Scary and Eerie Tales

  ‘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 ...

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...

Our trip to Ladakh was impulsive and without any prior planning. John, Steve, Sara, Maria and me that is Mary, went on a bike-trip to Leh in Ladakh. We were hoping to have a lot of fun, but rather we came back with an uncanny experience. This incident is engraved on our hearts forever……   We all knew how to ride bikes. We were super excited about this trip and when it got late we would just stop for the day and resume the next morning. Due to the high altitude it was tough but we were stubborn and we didn’t want to stop. After a few days of biking prodigiously we wanted to stop and rest for a longer time. So we started searching for a resort and ended up reaching an eerie place, most abruptly. W e were jovial and we went inside. It was a two-storey resort. The most unusual thing was that there was no network coverage. When we enquired we found that the resort was handled by a couple ­­­­Amrita and Tanzing. We were enervated and ravenous. Amrita could tell that by just looking at us...

My name is Aurora Martin and this is my story. When I was twelve years old I got in with the bad crowd. I made the mistake of learning their bad habits instantaneously. When I lived in Vienna there was a renowned bakery there by the name of ‘Blossom Bakery.’ My grandmother had always warned me to not to step into that bakery. I used to question her but she never answered. My grandmother died when I was fourteen. I really couldn’t understand what happened as most of the time I was zoned out.   A year later my group decided to have an adventurous night out. My group included all the spoilt and the bullies. Their names were John, Jose, Jean, Caroline, Ava and me. We all went to Ava’s house to decide the location for our night out. All of a sudden Caroline thought of Blossom Bakery and we were all going to regret this one day……… My gut feeling was clearly forewarning me to not to go there. But to show my loyalty towards the group I decided to hang with them. When we strode insi...
