They thought the creature would keep on going, but the “thing” had just stopped in the middle of the road. Worried, the family decided to leave the car in order to examine it. Unfortunately, they couldn’t see anything around! They got into the forest to search for it. As Johnny and his family were walking around the jungle, they were able to listen to someone screaming. It was the voice of Johnny’s sister! They looked back, Johnny’s sister wasn’t there anymore. The family tried to look for her. They saw her bracelet on a track in the woods.

The deadly question There is a Japanese legend that is really scary. It’s about a woman who walks in the street at the middle of the night all by herself. She isn’t dangerous, except, of course, if you meet her. If you are also a woman, you will be fine. But if you are a man, she will ask you a question like the following one: “Am I pretty?” The natural thing to answer is yes! But if you answered it that way, you will be in trouble because she will take her hood off and reveal two scars. One on each side of her lips. After that, she will ask you again the same question: ”Am I pretty?”. But at the last time, there is nothing you can say, because if you say NO she will kill you. And if you say YES, she will get a knife and cut you exactly the same way as she is by saying: “If you think this is pretty, try to have it”. In all stories, no one has ever proved her existence. Anyway, people say that she was somehow real and that just one man has ever escaped alive and uninjured. It is said that this guy was walking around Hiroshima when he saw a strange woman far away from him. She started facing him and getting closer and closer to him. Then she asked him the same usual question: “Am I pretty?” The man, at first, didn’t understand the situation at all, because he couldn’t see her face. So he asked her if she could take off her hood for him to see her face. The woman was going to show her face, when, suddenly, a car came and ran over her body! The man ran away. Nobody could ever see him again.
Twenty years later, a detective, named G. Gordon, started investigating about a sequence of murders which had been occurring for the last month that time. All the witnesses of the case told him that a strange person with a hood on was at the moment of all the murders. The detective remembered about an old urban legend that he had heard about when he was young. It was also about a woman who killed men. He got to be curious and decided to solve that sequence of crime. First of all, he went to the crime scene. He got curious and started asking people about the person who had run over that mysterious woman. After months of search, he found out a garage which held the same car that had passed over the scary woman. Then, he entered the house. On the 1st floor, there was a blood track. He followed the bloodstain on the floor and when he opened the door of the bathroom, there was a corpse of a man. The same man that had escaped from the scary woman. Afterwards, the detective realized that the woman was alive! He started having an investigation done so that he could search for the woman. When he finally found a clue, his body was found with scars in his mouth.

Sneaking demon There was a family made up of 4 people: the father, the mother and the two kids. They were called the Washington family. They lived in America. Their kids had some sort of disease. They couldn’t stand so much light going into the direction of their eyes. That was exactly why the windows of their house were always closed. Once, they heard about a mansion that was for sale. The price wasn’t that expensive. The family looked for it on the internet. They loved the house. So they decided to buy it. They wanted to go there as soon as possible. The following weekend they moved away. When they arrived, they were really happy. The house was very big and beautiful. Besides, there weren’t so many windows. That way the kids wouldn't get hurt. But they didn’t know that the house was haunted. In the beginning, the children couldn't sleep because they were horrified. They heard voices inside their heads. The demons were whispering in their ears. So one day, the little girl stood up in the middle of night and went to her parents’ room. She was walking around the house when she saw a strange thing. The mirror was dirty of blood. Feeling scared, she ran to her parents’ room and when she tried to open the door, the door was locked. She screamed, knocked on the door and cried, but no one appeared.

THE WHITE MASK
One day, I was at my grandmother's house, when, in the middle of the night, I heard some noise downstairs. I was very afraid because I was alone. I stayed in my bed and waited for my grandmother to come back. But the noise was getting louder and louder. That was horrifying me until I saw something passing by really fast in the hallway. At that moment, I froze and hid myself under the blankets. Finally, I realised that I wasn't alone. I started screaming, but the neighbors weren't there anymore. I ran down the stairs, but the doors were locked. I tried the window, but it was locked as well. So I thought that the only option was going to my bedroom, lock the door, cover myself with the blanket and wait for my grandmother. While I was waiting for her, I had a brilliant idea: prepare myself when that thing came back. I was going to make a rope of blankets and get down through the window, when I remembered it was locked. I thought to myself: “Sorry, grandma, but I have no option”. I threw a chair at the window and it broke down. After that, I began to climb down the rope. Suddenly, I saw a shadow and the creature grabbed my arm. I was desperate, so I tried to release myself I couldn’t make it.
I started screaming and crying when the creature pulled me into the house. I couldn’t see the face of the creature, because it was wearing a white mask. I couldn’t think about anything else. All of a sudden, as the creature seemed to get stuck for any reason, I could get free from it! That was a blessing! I went downstairs to the basement really fast, locked the door, caught an axe, hid myself inside the wardrobe and held my breath. Then a noise was made! It was the creature trying to open the door of the basement. A few moments later, the creature broke down the door and passed by the wardrobe. For a while, it was possible for me to see it from a hole in the wardrobe. For a moment, there wasn’t any sound anymore. I thought he had gone away. “I was finally safe”, I thought! “Oh no, it’s him…”

