Scary Stories 2023

Based On A Dream I Had Aug. 4, 2023 by Allison Escobar

It was a chilly night, Sophia sat with her cousin Alexander on his bed playing Roblox. Alexander's mother was coming home soon from work so they were alone with their other cousin Vianneth.


"Alexander I'll be back I'm thirsty." Sophia said setting her phone down. "Okay, can you bring me some chips please?" Alexander asked. "Ugh fine." Sophia said making her way down the stairs. She entered the kitchen to find her cousin sitting there working on homework. 


"Alexander I thought you were upstairs?" Sophia asked shocked a bit at how her cousin made it down before her. "Oh uh no I'm working on homework I'll be back up in a bit." He said. "Okay." Sophia said. She noticed he was wearing a white shirt with black shorts.


'Guess he changed' she thought. Sophia got her water and the chips Alexander asked for her and Vianneth since he was downstairs. 

Leaving the kitchen Sophia felt someone staring at her and it wasn't going away.  She turned around and saw Alexander right in front of her. 


"MY GOODNESS ALEXANDER YOU SCARED ME!" She said loudly jumping back. "Oh sorry, would you like to join me for homework?" He asked. 


'Why was he speaking so formal?' She thought. "No thanks I hate homework you know that."  Sophia said, her eyebrows furrowed. 

"Right, silly me I must've forgotten." He said once again going back to his seat. 


'Well that was..interesting.' she thought going back upstairs. She set the chips and water on a little table before going to the bathroom.  


Once she was done doing her business she went to wash her hands. She pumped soap onto her hands scrubbing them. She looked in the mirror and noticed something.  Something was off, she felt it. She noticed her reflection was different. Her eyes were red as if she had been crying. 


The thing in the mirror was creeping her out. The thing started smirking and soon the lights went out. Sophia jumped in fear turning the water off. She got the chips and her water quickly going back to the room. 


Out of all the paranormal activity in the house, this was by far the scariest. She wondered if the power had gone out throughout the whole house. 


She opened the door and was met with Alexander on the bed playing Roblox… "What took you so long?" Alexander asked looking up. He was back in his all-black outfit. No white shirt. "Sorry I had to use the bathroom, weren't you downstairs?" Sophia asked. 


Her eyebrow arched as she waited for a response. "No, I was up here?" Maybe she was seeing things. But it felt so real, she saw Alexander downstairs doing homework. She started getting a headache when suddenly she heard stairs creak as if someone was coming up. 


If Vianneth and Alexander were up here, who was coming up? 

Her headache got stronger as the footsteps got closer. She couldn't move. She was frozen. Everything and everyone around her was frozen.


The steps got closer to the door and it opened to reveal her Aunt.. Relief washed over Sophia. She checked the clock and saw it was nine p.m. Of course, nine is when she comes home from work. "Alexander did you do your chores like I asked you to?" the aunt asked. "Yes, mom." Alexander said looking up at her. His eyes widened as he looked behind her. 


Sophia followed his gaze and saw ….Alexander? There were two this whole time. A copycat? "What?" The aunt asked. She looked behind her and saw the other Alexander. This was the one Sophia saw downstairs but he was a bit different. Eyes bloodshot red and a grin. 


Alexander's mother started looking between the two and finally stopped at the copycat. Sophia started praying and praying. She was terrified. What was going to happen? Was Vianneth okay? Who is this copycat? 


Alexander's mother put her hand over the copy's mouth and the copy turned to dust. 


That was where my dream ended. I believe in evil spirits, they surround us and that is why we must be careful. I have had other dreams similar to these but one that scared me the most was when my own reflection was the devil. Evil spirits are real, protect yourself please, or else something bad will happen.

