The House On Leafy Hill: Chapter One.
The house was beautiful. It was covered in beautiful flowers and rich greenery. The windows were small sliding glass panes, and the old, rich textured grey walls made it very warm and welcoming.

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!

The Hunters Demise. Top Story - August 2022.
Sanilla Tennessee is the quaint meth ridden town you'd expect it to be. Filled to the brim with southern hostility and maybe five fast food joints. It's the type of town that hold secrets almost as well as it holds water. Considering it floods twice a year and is smack dab right on the Mississippi River, one might be inclined to tell a tale or two.

Ghost Girlfriend
Ding Xiao and Yu Man met on a bridge. At eight o'clock in the evening, the road is sparse with few pedestrians, Ding Xiao passed by a bridge when she saw a few perverts sitting toward a beautiful girl sitting on the bridge, she was wearing a set of pink dress, a delicate face looks a little indifferent, at the moment she looked at the distance with a confused gaze, not the slightest idea that the few people who came around were beating her up.

Lost + Hungry
STAGES We had done some things. Some, unspeakable. Others we were proud to boast about. But we found ourselves here after our last "unspeakable"... Let's call it a sin, it fits with where it seems we are.

The Fire Flies
I’ve always been a lonely man, but back then it didn’t feel so lonely; it was just life and I was good at living it. Each day would pass with little resemblance to anything remotely enlightening or life changing. I would wake up and brush my teeth, comb the last few hairs that I had on the top of my head and set out to work; ready to accumulate another dollar for the day. Driving to work I was left in a zombie like state not really being coherent of the street lights or even pedestrians walking by; my brain filtering them out as if they were a floater in my eye, instead my body just knew what to do, I would blink and I would be at work, blink again and I will be at home. Routine engulfed my life and I didn’t see anything wrong with it, it was normal for forty two years and I had no interest in changing it. People would tell me the usual; I need to find a wife; I need to have kids; hell I need friends, my response would always be the same “why?” No one ever gave me a good reason to why I needed these things, they just told me I was suppose have these things, that I was suppose to want these things. Wanting anything in my opinion was over rated, wanting is the equivalent to desire and I knew that desire led to risks; something I always avoided and judging by the scenarios that played out in other peoples lives it was best not to desire anything or anyone.

The Beach House
It was summer my favourite time of year, and I always try to go away for a few days in August time, I love the sea so usually rent out a small beach house somewhere on the coast, I like to go to different locations to experience different cultures and enjoy amazing views. This year I wanted to go to a small seaside coast in the southeast of England, I had heard it was a beautiful place to visit with lots of activities to keep me busy, i scouted online for hours trying to find a reasonable priced house to rent for a couple of days, it was quite expensive, must be a popular location for tourists, I had almost given up hope when i saw the perfect place, from the pictures it had everything I needed for a great time away, plus it was right on the beach, I couldn’t understand why it was so cheap to stay there, there must be an error on the website, it was owned by a private landlord so decided to contact them to enquire about the price, there wasn’t a phone number on the website just email address so sent an email to clarify the price and whether the house was available on the dates I needed. I sent an email and too my amazement I got an email straight back within seconds which was quite strange, the price was correct on the website and the dates were available, I was thrilled, and paid a deposit to rent the property for the days I wanted, the landlord sent me all the details for the house, and where to find the key, he gave me instructions to how to use the stove and how to operate the heating, but what was odd, he told me to always lock the house in the evening, and always keep the upstairs bathroom door shut at night, I thought this was a strange request but reassured him that I would do as he asked, and keep everything locked up at night.

It Will Come Back
Something was out there, in the murky swamp, and it was eating her food. It started with the trash can out back being overturned. Then the pies and breads she set on the windowsill to cool started going missing. She didn’t care much about whatever was out there, after all the problem was simple enough to solve. She started letting things cool on the kitchen counter, both to deter whatever was out there and to save some money, since she couldn’t afford to make daily trips to the nearest town’s grocery and keep up with her aging father’s abundant medical bills. He was bedridden now, iller than she’d ever seen him.

Nope review: Is Jordan Peele's latest sci-fi horror his best film yet?
In 2017, Jordan Peele, best known, at the time, for his comedy work on the popular sitcom Key and Peele, and a variety of feature film outings, including Keanu, shocked cinemagoers around the world with his horror film debut, Get Out, which singularly redefined the genre, receiving critical acclaim and later earning the director/writer his first Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. The mixed response from audiences over its genre notwithstanding (something Peele later lamented when acknowledging the genre confusion caused by the Oscar-winning flick), Peele created something truly special with Get Out, providing a terrifying and wholly unique look at liberal racism through intensely provocative social commentary and a deeply unsettling premise.
