supermode Posted October 27, 2025 #26 Posted October 27, 2025 Mikey and the Pumpkin Light On Halloween night, eleven-year-old Mikey dared to visit the old house on Maple Street. Everyone said the βCrow Ladyβ lived there, but he didnβt believe it. He knocked. No answer β only the pumpkins around him flickering one by one until only the one on the porch still glowed, pulsing like a heartbeat. Then the door creaked open. An old woman smiled and handed him a silver pumpkin-shaped amulet. βYou were brave enough to come,β she said. βKeep this β courage shines brighter than fear.β Every Halloween after that, the pumpkins on Maple Street lit up when Mikey passed by. π Β ID: supermode Szechuan1 1

The whole family had gathered; the air was fresh and clean, and laughter echoed all around the fields. We spent the day playing with the animals, chasing each other, playing hide and seek β wild little kids no adult could stop. But when night fellβ¦ everything changed. We lit a big fire and sat around it, warming ourselves, telling scary stories. Then my oldest cousin suddenly said in a daring tone: Β βWhoβs brave enough to come with me to the shack... to look for the ghost?β We froze. Oh Godβ¦ the shack? My grandfatherβs old shack β built more than ten years ago, standing alone at the far end of the farm. No one had entered it for ages. The bricks were crumbling, the roof looked ready to collapse, and doves had made it their home. The idea was terrifying, but those words β βwhoβs brave?β β worked like a spell. If you said no, youβd be called a coward for years. I was terrified, but I pretended to be excited. βIβm in! Iβm not afraid of anything. If the ghost shows up, Iβll punch it in the face!β I was talking, but inside I just wanted to run back to my mother and sit quietly beside her like a scared little child. But no β I had to act like a man. I couldnβt let them see my fear. Everyone agreed to go, even though I could tell they were just as scared as I was. We walked down the narrow path lit only by the full moon. One of my cousins raised his arms and started singing, Β βHey ghost, hey ghost, weβre coming for you!β The others joined him, laughing and dancing toward the shack. I hesitated for a secondβ¦ then followed. We were just a few meters away when we saw itΒ a dark shadow, tall, featureless, standing at the shackβs window. It lifted its armsβ¦ copying our movements exactly. We froze. No one spoke. Then, all at once, we screamed and ran. Halfway back, my oldest cousin yelled, Β βStop! Itβs just our shadow, you idiots!β We stopped, breathing hardΒ but then came a scream. And strangest of all, each of us heard someone calling our name. Thatβs when we realizedΒ shadows donβt fall on empty windows. We ran faster than ever, straight to the house, not daring to look back. That night was the scariest of our lives. And the next morning, the adults told us the shack was haunted β no one ever goes near it. The lesson? Never play with the other worldβ¦ because itβs real.

Kids said it carried voices soft, calling your name if you listened too long. Mara never believed it, until last October 31st. She followed the sound through the mist, her pumpkin lantern glowing faint orange. The deeper she went, the quieter everything became, until she saw it another lantern, flickering in the distance. It swayed gently, held by someone just out of sight. βHello?β she called. No answer. Only the soft crunch of footsteps circling her. When the fog lifted the next morning, they found her lantern on the bridge still warm, still glowing.

