When I was 11 years old, I was at home one night. I was watching TV in the living room when I suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the garden. It sounded like rustle, rustle in the grass, and I immediately felt nervous. I remember that my hands were shaking a little because I was trying to imagine what it could be.

Even though I was scared, my curiosity was stronger. I stood up, walked slowly to the door, and opened it just a little. The moon was shining very bright that night, and everything looked mysterious. I could see something moving in the shadows, and my heart started beating really fast. For a second, I thought it might be something dangerous.

But then I realized the truth and laughed out loud, it was only a cat playing with a plastic bag! I felt much better and also a little silly for being so afraid. After that, I closed the door quickly, went back to the sofa, and continued watching TV, but I kept thinking about how scary and funny the moment was at the same time.

My friend Romina was 17 years old when something strange happened to her. One afternoon she went to the forest, and it was already late when she returned home. At first, she felt normal, but later her stomach began to hurt. She couldn’t walk well, she couldn’t eat, and the light bothered her eyes. Day after day, she felt weaker. Her aunt and grandmother were very worried, so they took her to Cuenca to see a shaman. The shaman asked her to dress in white. Then he used a guinea pig to do a “limpia.” Romina had two sessions, but in the process strange things happened: the car broke down, a tire exploded, and she felt fear and sadness because she wasn’t herself. After the two sessions, she began to feel better. Four months later, she was finally free from the spirit. From that day on, Romina learned to pray and to value her faith.

Last Halloween, Yinail, Andy, and I accepted a challenge from our university group. The challenge was to visit an old abandoned house at night. People were saying that the house was haunted and that it's a really disgusting place because it's dirty, so we felt nervous but also excited. We decided to go together, with flashlights in our hands,trying to be brave.

When we arrived, the house looked big and very quiet. The windows were broken, and the door made a terrible noise when we pushed it open. Inside, it was cold, dark, and full of dust. Every step made the floor creak. We climbed the stairs carefully, and when we reached the second floor, we found old photos, letters, and objects from the people who once lived there. It felt strange, almost like they had just left the house and never came back.

Suddenly, we heard noises from upstairs. First, it was just a soft sound, but then it grew louder and louder. At the same time, we heard whispers—long, cold whispers that made us stop breathing. Our hearts were beating and beating so fast. Andy whispered, “Did you hear that?” and Yinail grabbed my arm.

Even though we were scared, we decided to investigate. Step by step, we went up to the top floor. Then, out of nowhere, a loud bang made us jump. We screamed and screamed, thinking a ghost was coming.

But after a few seconds, we discovered the truth. The loud bangs came from a tree outside hitting the windows with the wind, and the whispers were just air passing through holes in the walls of the old house.

We laughed and laughed in relief. The fear slowly disappeared, and we walked out of the house together, smiling and talking about how brave we had been. We were proud because we had completed the challenge.

Last summer, my friends Melanny, Fernando, and I were camping near a lake. One night, we sat by the fire telling scary stories. Suddenly, we saw strange lights across the water. They moved and moved, getting brighter every second.                                Melanny whispered, “It’s an Unidentified Flying Object!” Fernando grabbed a stick like it was a sword. I wanted to scream and scream. We were sure something terrible was coming.                                                             Just then, a loud voice called out—it was the park ranger with a flashlight! He was checking the area to make sure campers were safe. We laughed and laughed when we realized the “Unidentified Flying Object!” was only his light.

When I was 12, we lived in an old wooden house. One summer evening, I was sitting in the living room watching a scary movie. It was totally dark, the wind was blowing strongly, and the rain was hitting the windows.

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise from the attic: scrape… scrape… scrape… I was terrified and kept listening. My heart was beating fast, and I felt completely frightened.

The suspense grew while I imagined something horrible above me. Finally, my dad arrived, ran upstairs, and checked. A moment later, he came down smiling. The surprise was simple but funny: a long branch was scratching the roof all the time.

When we were 15 years old, It was winter and we liked to walk in Metropolitan Park to go hiking with our pets for health. A Saturday afternoon, we wanted to go further and explore a part of the park that we had never seen before. At first we talked, laughed and felt excited for the trip.We lost track of time and watched as the sky turned dark so we couldn't see well. Suddenly we heard footsteps behind us and we held the dogs leashes and we started walking faster because the park was so quiet, we felt frightened. 15 minutes later after running non-stop, we became tired and decided to sit down to catch our breath. Our faces felt hot, the cold air hit us, the trees were swaying, the ground was damp, and our pants got wet when we sat down. We started talking about what we heard, and one of us said she had seen it. It was a shadow, it was very dark and tall. We screamed, and our dogs barked loudly. While we were screaming, this dark figure approached. Then we saw his face and laughed, it was just the park guard.

