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.

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.

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.

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.
