Scary Ghost Story Novels & Stories

Belle choked on her tears and spoke like a frightened child, "I'm scared. I… I just saw ghosts… There are ghosts here!" "There are no ghosts! You're just frightened." "I saw them! They were in the room with me! They came in from the windows. They were about to drag me down to hell with them … There was also a woman crying … My heart hurts. It hurts so much." Grayson continued consoling her, "Open your eyes. It's safe here. There are no ghosts anymore."

In the corner of the room, a candlestick flickers, casting ominous shadows. A sudden gust of wind blows open a door, revealing a long and empty hallway shrouded in darkness. The atmosphere is heavy with fear and dread, and it seems as though the house itself is straight out of a scary movie. “Oh my God, oh my God!" I mutter, clutching Demetrius's hands really tight. As we keep walking through the haunted house, something suddenly pops up from the ceiling, and I literally scream my throat out. “Ahh!!!!" I yell, shutting my eyes tightly. “Ghost! Ghost! Someone help me!!"

When I turned back around, I noticed a new note pinned to the table. It was the same familiar handwriting, but the strokes seemed to carry a hint of chill this time. "Squanderer." I froze, then started laughing out loud. So this ghost couldn't just cook—she was also a thrifty, budget-conscious woman. I liked that. I immediately grabbed a pen and wrote back, "Sorry, Ivy. I was just joking. From now on, let's stick to regular dishes. I won't bring up such ridiculous things anymore." I made sure to apologize sincerely.

I had no choice, so I dug through every gift Zoe had ever given me, but I found nothing. Just when I was about to give up, I shook a pillow, and a tiny paper figure floated out. Its face was drawn to resemble Lucas, and his birth details were written on the back! The fortune teller exclaimed, “That’s it! The lock and the paper figure work together, and since you've touched the lock, the effect on you is stronger. Luckily, you found it early.” I broke out in a cold sweat. That same day, I slipped the paper figure under Miles’ pillow and instructed my parents to watch him while he slept.

My skin prickles, my nerves strung tight as if my body knows something my mind doesn’t want to acknowledge. It has to be a ghost. That’s the only explanation my panicked brain can come up with. The way the shadows shift, the way the silence feels alive—it’s exactly like every horror story I’ve ever heard. I try to tell myself that ghosts aren’t real, but at this moment, I almost believe they are. And then I hear it. And then— A soft sniffing sound. Oh good, maybe it’s a lost puppy. Or, you know, a demon. Anything is possible at this point.

But the Blood Moon blood in me kept me calm like a deadly tsunami in face of a life threatening situation, and I decided to stay calm and get more info first. Then, panic later. So I swallowed to muster a casual tone. “As in a ghost sighting?” My best friend nodded, grimacing at the sorry piece of filet dangling from her fork. “Some grad stud heard strange noises. But he swore he was alone because there were no lab sessions that time.” I was breathing again, smiling and shaking my head as though it was some silly story, until Eva leaned in and lowered her voice to add secretly. “But I think he wasn’t alone.”

They were on the last train for the day, and it was also a rush hour,the two of them were crammed up against the window there. Gianna looked out the window, and suddenly, for a split second, her eyes glazed over! Scott's head was right in front of her, and she moved his head out of the way, desperately looking out. Scott murmured."What is it?" Gianna's face was horrified, "I think I just saw a ghost!" Scott frowned: "Are you kidding me?There's no such thing as ghosts." But Gianna was sure of what she saw. She saw someone who was supposed to be dead.

As instinct I first assumed it was coming from outside but very next second I realized that this barging was coming from inside this room and to be more specific from behind me…. I split second I turned around and what I saw in front of my eyes brought out the most scariest scream I had ever gave out “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………………………………………………………………….” I screamed so loudly that my own ears started to hurt as I took as step back and squashed my body on metal door behind me….. I knew I could not pass through metal door like some magic but yet I tried and prayed for you because what my eyes were witnessing were the GHOST……………..

She immediately felt a shiver down her spine and urged Sonia to quickly run away, fearing that the ghost in the red dress would appear and chase them. They didn’t stop running until they reached an area where a servant was standing, watering the plants. Ivy patted her chest and gasped, "Ooh! I‘m so scared! That was too scary!" "Is that story even true? I think stories about ghosts are just made up." Sonia wasn’t really scared. She was the type to purely believe in science, therefore she didn’t believe in the existence of supernatural beings.

The weird noise happened coincidentally when they were highly strung, so it made them hold their breaths at once! A girl screamed out aloud and dived straight into the arms of the man next to her while trembling in fear. Gary was stunned as well. He had just made up a story earlier to scare these girls on purpose so that they would fling themselves into his arms. He did not expect that something would actually happen here. “Oh, God, did you hear that? There was a noise!” “What should we do? There can’t be ghosts for real, right?” The noise did not stop, and they could even hear the sound of someone gasping for breath indistinctly.
