Might night horror story
Sur **"The Reflection"** It was supposed to be just another antique mirror—one of many Ellie had collected over the years. She found it in a dusty little thrift shop tucked between two boarded-up storefronts in a forgotten part of town. The frame was ornate, with twisted vines carved into the wood and faded silver inlay. The shop owner, an old woman with clouded eyes, gave Ellie a strange look as she rang up the purchase.

The Curse of the Jungle
The jungle stretched for miles, a vast and untamed wilderness. The trees towered like ancient guardians, their twisted roots enshrouding the earth in a maze of mystery. Amidst the dense foliage and eerie silence, a lone figure moved with purpose. Her name was Samara, and she was no ordinary girl...

The Haunted Grave
This incident has three parts, different incidents that make up one whole story. The narrator collected this story primarily from his cousin, Alamin. The first part of the story Alamin heard from his grandmother, and it happened to someone from a house next to his grandmother's father's house. And the person it happened to was a Kobiraj (traditional healer/exorcist). It wasn't just him, but also his family, who were affected. Although the grandmother didn't see it with her own eyes, she was essentially a witness.

the curse of olumide
In the heart of Lagos, a sprawling city where ambition meets chaos, there lies an abandoned estate Olumide Estate. Once home to a thriving family, it has stood empty for over two decades, its gates rusted, windows shattered, and its walls whispering tales of sorrow and despair. The house, a grand colonial-era building, towers over the land as though it has a mind of its own, guarding secrets buried deep within its walls.

"Room 313". AI-Generated.
"Room 313" There’s an old hotel in western Pennsylvania—The Briarwood Inn. Locals call it “The Waiting House,” but no one really says why. Tourists come through, spend a night, leave. Most don’t notice anything strange.

The Roar in the Dark
The Roar in the Dark The jungle didn’t sleep at night. It waited. Ethan had always been the kind of man who needed answers. As a wildlife documentarian, he had trekked through deserts, swamps, and tundras in search of stories that the world had forgotten. But nothing had prepared him for the uncharted forest of Kalunga, deep in the heart of Africa—rumored to be cursed, avoided by locals, and whispered about only when fires burned low and voices dropped to murmurs.

The Haunted Grave: A Freedom Fighter’s Terrifying Encounter
The person who sent us this incident is named Asif. He currently lives in Mirpur. The incident happened with his father-in-law, who lives in the Bihari camp of Benarashi Palli, Mirpur 10. However, he is not Bihari; his ancestral home is Bhola. He is a local here. I'm not mentioning his father-in-law's name for understandable reasons, and his wife's name is also involved, so I'm not mentioning her name either. Many people around here know his father-in-law. The incident occurred sometime between 2000 and 2001. At that time, his father-in-law used to drive a van there. The incident begins with a date palm tree next to their house. This date palm tree had a small banyan tree growing on top of it. There was a washroom next to the tree.

Phantom Lights of Hollow Hill
The Phantom Lights of Hollow Hill On the outskirts of a quiet town, there is a place known as Hollow Hill, a forgotten hilltop that rises like a shadow over the village. The locals avoid it, especially after dusk. Stories about the hill have been passed down for generations, whispered by firelight and told with a trembling voice. They all share one thing in common—the haunting of the phantom lights.
