Scary and Eerie Tales

  I had longed for a vacation to a promised land where I would make memories and have fun. So I decided to go to Goa. It was my seventh time there. This time I was going alone. Finally! Dream come true!! So, I decided that this trip would be a relaxation trip and I would only chill, avoiding all other tourist spots. I was thrilled and I couldn’t wait.   On the day of my flight, something didn’t feel right. I had a feeling of uneasiness and somehow, something did not feel right. When I boarded my flight my pulse was crossing 150 and I was sweating. I was breathing heavily and I was scared. I couldn’t understand why all this was happening. I was confused and terrified. During that two-and-a-half-hour flight, all the voices around me were echoing and roaring. I couldn’t keep myself together. I tried to make myself calm by listening to some music and I even tried to sleep. Nothing helped, nothing made me sane. The moment my captain announced, “Good Evening, ladies and gentlemen, w...

  On many nights I like to admire my curly, shiny hair, before going to bed. I never liked combing my hair as my pretty, coils would get separated. But my mother always insisted that I should comb them every night. To which I replied, annoyingly, “Haan, Haan! I’ll comb them before sleeping, for sure!” We had adopted a pet cat named Moonlight. I was assigned the duty of cleaning her litter box. Her litter scoop was kept outside on the balcony. One night when I went out to bring her scoop, I saw a  golden ring there. I thought it was mine, I must’ve dropped it. I stepped forward and picked it up. The moment I picked it up I felt an extra weight on me, something forced itself upon me. I was confused and disoriented. I picked myself up, rigorously. I went inside and immediately the weight was lifted. As if I had just become conscience. The rest of the night passed away peacefully.  The next day my cat was running away from me. Whenever she was making eye contact, she would ru...

  ‘In the beautiful hills of Shimla, there is unknown darkness, gloom and sinfulness.’  A girl named Devi was a thirteen-year-old who studied in Loreto Convent, an all-girls school, in the year 1980. Devi was clever, friendly and a bully. She used to bully younger children and play pranks on them which were disturbing. Like locking them in the bathroom, scaring them by wearing a scary mask and many other types of tricks that led to profound perturbation in their minds. The whole school was scared of her and had to fulfil everything she wished for…. Loreto was famous for appointing Irish nuns as teachers. Those nuns were known to be extremely strict and no-nonsense. No one could speak a word in front of them. They were thought of as a nuisance because there was no friendly banter between the students. In short, they destroyed all the fun of school. They used to hit students with a wooden cane, make them stand on their desks for hours and harass them. Students used to shiver by ...

  Rebecca Johansson was the most famous polo player in London. She had a beautiful golden-brown horse named Prince and was very hard working. She had recently won a competition and was now going to Arizona. She had been very excited about that. She had to travel by sea on a cruise liner, because of Prince but had severe seasickness.   During travelling, she often used to come out of her luxurious cabin to vomit and breathe some fresh air. One day, she was talking to the captain of the ship and having a special dinner which included white wine, salmon, mackerel, caviar and for dessert a Victorian sponge. They were laughing at a joke when the captain hindered and said, “Jokes apart, do you know that most supernatural and paranormal beings lie near water and we are in the water!” “Let me tell you once, captain! I’VE NEVER BELIEVED IN SUCH IMBECILE THINGS AND I WILL NEVER.”   Rebecca replied, banging her hands on the table. Captain warned, “It’s your wish but remember, the w...

    Elizabeth had just had a miscarriage, and her husband, John was devastated as it was her third. After this, tired and helpless, they decided to go for adoption. They searched a lot and finally found an orphanage, ‘Dwelling for the Juvenile.’ The caretakers were old Irish nuns and young college students who were in search of some money. The orphanage was given a lot of donations and they had received copious awards. They went there on 16 th June 2016. Elizabeth got very emotional on seeing the children there. She was thinking, “I wish I could give birth to one of my kin. WHY?! Why does this cruel thing keep on happening to me!!?” She was on the ground floor.   At this moment John was on the top floor, descrying a very calm and unique young boy. He went towards him and sat just behind him silently. He was drawing something. That boy’s hearing was exceptional. “By the way; what are you doing here?” he said, giving a sly smile. John was shocked. He said, “Oh! I thou...

Once upon a time, there was a filthy rich couple, Elena and Mark. They wanted to shift to Los Angeles. They were in search of a palatial mansion with a huge garden because they wanted to start a family. After months and months of searching, they finally found an ideal home that was suitable to their ideas. It was a palatial residence with a massive garden, just as they wanted. In a week, they completely shifted to their royal palace. The structure was very old and rusty, but that’s what they liked about it. They then started making the house livable by installing some essential commodities. When they both were installing a clothes-line, Elena saw that the soil, present under the grass was merlot in colour. She was bemused by seeing that specific colour as she had never seen soil of that colour. At that time a neighbour was crossing the road. She asked him, “Excuse me, sir! Hi! We have just moved into this neighbourhood. Is the soil merlot…….” The moment she said the word ‘soil’ the ecc...

  Once upon a time in the 1880s, there was a king named Alvey. He was short-tempered and had numerous enemies. All the neighbouring countries were not on good terms with Alvey. Once a certain king threatened him and he was offended. After a lot of planning, he and his most important scientist made a deadly poison. They then dropped ten drops of that potion in the water tanks of the neighbouring countries. After a few days, the effect started appearing. Many people died and their graveyards were made separate for prevention of further spreading of the bizarre disease.  After a month or so the watchman of the graveyard witnessed something very peculiar, the graves were open and the coffins were empty and they neither had a skeleton nor a body. He immediately reported this to the king. The king didn't pay attention as he and his kingdom was going through troubled times. After two days the watchman was found brutally bitten and murdered. The public thought that it must’ve been any...