Abyss by Sophia Taylor

Abyss. The words came out of my mouth without a second thought. But they were true. My eyes searched the never-ending black void of the night searching for some form of light. But the light was nowhere to be seen. I closed my eyes, too full of the dark mass that was in front of me. Or is it around me? That’s the question, but the answer is found within its savage depths. My closed sight didn’t so bestow the blessing of safety but the ruthless stab of danger. My unforgiving sight, blinded by my own fear was useless. But my senses weren’t completely. As I stared into the face of death it felt uncomfortably comforting. Like the first chill of winter grasping your neck as it chokes for the last warmth in your body. How pleasant it was. Abyss wasn’t the correct way to describe this hellish night. No - not the right word at all. Though what more describes the threatening aura of eternity- maddening it is, it felt normal. Gah, what am I saying?! This cursed place is twisting my words and thoughts to its pleasure. Quite clever, but a threat is unsettling. The longer I started into a never-ending void, I could feel the weight in my eyes, the pressure of the darkness too much for the human eye. But as the weight increased my senses spread to be sharpened, not declared as the blind would think, but I believe I'm not mad! Though, my thoughts are not mine but the demons that lurk in the darkness. My tongue twists at its will, unable to make words of my own! Age hasn’t been kind, but my thoughts aren’t scrambled like a madman, but the acute sense of a genius! Silly of me to think the void was a threat, it was hope. The last ray of the morning sun, as it rose upon the horizon, burning everything in its wake, a beautiful sight. The sense of darkness hung over me like a cloud, and welcomed me like a warm blanket, as I found myself being pulled deeper, away from my home, far from the shore, like the soul of the abyss. I opened my eyes and could see the darkness embrace me as one of their own. The demon snarls and shrieks as I lure closer. My fate is sealed you see? I am forever bound by the chains of hell, and am now a soul that is slaved by the hellish night haunted by the hidden moon that smiles a sinful grin of the devil.

I Never Stopped Loving You By Arsh

Finally, the year is gonna end. It’s Christmas Eve, everything is perfect. I got the presents, tree, stockings, stocking stuffers, the cocoa- crap! I forgot the hot cocoa. I mean, it would be good to get in a little bit of family time since I’ve been so busy. I got my girls dressed up in their winter clothes since it’s super cold outside. My husband quickly got dressed as well. We all walked out to the car and my husband started driving soon. It was kinda late so my girls Lana and Luna were fast asleep. Little did I know, my husband was asleep too. And right there, we almost crashed. I screamed which woke him up and got him to go back into the right lane. 


“What the hell Noah?! You could have just killed us! Pull over right now, I’m driving!” 


“Veronica I cannot stop right now there’s too many cars! I’ll pull over at that gas station right there!” And that’s what he did. Luna and Lana were wide awake now, wondering what was happening. So the two of them got out seeing their mom and dad argue. They walked away and saw a dog. The two girls walked up to it but it snarled at them. Cornering them and scared they started to call out for their father. He yelled out. 


“What do you want girls?!” He then saw what was going on. 


“Girls, step away, slowly.” He said in a more quiet tone. But the dog walked closer to the girls. Noah then ran to the car and grabbed a taser. He tased the dog knowing that was one of the last things he would ever want to do to a dog. It then ran away and he grabbed the girls, putting them back in the car. Veronica walked over to Noah saying she was gonna check if this gas station had any cocoa. She looked around in the store and soon found some, it was even the kind that she had when she was a little girl. She paid, walked out, and got into the driver's seat. Still pissed off at Noah. The ride was quiet except for the girls whispering and giggling in the back. Once they got home they all went straight to bed. Hoping the next morning would be like nothing happened. And it was like that. Veronica made breakfast and hot cocoa, the girls came down eating as quick as they could so they could open presents. Noah put on Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas while he slow danced with Veronica in the kitchen while the girls watched. Once everyone was done with what they were doing, the girls opened their stockings which were filled with little candies, hair stuff, and a new toothbrush as always. They ran to the tree finding the gifts with their names. Veronica and Noah also walked towards the tree grabbing the gift for each other. Noah got Veronica a new bath and body works set with some new high heels. Veronica got him his favorite cologne and some new shirts. Then there was a knock at the door that made Veronica jump. She walked over to be met with her neighbor Susan. She had a big tin filled with cookies and she looked a little too far into the house where she saw Noah, Luna, and Lana. Their mouths bleeding out with garlands shoved down their throats, sticking out of their mouths. Veronica got upset very easily. She was also a schizophrenic. So, there was no getting up, no slow dancing. The night before, the girls had gotten killed by those dogs. Noah was pissed that Veronica wasn’t paying attention to them because he was getting the cocoa. So she pulled out her pocket knife, slitting his throat open. There was a pool of blood at her feet. She then cried. 


