2 Scariest Horror Story
Story - 1: It was a dark, haunted night. The moon was hidden behind the clouds, and the only light came from the stars. The wind was blowing, and the trees were swaying. The leaves were rustling and the branches were creaking. It was as if the trees were alive and trying to warn the people of the dangers that lurked in the darkness.

7 Scary Urban Legends
Anyone who has ever lived in a city will attest to the fact that they can be extremely creepy places. With so many hidden corners, alleyways and abandoned buildings, there are plenty of opportunities for sinister things to take place. From the old legend of Bloody Mary to more modern urban myths like Slenderman, there is no shortage of scary stories which originate from cities across the world. Cities tend to have their own identity and characters, so it’s not surprising that so many urban legends center on them. They also tend to have a lot of lonely people who are willing to believe even the most outlandish stories about local landmarks, hotels or houses. Whether you live in a city or are just visiting, these urban legends are sure to give you goosebumps regardless of where you are!

Gum Shoe Blues
Gum Shoe Blues I'd been working at this thrift store for about a week before I stumbled across the box. I say working, but it's more like volunteering. I'll save you the gory details, but needless to say that I screwed up after a night of drinking and ran into a bus stop with my car. Thankfully it was three am. There was no one in it, and the judge decided not to ruin my life over a mistake. He gave me community service and told me that it better never happen again. This was ideal since, as a college student, I don't have a lot of money. I also couldn't afford to get kicked out of college for going to jail either. So, with thirty-six weeks of community service to serve, I sat about working for my local thrift store, Charlies Second Chances.

Playing with dolls
I like to think that I’m your average 26-year-old male, I like the ladies, video games, sports and so on. I’m just a little different. I like to play with dolls. You know what I mean, don’t kid yourself. I like to make them date, go out, have a normal life just like us. Make them into real people, if you know what I mean. Pose them the way I want, make them do whatever I want. We all have our own god complex; this is the way I handle mine. Now don’t misunderstand what I’m saying, I’m not crazy or a homo or anything like that. It’s just that I have my own way of dealing with life and its downfalls. Not that I promote my lifestyle or anything of that nature, but it just seems to have always worked for me.

The Worst Ghost Story Ever
When it comes to telling ghost stories, some people take their roles very seriously. From telling creepy tales around the campfire to writing frightening fiction about ghosts and haunted houses, there are many people who find this sort of thing very scary. However, these stories are often so unbelievable that you have to wonder if anybody would actually believe them. While these stories may seem absurdly ridiculous and impossible, there is a reason why they’ve persisted for so long. Humans have been telling ghost stories probably since the invention of speech. There are good reasons why they have stuck around for so long – because they are based in truth. Although the details may be more embellished than we can imagine, there is truth behind every one of these ghost stories. So let’s take a look at some of the most famous ghost stories and see what’s behind them... The Montague Mansion: The Montague Mansion is one of the most famous haunted places in America. It is also one of the most famous ghost stories in America. The story goes that around 100 years ago, the son of the owner of the house murdered his wife in a fit of rage. Since the murder, people who have stayed in that house have reported hearing screaming and crying, as well as seeing blood on the walls. The truth behind this ghost story is that the bloodstains were there when the house was purchased in the early 1900s. However, the story behind them is not as simple as a murder. The house was owned by a couple who had three children, two boys and one girl. When the girl was around 9 years old, she showed signs of a serious illness. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her, but they could tell that she was suffering from both physical pain and some sort of mental anguish. Eventually, her parents decided to put her into a mental institution. The Suicide Bridge: According to legend, the Suicide Bridge in Scotland is haunted by the ghosts of those who committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. In fact, it is said that if you walk across the bridge carrying a pair of scissors, the bridge will open up and swallow you whole. There is a very real reason why there are so many stories of ghosts near this bridge. In the early 1900s, the bridge was actually a very busy place. The bridge was where people would throw the bodies of loved ones who committed suicide into the water below. This practice was so common that it became known as “scuttling the bridge.” However, the bridge has since become a place where those who contemplate suicide go to get help. There is still a large network of support for people who suffer from depression, and these organizations often use the bridge as a place for people to go for help. The Woman in White: The Woman in White is one of the most famous ghost stories in Britain. The story goes that once you have seen the Woman in White, you will never be able to escape her. The woman is said to be the ghost of a woman who was left to die in a house fire. The story says that the woman’s husband started the fire in order to collect on her life insurance policy. The truth behind this ghost story is much more tragic. The Woman in White was a real woman who actually did die in a fire. However, she was not murdered by her husband. She was actually a single mother who was trying to make a living as a seamstress. She rented a room in a boarding house, and one night a fire broke out in the house. The woman was trapped on the third floor, and she died there. The Hookman: The Hookman is one of the most famous ghost stories in New York City. The story goes that a man would go around the city and approach people with an iron hook for a hand. He would then ask his victim a question and if they answered it wrong, he would kill them with the hook. The truth behind this ghost story is that it was probably connected to a series of murders in New York City in the 1970s. A man named David Berkowitz was nicknamed “the Son of Sam” and was known as the “Hookman” because he used a pair of old scissors to kill people. Berkowitz was later arrested, tried, and sentenced to five life sentences in prison. The Old Asylum for the Insane: The Old Asylum for the Insane is a very old and scary looking building in New York City. The building was originally built as an asylum for the insane and operated in this capacity for many years. However, in 1913, the building was shut down and abandoned. People who have explored the building have reported strange noises and feelings of being watched. There are many ghost stories connected to this building. There is even a famous horror movie about the place. The truth behind this ghost story is surprisingly simple. The building was actually shut down because it was incredibly unsanitary. The patients were living in squalor, and the terrible conditions were bound to lead to infection. The building was torn down long ago and replaced with a much smaller building that still operates today. Bottom line: This brings us to the end of our article. We’ve seen that there is some truth behind every scary story. In fact, there have probably been people embellishing the facts behind these stories since long before they were written down. So the next time you hear a scary story, remember that it’s probably not as far-fetched as it seems.

