spooky town names for a story

Eerie Hollow. It gives the feeling of a desolate and spooky place hidden away. Just the name makes you think of a town full of mystery and things that go bump in the night.

You can combine words related to death, like 'Death' and 'Grove' to make 'Death Grove'. Another way is to use words that imply something is wrong or out of place, such as 'Twisted' and 'Village' to form 'Twisted Village'.

You might consider 'Bleak' as a name. It gives a sense of desolation and something not quite right. Also, 'Hollow' could be a good name. It makes one think of emptiness and something that might be lurking within that hollowness, which is perfect for a freaky story. Another option could be 'Sable', which has a dark and somewhat mysterious quality.

Some spooky names could be 'The Haunted Hollow', 'Eerie Elm Street', 'Shadow's Lair'.

Here are a few more: 'Midnight's Whisper', 'The Phantom's Lair', 'The Bewitched Bridge'. 'Midnight's Whisper' creates an image of a quiet, spooky moment at midnight when you might hear something strange. 'The Phantom's Lair' implies a place where a ghost or phantom resides. And 'The Bewitched Bridge' makes it seem as if the bridge has some sort of magical or spooky curse on it.

Once upon a time in an old town, there was a dilapidated house on the outskirts. People said it was haunted. At night, strange noises could be heard coming from it. A young boy, curious as he was, decided to enter one night. As he walked in, the door slammed shut behind him. He saw shadowy figures moving in the corners. Terrified, he ran towards the stairs but felt cold hands grabbing at his ankles. He managed to break free and found a back door to escape. Ever since then, he never dared to go near that old haunted house again.

The Haunted House on the Hill. It gives an immediate sense of a spooky location. Another one could be 'The Ghostly Graveyard'. Graveyards are often associated with the supernatural. And also 'The Cursed Forest' which implies that there are dark and dangerous things lurking within.

Names like 'The Witch's Lair', 'The Devil's Bridge', 'The Shadowy Swamp' are also great. A witch's lair is a place where a witch might perform dark magic and cast spells. The Devil's Bridge could be a place where there are stories of devilish encounters or sacrifices. A shadowy swamp is often a place filled with mystery, mists and unknown creatures in spooky stories.

Good character names for a spooky short story could be 'Nox'. It means night in Latin and the night is often a time when scary things happen. 'Lilith' is a name from Jewish mythology that is often associated with demons and the night. 'Thorn' can be a name that gives the impression of something prickly and dangerous, like a hidden threat in the story.

One spooky story from Grafton Ghost Town is about an old well. Legend has it that a young girl fell into the well many years ago and died. Now, if you stand near the well at midnight, you can hear her crying for help. It's a really eerie sound that sends chills down your spine. This story has been passed down through generations, and it adds to the overall haunted atmosphere of the town.