Fabienf Posted October 27, 2025 #33 Posted October 27, 2025 The Night of the Broken Mirror The October wind howled through the bare trees, stirring up blood-colored leaves around the old Delmare manor. No one had dared approach it since the family who lived there disappeared one Halloween night, fifty years earlier. That night, however, three teenagersβLΓ©a, Tom, and Hugoβdecided to go inside. "Just to see if there really is a ghost," Hugo said, laughing nervously. As soon as they crossed the threshold, the cold fell upon them like an icy hand. The candles lit on the mantelpiece didn't seem to have aged a day. On the living room wall hung a huge, cracked mirror, blackened by time. "It looks like it's moving," LΓ©a murmured. Indeed, behind their reflection, a shadow stood motionless. Tom approached, his lamp trembling in his hand. The shadow mimicked his gesture. Then, suddenly, his reflection didn't lift the lampβhe let his head fall, slowly, as if it had just detached itself. A crash. The mirror vibrated. A crack widened, and an icy blast filled the room. "Get out of there!" Hugo shouted, but LΓ©a remained frozen. Her reflection, however, smiled. The light went out. All that could be heard was the ticking of an old clock. When it came back on, there was only an intact mirror... reflecting three teenagers standing there, smiling. In the morning, the manor seemed peaceful. On the wall, the mirror had cracked again. But those who approached it swore they saw, in the tarnished windowpane, three silhouettes knocking, soundless, on the other side of the glass. And ever since that Halloween night, when the wind blows through the woods, we think we can hear their muffled laughter - as if they were inviting the living to come and play, too, in the mirror. π» fabienfΒ Szechuan1 1
mrmoneyjaco Posted October 27, 2025 #34 Posted October 27, 2025 The fog in Stakeworld never lifted; it only thickened, curling around the iron stakes that jutted from every lawn like rusted teeth. Each stake was a grave marker for a child who had vanished on Halloween night, and every year the town added one more. The newest stood in front of the old mill, driven deep the morning after little Marisol disappeared. No one spoke of the pattern. They simply hung paper bats from the stakes and called it decoration.Eddie lived beneath the millβs waterwheel, in a crawlspace that smelled of wet stone and pennies. He had no reflection, no heartbeat, only the memory of a scream that had never quite ended. Once, long ago, he had been a boy who loved candy corn and ghost stories. Now he was the story.On the thirty-first, the children came. They always did, drawn by the dare scrawled on the mill door in charcoal: RING THE BELL AND RUN. The bell was a rusted cowbell nailed to a beam. When struck, it gave a single, sour note that echoed down the river and back again, as if the water itself were answering.This year the first to arrive was Juno, thirteen and fearless, pockets full of stolen fireworks. She rang the bell three timesβonce for luck, once for spite, once because her friends were watching. The note hung in the air like a held breath. Then the fog parted and Eddie stepped out.He wore a burlap mask stitched with button eyes, one black, one milky. His coat was a patchwork of Halloween costumes past: a pirateβs sash, a witchβs velvet, a vampireβs plastic fangs melted into the collar. In his left hand he carried a pillowcase printed with smiling pumpkins. It bulged, but not with candy.βTrick or treat,β he said. His voice was the sound of dry leaves scraped across pavement.Junoβs friends scattered. She stayed, because running felt like losing. Eddie tilted his head. βYou rang three times. That means three choices.βHe opened the pillowcase. Inside lay three objects: a candy corn kernel the size of a tooth, a plastic jack-oβ-lantern ring that glowed faint green, and a single iron nail still wet with river water.βPick one,β Eddie whispered. βBut know what it costs.βJuno hesitated. The candy corn smelled like her grandmotherβs kitchen the night before everything went wrong. The ring pulsed like a second heartbeat. The nail was cold enough to burn.Behind her, the stakes creaked in the wind. One of themβMarisolβsβleaned forward as if listening.Juno reached for the nail.Eddieβs button eyes widened. βBrave,β he said, almost proud. He pressed the nail into her palm. It slid through skin and bone without resistance, pinning her hand to the mill door. Blood dripped onto the threshold, sizzling where it touched the charcoal dare.The fog rushed in, thick as wool. When it cleared, Juno was gone. The newest stake stood in front of the mill, driven deep. A single candy corn kernel lay at its base, already sprouting tiny white roots. Eddie returned to his crawlspace. He hung the pillowcase on a hook beside the othersβdozens of them, each printed with a different yearβs mascot. He sat in the dark and waited for next Halloween, when the bell would ring again.In Stakeworld, the treats were memories. The tricks were stakes. And Eddie, patient as rust, collected both.

