Scary Stories

NOTE: This page is for TRUE scary stories. Scary Fiction is available by clicking here.


It's hard not to be fascinated by a scary story. Aside from the rush of fear we get reading a chilling tale, there's an even deeper, often subconscious, connection to mythology involved.

Our instincts teach us what to fear. Our fear can protect us from danger, but it can also haunt us in the middle of the night. Aside from our instincts, the only other way we learn fear is through experience. The beauty is, though, that the experience doesn't have to be direct.

A good story can inspire the same adrenaline rush in us that a real experience would. The fight-or-flight response that kicks in during a terrifying moment is just as real to us in a dream as it is in reality. What the mind fears, it responds to.

Digging through stacks of myths, there are many, many stories to be told. The violent battle between Zeus and Typhon, the deadly stare of Medusa, the vicious rage of a werewolf, or the lethal charm of Count Dracula all can be felt under the skin when we hear their tales all over again.

There are a lot of opinions on what makes a story truly frightening, but there is only one I will pronounce as fact.

The best scary stories are true.

Many of us have had encounters with the paranormal and the supernatural. We all thought there were monsters under our bed, but some of us really had a boogieman living in our closet, or a ghost walking in our attic. Myths on their own are powerless until we bring them into our own experience, test them against our own fears, and face them in our own lives.

I have a story. And it's true. And I'll bet you do too. That's what this page is about - getting as many people as possible to share their personal encounters with the supernatural, in vivid description, for all to witness.

Because monsters aren't truly scary until they're real.
