  Manu and Raj sat in the backseat of their parents’ car and talked all the way to SpooksVille. After four-five hours of their ride. Mr. Thakur cranked up the radio as loud as he could. The kids stopped arguing. That was his subtle hint that they should take a break. “You two are chattering like crows,” Mrs. Thakur said. “Why don’t you two enjoy the scenery for a while?” “Yeah. For sure,” I said. Manu and Raj went back to their conversation. They were totally psyched. Their neighbors Karan and Jyoti went to SpooksVille last spring. They said it was the coolest place they’d ever been. “They have a werewolf pet zoo…,” Karan said. “Do you believe it?” He laughed. “The werewolves looked totally real! It was awesome!” Jyoti liked the rides. She said to be sure to check out the Boom Slide, the world’s largest slide. “And don’t miss the Black Whale Water Ride,” he said. So, here they were, on our way to the famous scary theme park, riding through endless farm-land...

  “ I’m Inspector Jyoti Agdekar. Could you show me to the cages? “ The bald man stared for a long second at my badge before grabbing the keys on the table. “ Welcome to the Joginder Circus, miss. Follow me, please”, he said, while pointing with his index to the stairs leading to the basement. “ I’m sorry for your feet, though. The cages are not really a place for such an elegant young lady “ “ Don’t worry about me. I heard some complaints about the way your staff is treating the animals. You know I’m going to report anything suspicious, don’t you, Mr. Shashi?”, I responded, my heels echoing on the cold stone. There was a moment of silence, none of us want to continue the conversation. I started to look for any clue, insignificant or not until Mr. Shashi shook slightly the bundle of keys in his hand and asked “ What is your favorite animal? “ I snorted, rolling my eyes. “ I am not a fan of silly questions, Mr. Shashi “ “ Come on. Everyone wished ...

 When I was in college, I moved into a small apartment, where everything seemed normal except for one thing. Every 2 o'clock in the morning, someone would knock at the door, and I would always leave my computer and go to the door as fast as I can. The knocking would continue until I twist the doorknob open. Whenever I opened the door, there would be no one there. This would happen every single night, and I would go and open the door each and every time. It's so tiring and irritating, and yet I would always go and check. I just don't like the idea of having someone wait for me. Who am I to do that? I'm just a nobody. I didn't pay it any mind, but not until I began to get busy with schoolwork. I started to need sleep, and someone's sleep-depriving prank needed to stop. So, I set up a hidden camera outside my apartment to find out who the prankster really is. I waited and waited for the clock to tick to 2 AM. When it finally did, the prankster star...

 Ramesh was lying on his bed, eyes wide open. He was clearly irritated. The faint, murmuring noise coming from the living room didn’t let him sleep. He was thinking about the old lady in the living room. Ramesh’s parents were out for the night and had asked the old lady to look after him for the night. Normally, Kavya used to babysit him. Although he didn’t like to be babysat, he was nine after all but Kavya was nice. But she suddenly broke her leg today morning and couldn’t come. His parents were anxious that they wouldn’t find a babysitter when the old lady volunteered herself. The more Ramesh thought, the more suspicious he felt. He didn’t even know the old lady’s name. Everyone just called her Grandma. She was relatively new in the neighborhood and had moved into the dingy old house at the end of the street. She always kept to herself and did not talk to any of her neighbors. When she came over in the evening before Ramesh’s parents left, she asked his parents a st...

 “Happy birthday!” I look up letting out a yawn. Seeing my Dad towering over me, excited I ran around a little bit. “Come here I have a surprise!” Following Dad, I notice I’m getting tired quickly, by the time we reach the kitchen I’m heavily panting. Looking up I see Dad carrying down a small cake with the number 66 on it. The second he set it down I devoured it and made a huge mess. Patting me on the back he says, “Follow me I gotta take you somewhere.” I walk towards him and he puts me in a cage, carrying me to the car. I try to ask where he’s taking me but he doesn’t understand. Setting me down we start driving away and I try to figure out where he’s taking me. Pulling me up to a small building I realized we were at the vet. Sitting in the waiting room I cried out for help. I hate the vet. Picking me up and bringing me up to another room it was covered in bleach white. Looking to my left I see a man wearing white as well. Looking...

