When I heard the sound of crows cawing in the distance and felt the cold air against my skin, I knew I did not want to be in that cemetery. I was deep in the walls of the Emerald Forest Cemetery, when I saw a weird house. It was Halloween night, and I had already run into a lot of problems. Let me catch you up. You see what happened was that I was going trick or treating with my younger brother and dressed up to trick or treat, we stepped out of the house. The air had smelled of delicious candy. It was cold, even for the end of October, it felt as if all the heat had been drained away into the earth. Thinking nothing about it and chattering excitably, we made our way down the sidewalk, when one lamppost went out. Then two blinked out, then three, until the only light in the entire street was the gentle yellow flicker from within the garish jack-o-lanterns and the one at the Emerald Forest Cemetery. We looked at the jack-o-lantern next to us. There was a black cat on it. The black cat had glowing eyes and was sitting on the large orange pumpkin which was surrounded by dead yellow sunflowers. It smelled of foul odors and fish. The cat had made a horrible noise, but I payed no attention to it. Then we looked over at the Emerald Forest Cemetery. There were a lot of rumors about that cemetery, the most famous of them about a boy that went in there and never came back. No kid ever went into Emerald Forest Cemetery. Forgetting about candy entirely we stood with bemused
And all of a sudden we hear the high winds screeching creepily from outside our house, the branches were loudly scratching and scraping against the house loudly. As I looked around I got more and more freaked out. There were boxes everywhere creating shadows from our flashlight and creating darkness that the flashlight couldn't fill. My entire family was scared, as scared as a chipmunk would be if a lion was in it’s tree. My Dad was searching for something in a sea of darkness, my mom trying to comfort my now crying siblings with a horrifying worried look on her face and me thinking to myself, When will it be done, what damage will it do and Oh No. As I thought I heard something crack from outside of my house, and then
It was just a normal day like any other I was walking down my street and a group of us wanted to go camping, we got all our gear ready and went on, the first night was a little spooky, we were hearing strange sounds in the bushes near our campsite. In the morning we went to go see what was in the bushes nothing but unknown footprints.We were all debating on what the creature was, so the second night came by and then we heard the noise again all but Dave went outside the tents to see what was making that sound, we started shining flashlights until we heard a fast running sound away, all of were spooked out, in the morning we found out that Dave was not in his tent, we all thought he went to the bathroom but for a couple hours he still was not back.(153)
The stars were gleaming in the night sky. Emily, Luke and Tim were eating cold tomato soup in the living area. It was horrid. The groundskeeper began to speak abruptly. “Now, I’m gonna tell you about an incident that happened right here in this building about 8 years ago. Kids just like you were sent here. It was night fall, and the atmosphere was eerie and uncalm. Something was about to go down. Something big! So, as I was saying, every child was heading off to bed when there was harsh sounding scream that came from upstairs. And then there was another after that. A girl and boy had been slaughtered. I looked up towards the staircase and saw a dark black figure with fiery red eyes. For one moment, the hideous looking creature was there, staring at me. The next, vanished!”
The sun had just turned but I knew I needed to keep on running and finish my jog. As the trees formed around me, I saw something flash into the woods, I swear it was a person. Nevertheless I kept on going at a faster pace, this place could be scary at night! Halfway down the track, the sun had just disappeared when I heard a scream. I ran even faster knowing there was something bad going on. Just before my eyes fell a body with a cut in the throat. I also screamed myself, then sprinted out of the woods up the road and straight to the police office. It was closing time and the door was locked so I banged on it furiously with my fists. Thinking back now that was probably not a smart thing to do, but I had just seen a dead body. An old lady opened
It was dark which made the haunted house setting just perfect. Outside of the entrance was a man in a scary pig mask with a blood splattered apron and in his hand was a shovel. I was so convincing that the man was a statue because of how still and how little noises he made. As people walked by he would step toward them and slam the shovel to the ground, and then step back into place. As my family and I walked by I was aware of his routine and wasn’t scared, but my brother almost peed on himself as we walked by to pay for the haunted house. As we got our money out to pay, my little brother and cousin had a tranchrium and started crying, because they didn't want to go in. The rest of us just discarded them as if we didn't know the and proceed into the haunted house. To get to where you start in the haunted house you had to go up some stairs, there was the manager told us we only had 10 minutes to get through the haunted maze. He started the timer and we went through the maze in less than 3 minutes. As we went through the maze we huddled together like penguins. My little cousins fell in the course of the maze, the rest of us didn't realize it until we heard their loud crying. Us being us ignored them and went through the rest of the maze. They came of a few minutes after us with their shirts complete wet from wiping tears. Everyone was laughing so hard, that made our night. We figured that was enough for one night and headed back to the

The sun is high above me and I walk into the forest in front of me,
You can hear the crunching of the gravel under Nelson’s black combat boots as he walked towards the old, tall, rusty metal fence that are blocking the woods from the outside world. “Beep, beep!” he turned around and saw an old, black Jeep pull up on the loose gravel road, with the dirt temporarily staining the shiny black paint. When Peggie hopped out of her car, Nelson fell into relaxation, she is the only person in the world that knows where to find Nelson in a matter of minutes, but this time he had her stumped, her heart was racing when she witnessed him facing the deep, dark woods.
