micro horror stories

(Micro horror stories are just a few sentence long. We've collected these from across the internet.)

"A girl heard her mom yell her name from downstairs, so she got up and started to head down. As she got to the stairs, her mom pulled her into her room and said, "I heard that, too." (This story actually inspired one of David's stories in Terrifying Tales: 13 Scary Stories for Children.)

"Growing up with cats and dogs, I got used to the sounds of scratching at my door while I slept. Now that I live alone, it is much more unsettling."

"My grandmother told me that it was a gift to see the angel of death in front of people's houses, to know that he'd be collecting someone there soon. I thought it was a gift too, up until the day I began to see it in front of every house."

"I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, 'Daddy check for monsters under my bed.' I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, 'Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.' by Juan J Ruiz

"I can't move, breathe, speak or hear and it's so dark all the time. If I knew it would be this lonely, I would have been cremated instead."

"I woke up to hear knocking on glass. At first, I though it was the window until I heard it come from the mirror again."


Kids, I'm not lying to you... these are the songs your parents or grandparents used to listen to. There's something not quite right with them, isn't there? What kind of strange, creepy, unknowable people enjoyed music like this? Beware...