Integrantes: Jesus Pillapa, Bryan Castillo. We often listened to stories about the park in my city. People said that small goblins were living inside every tree. It was summer, and many families were walking in the park at night. Some people were laughing, others were talking, but suddenly the air became totally silent. At that moment, someone said he saw little figures moving around the trees. The goblins were walking and walking, as if they were looking for shiny coins on the ground. Some people screamed and ran away, saying they didn’t see anything unusual. But others swore they saw the goblins clearly, although their faces looked nervous, as if they were lying. My cousin and I were sitting on a bench, and we could only hear strange whispers in the dark. But we dind’t see anything. The same Bryan in his park town, he didn't see any goblin.

My friends and I decided to go camping for the weekend. It was totally dark, and the night was frightening. We set up our tents near a dark forest, and when night fell, we sat around the campfire telling scary stories.

At first, everything was fun. We laughed and got a little scared with the ghost stories. But suddenly, something changed… we started hearing strange noises from the trees: branches were cracking, leaves were rustling as if someone was walking, and a whisper seemed to call our names.

We froze while we were listening, and fear began to grow. A shadow moved quickly between the trees, and when a sharp scream rang out, we jumped.

Trembling, we scrambled into our tent, zipping it shut. We were certain a monstrous creature was circling us. While we were waiting in silence, we heard another sound, a deep growl, and we held each other, too terrified to scream.

Suddenly, one of our friends walked into the camp, laughing.
“Hey! I was trying to scare you last night, but you all already sounded terrified! What happened?”

The “whisper” was our friend trying to mimic a ghost. The “growl” was just his hungry stomach. We laughed with relief, but in that dark forest, the monster had felt completely real.

It was a Friday afternoon when our class went on a trip to the mountains. At the beginning, it was exciting, we were hiking, taking photos of the tall trees, and sharing snacks while resting on the rocks. The air was fresh, and we laughed as we explored small caves along the path. Later, as we walked deeper into the forest, the atmosphere changed. The path grew darker, the shadows looked frightening, and the wind made a strange, whispering sound. Suddenly, heavy clouds appeared, and it started raining. We felt tired, worried, and even terrified. Then, out of nowhere, a loud crash echoed behind us. Everyone screamed, thinking it was something dangerous. A moment later, we saw it was only a tree falling. We felt relieved, but that scary Friday adventure is something I will never forget.

Last winter, on Monday afternoon, I was at home alone cleaning my room when suddenly I heard a loud knock at the door. At first, I thought it was my mom or dad but when I opened it, there was nobody there. I felt confused and a little scared. Then, while I was closing the door, I heard the knock again, this time even louder. I was terrified, but also curious. Slowly, I opened the door one more time… and again, no one was outside. The street was empty and very quiet. I decided to wait by the window, and after a few seconds I saw something strange: My neighbor's dog was jumping against my door, playing with a ball. I felt relieved but also a little embarrassed because I was so afraid of a dog’s game, then my neighbor called her dog back and she apologized to me for that scary situation.

She lived in a small village surrounded by mountains and rivers. Everyone knew her because she had very long, shiny black hair that almost touched her waist. One evening, while she was walking back from the market, she suddenly felt a strange presence. She turned around and, in the shadows, she saw a little elf hiding behind a wall.

At first, she thought it was just her imagination. But the next day, while she was washing clothes by the river, the elf appeared again, standing on a rock and staring at her. Later, she even saw him near the church and outside her window at night.

She became nervous and walked faster every time, but the elf always followed her. Finally, one night, she looked into the mirror in her room and the elf was standing right behind her, smiling. She felt frightened when she saw him smiling.

When I was 12, I loved riding my bike with my cousin. One Saturday afternoon, we were riding around the neighborhood while the sun was setting. It was a quiet, relaxing evening, and we felt excited and free. Suddenly, while I was telling my cousin a funny story, we heard a strange, frightening noise behind us. It sounded like something was chasing us. We were scared and started pedaling faster and faster. My cousin looked back, and then she laughed. Guess what it was? A little puppy was running after us, barking loudly. We felt so relieved and a little embarrassed. It was scary at first, but in the end it was just cute.