sylomex Posted October 27, 2025 #40 Posted October 27, 2025 It was Halloween night, and I decided to take a shortcut through the old cemetery on my way home from a party. The fog clung to the tombstones like ghostly fingers, and the distant laughter of trick-or-treaters faded into an unnatural silence. I felt a chill, not from the wind, but from the sensation of eyes watching me from the shadows. As I hurried past a weathered grave, I heard itβa soft whisper, like dry leaves rustling my name: "Come closer." I froze, heart pounding, telling myself it was just the wind. But then, from the corner of my eye, I saw her: a figure in a tattered white dress, her face pale as bone, drifting toward me with hollow eyes that locked onto mine. I ran, branches whipping my face, but the whispers multiplied, echoing from every grave: "Stay with us." Tripping over a root, I fell hard, and when I looked up, she was thereβkneeling inches away, her cold hand brushing my cheek. Her breath smelled of earth and decay as she murmured, "You've been missed." I scrambled away, bursting onto the street, but as I glanced back, the cemetery gate swung shut on its own. That night, I bolted every lock, but in the mirror, I swear I saw her reflection smiling behind mine. And sometimes, when the fog rolls in, I still hear her calling me home. Szechuan1 1

They called it: The Night of the Ashen Wings. Legend said the veil between the living and the dead thinnedβ¦ and ancient dragons long turned to dust rose again β fueled by fire and vengeance. Deep within the ruins of Harrenhal, a lone dragon egg had begun to glow. Not with warmthβ¦ but with freezing, ghostly light. Princess Aerela Targaryen, fierce rider of the ruby-scaled dragon Pyraxis, felt the tug in her blood β the ancient dragon call. The air tasted like smoke and secrets. When midnight struck, the ground split open. The ruined castle trembled. And from the earth crawled a creature of legend: A dragon with bones like black iron and a heart filled with cold fire β Vyrak the Deathwing, the king of the forgotten dead. His roar shattered the moonlit silence. Candles across the land blew out at once. A cold wind swept through villages, stealing the warmth from every hearth. His wings unfurled β massive, ragged, dripping shadow like ink. Each beat turned pumpkins to ash and cider to ice. Vyrak hissed: > βA new age begins. Dragons of the living shall burnβ¦ and join my army.β Aerela mounted Pyraxis and took to the sky. Fire met frost as their flames clashed β one burning bright ruby red, the other a ghastly ghost-blue that devoured everything it touched. Sparks rained like falling stars. Villagers watched from afar, trembling in fear and awe. Locked in the night sky, the two dragons spiraled toward the shattered moonlight. Their roars echoed like thunderclaps. Pyraxis bit down on Vyrakβs skeletal neck β but the dead do not bleed. The ghost dragonβs tail struck Pyraxis hard β sending them crashing atop the castle. Aerela, bruised yet unbroken, stood before the enormous skull face of Vyrak. She spoke not as a warriorβ¦ but as a Targaryen β a daughter of dragons. βWe honor the past,β she said, βbut we do not belong to it.β Her voice was ancient fire itself. She plunged her sword β forged in dragonflame β into the cursed egg that fueled Vyrakβs power. A scream like a thousand thunderstorms erupted. Vyrak froze. Cracked. Shattered into ashen dust that blew into the night, lost forever. Pyraxis rose, wounded yet victorious, flames glimmering like stars across his scales. The villagers cheered. But Aerela stared at the ashes drifting awayβ¦ Because in those ashesβ¦ she heard a whisper: > βThe dead do not sleep.

