On Those Nights, I Wished to Come Back

A quiet beach. A relationship on the edge. And an eerie story that keeps circling around in your head. After being left alone one night, a woman finds herself drawn to the shoreline, where the ocean and sky blur into nothing. But she’s not alone for long. A strange girl appears, knowing too much, saying things she shouldn’t… and slowly revealing a truth far more unsettling than being abandoned. This is a short scary story about guilt, identity, and the moment you realize you might already be disappearing. You can get these ad-free through ScaryPlus.com free for 14 days, then 4.99 per month.

The Driver & The Hotel Incident (Two Scary Stories)

A late-night ride through a storm turns into something far more disturbing when a driver begins acting strangely… and there’s no way out of the car. In tonight’s second story, a couple wakes up in a hotel room at 2:56 AM to find their TV turning on by itself. What starts as a glitch turns into something even creepier, especially when they realize they’re not the only ones seeing it… and maybe never were. These are two chilling stories about being trapped in places that should feel safe, but aren’t. If you enjoy scary stories, paranormal encounters, and disturbing late-night experiences, turn off the lights and enjoy.

Rerouting: The Pale Man of Highway 152

A man takes a late-night drive home for the holidays, ignoring his father’s lifelong warning about a stretch of highway known for strange sightings and disappearances. What begins as a routine trip slowly unravels into something far more disturbing, one that mirrors a decades-old story his father never stopped believing. As past and present collide on a dark road, he realizes some places don’t let you pass through unnoticed. And sometimes, someone can follow you home.

A horror story about a man who lives in a large, empty house where he is haunted by the sounds and voices of the past.

Soup Mondays

Two creepy horror stories around our dark winter theme. In the first, Soup Mondays, a family had a strange Christmas tradition that involved spending time with loved ones in a bizarre way. Our second story, Night at the Mall, is about two security guards who are bored out of their minds patrolling an old mall that nobody likes to visit. It all changes one night when they witness a sighting that they still, to this day, cannot explain.

Door Wide Open: Two Short Creepy Stories

In these scary stories, a roommate has a strange habit of keeping the door wide open even while she sleeps. Is it to keep invite something in, or to let something out? In our second creepy story, "Veronica", a writer talks about a gift, a lonely doll that sits on his bookshelf. An object, he says, that may hold a type of power that he's only beginning to discover.
