The Arrival of the Welder Gheist
Today started out pretty weird and only got weirder. We'd been out of the woods for about a week, my legs finally feeling less wobbly, and I was set to putting everything back to rights. Having been gone about three days, the dust had taken over again, and the house needed to be aired out. Grandpa had helped with the cleaning as much as he could, and now the house is back to its usual presentable state.

But I live alone
It was some time near midnight. Maybe 11:54 pm when the night began to feel chillier than usual. I usually like it when it was a bit cooler as I slept at night, but this was a different kind of cold. I bundled underneath the blanket to keep myself warm and protected from the cold air that blew against the blanket and I. When it grew too much after trying several times to keep my body warm, I found myself crawling out of bed groggily and walking towards the thermostat with a stumble. I rubbed the 6-hour crust from my eyes to read the machine before me in it low lighting.It read 64 degrees. Strange, I tell myself as I have never left it that low before unless it was summer. With the sound of the beep from the thermostat, the temperature was soon adjust back to 72 degrees. I made my way to the kitchen to grab a snack to satisfy my late hunger when I noticed there was a cup of water already on the counter of the island in the middle of the kitchen.

10 Best Horror Movies
The best horror movies of all time aren't always the ones that make you leap out of your skin when you watch them. In fact, some of the very best scary movies are the ones that gently creep under your skin instead, making you think you're fine, only to discover that you can't even imagine turning off the bedside light for fear of what might arrive in the dark. And in excellent news for your frayed nerves, the sheer selection of frights available means that at least one of the best horror movies will find something that truly terrifies you. Whether that's a twisted version of the natural world as animals turn rogue, traditional haunted houses doing their worst, or a classic slasher villain (or two) arriving for one more scare.

Dad had a hole in his head. Top Story - August 2022.
I'm not sure which was weirder. The fact that dad had a hole in his head or the fact that he was so unimpressed with it. Dad had come home from his job at the steel mill, just as he had a thousand times. We heard him sit his hard hat by the door as he stripped out of his jumpsuit before coming to dinner. Mom had meatloaf on the table with potatoes and peas, dad's favorites, and we waited patiently for him to arrive just like always. If this sounds weird to you, that's because it should. Dad had a strange idea that he should go to work, that mom should stay home and keep the kids, and that everything should be like an episode of Leave it to Beaver when he got home. I remember for a while that mom would meet him at the door with a cold glass of beer when he came home, but eventually, dad told her to stop, so the dust from the mill didn't get on her.

3 Creepiest Horror Stories, You Ever Heard
Story - 1: It was a moonless night. Enough light was there to show the way but not enough to guide the way. I and my friends were out for a night walk and we had no idea that our ways would cross with something so horrifying. We were laughing, talking and making fun of each other when we heard a noise. It sounded like someone was crying. We thought it was one of us who was crying so we stopped and asked but no one answered. Then we thought that it must be an animal so we started to move again but the noise followed us. We became scared and we ran but it felt like the thing was running after us. We reached a small hill from where we could see our whole village. There were houses and streets and people but no sign of the thing that was following us. We were about to go back when we saw it. It was a figure, all black, no face and it was running towards us. We screamed and ran in different directions. I don't know what happened to my friends but I ran towards my house. I don't know how but I reached my house and I went inside and locked the door. I was shaking with fear and I couldn't stop crying. I don't know how long I sat there but I must have dozed off because the next thing I remember is my mother coming into the room and asking me what was wrong. I told her everything that had happened and she said that it was just a nightmare. I didn't believe her then but I do now. It was just a nightmare but it felt so real that I can still remember it clearly. I don't know what that thing was but I know that it wasn't anything human. Story - 2: It was the most terrifying experience of my life. It was a dark, moonless night, and my friends and I had been walking in the woods for hours, trying to find our way back to the road. We had been hiking all day and were exhausted, but we were too scared to stop and rest. We could hear something following us, crashing through the underbrush, and we knew it wasn't an animal. We had been walking for hours, and we were all getting ready to give up and just sit down and wait for morning, when we heard it again. This time, it sounded closer. And then we saw it. It was a ghost, floating just above the ground, its eyes glowing red with hunger. It was coming straight for us, and we knew it was going to kill us. We turned and ran, but it was faster than us. It caught up to my friend Sarah first, and we heard her screams as it tore her apart. We kept running, but it caught up to us one by one, until there was only me left. I could hear it behind me, its breath ragged and its claws clicking on the ground. I knew it was only a matter of time before it caught me. I tripped on a root and fell, and it was on me in an instant. I felt its teeth sink into my neck, and I knew I was going to die. But then, just as suddenly, it was gone. I heard it running away, crashing through the underbrush. I got up, and I could see it in the distance, running away from me. I don't know what happened, but I was the only one who survived that night. I still have nightmares about that ghost, and I can't shake the feeling that it's still out there, somewhere, waiting to kill again. Story - 3: It was the most terrifying experience of my life. I never believed in ghosts, but after that night, I'm a believer. My friends and I were staying in an old house that was said to be haunted. We didn't believe the stories, so we decided to spend the night there. It was a warm summer night, so we left the windows open to cool down the house. We went to bed and soon fell asleep. I was awoken by a noise. At first, I thought it was my friends, but then I realized that they were sound asleep. I got out of bed and followed the noise. It led me to the kitchen, where I saw a dark figure standing over the sink. It was a ghost! The ghost was a tall, thin woman with long, black hair. She was wearing a white dress that was stained with blood. She turned to look at me, and I saw that her eyes were red and her mouth was dripping with blood. She opened her mouth to speak, and I heard a voice that sounded like it was coming from the depths of Hell. "I'm thirsty," the ghost said. "I need blood." I was so terrified that I couldn't move. I just stood there and stared at the ghost. The ghost floated towards me, and I felt a cold hand touch my face. I screamed, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up in my bed. It was just a dream, but it felt so real. I'm never going to forget that night. I'm never going to forget the most terrifying experience of my life.

Hal
It had been three months since he died. The road to recovery is long and hard, and in this case, also unsuccessful. No matter how much morphine the hospice nurses gave him, he was still in pain. The cancer latched onto every organ it could and would not release its literal death grip on him until every bit of life was gone.

“Isla!” Mia’s voice yells from the kitchen. Her voice is overlapping with at least a hundred others, all packed into my grandparent’s cottage. “Are you going to help me?”