In the shadow It was a very scary night when a family moved to a house in the woods. That place hadn’t been inhabited for the last two hundred years. It was on a horrible farm with the walls falling down and without any electricity available. When they arrived, the family felt a different vibe. They were in four members: two adults and two kids. For three weeks they had been through a lot of strange things, like: plates floating, a person outside of the house staring at them, etc. Every time they tried to talk to that stranger, he disappeared. The kids thought that the house was haunted, but their parents said it wasn’t and that person might have been just an old housekeeper. One day, one of the kids disappeared and the parents went crazy. They searched everywhere, but weren’t successful. 4 days after the kid had disappeared, they found him coming back to their house. He was kind of weird! He no longer played with his brother and sometimes did some bad things. On a rainy day, the two kids went missing. That time, they found them in the garden. The weird kid had drawn a pentagram and was saying strange things again and again. The normal brother was sacrificed. The parents ran into their direction, but when they got there, it was too late.
Both kids were dead and a man, made of pure shadow, was there. In a blink of an eye, the man was gone. The parents were frightened. They got into the car and ran away. When they were in the middle of the road, they started hearing the kids’ voices. Suddenly, the man that they had seen all those days outside the house was holding the kids’ hands in the middle of the road. When the light of the beacon hit the man, he was as black as a shadow. The car stopped and the doors couldn’t be opened. They were freaking out as the man was getting closer and closer. When he tried to touch the car, he disappeared with the kids. So the mom, in a blink of an eye, noticed that he wasn’t in the same place anymore. He appeared again, but at that moment, he was chained into a place which seemed to be hell. Actually, he was locked all alone inside himself.

The red truck It was an ordinary Friday! At midnight that day, we were going to my dad’s house. My son was in seat in the back of the car. The road was empty, but foggy. I looked back for one second and, suddenly, there was the hugest red truck ever. There was no time! I knew that I was going to die, but when I saw the truck I tried to cross as fast as possible. I bumped into the truck. When I got out of the car, I saw my son dead. I started crying and shouted in order to ask for help. I opened the truck door and there wasn’t anyone inside anymore! Not even in the back part of the vehicle! Then, I looked at my back and my son started going green. He was also moving and screaming! His eyes became white all of a sudden! I realised that Gabriel, my son, had become a zombie. I didn't know what to do, so I just ran as fast as I could. He was chasing me. I simply jumped inside a truck. He tried to get to the top of the truck, but he couldn’t make it. I asked for help and a man heard. I told him to shoot that kid because, although he was my son, he had turned into a zombie. He pulled out his gun and shot my son. The man walked on my direction, but he didn’t realize that the zombie wasn’t dead. The zombie attacked the man and killed him. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a zombie too. I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. I started running as fast as I could. I went to the nearest gas station and called the police. They just laughed at me. I looked around but there was no one there. It was an abandoned gas station! When I got to know about what was definitely going on, the zombies had already reached the gas station. And, in a blink of an eye, I was dead. Now I’ve got to be a zombie. If one day you come and walk in the streets of the place where I live, completely alone, I will be there waiting for you. BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

A MALIGN SOULMATE It was a dark night in my winter house. My mother appeared in my bedroom to put me to sleep. It was midnight and I was quite tired. She had just turned off the lights when she laid down in her comfortable bed. Then, suddenly, her body was all covered by some kind of shivering. A monster appeared underneath the bed. Its soul screamed as if it were out of the body. The Monster had long and sharp teeth as well as two big horns. The creature was holding a sickle. It remained still and didn’t move. As time was passing by, my mom felt more and more scared. Her blood froze and she never moved anymore, because the monster had stolen her soul and then he was inside her and after me. My only option was not to look back and try to hide and find a way to take him out of my mom’s body. I ran so fast that I could go out of the house. From outside, I could see the monster doing whatever he wanted with my mom’s body at its own pleasure. I didn't know what to do. I went to look for a police officer. They didn't believe in my story and started laughing at me. Again, I got completely lost because I simply didn't know what to do. I decided to face the monster myself. I got prepared with several knives. I couldn't hurt my mother. So I also carried a cross with me back to the house.
Arriving at the room, I looked into my mother’s eyes and hit her with the cross. She passed out and the creature came out of her body. By having only one movement, I stabbed and hurt it again until he went away. But when I looked at my mother again, she was fallen on the floor, maybe fainted. At first, I decided to call a hospital, but I thought that they wouldn't believe me. I got her in my arms and locked ourselves inside a room in the storage, because we could have food for a long time until she got better. Some days after, my mother woke up. We could hear the noise of the demon trying to find us. A little time after that, he really did it. He entered inside the room and got inside my mother’s body again. My mother got a knife in her hand, pointed at me and..

I don’t believe in ghosts On an isolated farm in North Scotland, a family of four skeletons was found by the authorities. The first skeleton was on a part of this farm which had been all burnt. The second one was inside a small room. The walls of this room were all covered in dried blood with a skeleton in one of the corners of it. The other skeleton had a strange medieval armour on. The family of skeletons were going through a common day in 1754. It was a weird house, in the middle of nowhere. At night, the family heard screams from outside the house. Sometimes, strange things happened in other places around the farm as well. The authorities had figured out that they died because the family’s father was an absolutely crazy man and tried to kill all his family members. He took his old gun and killed his wife and daughter. Then, he took a giant knife and stabbed his younger son to death by cutting him in half. After that, he killed himself.
Since then, a ghost has come up once a year in the surroundings haunting everyone who tries to get closer to his old house. A boy, who didn’t believe in ghosts, tried to go near the house one day. When he entered the house, he heard a painful scream. He wasn’t scared at all. He went to the kitchen and saw a woman sharpening a knife. He ran to the main room and saw a man hanging himself. He tried to get out of the house, but the door was locked. He looked back and, suddenly, he changed his mind, ghosts were for real. There they were in front of their very eyes! The boy was afraid. He didn’t want to die there. He jumped through one of the windows and escaped. For a moment, he thought that he had been safe, but the ghost threw a piece of glass onto his head. Unfortunately, the boy died. Since that day, every kid that has passed in front of the house has had the same feeling the boy had and has stated: “I don’t believe in ghosts”.