Eleven-year-old Leo and his little sister, Lily, were determined to get one last house before going home. Their final stop was 404 Willow Lane, a pale grey house that was perfectly neat and seemed to absorb all sound. Lily hesitated on the porch. A strange, swirling light, like a thousand candles burning underwater, flickered from the front window. When she rang the bell, it gave a soft, ominous chime. The door opened to a man so old he looked like carved wood. His wide eyes held the same watery light. He didnβt offer candy, only a question. βI collect something far more valuable than chocolate,β he rasped, looking at Lilyβs overstuffed pumpkin. βThe leftover lightβthe last, frantic shimmer of the nightβs excitement that clings to your bucket. I will trade you a sweet you will never forget for that glimmer of joy.β Leo felt immediate dread. βWeβre good, thanks,β he muttered, trying to pull Lily away, but the man was faster. He passed his hand, palm down, an inch above the rim of the pumpkin. Lily gasped. Her vibrant, joyful orange bucket instantly turned dull. The plastic seemed to droop, and the happy energy that made the candy rattle went silent. The manβs eyes flickered, becoming momentarily brighter. He reached into his pocket and placed a small, heavy piece of grey stone into Lilyβs palm. It was carved faintly into the shape of a candy corn and was profoundly cold. βUntil next year,β the man murmured, and the door clicked shut. Lily dropped the stone. βI justβ¦ feel tired.β As they hurried away, Leo looked back. The window light at 404 Willow Lane was now a blinding, impossibly vivid white, radiating a stolen joy.

roldenro Posted October 27, 2025 #49 Posted October 27, 2025 So this happened with one of my uncles, who shared this story with us and threw us into intense fear. Back in the '90s, he went out of town for a business meeting, needing to spend four nights at a certain town motel provided by his company. He described the motel as being located in a hilly and tranquil place, with no sounds of birds or any other animals. It was a disturbingly quiet place, where he could only see a few motel workers. When he got into his room, one of the workers told him that all electricity would go off after 10:00 PM, so all services would stop, and nobody was allowed to leave their room after that time. This struck my uncle as odd because he traveled a lot for business but had never encountered such a rule. He shook off the thought, wanting to just spend his four nights there. After finishing his work, a cab drove him back to the motel. Throughout that drive, my uncle decided to ask the cab driver about the motel, but the driver said it wasn't a season when people usually came to that place. That answer didnβt satisfy my uncle, but he thanked the cab driver went inside the motel, had dinner, and went to bed around 9:15 or 9:20 PM. The place was quite cool, and eventually, he fell asleep. After 30 or 45 minutes, the electricity went off. He woke up and checked the time on his phone: it was 10:00 PM. He rolled over in bed and stared at the ceiling. Realizing that the building was quite old and dusky, another thing caught his attention: FOOTSTEPS! He sensed someone walking in the corridor. He decided to check, but then he remembered that the workers were also not allowed to go out after 10:00 PM. Confused and frightened, he decided to peek through the doorβs peephole. At first, he saw nothing, but after some time in the dim moonlight, he saw a LITTLE GIRL. She was wearing a white frock, her hair covering her face, so he couldnβt see her features. Terrified, he went back to bed, wrapped himself in a blanket, and started praying. Eventually, he fell asleep and woke up the next morning. Once he felt fresh enough, he went to the lobby for breakfast. While eating, he decided to share his experience with one of the workers. He called out to one of them and narrated everything that had happened the previous night. The worker looked at him and said, βWe all know this is not new to us. Just don't interrupt her; this place belongs to her.β That worker left him with many questions. Then the cab beeped, disturbing his thoughts. He finished his breakfast and rushed toward the cab. While working, he couldn't stop thinking about that little girl: βWhat exactly happened to her? How did she end up here? How does she belong to this place?