‘They/Them’ Movie Review
They/Them is a new Peacock original slasher film written and directed by award-winning playwright and screenwriter John Logan. The film is about a conversion camp for queer youth run by the charismatic Owen Whistler (Kevin Bacon) where we follow a group of new arrivals, particularly a nonbinary teen named Jordan (Theo Germaine). I don’t want to say anymore about the plot, but needless to say, they don’t exactly try to make queer conversion therapy look good (which it isn’t).

farewell
At the age of fourteen, after dropping out of school, I took seventh place in the township, and with the hope of my father and brother, I was once again admitted to the junior high school which was more than three hours walk away from home. On the morning of the start of school, my parents got up very early. Although there was nothing to prepare, they had been very busy with it the day before. It seemed that soon after dark, my parents got up. The sound of scooping, cooking and their soft conversations could be heard faintly at night. When I woke up in the middle of the night, the fire outside the window shone on the glass window upstairs. When I was called up, my parents had already prepared all my luggage and stacked them on the table under the eaves. Beside the flickering fire, tableware and prepared meals have already been placed.

Result Of Evil
"Hmm, can you take five inches?" I asked her. "What about six?" she grunts as I go deeper. "Seven....Eight....Nine?" she doesn't respond. "I thought you would be better," I mutter, as I pull the knife from her chest. "The previous girl lasted 10." I got up and looked at her body wishing she lasted longer then the last but I'll just see if my next one can. I love doing this to be honest and no I don't just kill women, I kill men also. You see with the men I only kill them if their harassing someone or doing something wrong. For the women its all fun and games, Sometimes I kill couples. I remember this time I saw this red head with her boyfriend and though they were the prefect targets so followed them home and waited till the boyfriend left for work. Once I knew where he worked I went back to their home and kidnapped the red head and wait till her boyfriend got off work. This guy worked till midnight which he was also cheating so I think I'm doing both of them a favor at this point. Once he walked out I watched as he kissed the other women which I added to my list. "Hey buddy, catch" I said this as I hit him in the hit with my bat and dragged him to my car. I tied his hands and legs and sat him in the front seat of my car, I made sure I woke him up before we started the drive. "Hey buddy, I know we don't know each other but I'm taking you to meet your girlfriend. Also don't try to open the door because it won't work." He started begging for his life before we even got to the fun part. "First off begging makes this lame and its gonna get you killed quicker, Second stop yelling before I tape a rag to your mouth which I don't like to do but your gonna make me if you keep this up buddy." I never heard somebody shut up so fast I started laughing at him. When we there I dragged him out and took him inside. "Hey red head wake up i have somebody you might wanna seeeee." She yelled his name when she seen him crying and telling him how happy she is to see him like the guy was gonna save her " Whoa lady before you start calling him your hero and all that you might wanna look at these photos I took." I showed her the pictures and she stared at him with hate in her eyes. I told her if she wanna live all she gotta do is kill him and she agreed so I pulled out my knife and went to grab my gun. "So here's the deal missy, If you stab him nine times without him dying I'll let you go but if he dies before that ninth stab your done for." I handed her the knife as he begged her not to do it, I told her to start and she did " One...Two....Three....Four...Five, Wow this is a great he's still breathing" She was at 8 and only had one more to go but the guy stopped moving. "Well missy he's dead and you were one off which is so so sad" She jumped at me and I shot her foot. "See that's where you messed up" I picked up my knife and stabbed her 10 times she died before I hit my 11th. Those were fun times but now I'm on my next victim. Mrs. Johnson, the women red heads boyfriend cheated with. I followed her home waiting for the prefect time to grab her but when I saw who she was with I stopped dead in my tracks. I didn't think I would have to kill family while doing this, This should be fun.

The Last Door
One more door. That’s what I keep telling myself. One more door and that’s it for an entire glorious week. One week on the beach with Sarah and the kids. The fact that she invited me on this trip had to be a good sign, right? Maybe me moving back home and getting this stupid job proved to her that I was ready to be the husband and father that she had always wanted me to be. The mere thought of being back with my family made me take the stairs up to the door in twos. Who knows? Maybe I’d even get a sale at this one. I was feeling unstoppable.
