Who finds Scary Stories scary, and good stories to tell?

Do they freak you out? Share your scary stories and why they freaked you out.

My mate told me one, but it's real so its really scared me + its near where i live. :S

"A babysitter went to babysit this well, baby. Bout an hour after parents left, babysitter heard baby crying. She went upstairs and saw the baby was screaming at a lifesize clown on top of the wardrobe tht was staring at her.

She went downstairs n rang parents on her mobile and asked where she could put the clown cos it was scaring the baby, but they said they didn't own a lifesize clown.

Freaked out the babysitter ran upstairs and grabbed the baby. The clown was watching them.

She ran outside with the baby and called the police. as she did this, she saw the clown stood staring at them through the window so she legged it further down the street to her mates house. The police got back to her n said that he'd gotton away and she gave a description. It turns out the clown was a pedophile who dressed up as a clown n stared at little kids.

That story has really freaked me out and I have to check everywhere now! Man! *shivers *

How wierd though?!

    first of all, this is not a real story, it's an urban legend. there are adaptations of it, and the clown supposedly is a serial killer.

    you can take a look at this, if you'd like: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/statue.asp

    and secondly, IF this was real, you must know that pedophiles do not just *stare* at kids; they do much more to them.

    i'm sorry to ruin it for you.

    Bozo is back in town. I was just thinking about clowns and there was a time when the drunk person was often watched and laughed at because of all the stumbling around from drinking so much liquor, but i guess that image did not sit well for long and the clown story might actually be one of our lessons to learn. Not to laugh at the town bozo's or we might just have a visit from his/her sibling.

    I'm pretty desensitized to scary things, but clowns scare me. I can sit through The Exorcist and not bat an eye, but i can't sit through stephen king's IT without locking all the doors and getting a blanket.

    i love creepy tales and i know that one. it is very common and very scary. here are some others you might like to look at:

    In America there was a mass murder. Policemen went to investigate. Trying not to tread on the bodies, the police took pictures of each one. One policemen saw something on the opposite wall but he couldn't read it. He walks over to it and sees the numbers "7734" in calculator form, written in blood. When taking pictures of this he turned his camera upside-down and told an approaching police officer. When he pointed with the hand that the camera was in, he accidentally took a picture of the upside-down numbers. The policeman was about to delete the picture when he realized something. The numbers were now a word. The word was "hELL." Submitted by Olivia

    I come from Canberra, the capital of Australia. Just out of Canberra, on the way to Sydney, there's a huge lake, called "Lake George." These days, as Canberra and it's surrounding area is faced with one of it's worst droughts in years, you would never guess that not that long ago it was filled with water, at times overflowing onto the road. Many people spent fun summers fishing and swimming there, but not everyone had such happy times. Many people lost their lives there, and there are stories about ghostly sightings that go around Canberra. One of the best-known is that if you drive past the Lake George at night by yourself and look in the rear-vision mirror, you'll see someone sitting in the back seat of your car. There have also been reports of ghost trucks and cars that drive along the highway late at night when few cars are traveling. Legend by freaky_bacon

    There is an urban legend in my town of Kokomo, Indiana. We have many urban legends in fact, but there's one in particular. The story is set on Old Sycamore Road which an old road in the farmland, and open field area of my town. There's a small bridge off Old Sycamore Road that takes you onto another road, and it takes you to the next town. The story goes a man, or a boy fell off the bridge, and died once hitting their head on the rocks underneath the bridge, and if you were to drive on Old Sycamore Road at night, and you were to cross that bridge, then the "ghost" of the man, or boy appear next to your car once you pass the exact spot they had fallen from until you exit the bridge. My friends and I have tested this urban legend many times, and we have yet to see anything. We don't even know if anyone really died there, but true or false, it's an interesting, and eerie story, and visual. Submitted by Jon

    There's a bridge called "Covert's Crossing" or "Covert's Bridge" up in New Castle. A young couple had gotten married on Halloween. Around midnight, they were riding in a horse drawn carriage across the bridge at the same time a car was. The bridge was only one lane, so by the time they saw each other it was too late. Story has it that they crashed and the hubcap of the car flew off, decapitating the bride. The police never found her head or the body of the groom. Its been said that if you sit on the bridge on Halloween night around midnight, you can see the headless bride standing on some rocks in the river. However they don't know if she is looking for her head or her lost love. Submitted by Courtnie

    The legend is that if you sit in three of the graveyard chairs from midnight until one minute after midnight, you will have the ability to see ghosts -- but you will pay with your life. This, however did not apply to three high-school football players on Halloween Night in 1976. They pulled into the graveyard, in the middle of a large, open area. They had heard the legend and decided to try it, but one of them refused to try it. The friend sat down and watched the other boys run from one chair to the other. Then he sensed that something was wrong. They were leaning over to the side with their eyes rolled back, rasping. The boy began frantically screaming for help as his friends kneeled over and grabbed his leg. It is said that the boy also saw spirits for an instant. The boys died and the survivor never spoke a word. Of course, there were people mourning their loved ones nearby. They witnessed the event and filed a police report detailing what happened. No one really knows what those chairs are, except that they have been there since the town was founded. Submitted by Kyle

    In Fairmont, West Virginia, there is a small house and rumor has it that the house is haunted. My mom told me a story about when she was a young girl, the house was occupied by a family who no one really knew anything about. Everyone in the neighborhood was afraid of them. My mom went to school with the youngest girl in the family, who looked tired all the time and never spoke a word. Her dad was even more scarier and looked as if he was always mad. The girl seemed afraid of him. Nobody thought this was unusual because everyone was afraid of him, until one night. The police were