 One night, Rakesh had a nightmare. It was the most frightening thing he had ever experienced. In the dream, he found himself walking in a desert. Somehow, he had no idea how he had gotten there, but he knew he was lost and alone. When he looked down, he realized he was carrying a machete in his hand. The long, cold steel blade looked razor-sharp. The sun was beating down and the heat was intense. The man was sweating profusely, but he kept walking, even though he had no idea where he was going. After some time, he saw a dark figure crouching down in the distance. As he approached, he saw that it was a person, lying in the sand. He had been feeling extremely lonely, so he was grateful to see another human being. He quickly ran up to the man and bent over to help him up. However, when he turned the man over, he took one look at his face and recoiled in horror. He was looking at himself. In that instant, he was so overcome with fear that he raised the machete abo...

“When my sister Saanvi and I were kids, our family lived for a while in a charming old farmhouse. We loved exploring its dusty corners and climbing the apple tree in the backyard. But our favorite thing was the ghost. We called her Mother because she seemed so kind and nurturing. Some mornings Saanvi and I would wake up, and on each of our nightstands, we’d find a cup that hadn’t been there the night before. Mother had left them there, worried that we’d get thirsty during the night. She just wanted to take care of us. Among the homes’ original furnishings was an antique wooden chair which we kept against the back wall of the living room. Whenever we were preoccupied, watching TV or playing a game, Mother would inch that chair forward, across the room, toward us. Sometimes she’d manage to move it all the way to the center of the room. We always felt sad putting it back against the wall. Mother just wanted to be near us. Years later, long after we’d moved out, I found an old newspaper ar...

  When I was a child my family moved to a big old two-floor house, with big empty rooms and creaking floorboards. Both my parents worked so I was often alone when I came home from school. One early evening when I came home the house was still dark. I called out, “Mum?” and heard her sing-song voice say “Yeeeeees?” from upstairs. I called her again as I climbed the stairs to see which room she was in and again got the same “Yeeeeees?” reply. We were decorating at the time, and I didn’t know my way around the maze of rooms but she was in one of the far ones, right down the hall. I felt uneasy, but I figured that was only natural so I rushed forward to see my mum, knowing that her presence would calm my fears, as a mother’s presence always does. Just as I reached for the handle of the door to let myself into the room I heard the front door downstairs open and my mother call “Sweetie, are you home?” in a cheery voice. I jumped back, startled, and ran down the stairs to her, bu...

  Vishwas leaves his house every morning to walk to work and passes a mental hospital surrounded by a wooden fence. Every morning the patients are out in the yard and he can hear them saying in unison, “10, 10, 10, 10, 10”. One day, he gets curious and looks through a hole in the fence. Suddenly, a stick shoots out and pokes him in the eye. “What the FUCK! He says to himself.” While walking away pissed off he can hear the patients saying, “11, 11, 11, 11, 11”

 Mommy told me never to go in the basement, but I wanted to see what was making that noise. It kind of sounded like a puppy, and I wanted to see the puppy, so I opened the basement door and tiptoed down a bit. I didn’t see a puppy, and then Mommy yanked me out of the basement and yelled at me. Mommy had never yelled at me before, and it made me sad and I cried. Then Mommy told me never to go into the basement again, and she gave me a cookie. That made me feel better, so I didn’t ask her why the boy in the basement was making noises like a puppy, or why he had no hands or feet. MOHAK ROKADE Copyright © MOHAK ROKADE. 1.

