The Black Sash- By Dilsha Dinesh XI A
Sam loved to flirt with death. People thought he was a madman to challenge the devil. They confirmed his insanity when he bought that house down in Elm Street. The story of how a son brutally chopped down his father for power is not just a bedtime story.
It was a chilly winter night when Sam and his wife moved in to that historic mansion. He deliberately pushed away the chills running down his spine when he, along with his wife, were strolling down what seems like a never ending hallway filled with portraits of the ones who are almost 6-feet under the ground by now.
After sometime his wife announced that she is going to bed and went off towards the bedroom. Sam was staring at a portrait of the father who was murdered by his own son. Suddenly he heard sounds as if chalk was being scratched on a board. He turned around only to be faced by a man with a cleaver in his hand and his clothes dripping with blood. He recognized the creature in front of him as the man in the portrait. Sam grew paler than the creature in front of him and his throat went dry.
Within a blink, the man was gone! He thought it must be because he was tired and decided to finally get some shut eye. He went to his bedroom to find his lovely wife fast asleep. He noticed the black sash she always loved to wear still on her neck. Thinking it might be uncomfortable for her, he removed it only to see her head roll and drop to the ground.

“Hello”- By Sadira XI A
“Hello”.
Clair turned around to find a woman staring up at her. She asked “yes?” and the woman just stared at her and Clair, who is usually not the one to loose temper, got really impatient that the woman is just staring at her. She was taken back when her mom nudged her to have her attention and snapped her back to find the woman gone. They decided to have food at a local restaurant where she saw the woman again at a mirror staring at her, only to find there was no on behind. By the time she reached home she was exhausted by all the shopping and started watching TV only to find a guy breaking down on the news channel for his lost wife. “Lillian was a very sweet lady” pause.sob.pause. “She was acting all gloomy and strange yesterday and but” more sobbing “no she won’t kill herself” now that guy is just screaming at the reporter. And then the photo of the lady was shown and Clair froze. It was the same one from the day.
“Hello”
She turned around.

FAREWELL- By Hanna Abdul Khader XI-B
She knew her sudden decision of discovering the secret door of her new house won’t lead to a happy ending. She turned on the torch with shaky hands. She went down the stairs. The room was so silent that she could listen to her own heartbeats. She looked around the room and saw blood marks on the wall. She regretted her decision when she heard someone sing beside her. It was inaudible but it gave her creeps. She wanted to get out that room as soon as possible. So she ran up the stairs but only to be brought flying back by an unknown force. She hit her head really bad and she felt blood dripping down from her head. Her torch flew from her hand and now she was in darkness. The only source of light was the moonlight. She squinted her eyes into the darkness and saw a figure forming in it. The first thing she noticed was the blood red eyes staring at her wickedly. That figure came near her and smiled at her. “That smile is the indication of my death” she thought to herself. The figure raised her hand and the knife shined in the moonlight. She closed her eyes to welcome her death. FAREWELL said the figure……”and cut! It was a good shot. Both of you did it really well” told the director to the lead heroine and the ‘ghost’ who thanked him and removed the red contacts. Both of them laughed and went up the stairs.

THE Unbelievable- By Angana Prathapan- XI A
Lucia never trusted in ghost. It was her friend’s birthday party, while they were celebrating it suddenly the lights went off and later they found that it was because of the power cut. So they went to the backyard for playing. It was gloomy outside. After some time….slowly the place was surrounded by darkness, fog and mist. They started hearing screams, howling and cries. And that place turned into a graveyard and they were in the middle of the graveyard and saw many headless grotesques riding horses and sitting on the carriage marched towards them. They tried to run but they felt like their legs were numb and couldn’t move an inch and by that time they were surrounded by many spirits. Lucia thought that she was dead suddenly lights came and she woke up from her terrible dream which was an after effect of the spine chilling horror movie she saw last night.
The Cottage- By Fouzia Parveen-XI A
Stephen has always been the one who never believed in ghosts. Like any other twelve year old, he did not bother much about it, but was scared of unfamiliar places and sounds. The family decided to go for an outing to their cottage. The cottage was an old one, built many years ago and the adjoining area of land belonged to a king’s family. But the land was said to be their family graveyard now. Anyone in the family who die would be buried there. The land was almost filled with graves. When Stephen arrived at his cottage, he liked his room on the first floor of the cottage, from where he could view the cleanest graveyard he had ever seen. He enjoyed the first day at the cottage, but the night was horrible. The chill atmosphere, the spine – chilling silence and the gloom in his room terrified him. Then he knew he could not sleep. The sounds of silence, the noises of insects and horrid sounds kept him awake all night. He would just think of different sounds he could hear and numerous questions would flood in his brain, was it the branches of the nearby tree, or fingernails against the window? The silence was broken by a wicked laughter of a woman that can be heard from the graveyard. Stephen could not even walk due to the darkness and he fell. As he was trying to go downstairs , he saw a creature that looked like an old woman who pointed her index finger to the graveyard and wrote on a paper ‘ CROWN – GRAVE – FAMILY – SYMBOL ‘ . Stephen could not read so the woman lit a magical candle. Stephen read but could not understand how were the words related. And within a few seconds, the paper turned blank and that woman was disappeared. Stephen never understood the mystery and never since that night had he gone to the cottage and always said that ghosts do exist and what people say that there are no ghosts, is a myth.

