An Unexpected Gift
Chris saw the drone flying away from his apartment and raised an eyebrow. He hadn't ordered anything, certainly nothing that a drone would deliver, and he came up the stairs two at a time before his crackhead neighbors came out to steal it. Calling them crackheads might have seemed a little disparaging, but Chris had actually come home and found them smoking crack on the front porch, so he thought it more than fair. The Palm Breeze weekly rentals were far from posh, but they were the best he could afford. Chris had a dead-end job that barely paid him minimum wage and hardly worked him part-time these days. He was behind on his rent, looking at ramen noodles for dinner again, and, if he was lucky, he might get halfway through tonight's football game before they shut his cable off.

Empty
Tomas peered down at the box on his porch, and the box stared back. He leaned against his door, still clutching its knob in his right hand. His shoulder and head hugged around it the way one might do on a winter's night, wanting to look out, but afraid of being cold.

Dave knew something was off from the moment the knife sliced into the turkey, but he put it out of his mind as he served the meat to his guests.

The Monster Under the Bed
Desks always creek. The metal of their legs, thin like a starving child, always seem to make a noise that scrapes the inside your ears.

The Most Terrifying Paranormal Cases in Human History
In the past, people believed in ghosts and spirits. Their words were taken as gospel because they had no way of disproving them. For centuries, these ghost stories were told and retold and embellished on until today many people still believe them to be accurate. Whether it’s an old abandoned house, a dark forest, or a creepy graveyard, there are innumerable places that are famous for being haunted. However, the paranormal isn’t just confined to locations — Specific events have also been recorded as having happened repeatedly over time. If you’re interested in learning about some of the most terrifying paranormal cases in human history, keep reading! The Shadow People: The first terrifying paranormal case we’re going to talk about is that of the Shadow People. The general idea behind this is that people will experience the presence of shadow beings that you can’t see but can feel. You feel a buzzing sensation on your skin, and you hear heavy breathing just behind you. The scariest part of this is the fact that no one knows what these creatures are. Are they ghosts? Are they demons? Are they something we’ve never seen before? It’s incredibly terrifying not knowing what is going on, and this is why the Shadow People are considered one of the most terrifying paranormal cases in human history. St. Clair Asylum: St. Clair Asylum is located in Pennsylvania and is thought to be the basis for the popular horror film, The Silence of the Lambs. The asylum is said to be haunted by the ghosts of patients who were tortured, neglected, and abused during the mid-20th century. The stories say that the building was once a beautiful and extravagant structure, but after a doctor murdered his wife in the building, it turned into a terrifying haunted house. St. Clair Asylum has been investigated by paranormal experts and journalists from all over the world and is believed to be one of the most haunted places in the whole world. SCP-087: SCP-087 is a harmless looking haunted house that was created by a person named Regalis. You can access the game on any computer or gaming console, and it has become incredibly popular because of its extreme jump scares. One thing that makes SCP-087 so terrifying is the fact that there are no visual cues of a lurking monster or anything that could be classed as paranormal. The game is set in an abandoned house, and the player must use a flashlight to navigate the building. The goal is to find the exit, but you must also avoid the terrifying creatures that lurk in the darkness. It’s a very simple game, but the extreme jump scares make it one of the most terrifying paranormal cases in human history. The Wendigo: The Wendigo is a cannibalistic monster that has been recorded in both Native American and Canadian folklore. The Wendigo is a type of evil spirit that takes the form of a human, but it can also make its victim look like a Wendigo. The Wendigo’s victim will become extremely thin and will lose their appetite for food. The Wendigo will then make them go out into the wilderness to find more food. The Wendigo is known for its extreme hunger, and it will consume anything that it can find — even if it’s human flesh. This is one of the most terrifying paranormal cases in human history because it shows the extreme lengths that a monster will go to in order to feed itself. Haunted Doll: Robert the Doll: Robert the Doll is a doll that was created by a man named Henry in the early 1900s. The doll was used as a toy for Henry’s friend’s child, but it quickly became something much more than a toy. The child’s parents began to notice that the child would often become hysterical and have outbursts of anger. It was discovered that these outbursts were triggered whenever the child was near the doll. The parents decided to get rid of the doll, but it was brought back to the child when the parents were away. The doll was moved from room to room and would often be seen to move on its own. It had a strange pull on the child, and he couldn’t let it go. The doll was locked up, but it found a way to escape and terrorized the child to the point where it was taken to a doctor. The doctor discovered that the doll was haunted by the spirit of a toymaker who had been murdered many years before. The spirit had possessed the doll and had been using it to try and find a new host. The Real Life Tale of Victor and Nikolai Kedrov: This paranormal case has been debated for years between paranormal experts and is also one of the most terrifying paranormal cases in human history. The real life tale of Victor and Nikolai Kedrov is a story about ghost children. The two brothers are said to have been playing near a railway when they were hit and killed by a train. The boys’ mother was distraught and often heard the sound of a train whistle in the middle of the night. After a while, the mother began to hear the sound of her two sons playing in the house. The mother had had enough, and she decided to move away. After moving a few miles away, the mother was able to get a good night’s sleep. The mother had no idea that her sons were haunting the place they had been killed. Summary: This concludes our list of the most terrifying paranormal cases in human history. These are cases that have been witnessed, documented, and recorded as fact. Are these paranormal cases terrifying? Yes, they are. Are they also factual? Yes, they are. The paranormal is real, and there are many cases that prove it.

Old Tom
Lisa saw him sitting on the back porch, his ax laid across his lap. "Tom?" she asked, coming up behind him to put a hand on his shoulder.

Catastrophic Life
I didn’t mean to run away! Oh dear… I hope I won’t get into too much trouble. I just got so scared of the mist cloud as it was rapidly flooding into the city that I panicked. My mind went absent and my limbs wouldn’t let me anywhere else than the park. The housing mother was so angry. She kept shouting over and over again to come back, but I couldn’t. No matter how much I wanted to turn back to the comfort of my bedroom and sturdy walls. I went to the closest and safest place I knew.

Come here, boy. Go, don't be afraid
I would like to tell a story from my childhood. In principle, there is no horror as such in this, but it's still unclear to me.

Do Not Enter the Woods
All residents who reside in Grayvine Village, has been told just one simple rule; Do Not Enter the Woods. It was plain and concise, just as all other laws that have been around since the beginning of time, but this rule was the most important, in all ways imaginable. No matter how long you have been in Grayvine, whether you were fifth generation, first generation, anywhere in between or just passing through, no matter your age, you were told as often as possible, Do Not Enter the Woods. Every child attending the Grayvine Primary School, every teenager who was enrolled at Grayvine Secondary and every young adult who studied in Grayvine Institute Further Education Centre was reminded each day on the way out of the school gates. Each week, at every place of work, an alert was sent out to every member of staff on the books phone, whether they were at work, had a day off at home or across the globe on holiday, had parental leave, sick leave, or anything else, reminding them of this rule, it was that imperative that it was not forgotten or broken.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Vampires vs the Bronx' (2020)
Okay, maybe it's on me going into this expecting Attack the Block (2011). That's a really high bar and frankly, there aren't many that live up to it. Needless to say, I went into this with high expectations so keep that in mind as I proceed. And just to get it out of the way, I actually do recommend you give this movie a shot. Horror Heads, even general pg-13 audience.

Night Shift
It was apparent that no one wanted the night security position at the aquarium. The last three guards had quit. All three had inexplicably not shown up for their shifts, with no notice.
