Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 3
Many years ago, there was an old woman who lived in a secluded wood. Rumor had it that this woman was a witch, but honestly no one really knew for sure. She did have a very uncanny sense of intuition, however; if someone lost a head of cattle in the night, the old woman knew who had taken them. If a person had gone missing, she would tell their family exactly where they could be found. No one knew how she knew these things, but she was rarely if ever wrong. She brewed tinctures and poltices as well for the locals, to cure everything from rheumatism to the common cold. The legend was that all she asked in payment for her services was a dollar for herself, and a dime for her blind old coon dog.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 2
I've heard it often said that the best ghost stories are true stories. In this case, they're right. Before I was born, my mother lived in a small, close-nit neighborhood. My oldest sister was a small child at the time, so my mother became a full-time stay at home mom while my father worked. She hadn't been in the neighborhood for too long before she became close friends with her next-door neighbor. The woman who lived next door was elderly, but very kind and outgoing. She was a retired schoolteacher, and made decent money as a piano tutor in her golden years. My mother was - and still is - a teacher, and enjoyed playing the piano as well, so they quickly bonded over these common interests.

Goblin Bites: Scary Stories 1
To my knowledge, this story is true... although there will be some who doubt its validity. In the rural Southern town of Grantville, Georgia, long ago, there lived a young woman. She was betrothed to a strapping young man, although he was very poor. In order to raise money to buy a wedding ring for his beloved, the young man took a job with the railroad company. He was gone for many, many weeks at a time, but the young woman's love never faltered. Every time he came back home at the end of the month, he found her waiting for him at the railyard. He knew it was her even at a distance, because she would always bring a lantern with her. Seeing the lantern swinging from afar would fill his heart with joy, knowing that his love was waiting to welcome him home. In response, he would blow the train whistle three times in a row, to let her know he saw her.

Halloween Freak Talk
I still remember the day of October 31, the Western ghost festival - Halloween. I am an atheist, not a fan of such holidays, but occasionally look at horror novels to stimulate the nerves. Legend has it that on this day, all the evil spirits will return to earth from the underworld. But I never knew or believed that such a holiday legend as Halloween would also be fulfilled in China, but it really happened to me, so I could not believe it anymore. That day I came home from school after the evening study, it was very late and I was very tired. There are two ways to go home, one is a big road, the lights are bright and better, the disadvantage is that it is farther around, so I usually take the small road. There is a small road from the foot of the mountain, the road is darker and not good, but closer. When walking I also had a moment of hesitation: today is different from the usual ah, but, forget it, anyway, usually walk, and have not encountered anything, I am an atheist, I am afraid of what. At nine o'clock at night, the grass on both sides of the path is dark, and a lonely grave at the foot of the mountain, the usual tidal wave of movie plots into the mind, I tried to hold them back, but those images are becoming clearer and clearer. Think about something else, I think my friend told me a story about his family in the countryside when planting a half-rotten dead man dug up, about a river in front of the door, in the middle of the night a woman was standing on the river singing. Mom, what a mess this is. A cool wind blew me a shiver. Although I am a boy, walking up is also frightening. Suddenly, one of the graves on the side of the road moved, I thought I was blind, rubbed my eyes and then looked carefully, and found that there was a hand sticking out of the bag of dirt, I was cold in my heart, and then look elsewhere, and found that there are things in other graves crawling out, some have revealed half their bodies, and then by the miserable moonlight, it was clear that it was a dead man, staggering The dead man was staggering towards me. What a joke! Suddenly remembered that this day is Halloween, I sucked in a breath of cold air, wanted to turn and run, but just turned around, found that behind some time stood a "person", spitting white tongue, you can smell a stench, the face of the corpse insects even hanging out of the eyes, cold hands have grabbed my arm, clutching tightly, long nails seem to be embedded in the Long nails seem to be embedded in my flesh, my brain "buzz" a loud sound, a full kick and fight, and then scattered legs to escape. I do not know how long I ran, finally ran on the road, looking back behind me, the group of things do not seem to catch up. I was shocked by the weak street light, look at the raw arm, which has been strangled with a blood mark, and finally, I ran all the way home from the main road while running to look back. I live in a rental house shared with a classmate, arrived home at more than noon, the classmate is not at home, and the house was decorated by him in a typical Western Halloween look. There was a pumpkin lamp on the table, and the light from the pumpkin lamp was green, so I don't know what the source of the light is. The darkness of the room looks extraordinarily eerie, I did not care too much, my classmate is always so strange, all day long, I like to do some strange things, such as playing the midnight ghost hunting game, I have also become accustomed to. I went into the bathroom and drew a basin of water, but suddenly I saw from the reflection of the water, from behind my shoulder, the green pumpkin lamp floated out, slowly stagnated above my head, the green fluorescence flickered, the bathroom lights "brushed" off, leaving only the green light, the eerie ghostly face, flickering, I rushed out the door like crazy, saw a white shadow floating outside the window ...... woke up again is the next day noon, classmates concerned sitting next to me, I sat up violently, he was frightened by me back a flash: "you two days is what ah, yesterday I saw you lying in the toilet, are vomiting I was scared to death." I grabbed his shoulders in shock and said, "I saw a ghost, your pumpkin lamp, and zombies ......" before I finished, the classmate said with a foggy face: "What are you talking about ah, I just got home in the early morning, were to come to the pumpkin The lamp? What zombies did you see? You are dreaming, right?" I was dumbfounded, looked around, and there was nothing. But everything from last night was so clear, and on the arm, there was a bright red blood mark.

When Aliens Attack!
Zuu scrambled around a dark metal corner, fleeing towards the evac pods. Ze ran desperately, the destroyed and pilfered surroundings blurred partially by the tears- but not nearly enough to mistake the slumped bodies, mangled limbs missing owners . . . and all the ichor everywhere. All around, sirens were wailing and lights pulsed rhythmically- red, black, red, black, silver-

Genre Survey: Southern Gothic
From the muddy brown waters of the Mississippi to the coal black mines in Appalachia, the American South has long had its share of stories best told in the dark. These tales of violence, racial tensions, religious extremism and supernatural horror are often smothered in a humid blanket of delirium and reality-bending nightmarish elements that have haunted the American South for over a century. The artistic genre of Southern Gothic combines these macabre and horror elements along with the evolution of the history and character of the region to create many classic works of literature, art, and music, as well as widely popular movies and television.