“What the hell did I do? I killed my husband!” She cried, tears going on and on. 


“I never stopped loving you Noah, you just piss me off so much! You know it’s not always my fault, I was running low on my meds!” She then dragged all three of the bodies into her trunk praying that no one saw her. 


So now Susan saw Noah with his throat open, flies were already swarming towards all of them. 


“What the hell Veronica?! What’d you do to them?!” She cried out in terror. Veronica then smashed the tin against Susan’s head.

“Why are you insulting my family?!” Veronica then dragged Susan by her hair slamming the door behind her. She kept banging her head on the floor until she had a huge gash on her forehead. Veronica then grabbed a kitchen knife, stabbing Susan about seven to eight times. She then held her head up, kissing Susan. Cause she always had a small crush on her. Anywho, she then snapped Susan’s neck and lit her hair on fire. She then walked back over to her family and gave them a big smile. Blood on her face from kissing Susan. A little bit on her teeth too. 


“I hope you like your gift Lana, Luna helped pick it out!”

The Haunting Shadows of Hanami~

Beneath the cherry blossoms' tender veil, In a village's heart, a chilling tale, Hanami's joy, a fleeting bloom, Turned to shadows, impending doom.

As twilight wove its mystic thread, Whispers spoke of ancient dread, Masked figures, a spectral wraith, Rising from the forest's breath.

Flutes sang out their plaintive call, Lanterns danced, casting shadows tall, Tension gripped the heart's refrain, A bowstring's pull, a soul's quivering pain.

A scream tore through the tranquil air, Eyes wide, hearts burdened by despair, Phantoms robed in ebony shroud, Their presence, a suffocating cloud.

The leader, mask of twisted lore, A visage from an eerie shore, Silent steps, a malevolent trance, Enveloping the village in a ghostly dance.

"We are the Yurei of Hanami's yore, From shadows deep, we rise once more, This festival, its purpose true, Shall return to whence it grew."

A gnarled hand raised to the sky, Lanterns died, stars refused to comply, Darkness swallowed the world so dear, A nightmarish symphony of fear.

At dawn's embrace, the village lay still, Once lively streets now eerily chill, Cherry blossoms wept, petals cascading, Lost souls of Hanami forever abiding.

A cursed tale of Hanami's plight, Etched in memory, a chilling sight, Each spring's return, a haunting refrain, The shadows of the past, forever remain.

Night time fell as Jude was brushing her teeth she saw something, it was a 6 foot fuzzy with bright red glowing eyes she screamed while her toothbrush fell out of her hands. Her dad came rushing in asking what happened. She explained what happened and how she saw a monster. Her dad went silent for a second and then told her to go to bed and forget about it. Jude stayed up all night wondering what it was that she saw and why did her dad go quiet. The morning came around Jude was very tired because of last night. Her dad told her good morning like if nothing happened last night. She said “Good morning.” her dad told her to take a seat and that breakfast would be ready soon. While waiting for her brother to come down, he took a seat and asked Jude, “Why were you screaming  last night?” She told him what she saw last night. His face went from confused to frightened. I asked him what's wrong? he said you saw him too! The whole room went silent like if someone pressed pause on the entire room. My dad walked in and broke the silence. We didn't talk at breakfast. The whole room felt so empty after  we finished eating my dad asked me if i wanted to go to the park with him and tommy i said No thank you When tommy and dad left i knew it was time to investigate what was that monster and what did it want from us i searched all around the house but i couldn't find nothing  night falls and tommy and dad are still not home i don't worry too much about it because they probably were stuck in traffic or maybe went                to go get   something to eat as i was about to start getting ready for bed i heard  something i went downstairs to see if tommy and dad were maybe back home when jude went down she saw something horrifying. She saw the monsters red eyes staring deep into her soul when the monster saw jude he pulled out something that was shaped  like a wand and made this portal as the monster hopped in jude decided to jump in with the monster even tho jude didn't know where the portal was going to take her she still went anyway.

