orr you could answer this question:
If you were in a scary movie/slasher which trope [basic character thats in almost every, in this case, scary movie] character would you be and why?

like for example:
I'd be the girl in the film who hears weird noises and stupidly yells out "hello??" and then gets killedlol cos I'm stupid like that

@Cotton ugH D: thats super freaky- dude I'd like evactuate that room immediately too lol alll the nopes- especially red eyes?? like no haha that creature, may it be spirit or otherwise, is clearly not ok like run

@cotton for the glass one omg it's gotta be a ghost cat they'd do that- swipe junk off tables lol

and omg that would freak me out so bad w/ the farmer guy- I mean I grew up in Kansas I know plenty of them but for one to be iN your room wiTH a croc creature like nuhuh no way gbye

@Cotton omfgfirst of alL NO THATSSOCREEPY
but aw ; o ; thats kinda sweet- that it would be your grandpa, I mean it's a wee bit scary, but maybe he just wanted to watch over you guys yaknow? be there for his bday party?

okok I got one

This was like WAY back- like early middle school back- we had just moved into this duplex next door to this like family of 2 daughters and a mom. I kid you not, as we pull up in a moving truck, there's an abulance leaving with its sirens off. First red flag. Turns out that the next door neighboors elderly Grandpa had fallen down the stairs and died. it was ruled an accident and my parents were just like that sucks but thats life- we'll send them a care basket or smthn. ANYWAYS so we move in and within the first week there's weird junk happening. Like the keys missing, dogs getting into stuff that was out of their reach before, voices when no one was home. And of course we're the dummies in the scary movie who write everything off as "oh thats normal psh I guess I forgot to put that tissue box back on the counter like I do evERY other day, it's prolly just the neighbors talking" ya know that kind of writting it off

So we live there and things just become a normal routine. Like we still hear voices but we're litterally fused with another house, so that's normal. Then about a year and a half later, things get really bad. I'm talking gross smells, cold spots, banging. The whole 9 yards. We had ppl come over and litterally look at the air conditioning unit to see if something died in it or what, but nothing. Then one night, I'm home alone. The dogs along with my brother are with my parents, the neighbors are out (I heard their garage), and I'm completely alone playing Spyro or smthn. So then I hear footsteps. I just write it off, like usual, because I'm just dumb. But then I hear them coming down the stairs. Now they're carpeted stairs but creaky as all heck, you could hear a 5 pound puppy come down them. So I hear the stsirs and then I start to panic like o sh it there's someone in the house, no ones home, whatdoido.

But at the same time I'm like I'm not gonna freak out my mom and have it turn out to be nothing I'm gonna check if there's actually someone there. Now, I live on the bottom floor right next to the stairs to the basement, the laundry room, and the door to the garage. There's essentially three floors. Mine, the living room/front door, then the porch/kitchen/parents bedroom/my bbybros room. I hear this person come down the first flight of steps to the living room [assuming he came in from the porch to the kitchen] and so rightfully if I just peaked out at that moment I should see him finish coming down the first flight of steps. I go to my door and perk out. And standing at the top of my flight stairs, facing straight towards my door, towards me, is a man. He's wearing this like pair of khakis and a white button down shirt, and he's kinda hunched over- not like a big "oh hey there I'm a manly man" kind of dude- but a "Im old" kind.

And so practically peeing myself right then and there, I shut the door, call my mom sOBBING, and pushing junk against the door so he can't get in. Like ten minutes later my parents come home, ready to punch a man, and low and behold, there's no one there. Everything was locked, nothing was messed with. Besides me shaking and hysterically sobbing, there's nothing wrong in the house. So my parents go to my neighsbors, being that they're conjoined with our house, and ask them if they've seen anything and describe the man I saw. The mom just kinda like freezes up, so my mom tells me anyways, and just like quickly dismisses anything they say like "no,no I didn't, nosorry,bye"
Now, could never confirm this, but I'm at least 99 percent sure it was the old man who died next door- I mean old guy, stairs, it just makes sense right??

@secretroses yeeee alright <33 cant wait! cx

This story centers around a family of three, a son, a daughter, and a father, one night the power had gone out, and the family decided to spend the night together in the living room, the sister said, 'sense where all here together in the dark, wanna here a scary story?' the son & father replied yes. So the daughter began to tell her tell, it was a story about their mother who had disapeared years ago, some say she was a phantom, others say she never existed, was she even alive? in the middle of the story the son said, 'missing? but mother is always there, like right now' the son pointed behind the daughter.

The family looked in the direction the son pointed, and saw...

...
......
i have a writers block so mind my horrid writing.

anyways thats my story lol things died down after that, a half a year later we moved and I never saw the guy again- still lowkey freaks me outtho

@Cotton iKR THO LIKE THAT 1 EVENT STILL CAUSES ME STRESS AND ITS NOT LIKE HE ACTUALLYMDID ANYTHING it was just so freaky and straigh out of a horror film that I cant- I genuinely lOve scary movies/stories but when that junk is happening irl- ohboy thats just nothing I can handle calmly lmao

@milk-and-cookies omg ; - ; thats creepy- spook mom pls

@Vaigh omg yeah, no, you got a spooky ghost, my friend. I've noticed that most old lady's [at least my grandma was definitley this way] have a habit of being really an.al about the way their house is. Like my gma used to alwaYs push the chairs in, even if they were only an inch away from being pushed in. Change the temp to exactly 90 degrees, even if it was hot out. I mean, maybe thats what your ghosty gma is doing x'D bein picky about how her house is