THE SAVAGERY…By Raniya Azad-XI A
Her impudent attitude left her alone in that large bungalow. The abnormal mist and fog was weird and with its squeaking appearance expressed an incoherent idea. The chain rattling sound made her bones feel cold and paralyzed. Suddenly she experienced an uncanny atmosphere and hid herself under the bed near the open window .The bitterness of cold kept on increasing and it was menacingly dark which created terrible fear in her heart. Suddenly she heard wicked laughers, shrills, deathly cries which created terrible shivers of fear in her. She leaned close to the wall. Suddenly a boneless wrinkled long nailed hand pierced into her throat. She screamed to the core of her voice and another one eyed head came near her and said: “don’t worry Lucy I am there with you and you are not alone”. She tried to take the pierced hand from her throat and due to the force of taking it blood spilt on her face and when she wiped her face and opened her eyes, she realized that it was her mother who was waking her up for school by spraying water which acted as blood in her nightmare. So lazily she woke up and went to do her daily chores.

NEVER COME HERE! IT’S DANGEROUS! By Joann Maria-XI B
She opened the door of the cottage and silently, she entered the room, it was a huge hall in front of her, with all the spider web hanging around. She spoke to herself “Anyway I wanted a place to stay for few days…So, why not this places, but I have lots of work to do. So let’s start” So she went to switch on the lights. Suddenly she saw someone peeping through the next room so she decided to check. When she went there, no one was there, but a long white sheet “Oh god! It was just this white sheet I got so scared.” Then she cleaned the room and by 8:00pm, she was done. So she decided to go to restaurant to get something to eat. She sat in her car and drove off. By 11:00pm, she was back “uff so tired just need my bed, Yo bed I am back, Did you miss me? Yeah I know you did.” She switched off the light and went to sleep…suddenly she heard a tapping on the window, she asked “whose there?” No reply was there so she thought it would be her imagination so she ignored. Suddenly she heard a manly voice singing from the hall. The song was “LONELY NIGHT! YOU AND ME ALONE THE CANDLES ARE BLOWN OFF” So she went to check but there was no one then she switched on the light and still couldn’t find any one. She turned back and there was a man in white color dress, with white color powder all over his face and tears in red color, whose face was turning. She screamed in horror and took her car keys and ran outside, and a message was written with blood “NEVER COME BACK OR ELSE I WILL MARRY YOU.”
Horror night- By Mijuna Mujeeb-XI B
When I was standing in the bus stop waiting for my school bus I felt that someone was standing behind me, when I turn back no one was there but something was written on the floor with blood “I love u, I will not leave without you”. I was shocked and ran back to my home. Next day also the same incident happened. In that night, I took my old story book to read and when I turned the page I saw the same thing written and it scared me. I threw that book away and I ran to my bed with shivers of fear. I try to sleep but I was not able to. I laid on my bed and turn left side and found something moving from my blanket; when I move the blanket but I don’t find anything. When I placed my feet on the ground, I felt like my feet was getting wet. Reluctantly I looked down slowly only to find blood with her reflection in it. Quickly I took my feet back
while wondering what to do, the blood started disappearing and noises were heard from under my bed. I rose to my feet and froze. Screaming was not a choice. No voice came out. Slowly the noises from under the bed started turning into clear voice of someone speaking. It was my friend who died a month ago in an accident on the road. She told me how much she loves me. After listening to this I wanted to turn on the lights. When I learned towards the lamp to turn it on, she caught my hand and I freaked out. I wondered what this is up to, while I realized the actual meaning of “I love you and I will not leave without you”. I pathetically froze once again. I did not know what to do. I wanted to fight back but couldn’t. My energy was getting drained. I was scared of seeing her. I did not want to see her…….
A WINTER NIGHT -By Nihala Basheer XI B

There was pin-drop silence in the classroom. She was really afraid to sit there. Suddenly she heard some noise from her back. She turned to that side but she couldn’t see anyone. Then she looked around the classroom she saw a spider-web which made her more scared. The spider-web seemed like a person’s face but she couldn’t understand who that is. She couldn’t even cry or make any type of noise. Suddenly her chair shacked. She thought she will fall but she did not. Then it seemed like everything around her started shaking and a loud cry, howling and a murmuring sound appeared. Lucia can hear a girl’s sound in between. She turned back and looked around. Suddenly the window at the side of the classroom opened and it showed a view of a graveyard. In the graveyard a girl was standing but her face was not clear.
