“The Shadow in
the Attic”
Written horror stories
The
house on the hill was rumored to be haunted. The locals whispered about strange
noises coming from the attic and shadows that moved on their own. But Samantha
and her husband, Mark, didn’t believe in ghosts, so they decided to buy the
house and renovate it.
The first few weeks were uneventful. They repainted the walls,
replaced the old furniture, and made the house livable. But one night, Samantha
heard something coming from the attic. It was a scratching sound, like something
was trying to claw its way out.
She woke up Mark, but he didn’t hear anything. He went back to sleep, but
Samantha stayed awake, listening to the noise until it faded away.
The next night, the scratching sound returned, but this time, it was louder.
Samantha tried to wake up Mark again, but he was fast asleep. She decided to
investigate on her own, so she climbed up to the attic.
It was dark, but Samantha could see a shadow moving in the corner of the room.
She turned on the flashlight on her phone and shone it towards the shadow. It
was a large, black figure with glowing red eyes.
Samantha screamed and ran back down to the bedroom, waking up Mark in the
process. He thought she was having a nightmare, but when she told him what she
saw, he decided to check it out.
Horror stories that really happened
They both climbed up to the attic, but there was nothing there. No shadow, no
scratching sound, nothing. Mark told Samantha that it was probably just her
imagination playing tricks on her.
But Samantha knew what she saw. And as the weeks went on, the shadow in the
attic became more and more present. It would move around the room, watching her
every move. She tried to ignore it, but it was always there, lurking in the
dark.
One night, Samantha woke up to find the shadow standing over her bed. It was no
longer a shadow, but a full-bodied apparition. It reached out to touch her, but
she screamed and ran out of the room.
The next morning, Samantha and Mark packed their bags and left the house on the
hill. They never returned, but the locals continued to whisper about the shadow
in the attic, and the couple who fled in terror.
Years went by, and the house on the hill remained abandoned. The shadow in the
attic was forgotten by most, but not by Samantha. She couldn’t shake the
feeling that it was still watching her, even after all these years.
One day, Samantha received a call from her old neighbor, Mrs. Jenkins. She told
her that the house on the hill was being renovated by a new family. Samantha
was hesitant to go back, but Mrs. Jenkins convinced her to come and see the
changes they had made.
Samantha agreed and made her way up to the house on the hill. As she walked up
the front steps, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread. But she pushed
through it and entered the house.
Short written horror stories
The new family had done a lot of work to the place. The walls were freshly
painted, the floors were polished, and the furniture was new. Samantha couldn’t
help but feel envious of the family that would get to live in such a beautiful
home.
But as they made their way up to the attic, Samantha’s heart began to race. She
could feel the shadow’s presence growing stronger with each step.
When they entered the attic, Samantha’s worst fears were confirmed. The shadow
was there, looming over them like a dark cloud. The new family couldn’t see it,
but Samantha could feel its cold breath on the back of her neck.
She tried to warn them, but they didn’t believe her. They thought she was just
trying to scare them, but Samantha knew better. She had been through it before.
As they left the house, Samantha couldn’t help but feel guilty. She knew what
was waiting for them, but she didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to ruin
their dreams of a perfect home.
But as the days went by, Samantha couldn’t shake the feeling that something was
wrong. She went back to the house on the hill, hoping to warn the new family
about the shadow.
But when she arrived, the house was empty. The family was gone, and there was
no sign of them anywhere. Samantha knew what had happened. The shadow in the
attic had claimed its next victims.
From that day on, Samantha made it her mission to warn others about the shadow
in the attic. She knew the danger it posed, and she didn’t want anyone else to
suffer the same fate as the family on the hill.