He looks around for a whileand sees its coming from the dark side of the woods. He runs fast as he can but no one is there. He still hears the voices. He looks around for a while and sees its coming from where he spilled the green bottle and all of a sudden, the son wakes up from his dream.

Just Across the River by Natalie Taitano

Just across the river

Me and my mother

Live in the cabin

With moss strewn upon

Rotten wood, broken bricks

On the floor, we often need to fix

Just across the river

My mother and I

Live alone in peace

But alone we are no longer

As we fear the dark beast


The beast will appear

Just across the river

I deeply fear

He will destroy our peace

And harm our family;

Harm my mother

My mother is kind

Compassionate

She would never hurt a fly

So why would the beast harm my mother?

Why would it want her to die?

I see the beast

Each and every night

Tall stature and glowing eyes

It only appears when my mother isn’t near

So she can never see it


It whispers but

It looks like it’s screaming

Even if its skin

Is black as night

I still see the gaping void

Terrifying, it is

Its whispers get louder

I’m afraid that someday

I may have to shut it up

Forever

I see the beast

Through my window

Outside my room

Maybe it is not

My mother it is after

Perhaps it is me who will

Meet my doom

As my mother comes back

Into our safe home

I cry to her

“I saw the beast again

Why do you leave me alone?”

“Only when the beast arrives

You are not here

To protect me

And I am not there

To protect you.”

She hugs me tight

While I cry in her arms

She deals with my blabbering


Nearly every night

Some nights I may stay quiet

But that is only when

It stares at me

Through my window

Almost as to threaten me,

“Look at me,

Look at me,

Look at me.”

Is what it whispers

It drives me insane

I want it to go away

It whispers

Louder, louder, louder

“Look, look, look”

Losing my mind as if

I had a mind to begin with

My mother believes I’m ill

But my eyes do not deceive

The creature gets closer

The creature gets louder

I want it to leave

I might as well

Be falling ill

As I am sick of the beast

Threatening me with

It’s twisted words

I’ve had enough

My nights spending time

Listening to it’s sick rhymes


I feel as if I

Had lost my mind

Over a thousand times

I grab a stick

Mom and I play ball with

Tonight it will not be used

To play ball

It will be used

To silence the whispers

As my mom leaves the house

I follow her

I step out

And I see the beast

I ready my stick

I take a hit

No time for waiting

When you are fighting

A creature prepared to harm

I slashed its feeble body

It slammed to the ground

To be safe,

I beat it 20 times over

Now it will no longer

Harm me or my mother

I put the stick down

Bloody on the ground

Put him in a place

Where he could not be found

Headed into my home

Peaceful and safe


To wait for my mother

To be in her arms

Crying and laughing

“It is gone! It is gone!”

She never did come back

I pondered where she went

That entire night

She had left me alone

I decide until then

I will fall asleep in my bed

Comfortable and unhaunted I will be

For defeating that awful creature

Had set me free

What a beautiful morning it was

No longer fearing

The beast just across the river

Birds chirping, flowers blooming

The gloomy sky was ruined

By the shining morning sun

My mother has yet to return

I wondered where she was

But right now I have

A more important task

Seeing if the beast remains

Lying dead on the ground

I walk outside

To the place I set

The beast’s dead body

And what I saw next

Made me sick to my stomach


My mother lay there

Lifeless and empty

She lay there

Face to the ground

Right in the spot

Where the beast was

Tears dripped down my face

But then I realized

“Mother cannot be gone,

She is just tired from last night!

Yes, that has to be it.”

I pick my mother up

Wipe away my tears

She’s quiet when she sleeps

But it’s alright

I know she’s just asleep

I set her in bed

Tuck her in nicely

I kiss her cheek,

“Don’t worry Mother,

I will take care of you.”

I let her rest up

She lays still, quiet

Crimson red all over, they must be

From the berries

She picked just for me

I smile at her

Knowing when she wakes up

We will be happy once more

As the beast cannot

Hurt us anymore
