Scary Stories in Halloween

SCARY STORIES IN HALLOWEEN I was walking along the forest when it started to rain. I looked for a place where I could spend the night and I found a cabin. It was very small, and inside there was only a painting of a man who was very scary. His eyes were totally watching me, but I decided not to touch the painting. When I woke up in the morning, I realized that it wasn’t a painting. It was a window. FRANCISCO JOSÉ PÉREZ TELLO 2º BACHILLERATO A I had just arrived home and I was having a nice shower when a strange noise caught my attention. It was a really loud, terrifying noise, and it sounded like a kind of scream. I decided to stop my shower in order to discover what that had been, so I got out of the bathroom completely naked and went to the kitchen, where the noise had come from. What I saw a few seconds later still makes me feel confused and frightened. There was a dead woman opposite me! There was blood everywhere, the woman was wearing a white dress and had a knife stuck in her chest. Her face was completely pale and there were bites all around her neck. I was about to call the police when that woman stood up and started to scream, “Love is a good way of dying!” I didn’t know what to do, my body was shaking so hard, and then, all of a sudden, she took my face with her hands, looked straight at my eyes and gave me an intense, powerful and careless kiss in my lips. It was the best kiss I had ever had. Then, she hit my head so hard that I lost consciousness. I don’t remember any more. She just disappeared without a clue. I didn’t tell anyone about this story, just because I’m pretty sure that they would think that I’m crazy. But yesterday, while I was doing some homework at my desk, my sister came into my bedroom and gave me an intense and strong kiss, really similar to the one that the “dead woman” had given to me. I’m afraid!! SARA BRUGADA TEJADO 2º BACHILLERATO A

One day, I was in my “lost” home. I was doing homework like a normal day, but this day wasn’t going to be normal. My mind was thinking about my ex-girlfriend, whe is pretty, tall, her hair is beautiful, she is definitely gorgeous. She was in her parents’ home and suddenly a fire began in the kitchen. She was sleeping in her bed and when she woke up, she saw the fire in her bedroom. She didn’t have any exit because the fire was around her. Then, she jumped through the window. She lived on a 15 th floor… This happened two years ago and now I can’t forget her, it’s impossible, I have gone to the best doctors and they can’t help me. She is part of me and my mind. I couldn’t stand this afternoon inside my bedroom so I caught a knife and cut off my veins and I said, “I iss you Santa”. Now I’m writing to you, mum. Don’t worry. I’m nice and I am with Santa, she would like to eat your pancakes, this letter is being sent from Heaven. We miss you! CARLOS SÁNCHEZ MORALES 2º BACHILLERATO A It was 10:53 pm and Richard was walking through the woods, thinking about what to say to his future boss. He was annoyed because it was too late for a job interview, but he needed the money to pay the rent. At 11:01 he arrived at the building in the suburbs of the city, and he could see a man on the third floor, smoking a cigarette and looking at him. Richard supposed he was the man of the interview, so he greeted him, but the man went into the building. Richard wasn’t feeling comfortable with this strange situation. It’s not quite normal to meet fo a job interview at 11 pm, but, as the interview was for a job during the night in a faast food restaurant, he thought that probably they wanted to see if he was ready to stay awake at night, that’s why we went. Richard approached the door and it was a little bit open, so he could see how old and neglected the building was. That was another reason to get away from there, so he started to go backwards slowly and then faster, until he felt someone behind him.He turned and he could see a man with a little ax in his hand, and three more of them came out from the building with knives and swords. Richard started to shout, “Help! Please help!” But the men got him fast into the old building. The next day, a neighbor found an ear in front of the building while she was walking with her dog, and evidently she called the police. When they arrived they got in, and they found Richard’s head with no ears and no eyes just in front of the door. They checked the building and they found a piece of Richard’s body in each room of the house, and in the last one there was a note that said, “Congratulations, Richard, you got the job!” ABEL GIMÉNEZ JIMÉNEZ 2º BACHILLERATO A

We were having dinner. It was a normal day. One more. We never thought anything weird may happen. Suddenly, I received a phone call. It was John, my best friend. He was angry, so I calmed him down. He asked me about going out that night. I dind’t want to, but finally I agreed. My biggest mistake… So, an hour later, I was on the underground with John. There was a woman also. Only three people, that was weird. Then, when the underground stopped, everything happened. The woman took off a knife, and without thinking, she killed John with it. I ran away as fast as I could, and then I started to cry. I realized I had to call the police, so I did it. But the woman had already disappeared. I couldn’t believe it, my best friend was dead. How did it happen? My thoughts changed, first I was sad and surprised, but then I was mad, really mad. I made a last call to my wife and I picked up the same knife the woman had used before running away. After hours seeking, I found her. She was in the bathroom. I got in, ready to take revenge by myself, but the woman was waiting for me. She had a gun. But instead of using it against me, she commited suicide. Maybe she wasn’t ready to live with all that guiltiness in her mind. Then, the police arrived, and I was the only one alive. I was arrested because they thought I had killed them. Now it’s when the horror story begins. ÁLVARO ALBALÁ PEDRERA 2º BACHILLERATO A

