He's Close
DON’T WAKE DADDY Daddy is already asleep when you open the box. The plastic board smells faintly of dust and something older, like a closed room that hasn’t been aired out in years. The cardboard stairs are chewed at the edges, softened by hands that once trembled as they moved tiny plastic children upward.

5 Most Haunted Objects in History: From Annabelle to Robert the Doll
I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with European history, specifically castles. There’s something about a stone fortress that feels like a magnet for the paranormal. In my mind, every castle is haunted, usually by a lady in a white dress, a headless nobleman, or (the absolute worst) creepy ghost children.

The Girl in the Car
I was eight when I saw myself in the back of a stranger's car. Not a girl who looked like me. Me. It was a Marfa afternoon. The kind where heat makes the air thick and time stops mattering. Sally and I were running through the sprinkler, burning ourselves on hot concrete, bored and perfect.

EviL NuN Horror sTory. Content Warning.
For years, outside a church that had been closed, a dog was barking loudly. Suddenly, a shadow swayed and came out in front of it. Seeing that shadow, the dog’s voice got stuck in its throat. That shadow kept hovering around it. Suddenly, the dog was lifted into the air and flew inside the church along with the shadow. The sound of its running could still be heard. After some time, its body came flying back, but this time there was no life in it. Its entire body had turned white.
