I'm just curious as to what kind of ideas people have regarding scary stories.

I mean I have a scary story……but its not really…..scary.
So? I mean, I kinda… wanna… hear it… if that's cool with you.
Yeah sure. Hold up one sec.
Okay!
I have a link to one of my favorite scary stories if you want that (There's five or six parts and it's pretty long, but it's terrifying and actually amazing)

(This is the first part. The link to the second is in that story)
I'm sorry I couldn't post sooner, I didn't know where this thread was.
So the story I am posting here, I think isn't that scary and I wrote this when I was little ok? I have an excuse for how terrible it is.

I can't access the doc without permission
Crap, how do I do that?
Does it show up on the doc itself?
Wait, I'll copy and paste.
According to google you're going to get an email
I apologize again, because this was really not well done and not scary…………I was young when I wrote this.

It was October, the month of horror, monsters and Halloween. Two best friends named Chrissy and Kayla were walking home from school and it was a nice day with a little chill in the wind. They were talking about what they were going to wear for halloween but,that was until they passed by the old,creaky,abandoned house that was up the street.
Rumors said that it was haunted by its previous owner: Mr. Leech and that his restless soul roams around the house and reeks havoc on anyone who goes in it. Once someone was dared to go inside it and yet came out with a bloody hand and screamed hysterically. “ Hey Kayla look at the house.” “ Chrissy what are you thinking?” “ I was just thinking about the rumors, I mean you don’t think it’s real do you?” “ Yes.” “ Why I mean you know those legends aren’t real.” “ Well I know but something must be in there in order to hurt him.” “ Well it could've been a prank.” “ Look Chrissy drop it. I don’t want to talk and it’s almost Halloween where we’re suppose to be having fun trick or treating.” “ Yeah I guess you’re right.” Chrissy took a quick look at it. The wind rattled the shutters. Below the rich velvet curtain, the wall of the house peeled off exposing cement of what supposedly used to be a beautiful home full of inhabitants.
So the next day was Halloween, Chrissy and Kayla quickly ran home to put on their halloween costumes, which were Wonder Woman and Katniss Everdeen. Chrissy thought to herself “ Maybe I should pack a flashlight or something.” “ I really want to check out that house, I mean it’s not really haunted.” So she packed a flashlight, some batteries, her phone, and her fake bow and arrow and she went out to go trick or treat.
As she trick or treated she noticed how dramatically the weather changed, how the cold was gnawing at the leather jacket she was wearing and how the moon reflected light off the trees creating menacing shadows. However, Chrissy ignored it just because it was Halloween. They stopped by their new neighbor’s house, Mr.Corken.
“Hello Mr.Corken and trick or treat!” He gave them candy and asked “ Are you girls going to that haunted house nearby?” “ Yes sir we’re just going to check it out to see if the rumors are real” “ I would recommend you shouldn’t because it actually is haunted.” “ I’m sorry, but I really don’t believe that.” He shrugged and said “ Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” and closed the door.
As Chrissy and Kayla neared the “ Haunted House” they saw Mark and Chris, the bullies at their school. Mark sneered at them “ What are you chickens doing here?” “ Chris laughed “ I bet they’re here to see the true masters at working going into that house. I guess they’re too scared to do it.” Chrissy piped up and said “ No we’re not and actually we’re here to go in the “haunted house” and I bet it’s not even haunted anyway right, Kayla. Kayla was about to protest but quickly changed her mind when she saw Chrissy glaring at her. “ Yeah” Both of the bullies laughed at them as both Chrissy turned on her flashlight and both of them were about to enter the house.
The porch creaked under their feet as they were about to turn the knob on the white door that had a sign that said “ Do not enter. Danger Zone.” The knob felt very cold. Chrissy turned the doorknob and the door gave in and opened to a very dark space. They stepped in and the door slammed shut behind them. Darkness came down like a hood, but Chrissy turned on her flashlight and walked forward and stopped to hear a sickening crunch below her foot.
“ Um, CHRISSY!” Kayla squeaked and pointed down at Chrissy’s shoe. Chrissy looked down to see a human skeleton on where her foot stepped, only to look up to find more of the same littering all over the floor of the house. Immediately, Chrissy stepped back and placed her hands behind her to find that the door was no longer there. In front of her was a dark hallway. “ Well I guess that's our only option.” “ But Chrissy we can just call someone to get us out of here.” “ Have you not seen horror movies?!” “ Okay fine.”
So they went down the hallway. The only thing they could hear was the silence of the night,the wind going through the house making a wailing sound like a zombie and their own pulse pounding in their ears. The hallway kept going without an end. Finally the hallway came to an end with a faded brown door, but something was behind it. The door whined on it’s hinges and moved back and forth as something was trying to get in. They as were about to do something, the door was knocked down to reveal a demon with red eyes glinting like metal blades,wings made of pure darkness, and claws as sharp as daggers. It made a horrible screech and it attacked.
Both Chrissy and Kayla screamed and ran opposite directions. Chrissy ran away from it while Kayla was stuck there with it. Chrissy immediately stopped and ran back to where Kayla was, seeing that Kayla wasn't behind her, but when she got back she was gone. Chrissy ran through the hallways thinking to herself “How could I have left her like that?”
At that moment Chrissy’s flashlight died leaving her in the dark. Chrissy blindly kept going bumping into things desperate to get to Kayla. It was as simple as this, Chrissy needed to rescue Kayla Before something happened to her and get out as fast as they could. She came to a small room and stopped.The room had a foul scent and then something lunged right at her. Chrissy screamed as the monster was trying to kill her, but however there was a window in the room and the sun was rising burning the monster only to find that it was Kayla but worse. Her eyes were hollow and some of her flesh wasn't there. She was zombified. Chrissy screamed for help only to have strong, sturdy hands pulled her out from the room and carry her outside of the haunted house.
She woke up on her bed in the morning, panting and covered in sweat, thinking it was a dream. So she went on doing her normal daily routine, though Kayla wasn’t there for some reason well probably because she was sick or something, Chrissy thought. Then something strange happened that day, as she was going on a walk she felt a dark,cold,dangerous presence following her. She looked behind her to see if something was here but there was nothing. She shrugged it off thinking it was nothing.
She walked home to find a note on the door. It said “ It was real. If you want your friend back then why not a soul for a soul. We’re waiting for you.” She gasped. It was real after all. There was only one thing to do for her survival. She had to run for her life.
That's really good! Aside from a few grammatical errors (which I honestly only notice because my Creative Writing class drills proper comma usage into our heads) and places that need paragraphs, it's an amazing story. The plot's really interesting and so is the twist ending.
Aww why thank you! Maybe little me wasn't so bad after all.
You should keep writing scary stuff!
Are you guys good with gnarly stuff?
Shrug. To a certain point.
There isn't necessarily gore… but it get's a little… intense.
For my story.
Hope it doesn't suck!