The eerie wood, where we entered, was a bit scary to me. It was an umber-brown, aged forest covered by a damp, cheerless atmosphere. The air was cold and every breath I breathe out resembled smoke. In fact, it was a foggy night. The source of light could
It was a dark stormy night and myself and some friends decided to pay a visit at the Logan Park cemetery. A good friend of ours passed away in a brutal car accident earlier in the year. While being at the cemetery we had variety different emotions and thoughts expressed. All of a sudden, the wind picked up, leaves we’re falling of the trees, and the ground started to shake. Next we heard strange noise coming up behind us, and then boom! Lamarion was stroked in the head! No one was around. Lamarion and I decided to quickly get away, until we discovered zombies.
On the night of October 31st, 2015 my brother and I rode with my mom to the store. We were what she called her "chicle", we always followed behind her and she literally went nowhere without us. My mom had let us have a Halloween party and as the night went on children started to go home and adults began to arrive. As adults arrived they wanted drinks and as my mom is the host she is to provide them. As we drove to the store everything was going fine, as she begins to turn into the parking lot of the store all the sudden boom, and our night just
It was a chilly day and me and my fellow classmates ran acrossed the busy street toward the small hidden cemetery. As we crossed the street I glanced around curiously, searching for the cemetery I wondered where it was. As we got closer i saw the little sign that had the cemetery's name carved into it, coated with a faded green paint. Covered in leaves and leaves we fought up the steep path toward the opening in the thick brush. The branches hit my arms and my face, some in which had thorns, like tiny soldiers with swords. We finally reached the top and started to get to work. Groups were assigned and we split up to work on different parts of the cemetery. After 3 hours of hard work we finally finished and we all admired our work and I felt a special feeling of accomplishment
It was Friday morning the day before Halloween. When I woke up I could smell bacon and eggs all the way for the kitchen. Momma said” eat up we are moving in to the house today”. So I sat on the couch and watched the news and huge text popped up saying” WARRING DO NOT GO OUTSIDETHE MASKED MAN AKA ARRON GOT OUT GOT PRISON” it repeated” WARRING DO NOT GO OUT SIDE ARRON HAS GOT OUT THERE WILL BE NO HALLOWEEN”. I didn’t think to tell momma that because I forgot about it.
Everyday as I walked to the library I would always cut through a patch of abandoned buildings that were seemingly gloomy and creepy to a stranger, especially towards the end of the day but to me they were just regular old buildings since I had passed through them so many times. As I walked through the buildings with a
In the cold, dark and mysterious forest is where she lived. Vanessa is teenage whose summer is almost ending. She is an only child and her father is always somewhere out of the Country for work purposes. “Mom, when is dad coming home from France it has been like forever.” Her mother is a stay home mom who loves baking when Vanessa is at school or work. “He should be coming home in about a week or two.””She was a girl who liked adventure and exploring but she never got to go past the fence in her backyard which is mostly a forest. Today was a great day for exploring. She decided that it had been a long time since she has gone into the forest. But when she headed out to she forgot to get her adventure bag. She got the adventure bag from her dad on her tenth birthday. It contains a flashlight, water bottle, compass, a blanket, and two granola bars if she get lost or is hungry and thirsty. She decided to go on without it because her mother might ask questions and tell her to stay inside because it’s cold and almost time for dinner. When she reached the fence she found a narrow path which was hidden behind these two redwood trees. She took the path hoping to find something neat or interesting and indeed she did. In the distance she saw a small lake in the distance.
