Scary Story: Share Your Favorite Scary Story
There's a scary story called 'The Babadook'. In this story, a single mother discovers a mysterious children's book that seems to bring a malevolent entity, the Babadook, into their lives. The way the Babadook torments the mother and her son, and how it creeps into every corner of their home and their minds, is what makes it so scary.
One of my favorite scary stories is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is haunted by an old man's vulture - like eye. The narrator's slow descent into madness as he plots and executes the old man's murder is truly terrifying. Every little detail, like the way he describes how he hid the body under the floorboards, and then the growing paranoia as he starts to think he can still hear the old man's heart beating, makes it a classic scary story.
A really scary story I like is the one about the girl in the mirror. Legend has it that if you look into a mirror at midnight in a certain old, abandoned house, you'll see a girl with long black hair and a white dress. She'll start to come closer and closer to you from within the mirror until she reaches out and grabs you. It gives me chills just thinking about it.
Can you share your favorite scary story?
Sure. 'The Haunting of Hill House' is a great one. The story is set in a haunted mansion, and there are all kinds of strange noises, apparitions, and an overall sense of unease. It plays on our fears of the unknown and what might lurk in the dark corners of old, creepy houses.
What is your favorite scary story?
My favorite has to be 'The Monkey's Paw'. It's a short but extremely effective horror story. A family gets a magical monkey's paw that can grant three wishes. However, every wish comes with a terrible price. It shows how our desires can lead to unforeseen and terrifying consequences.
Share your scary story
There was this one time when I was exploring an abandoned building. As I walked through the halls, I saw a shadow moving out of the corner of my eye. I followed it, and it led me to a room with a broken mirror. In the mirror, I saw a distorted face that wasn't mine. I ran out of there as fast as I could. Later, I found out it might have been a trick of the light reflecting off the broken glass.

Once, I was camping alone in the woods. At midnight, I heard strange howling sounds. I peeked out of my tent and saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. I was so scared that I huddled in my sleeping bag, not daring to move until morning. When the sun finally rose, I found out it was just a stray dog.
Hotel Scary Story: Share Your Experience
I once heard a hotel scary story. A friend of mine checked into an old hotel. At night, he heard strange scratching noises on the door. When he looked through the peephole, he saw a shadowy figure but when he opened the door, there was nothing there. It really freaked him out and he couldn't sleep the whole night.
Share your scary online dating story.
My scary online dating story involves a person who was overly possessive from the very start. After just a few messages, he started acting like we were in a serious relationship. He would get angry if I didn't reply right away. When we finally met, he tried to control everything we did. He didn't like me talking to other people at the coffee shop we went to. It was really suffocating, and I had to end things there and then. I learned to be more cautious about people's behavior early on in the online dating process.
Wheelchair Scary Story: Share Your Experience
Once, I saw an old wheelchair in an abandoned house. It was creaking on its own as if someone was sitting in it. I got so scared and ran away immediately.

My hometown has a story about a bridge. A long time ago, a woman was thrown off the bridge by her jealous lover. Since then, if you drive across the bridge at night, you might see the figure of a woman in your rear - view mirror. She seems to be running after your car, with a look of despair on her face. It's a story that has been passed down for generations, and it still gives people the creeps when they cross that bridge at night.
Carl Reiner, what is your favorite scary story to tell?
One that always gives me chills is about a haunted lighthouse. A new keeper arrived at the lighthouse. At night, he would hear strange tapping on the walls. He thought it was just the wind at first. But then, he saw a wet footprint on the floor that led to the edge of the balcony. He looked out into the dark sea and saw a figure emerging from the water. It climbed up the lighthouse, its hands leaving slimy trails. When it reached the balcony, it stared at the keeper with its dead, white eyes. The keeper never returned to that lighthouse again.
