I heard a voice behind me. I looked at the mirror and noone was there

I held my sons hand as I went to the police station. I begged them to find the rest of him as well.

The phone call- By Neon Aegina C2 Ellie Skouteri

 

Somewhere in Turkey, in an old village, there was a woman who lived there. She didn't have a family and she wasn't rich. However, she was happy.

One night, she woke up. She decided to drink some water, although she wasn't thirsty. Suddenly, the phone started ringing.Wondering who it could be at this time of night, she looked at the number. It was 000. She picked it up. "You are not here" said a voice. The woman, frightened, dropped the phone and it broke.

She wasn't sure what that meant, and she went to check if the door was locked. Suddenly, the voice started repeating itself: "You are not here." Louder and louder. The woman thought she had gone mad. she started screaming loudly. 

And then, someone knocked on the door. The woman tried to see who was on the door through the keyhole, but a hand didn't let her.

The woman heard some noises, a voice of a girl saying: Why did you knock? This house has been abandoned for years…". And a man saying: "I know. A woman died here. But then, who turned the light on?

Written with blood and imagination…

 

Luckily I wasn’t alone ZOE D2 NEON AEGINA

luckily I wasn't alone  

Three years ago,I decided with friend of mine to go  a house that they said was haunted. It was not far from my house,so we went on foot. We had brought water, torces and rope that my friend insited we take. As soon as we got there, we were both scared because we were all told that we would see a ghost and that we would hear different sounds.

When we got inside, everything was fine until the door closed abruptty. We were very scared but I said that it was the wind, but my friend told me after there was no wind.We started shouking.After 2-3 minutes, we calmed down and moved on. As we descended the stairs, a skeleton appeared and we were caled into a small room.When we turned on the torches, we saw bones upon many bones in front of us.The door was locked.We couldn't leave.

After minutes, it opened and we trie to leave, but to no avail. At some point, my friend felt that soeone had touchet her but she was not doing anything. At that moment, we were very very scared. We run and we went upstairs. The sounds we heard were getting louder. After a while, I saw that thare was a big window so I told my friend to step on a piece of  furmiture that it was there for us to jump from the windows. My friend was helding the rope in her hands in case we needed it, but we needed it anyway. After I jumped, my friend went to jump, but the bag fell on them, so she cought her with the rope and we left.

The next day, we learned that many people had been killed in this house and it had a strange energy. We never went there again.

Ghost Hunting by Teo D2 NEON Aegina

Once upon a time, there was an old man called James. James was into ghost hunting and really liked going to explore abandoned houses and explore them. But there was one specific time that James and one of his friends, Amanda, went to explore together……

They went in a dark long parking lot all alone, but because they were bored, they started doing a scary ritual that James had found on the internet. As they started the ritual, it was all going well but as they ended the ritual. things got scary, The radio started going off and nothing was making sense but when Amanda turned on her phone,  she dropped it and started crying and screaming. The radio was playing 'The devil is screaming', and she and James started praying.  At that moment, they heard a weird noise outside. It was a scary, bloody nun although there was no churches around. The nun screamed and started to break the window. James quickly started the car and left from there.

After that incident, James stopped ghost hunting and Amanda was scared for the rest of her life.

A good run

A Good Run


A snail crawled along a leaf of the bush. It was calm. Tom didn’t notice it. His breathing
was heavy, his heart thumping loudly. He listened to his surroundings: raindrops lazily falling
and splashing on the ground rhythmically, a crow taking flight and an alien screech that
pierced Tom’s ears which were tragically too familiar with the noise.


He' d been running for almost a minute straight, sprinting. Finally, that… woman, that
demon was out of sight as he hid behind a bush. But Tom could hear her, her freakish
screech. She was coming. He looked around knowing not what he was looking for. He found
nothing. He thought of running but where would he go? There was nowhere to run.
He shouldn’t have come to the forest as Eliza shouldn’t have. He shouldn’t have sought
out the witch and… What had he been thinking? How stupid was he? So many people lose
their wives, how many of them try to take… revenge?


The screech sounded again. That was it. He was dead. He’d stopped being mad at
himself. Though, he was still regretful. He regretted every little thing, every mistake, he
looked back at on them all. He had been a fool and an idiot, he concluded.
But there was some good too, right? Despite the circumstances, an optimistic voice came
from deep in somewhere. He’d married Eliza: that was one thing. He’d worked to win her
over, hadn’t he? And he’d made her happy. He’d shared many drinks with friends, told some
pretty funny jokes with them.


