Three Knocks at the Cabin Door: A Terrifying Supernatural Horror Story The first night, Dean ignored it. Three sharp knocks. Precise. Measured. Not loud — but certain. He’d lain awake in the dark of the cabin, staring at the ceiling beams, listening to the forest breathe beyond the walls. Duke had lifted his head from the rug, ears twitching, then settled again when Dean didn’t move. The second night, Dean had called out.

With Silver Bells and Cockle Shells The first time the rhyme appeared, it was buried in a police incident report. Not in the narrative. Not in the summary of damages. In the margin, where an officer would normally sketch a broken window or note a bloodstain pattern, someone had written, in hard block capitals: MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY Beneath it sat a timestamp. Four minutes ahead of the official dispatch.

Where the Excess Goes: A Story About Identity and Disappearance The jobs I do are not what you’d consider kosher by any stretch of the imagination. I’m hired by people who don’t use their real names, who speak carefully and only when necessary, who understand that anonymity is worth more than honesty. I work in a shadow economy where discretion is the only credential that matters, and silence is currency.

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: A Folklore Horror Story About Who Controls the Narrative The first time the rhyme appeared, it was in a police incident report. The call itself was minor. It was a domestic disturbance that resolved before officers arrived. However, the paperwork unsettled the clerk who logged it. Not the injuries. Not the language. The repetition within the margins. Residents interviewed on the scene kept repeating the same phrase. Not chanting. Not joking.

An AI Decides Who Disappears: A Short Horror Story About ‘Acceptable Loss’” The desk was already warm when Shawna sat down. Not from the lights. From use. She paused before lowering herself into the chair, aware of the faint resistance in its hydraulics, as if it recognized her as a replacement rather than an arrival. The vinyl seat yielded slowly, reluctant to forget the weight it had held hours earlier. The monitor was already awake.

All That Remains Is The Signal I have always trusted machines more than people. Machines obey systems. Even when they fail, they fail predictably, while people invent meaning to disguise chaos. They lie to themselves first, and then to everyone else. That fact-based realization drove me to the archive. I live alone above it. My room is narrow with no windows. The walls hum faintly with the building’s age.

The AI That Decided Who Lives

The hospital breathed around Dr. Emma Lewis—machines chirping, carts rattling, voices rising and falling in practiced urgency. Fluorescent lights hummed overhead as she moved through the corridor, white coat snapping at her heels. This was her world: loud, fast,…

The Stillwarden: A Psychological Horror Story About Witnesses and Inaction Daniel was in his office when his phone vibrated. The vibration moved across the desk and into his wrists. It rattled his coffee mug. The lamp trembled. The light flickered. The glow of the screen bloomed in the dim room like something alive, pulling his attention away from the sentence he had been shaping for the past ten minutes. His editor’s name filled the display.

The Long-Arm Man: A Short Psychological Horror Story Eli sat in bed with his knees pulled tight to his chest, the thin blanket wrapped around his waist. Above him, the ceiling fan clicked softly, its shadow chopping the dark into restless pieces that never quite settled. He bounced his rubber ball once against the mattress and caught it, holding it still as if motion itself might summon something. The floor creaked.

The Curse of Blackwood Reach – A Tale of Inescapable Bondage

David’s car fishtailed on the gravel road leading toward Blackwood Reach. Snow hissed beneath the tires, thin and treacherous, barely masking the ruts carved by years of neglect. The GPS had gone dark miles ago, its calm digital…

When the Lights Flicker: A Haunting Yuletide Tale Lisa noticed the snow long before she reached the house. It wasn’t the soft December kind she knew from childhood. It fell in dense sheets, pushed sideways by wind, as if the whole sky were trying to warn her away. She should’ve been comforted by the thought of home. Her parents were the type to celebrate anything, even bad news. When she was six and broke her arm, they decorated the sling with glitter stars.

The Empty Man: A Terrifying Tale of Despair and the Supernatural Kenny had stopped pretending his life was something worth holding onto. Most mornings he woke with the same dull ache in his chest, a heaviness that settled into his bones before he even swung his legs over the side of the bed. The world moved around him—cars humming, neighbors laughing, clocks ticking—but none of it seemed to belong to him anymore.

When the House Calls Your Name Mara arrived at the Crandall House a little before sunset, just as a violet bruise spread across the sky. The air thickened the moment she stepped out of her car. It clung to her skin. Denser, heavier, almost viscous compared to the clean sharpness of her suburban home. Country air was supposed to be fresh. But something told her it wasn’t air.

The Curse of The Red Hatter No one remembers who first saw him that winter, but everyone remembers the hat. It was a deep crimson fedora, almost glowing against the dirty snow. Some said the man wearing it drifted through the fairgrounds during the annual Frost Light Carnival, silent among the noise. He didn’t buy tickets or food. He didn’t speak. He just watched — head tilted low, the brim shadowing his face — until someone noticed him, and then he’d vanish like a skipped frame in a reel of film.

Smoke and Shadows: Halloween Night at the Corman House - Midnight Murmurs -Short Stories By Kevin Enners On Birch Street, no one dares knock on the Corman house. But when a girl hears her dead brother’s voice on Halloween night, the last trick begins.

An old woman, a bold boy falling victim, a sister determined to find her brother. Nobody is safe on All Hallows Eve.

Smoke and Shadows: Halloween Night at the Corman House Birch Street slept under a blanket of fog. Pumpkins flickered like dying eyes, and the air had that October bite — cold, sharp, a little cruel. Every Halloween, the kids owned the street. They darted between porch lights, laughing too loud, sugar-high and fearless. But no one — no one — went near number 47. The Corman house. It slumped at the dead end like something abandoned by time.

We tell each other lies about the fight for free will and independence, but we don't really want that.. People want oblivion, and a few of us are born to build it for them. So here I am - their invisible god sneaking under their skin.

It rolled across the sea in silent sheets, swallowing the last orange line of daylight. Nora adjusted her camera harness, squinting toward the horizon where the Atlantic met the jagged outline of the Flannan Isles. This is it, she thought. The one that finally makes my name.

The Shadow of Her Face He couldn't stop thinking about her. He couldn't stop thinking about them. He felt sick. Utterly, miserably, deathly sick. There was nothing he could do now to save their relationship. There was nothing he could do now to save himself from madness. It seemed, as the voices inside his head told him, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, on this earth for him, and the only salvation would be in death.