It was Halloween night, thirty-first of October to be exactly. That year was going to be the first time I didn´t dress up and go around doing trick or treat with my friends Tom and Ron. We were seventeen and we thought we were too old to do those things although we sincerely wanted. However I convinced them to go out and do something like seeing how people were disguised, they accepted so at twelve o´clock we were in the street watching kids having fun. After half an hour Tom was bored and he told us that he had a better idea to do. That was the worst idea we had ever carried out, but at that moment we didn´t have anything better to do, so we agreed to frighten three children we had in front of us. They were disguised as a pumpkin, a skeleton and a mummy and they had collected a lot of candies. It was two o´clock, we had been following those kids for one hour, waiting for the perfect moment to scare them, but after walking and walking we finally got lost. Those guys took us into an uninhabited area, so we thought they would have got lost too, even though it was a little bit strange because they didn´t realize we were following them, what is more, they never turned around all the way. Tom and Ron started to argue about continuing with this joke, Tom was focused in finishing it and Ron said that it was enough. I agreed with Ron, we didn´t know where we were, even though we were seventeenyear-old teenagers following eight-years-old kids in order to frighten them, it was ridiculous!. We finaly decided to tell the truth and accompany those children to their home, but when I was going to speak to them I realised they had disappeared. We couldn`t believe it, they were there a minute before and now they weren´t, we turned back and started to run scared towards our homes, it was the second worst idea I had had. After a few minutes we were more lost than before and we didn´t know what to do, all of a sudden Tom heard a noise behind us and when we turned around I started to shout, there they were in

front of us, the three children with their family. In that moment we understood a lot of things, as their family they weren´t common guys, they weren´t dressed up, they were real skeletons, mummies, pumpkins and monsters. Next morning I got up in my bed, I thought it was only a dream and I went to the bathroom to wash my face, but when I saw my face in the mirror I realised it wasn´t a dream, I had becomed a skeleton, and it wasn´t my house but a similar one located in that uninhabited area. Two hundred years have passed since then, I miss my family and my town, and every day I regret those decisions.

CÉSAR ROMÁN DUQUE 2º BACHILLERATO ABOUT TO FINISH There I was, ooposite her, looking into her dark eyes while holding her hand. She whispered, “ Your trip is about to finish”. I didn’t understand anything but I couldn’t do much, I was a prisoner. In that moment, I felt myself falling to my death. My whole life flashed before my eyes. When I was about to hit the concrete floor with my whole body, I woke up. Luckily, it was a dream. Death has to wait for me a little longer. JAIME GARCÍA GARCÍA 2º BACHILLERATO B

THE SINISTER OTHER We have always listened to typical scary stories in haunted houses where characters hear weird noises and get scared of a series of paranormal events. Nevertheless, this one has its own essence. The Walkers had just moved to that creepy and sinister house further than any other house in the suburbs, when their life completely turned into a black hole where they couldn’t get out. Since they spent the first night, they had been feeling like if there was someone else living with them, especially Alison, the old daughter. It wasn’t a spirit the one who made things move, fly or try to kill them by itself, it was like a spirit who practised the metempsychosis between the members of the Walkers and was trying to destroy each other and themselves. “It was really traumatic and schocking to live seeing how your mother was trying to rip your hair off your head and yelling that she was going to kill you, and right after, she was trying to revive your father of the stabs he had received from your demonic brother, or even about what you have also done, but didn’t feel like if you had lived that” sobbed Alison. Alison was the only member who was able to ran away of the house when the spirit was in her brother’s body and didn’t realize. She was even subjected to psychiatric tests which proved that she had experienced some paranormal events and she wasn’t lying. She was also able to get to the police station with all the

proofs which revealed the long story about all the families who had lived there and had appeared dead misteriously. This spirit, who she denominated as “the sinister other” got into the body of everybody who had been in the house, even for minutes. She was able to film everything as she had had doubts about everything which was related to the house from the very first moment. Alison was studying criminology and this was her big opportunity to leap into this world with such a big case. Nevertheless, this was a tragedy for her anyway, but at least she could get some positive things, apart from surviving, even though she was alone…