 Vikram is sleeping in his bed on a usual night. He hears footsteps outside his door and peeks out of his eyes to see what is happening. His door swings open quietly to reveal a murderer carrying the corpses of his parents. After silently propping them up on a chair, he writes something on the wall in the blood of the dead bodies. He then hides under the child's bed. The child is scared beyond belief. He can’t read the writing on the wall and he knows the man is under his bed. Like any child, he pretends that he slept through the whole thing and hasn’t awoken yet. He lays still as the bodies, quietly hearing the breaths from under his bed. An hour passes, and his eyes are adjusting more and more to the darkness. He tries to make out the words, but it’s a struggle. He gasps when he finally makes out the sentence. “I know you’re awake”. He feels something shift underneath his bed. MOHAK ROKADE Copyright © MOHAK ROKADE. 1. If you share this post, please give due c...

 “Last night a friend rushed me out of the house to catch the opening act at a local bar’s music night. After a few drinks I realized my phone wasn’t in my pocket. I checked the table we were sitting at, the bar, the bathrooms, and after no luck I used my friend’s phone to call mine. After two rings someone answered, gave out a low raspy giggle, and hung up. They didn’t answer again. I eventually gave it up as a lost cause and headed home. I found my phone laying on my nightstand, right where I left it.”

 Although they had been living here for 3 weeks now, the house still looked new to Jai. He always kept stumbling into strange things and found new doors which sometimes vanished. His mother didn't believe him and he didn't care about it. He just wanted to explore his new house.  On a chilly winter evening, Jai went into his mother's room and asked her if she would play with him.  "I'm busy, honey." She was writing something in a notebook.  "But mom, I want to play!" he persisted.  "Jai, please. Let me finish my work, we'll play afterwards."  "But you work till late! It would be bedtime when you finish your work." He pleaded.  "Baby please. I've got some really important work to do! Please go play with someone else!" "Someone else, who? The ghosts?" He asked innocently because they had no neighbours.  "Yeah, go. Have fun." She told him off.  "Fine, but ...

It was late and I was standing at the bus stand waiting for the bus which had to come after an hour. My eyes went through the road and suddenly I saw a man who was lying under a tree. I wanted to go near the tree but I was a bit scared as the streets were deserted. But keeping my fingers crosses I went because I thought that the man might need some help. As soon as I went there and I looked toward that man my heart started palpitating uncontrollably. I saw that the man was lying in the pool of blood. There were injuries on his hand and scars on his neck. I called out for help but as the streets were deserted nobody could be seen. I went a little far from that place for help and I saw a shop with the owner. I told him everything and he came with me and to my utter surprise the man was not there. I was in shock. The shop owner thought that I was kidding to him so he went off angrily. Soon the bus came and weeping my tears I got into it. I was thinking about this incident the who...

 A man was lying in bed one evening when he noticed there were lots of sirens in the streets outside. And there was a helicopter flying around overhead, and the sounds of barking dogs and shouting people. He looked out his window and saw a great deal of police activity, so he went online to discover what was going on. “Serial Killer Escapes!” said the headlines. As he read further, the man discovered a crazed killer had broken loose and that he was believed to be in the man’s neighborhood. But he wasn’t too worried. As the night wore on, the noise wound down, and the man went to bed. Suddenly, the man was startled awake. He thought he had heard a sound. He listened carefully and was just about to go back to sleep when he heard it again. This time he was sure someone was trying to get in his front door. The man looked down the hallway, terrified, not knowing what to do. The only way out of his room, without going into the hallway, was through the window. He coul...

 A man moved to a small town and slowly got to know a few of his new neighbors. He soon learned that most of the residents believed that one of the roads out of town was haunted, but he didn’t believe in ghosts, so he never asked why. One day, the man went to visit a friend in another town. He was enjoying his visit so much that he ended up staying later than he had planned. By the time he left for home, it was way past midnight. There was no moon that night, and once he left the town limits, the only lighting came from his headlights. Soon it began raining, and the rain made it even more difficult to see. As a result, it was almost too late to brake when the man saw the woman on the road. He jammed his foot hard to the floor, and the car swerved in the road before coming to a stop just inches from her legs. Normally, the man would have driven off again, but it was so late and the weather was terrible. He decided to offer the woman a ride. She got into his car, too...