β After finishing his work, the cab dropped him off at the motel. He had dinner, then went to his room, casually lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. Again, PUFFFFFFβ¦ the electricity went off. He eagerly waited for the sound of footsteps and, after some moments, heard them. He rushed to the door and peeked through the peephole. Once more, he saw the same little girl walking in the corridor, but this time he was not scared; he was curious about her. The next day, he was waiting to see the girl again. After coming back to the motel, he had dinner and went to bed, waiting for 10:00 PM. As soon as the electricity went off, he ran to the door and started peeking through the peephole. He saw nothing! As he continued looking, he heard a knock on the ceiling. He looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly he heard a running sound in the corridor. He rushed to the door and, to his amazement, saw a dark red patchβnothing else. Confused, he looked again, and it was still the same bloody red patch. He thought it might be a bug or something stuck to the peephole from outside, and feeling disappointed, he went to sleep. The next day, he decided to tell the workers to clean the door before going to work. After coming back to the motel, he first checked with that worker to see if he had cleaned the door and thanked him. When the electricity went off, he waited for the footsteps and, as soon as he heard them again, he saw that same dark bloody red patch! Confused and irritated, he went back to bed, annoyed that it was his last night at that creepy motel and he hadnβt been able to see the girl again. The next day, he woke up, packed his stuff, and went for breakfast. While having breakfast, he called over one of the workers, tipped him a good amount of money, and asked about the little girl. The worker initially looked furious, but as he began to speak, the atmosphere grew tense and horrifically intense for my uncle. He stared at the worker, who also looked a little afraid. Hearing the cab honk, he rushed toward it, settling into the cab. As he left, he finally looked back at the motel and apologized. The worker told him that a family had lived there for several years as workers too, and they had a little girl named Judy. She helped her parents in their work and was a kind person who never complained. Everyone loved being around Judy. One day, while playing in the kitchen, her mom was cooking pasta. She put the water to boil and went outside to do some other work. While sweeping the floor, she heard Judy scream from the kitchen. Rushing toward the kitchen, she found Judy lying on the floor, unconscious. Her face was burned, and her eyes were bleeding. She had accidentally dropped boiling water and some utensils on her face, causing severe injuries. Tragically, she passed away that day but never left that place, calling the motel her home. Since then, every night after 10:00 PM, she visited the motel and didnβt like it if someone interrupted her. As the worker finished the backstory of that girl, my uncle realized why he had seen a bloody dark red patch those two nightsβ¦ He understood that by watching her without her permission, she was watching him without his permission.

Ravi4909 Posted October 27, 2025 #50 Posted October 27, 2025 Son don't want to stay with mother??? Β Β When Mia returned to her late motherβs house, the air felt wrong. The place smelled of mildew and memories, a heavy mixture that made her ten-year-old son Daniel cling closer. With her mother gone for two months, the will required Mia to stay one night in the house before selling it. Easy, she thoughtβuntil night fell.The old grandfather clock struck nine, and Daniel asked about the whispers. Mia froze. The house was silent except for the wind scraping the windows. She brushed it off as his imagination, but the boyβs wide eyes said otherwise.As Mia tucked him into the faded bed that once was hers, she saw the closet door, slightly ajar. She shut it, but when she turned back, Daniel was sitting upright. He whispered, βGrandma says you shouldnβt close it.βMiaβs breath caught. βDaniel,β she said carefully, βGrandmaβs gone.βHe shook his head. βShe said she never left.βAn icy draft slithered from the closet, bringing with it the faint aroma of liliesβthe same flowers from her motherβs funeral. Mia tried to rationalize it until she heard a soft humming, a lullaby she hadnβt heard since childhood. She turned, but Daniel wasnβt humming. He was staring at the door.The lullaby grew louder, warped, a twisted echo from behind the wood. With trembling hands, Mia opened the closet. Inside was nothing but darkness. Then, from within, a frail, translucent hand reached out.Mia stumbled backward, pulling Daniel into her arms. The shape that emerged wasnβt a ghostly strangerβit was her mother, or what was left of her. Her eyes were hollow, her mouth bent in a wide, broken smile.βYou left me here,β the apparition hissed. βYou let them bury me cold.βMia sobbed, βI didnβt know, I couldnβtββHer motherβs figure twitched closer, the sound of cracking bones echoing in the confined room. Daniel clung to her, whispering, βShe wants you to stay, Mommy.βThe lights flickered out. The room fell into absolute dark. And then, the singing came again, but this time it was Daniel who hummed it, perfectly in tune.When morning came, the realtor found the house empty. Two cups of tea sat on the table, steam curling faintly from one. Miaβs car was still in the driveway, but inside the house, only a childβs laughter echoed from somewhere deep within the walls.They never found them, though neighbors still swear they see shadows moving behind the upstairs windowβone tall, one smallβsometimes whispering, sometimes watching. And when the wind is just right, a womanβs lullaby floats down Black Hollow Road, carrying the words of a mother who never learned to let go. Szechuan1 1