RAQUEL VEGA SALAZAR 2º BACHILLERTO C What you are about to read happened to me last week. My grandmother had passed away one month before and I missed her a lot because we had a lot of things in common and we had the same hobbies, so we loved each other in a very special way. In fact, we kept secrets that nobody else could know. As a said before, it happened a few dsays ago, when I was in a bar with my friends. I left my mobile in my coat pocket. We were chatting and laughing and having a good time. It was some time later when I noticed an old woman rummaging around in the pile of coats. I was a bit suspicious and I went over to check if my phone was still there, and of course it wasn’t. So I went to follow the old woman outside to ask her if she had taken the mobile but suddenly she reached her arm out and gave me my phone, telling me that somebody wanted to speak to me on the phone. I was so surprised that I couldn’t say anything, just took the phone and put it on my ear. I can’t put into words what I felt, it was my grandmother’s voice warning that something terrible was about to happen and I had to cross the street as soon as possible to get away from the bar. In the following seconds there was a terrible explosion. Since then, I haven’t been able to say a word, the only thing I can do is cry.

Scary Stories in Halloween

OUT I hadn’t been able to sleep since I had moved to the new house. Maybe it was because of the things that I imagined creeping in the darkness, or maybe it was that picture with a little girl holding a bucket of lilies that seemed to stare at me from every angle. That night, when I was so tired I could barely stand, I decided to turn the picture around so that it would face the wall. And, for the first time in what felt like years, I had no trouble falling asleep. A sudden noise in the kitchen made me jump out of bed. I ran to the kitchen, but nothing seemed amiss. The surprise came when I got back to my room and found an empty frame and a few rotten lilies lying on top of my bed.

JUST OUT OF PLACE Two years ago I embarked on a cruise through the Baltic Sea. We travelled with close friends, so we spent one of the best weeks I’ve ever had. Many things took place during the journey; however, there is one that I remember as if it was just a week ago. The first thing in the morning was always visiting cities, but, from 5,00 pm, when we returned to the ship, we had the whole afternoon for exploring and discovering new places. The second day we had found a Casino, so the next evening we entered there. We had stayed for about 20 minutes when we saw a weird man entering. He sat in front of a dealer and started playing “Black Jack”. We knew the rules of the game so we started talking about him. First, I said he would bet 100 € and lose, and my friend, kidding, said the man would raise 500 € and win, having the dealer an Ace. We started to laugh, but it was just ten seconds later when we realized what I said was becoming real.. We were taken aback, but what happened next shocked us. The man bet 500€ and told the dealer to turn his card. We were frozen in place, just staring at the dealer’s card. It was an Ace. And the man had won. Immediately we started yelling out of control and left the Casino running.

That was definitely one of the coolest things I had ever seen.

DIANA RUIZ FERNÁNDEZ 3º ESO C THE CEMETERY VISIT Last night, my friend and I visited the cemetery. It was a dark and very big place. The cemetery was closed at night. We jumped over the gate and we entered. Inside there were many tombs and there wasn’t any light. My friend and I walked for a while. We heard shouts and barkings of a dog. In the middle of a dark garden, we saw a hanged dog and suddenly many ghosts appeared. We were very afraid so we started to run. Then, my friend disappeared and my alarm clock started to ring.

One day, I was going to my guitar lessons and I saw something strange in the room next to us. I was alone because it was very early. I realized there were tiny gray people, they were eating the brain of my guitar teacher. Obviously, I ran out home. In the park next to my house I continued seeing these people. Since they were in a UFO I thought they were aliens. I put my guitar on a bench and I made like I was playing in a swing. They came to me and I felt dizzy. Hopefully, it was such a bad dream…

CELIA RODRÍGUEZ SAN PEDRO 3º ESO C It was late in the evening of a cold November day. I was walking along a deserted street all alone when I fell deeper and deeper into the darkness, hearing the echo of my screaming. When I reached the bottom, I was stunned, but I picked myself up and tried to look where I was. All around me it was black. I felt my pocket, pulled out a match box and lit one. To my surprise, I discovered I was in a tunnel of an old mine. I couldn’t get out, so I had to go onwards. As I was walking, there appeared a glow in front of me. It began to take the shape of my long lost sister. She was dressed in a long white flowing robe. She was real, like when she was alive, but something in her expression was different. Her eyes seemed sad. I was afraid of her. I was chilled to the bone and began to run, but her spirit pursued me. Faster and faster we ran, and I couldn’t escape. She reached out and touched my arm and I shouted so loud that I woke myself up. There I was, back safe in my bed, hoping it was only a nightmare. LAURA MEI GUTIÉRREZ RAMIS

KUCHISAKE ONNA Legend has it that Kuchisake Onna can appear in secluded places with a surgital nozzle and a sack, and she will ask you, “Am I pretty?” If you say no, she will cut your head with giant scissors. If you answer yes, she will remove the nozzle revealing a mouth cracked from ear to ear and she will repeat it again and if this time you answer no, she will break you in two, and she will crack your mouth if you say yes; so be careful if you go to Japan and visit the secluded places.
