seem. Supernatural creatures trying to go against their worst instincts for blood. And ordinary humans turning into the most feared individuals on the planet. Did any of this sound interesting? Check out a teaser: "Last night, I heard something coming into my bedroom...it opened the door and let itself in, it walked on the creaking wooden floor towards my bed, and that's when I saw it, a stream of overwhelming and haunting beam of light." ----Chapter 1: It Came for Me Reader discretion advised: rated mature for graphic depictions of violence, disturbing content including material that may be sensitive to others, sexual content, mature themes, strong language, and some drug use.