 The first hotel to have more than thirteen floors had a huge Halloween party to celebrate its opening. Each floor was set up like a maze, decorated with cobwebs and other Halloween decorations. There were lots of people dressed up as ghosts and ghouls to frighten the partygoers. An exciting prize was hidden on the top floor, and the first person to reach the prize would win it. Jai and Sara were two of the partygoers. They worked their way easily through the mazes on the first few floors. As they headed up through the building, the hallways on each floor got darker and scarier. When they got to the twelfth floor, Jai and Sara heard a blood-curdling scream. As they made their way through the maze, they heard more screams and cries for help. Finally, in the lobby by the elevators, they saw blood dripping from the ceiling. The elevator dinged, and the doors slowly opened, which was strange because every other time they used the elevator, the doors had been quick and ...

 Two sisters were spending the summer at their grandparents’ house. When the sun was shining, they had plenty of fun, swimming in the lake out front, exploring the woods out back, and playing all sorts of games in the gardens. However, one week, toward the end of their stay, it did nothing but rain. The girls had played board games, read books, made things with their crafts supplies, and now they were bored. The grandparents’ house was large, and the girls thought it would be an excellent place for a game of hide-and-seek. The younger sister wanted to hide first. She ran off to find a hiding place while her sister covered her eyes and began to count to fifty. The older sister heard her sibling’s footsteps running up the stairs and along the hallway to the back of the house. After reaching fifty, she opened her eyes and went in search of her sister. The girl went into every room. She looked under the beds and in the closets. Behind the curtains and behind the doors,...

 A man and his young teenage son lived together in a small house on the outskirts of town. The lot their house sat on was large and overgrown with tall hedges blocking the house from the street. One day, the man left on an overnight business trip but took his son’s phone charger by mistake. As a result, neither the boy nor his father could charge their phones. Both phones were fully charged at first, but the man was delayed on his way home, and by midnight on the second day, both phones were dead. It was just after this that the boy heard a knock on the front door. He was a sensible boy and knew not to open the door to strangers. Instead, he looked out of his bedroom window, onto the drive to see who was there. The boy saw his father’s car in the drive, but he could not see the front door from his room. He went downstairs and looked through the peephole in the door to see who was there. He could see his father on the other side of the door, looking back at him, and the...

 A teenage girl had been babysitting for the same family for a few years. The children were generally well behaved, and she enjoyed looking after them. One day the family called the babysitter with a special request. “My sister and her husband died in an accident, and we have taken in their daughter,” the father said. “She is very quiet after what happened to her parents, but she is no trouble. Would you mind looking after her as well as the other children this Saturday?” The babysitter said she didn’t mind at all, and on Saturday evening, she went to the family’s house. The children settled down in bed and they all quickly fell asleep, except the niece. The little girl came back downstairs and asked if she could sit with the babysitter because the monster that killed her parents wouldn’t let her go to sleep. Thinking the little girl was imagining things, but understanding she had just lost her parents, the babysitter decided to let the little girl sit with her...

 When I was a child, I lived on a street with a haunted house. A large and happy family had lived in the house until a night when one of the children was playing with matches. The youngest boy of the family dropped a lit match on his bed but was too scared to call out for help. The boy was burned alive under his covers. His parents and two sisters died with him in the flames. One evening during a sleepover, my friends and I took turns trying to scare each other with ghost stories. It was approaching midnight and, unable to scare each other, we thought it would be fun to go to the haunted house in the dark. We walked through the gate together and up to what remained of the door, still set in its stone doorframe. The smell of smoke hung in the air, and thin clouds of ash were being blown in the breeze. But then we realized there was no breeze. Shapes began to form in the clouds of ash and gray hands reached out from the shapes. As we turned to run, screams rose u...
