Scary Stories To Watch In The Dark (If You Dare…)

Tonight, as darkness falls and the shadows grow longer, why not challenge yourself to something truly spine-chilling? Forget the television, dim the lights, draw the curtains and settle down with a few terrifying tales. Halloween is the perfect night to enter a world where footsteps echo through empty corridors, mysterious figures lurk in the darkness, and things that should remain buried refuse to stay dead. But be warned, once you begin reading, every creaking floorboard, whisper of wind and unexplained sound might send a shiver down your spine!
So, do you dare? Try W. W. Jacobs’ The Monkey’s Paw. You can find plenty of these classics free online.
Read alone if you’re feeling particularly brave, or gather a few friends and take turns reading aloud by candlelight. Let your imagination do the frightening, because sometimes the most terrifying monsters are those we create in our own minds.
The challenge is simple; read the above six scary stories before midnight, preferably with the lights turned low.
And when you’ve finished, there’s just one question left to answer; will you be brave enough to turn out the light
and go to sleep?
