61.

My girlfriend is scared of horror movies. They make her paranoid, which can be tricky when I'm watching her through her living room window.

62.

I found a new bottle of my best friend's favorite scotch on the kitchen counter today. He died in a drunk driving accident six years ago.

63.

It's nice that my grandmother calls to check on me, but if she wants to communicate from the other side I wish she wouldn't scream so much.

64.

My boyfriend has a collection he's very proud of. He never told me that he's been collecting souvenirs from the girlfriends he murdered.

I have a recurring dream I'm murdered by a man I'd never met. I thought it was stupid until I went on a blind date and saw him at the table.

66.

I had guests over today, they seemed to be really nice, so I introduced my hobby; it's quite technical, you see, and I'm no good with words, so I had to show them.

95.

I held my son's hand tightly as the cars whizzed past the sidewalk. "With any luck, they won't find the rest of him," I muttered to myself.

96.

I was starving and lost in the woods until I found a hiker. Im full now, I just wished she hadn't screamed so loud.

97.

'Daddy I can't sleep" she said, and crawled under the sheets with me. In the morning I woke up freezing cold and clutching the dress she was buried in.

98.

I arrived at the funeral a few minutes late. Nobody acknowledged me, and I figured out why when I looked into the casket and saw myself.

99.

I had three seconds of sight left. I was fascinated by how much my brains resembled oatmeal, spattered on the concrete.

101.

'Please stop," I whimpered as he fastened my other arm to the table, "if you let me go, I won't tell anyone". He looked up at me with a wicked smile "how do you think I got you? They gave you to me.'

102.

There was a picture in my phone of me sleeping. I live alone.

103.

As I walked up the driveway with my new friend, I introduced him to my dad. "What friend?!" he asked with bewilderment in his eyes.

104.

I sat up from this horrible nightmare that a gruesome faced man was trying to get in my home, all of a sudden I heard my daughter screaming. I ran down the hall and she was hiding her face in the pillow screaming and crying and said "a man was watching me outside.'

105.

I'll hide you in my walls, your body will never be found! I'll wear your skin as a suit, your friends will like you more than they used to.

106.

She woke up to an unusual silence in their bedroom. She looked over as the thing that laid where her husband use to be rose from under the sheets.

107.

I have never seen anything like it, the way it screamed and crawled towards me. This… This thing is suppose to be my little brother.

108.

I'm all alone during a storm when the power goes out. Lightning strikes and there is a man standing in my hallway with a knife.

109.

I woke up to the sound of screams and the feel of immense heat surrounding me. Sobbing as the torture began again, I remembered hell wasn't a made up place…

110.

I kept calling my girlfriend the day they buried me. She wouldn't answer.

111.

My cat is asleep beside my computer in his favorite spot. I've buried him 10 times.

112.

I've been scrubbing my hands non-stop for weeks. The blood just won't come off.

113.

I woke up to the smell of copper in the air. I had done it again.

114.

I look at my clock its 3:15 as a rotting corpse pushes fingers into my stomach, I scream in relief its only a dream. Looking at my clock it is 3:14 and my closet door creeks open…

115.

I see a face staring at me from my window. I live on the 3rd floor.

116.

As she finally drifted off to sleep, she felt the cold, bony fingers caress her body. She prayed it was just a dream….

117.

When she turned around, she saw her own self, dressed in different clothes. Her heart went into shock and the other self gently helped her to the floor as she died.

118.

The cloven hoof prints were fresh. They were in sets of two, staggered like a man running.

119.

I got a haunted doll in the mail today. If only I could find where she ran off too…q

The stew I was eating was delicious, and I wanted to give my husband a taste. That's when I found his wedding ring in my bowl, still on his finger.