There were tons of things he hadn’t done. Things he’d wanted to do. But he’d been
happy. Up until the day Eliza decided to walk into the forbidden forest and be taken by the
witch. At least, he’d got to live, right? Some don’t get that opportunity.
Really, by the end, he’d had a good run.

While dreaming about it, a car pops out in front of him and suddenly, they are off the road, upside down. he cannot hear anything but the ambulance siren and his family's screams for help before he passes out.

David wakes up in a hospital bed. He souts for a nurse but no responce, so he calls for his wife and children but it's the same thing. he gets up and wanders around the hospital and searces around for people but he cannot find a single soul. Same thing with the rest of the city.

- Maybe there was an evacuation. He thinks to himself, trying to make sense of what is happening.

-Or maybe I am just dreaming. And saying that he pinches himself to make sure.

-Ouch! gess not. What's is going on? he said.

After that he thinks about his family.

- oh no! he shouts

He immediately runs to hi house hoping to find his family. He breaks in.

-Beth? Kids?. 

No response. He searches around the huse but still nothing. Then, he grabs the keys to this car and gos to his parent's house but it is also empty.

Days pass. The days become weeks and weeks become months.David is looking at photos of his family whilst sobbing, when he spots, at the corner of his eye, a silhouette of a human-like creature. 

-hello/ shouts david

This mysterious shadow runs off and david goes after it. Unfortunately he didn't catch up with it . Years pass and he has been seing it agaim multiple times. His food suplies are becoming scarce so he goes our to find more in a city close by. 

 

While driving that night, David is thinking of what that thing could possibly be. He comes to a conclusion that he is hallucinating since he hasn't need getting enough sleep for much time now. Suddenly the shadow jumps on his windshield screaming. Thes screams aren't normal, they sound like something mechanical but brocken. They crash into a tree, but fortunately David is still conscious and able to run, but the shadow catches up to him. As it is about to attack , he wakes up in a hospital again, similar to the one at the start of the whole thing. He looks around and spots his son reading in the chair infront of him. 

-John? he says.

His son looks up and shouts for his mom, and they all gather up around him.They seem a bit older.

-Beth?, kids? am I dreaming again? He says

One day in winter, I went in a playground with my friends. It was night and it was very cold ! We were speaking about school and suddenly, we heard a scary sound. One of my friends was scared but we told her not to be afraid. We continued to talk but then I saw a little girl. She was wearing a long white dress and she had dark black hair. I didn't say anything but the girl started coming towards us. We were very scared when the girl stood in front of us. She didn't speak. I said to my friends, "Run!" We were running but the little girl was following us. As we were running, we saw a TAXI and we all got in except the little girl. We went to my house and we slept.

The next morning, I started to speak about the last night but my friends told me nothing like that had happend so it was a nightmare.

halloween story by vasiliki chrysochoou

I'm watching you!

My name is Nora and I'm going to tell you a bit about my life. I'm married to James and have two daughters; Jessica and Brooke.

A few years ago, we decided to move to the suburbs and start a new life. The house was wanted by many potential buyers, but we were lucky to get it, as the seller was an old friend.

It seemed that we were adapting pretty quickly. This was until the third day of setting in, when we received our first letter talking about someone watching us and wanting young blood. The police told us to hire a private detective, and that's what we did.

Her name was Naomi. She advised us to install cameras and a security system, and we did so, However, we were still receiving those letters.

Naomi met up with the previous owner. He told het that he had been receiving those same letters when he was living there. A few days after that, a person called John Graff came to our house and pretended to be a supervisor. He mentioned seeing Jessica hanging out with a boy who was years older than her. He also told me that his daughter used to do the same thing, and that I should fix it by going to church. A day later, I met with Naomi. She seemed to have found a case of a man called John, living in the same house as us a few years earlier. He killed all of the members of the family and cut his face out of every picture, so he wouldn't be recognisable. I told Naomi about the interaction I'd had, and she said that was impossible as he had disappeared more than ten years ago.

I was going crazy as I couldn't find out who was responsible for this and we were still receiving those letters! Meanwhile, Naomi was fighting cancer, however and the last few days had been worse for her, so, she had to go to the hospital. My husband and I went to see her. She explained to us that she had been the watcher all this time and she'd pretended to be a detective since she needed the money. 

A few days later, she died. We attended her funeral and talked with her daughter. We told her about what she had done to us. She told us that before Naomi died, she'd told her the truth. This was that she hadn't been the watcher but just wanted to give us the pleasure of knowing who had been responsible for it, as we would never be able to find the actual watcher and it would have driven us crazy. The watcher case still remains unsolved.
