The 'The Girl in the Graveyard' is also spooky. A group of friends dare one of their members to spend the night in an old, haunted graveyard. As the night falls, he starts hearing strange whispers. Then, he sees a figure of a girl in a white dress. She gets closer and closer, and he can't move. In the morning, his friends find him frozen in fear but alive.
There's the 'Bloody Mary' story. Legend has it that if you go into a bathroom with a candle, turn off the lights, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times while looking into the mirror, a ghostly figure will appear. Some say she was a witch who was killed brutally, and now she haunts those who summon her.
One good spooky campfire story is 'The Hook'. It's about a couple parked at a lovers' lane. They hear on the radio that a killer with a hook for a hand has escaped from a nearby asylum. As they're about to leave, they hear a scratching noise on the car door. When the guy drives away in a hurry, he later finds a bloody hook hanging on the door handle.
There's also 'The Girl in the Mirror'. A girl moves into a new old house. Every time she looks in the mirror at night, she sees a strange girl behind her. But when she turns around, no one is there. One night, she tries to touch the girl in the mirror and her hand goes through the mirror, and she gets pulled in. It's really spooky and kids love the mystery of it.
Another good one is 'The Girl with the Green Ribbon'. There's a girl who always wears a green ribbon around her neck. She never takes it off, not even when she sleeps or takes a bath. As she grows older, she gets married. One night, her husband, out of curiosity, unties the green ribbon. And her head falls off! It's a simple yet spooky story that can give kids a bit of a chill while sitting around the campfire.
One spooky campfire ghost story is about the Lady in White. Legend has it that she haunts an old bridge near a forest. People who cross the bridge at night claim to see a figure in a white dress. She is said to be the spirit of a young woman who died tragically there long ago.
Another good one is 'The Campfire Ghost'. A group of friends were camping deep in the woods. They were sitting around the campfire when they saw a figure in the trees. At first, they thought it was another camper, but as it got closer, they realized it was translucent. It seemed to be an old man with a sad expression. He just stared at them for a while and then vanished. The friends were so spooked that they left the campsite immediately and never went back to that spot again.
The mystery element is key. In stories like 'The Hook', not knowing exactly what was outside the car creates suspense. You keep wondering what would have happened if they didn't drive away.
One more is about the 'haunted campfire'. Campers saw the fire seem to flicker in strange patterns and heard whispering sounds. They were all spooked. But then they found out that there was a group of kids playing pranks in the bushes nearby. The kids had made some simple devices to create the spooky effects, which turned this initially scary situation into a funny one.
One kid friendly spooky campfire story could be about a friendly ghost in an old house. The ghost was once a little girl who got lost in the house long ago. She just wants to play with the kids who visit the house now. Instead of being scary, she leaves little presents for them like shiny stones or pretty feathers.
One spooky kids campfire story is about the haunted cabin in the woods. A group of kids went camping and found an old, abandoned cabin. When they entered, they heard strange whispers. At night, they saw a shadowy figure moving outside the window. They were so scared that they ran all the way back home.
There was this old, abandoned cabin near the campground. Legend had it that a witch used to live there. One night, some campers decided to explore it. As they entered, the door slammed shut behind them. They heard the sound of a cauldron boiling and a cackling laugh. They tried to find a way out, but every door they opened led to a different spooky scene, like a room full of floating skulls. Eventually, they found a small window and managed to escape.
Another spooky one is about a witch who lives deep in the woods. She was cursed long ago and now lures unsuspecting campers to her hut with the smell of delicious food. Once they enter, they find themselves trapped in a world of dark magic, with strange potions bubbling and creepy dolls that seem to move on their own.