@Cotton y'know I've always kinda wanted to witness a possesion x'D I mean it's terrifying, potentially harmful, and terrifying- but none of the possesions I've seen online or read about or in movies ever seem like real? like they always seem so staged- freak me out a little- but staged. I think maybe in person it would be a wAY different experience lol

oNE DAY- *Has nothing to say tt(^:*
Well
The only thing scary is that I always see a man in the hallway of my house at night
And when I close my door I see hands reaching through the door
My family says it just my anxiety bUT
I'm not too sure about that qwq

Once upon a time there was a man. The man was angry at the world but no one knew exactly why. One day the man for whatever reason decided to go on a stroll in the abandoned woods. A spoopy ghost was said to lurk in those woods and no one would dare enter normally. however this man did not seem to care. Deeper and deeper the man went as the forest surrounding him consumed most of the daylight. A figure in the shape of a woman slowly started to approach the man from behind. This was the spirit of the woods; The ghost of the woman who had died 10 years ago. The angry spirit drew closer and closer to the mans back as he walked but suddenly the man stopped. The man sat down where he was and began to mumble to himself. The spirit was confused. Why would this man come to this abandoned place just to talk to himself? The ghost noticed something in front of the man however. A grave stone with fancy writing on the front, but not just any grave stone but the gravestone of the ghost?

this man, who is he? Suddenly the man began to weep. His cries were meant for the moarning of the wife who had died in this very forrest. The wife he failed to save. As the man wept the spirit pressed against his back and wept as well. They wept until they could weep no more.
The End

I'M READY
Also
I hear footsteps when I see the guy so it's extra scarryyy
I see that he wears a fedora looolll

I have a couple of Ghost Stories!
So, when I was in 2nd grade, I often woke up while I was sleeping, and one time, I saw a woman come into my room. She gave me cookies, tucked me in, then left. For some reason, I wasn't afraid of her. A couple years later, I found out my room used to be a second kitchen where the owner's daycare kids would have a snack without having to go upstairs.
This next story was actually pretty recent. When I was sleeping, I heard my dogs collar ring and thought my dad was going to wake me up because my dog is sometimes with him. Then, I feel a hard pressure on my left and right shoulder, then my right hip. I look over, thinking my dad is there, but no one is there. I then look up to see two white dots looking down at me. I quickly went back to bed, and never saw it again. I don't know exactly what it was since I didn't see it for too long, but I think it was some kind of demon.

@dos //reads ouiji board oH NUHUH I MAY BE DUMB BUT LIKE I DRAW THE L I N E AT OUIJI BOARDS. I saw Paranormal Activity. I aint falling for that nuhuh.
Seriously I woulda left her there like u have fun lady buh-thefrick-bye. Why would she even do that?? wh y?

>also no omg i'm enjoying them! I wanna hear more absolutely yespls

@Animady omg thats creepy e - e) free cookies yay but like ghostie lady is nogoodlol
Also thaaat is super creepy bc I can practically hear /feel that?? like I know exACTLY what noise youre talking about and sleep paralysis-esque sistuations freaaak me out. That's just extra nope.

@Dos omg that story ; - ; rest in peace A. But seriosly though, if anYONE came up to me with a warning like that, I would frickin listen to them. Even if I felt they were messing with me- I'm supersticious enough to avoid whatever seems foreboding. With my luck tho I'd avoid that and be killed by somethimg else but still

There's also no reason for them to dislike you, you didn't cause it, you tried to stop it. They're prolly just pyshing their own guilt onto you - ^ -)
thank you for sharing dos tho omg you have some crazy experiences x - x)

ok I have another one
which is not so much of a story so much as it's just a really creepy thing

This was when my gpa had just passed away and we were living in my gma's house to take care of her. Like naturally you'd feel weird in a house that someone just died in, so that was normal, expected, and written off. But then every one of us [my mom, my dad, my brother, and my gma] all had a eerily similar dream where my gpa was with my dog, who had just as well passed away, and they were going through the house with us and kept saying "everythings ok. everythings ok. dont be sad. everythings ok." So we all woke up the next morning equally upset and weirded out. And ontop of the counter, where he usually kept his pills, were his medicines all laid out. Like the stuff he took while he was sick, that we had yet to throw out. All in a line, how he used to take them.
nothing happened after that, and we kinda shrugged it off as my gma being really upset and doing it w/o realizing but stilllol

it's sad how much my family and I just ignore spooky junk like xD in the end that's whats gonna get us
"oh hey there's a dead guy with a knife walking around the house muttering kill, kill, kill"
"lel prolly just your imagination- a shadow- your tv-etcetc- just ignore it, itll go away"
then we all die like that's how its gonna go x'D

@dos yeah they needa not lol you were just bein a decent human being > - > not your fault they didnt listen

also ye! i dont have very many stories of my own, so I love hearing em!

yeah xD hopefully nothing too bad tho dont want my child hurt u 0 u)/

@dos aha no it was super weird- didn't really feel real until we put the pills away like omg that actually just happened
it was oddly comforting tho too?? idk- just to hear him again to say it was ok, it was nice despite it being completely freaky xD

Every time I sit in my Eng 202 class, i always see a face peering in from the little window in the door, but then when I turn my head to look closer it's always gone D:
Maybe it's just my imagination but it's creeping me out x u x

Plus this campus is old as hell- they say this campus is very haunted, especially the dormitory close to mine- Whenever I wander in the halls I just get this feeling of d r e a d
It's the *worst*
