One night, these kids were coming home from a party and there was a cemetery about one block away from home. One kid was telling the others about a local legend. If you go and stand on the grave for ten seconds and stab a knife into it, a hand will grab you and pull you into the grave with the corpse. One girl was brave enough to do it for $20.00. She got a knife, walked to a grave, stood on it, and stabbed the knife into it. Suddenly, her leg felt heavy and she tried to pick it up, but something was grabbing HER! She was yelling and crying for help, but her friends thought she was kidding, so they just left. The next day, they found out that she had died, of fright. She thought that somebody was grabbing her, but the knife she was using had pierced her pants and held her there.

ReplyDeleteMy sister used to scare me with this story called Shaboom, about a scary creature who used to walk on his hands because he had no feet. And he'd whisper "shaboom, shaboom" as he creeped up on you. Not sure if she made that up or if it's a real story.
ReplyDeleteI used to scare the crap out of myself because I would sneak Stephen King books out of my parents' room when I was 11... I think there was a two year period where I only slept like 3 hours a night...lol..

ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I made up a story called Red Blood Man that I told at campouts and when we would sleep in the back yard. I sacred everyone each time I told it.
My favorite scary story is the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. :)
