[quote]The Big Toe
A boy was digging at this edge of his family's garden when he saw a toe poking out from the dirt. He tried to dig it out of the dirt, but it was stuck to something. The boy gave a great tug and the toe came out of the ground. He then heard a groan and something scamper away. he showed the toe to his mom. She said, "This'll be great to add to the soup tonight." So, the mother cut the toe into 3 pieces and put them into the soup. Later that night, after the boy ate supper, he felt tired and went to bed. he was awakened at midnight by a groaning in the street. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" it groaned. The boy got very scared. But he thought, "He doesn't know where I am, it won't find me." Then the groan again, but it was in front of his house. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" the boy tried to sleep, he thought it was just his imagination. But then he heard the front door open, and he heard the groan again. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" The boy heard footsteps slowly move through the kitchen into the dining room, then into the living room. He then heard footsteps slowly climbing the stairs. Closer the footsteps came. They were right outside his door. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" The do0or opened. The boy was shaking with fear. He listened as the footsteps moved closer through the dark room to his bed. Then they stopped. "Where is my to-o-o-o-o-e?" The voice groaned...[/quote]

Room for One More A man named Josh went to New York City on a business trip. He stayed with his friends in a apartment outside the city. They talked about life in New York and Michigan, where Josh lived. When Josh went to bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He heard a car pull up into the driveway, and saw the headlights shine through his window. He wondered who would come this late. He looked outside and saw a long, black hearse, with many people inside of it. The hearse driver looked at him, and said, "There is room for one more." Josh stayed in his room, and the driver drove off after a couple of minutes. The next day, Josh went to one of the many office buildings in New York City for his business meeting. He went up the elevator to the top floor, and went to the meeting. After the meeting, he went to the elevator to go back down. The doors opened, and he saw the elevator was very crowded. "Room for one more.", he heard a man say quietly. Josh looked at the group of people and saw the Hearse driver. "No thanks, I'll wait for the next elevator." Josh said. The elevator doors closed, and the Elevator started it's journey down. Josh heard a scraping noise, and many screams and shrieks. The elevator cable had snapped, and the elevator had fallen all 50 floors to the bottom of the shaft. Everyone died. [Edited on 07.05.2008 1:03 PM PDT]

Sounds One time, after a long day of fishing, 3 fisherman were returning from the sea. They got caught in a terrible storm when they reached land, and took shelter in a deserted house near the docks. They found some dry wood next to a fire place, and they lit a fire to warm themselves up. Then they began hearing footsteps coming from the second floor. it sounded like [b]7[/b] people were walking above them. one fisherman called, "Who's up there?" The footsteps stopped. they then heard a woman scream. The scream turning into a groan and died away. blood began to drip from the ceiling. It formed a puddle on the floor. A door upstairs slammed shut, and they heard the womans voice again. "Not me!" She cried. The fisherman heard high heels tap as the woman ran down the upstairs hallway. "I'll get you!" They heard a man scream. Then, silence. It didn't stay quiet for long, though. The man started laughing, a strange, menialcal laughter. The fisherman heard someone dragging something heavy down the stairs, in the room next to them. It was bumping on every step. They heard the object being pulled through the front hall, and out the front door. then, the screen door slammed shut. A flash of lightning struck outside the house, and they say a man in the doorway, staring at them. The fishermen, terrified, ran out the back door into the storm. [Edited on 07.06.2008 7:35 AM PDT]

I'm sure many of you have heard this before, this story is a classic. *I did not write this story. The Hook The reports had been on the radio all day, though she hadn't paid much attention to them. Some crazy man had escaped from the state asylum. They were calling him the Hook Man since he had lost his right arm and had it replaced with a hook. He was a killer, and everyone in the region was warned to keep watch and report anything suspicious. But this didn't interest her. She was more worried about what to wear on her date. After several consultation calls with friends, she chose a blue outfit in the very latest style and was ready and waiting on the porch when her boyfriend came to pick her up in his car. They went to a drive-in movie with another couple, then dropped them off and went parking in the local lover's lane. The blue outfit was a hit, and she cuddled close to her boyfriend as they kissed to the sound of romantic music on the radio. Then the announcer came on and repeated the warning she had heard that afternoon. An insane killer with a hook in place of his right hand was loose in the area. Suddenly, the dark, moonless night didn't seem so romantic to her. The lover's lane was secluded and off the beaten track. A perfect spot for a deranged mad-man to lurk, she thought, pushing her amorous boyfriend away. "Maybe we should get out of here," she said. "That Hook Man sounds dangerous." "Awe, c'mon babe, it's nothing," her boyfriend said, trying to get in another kiss. She pushed him away again. "No, really. We're all alone out here. I'm scared," she said. They argued for a moment. Then the car shook a bit, as if something…or someone…had touched it. She gave a shriek and said: "Get us out of here now!" "Jeeze," her boyfriend said in disgust, but he turned the key and went roaring out of the lover's lane with a screeching of his tires. They drove home in stony silence, and when they pulled into her driveway, he refused to help her out of the car. He was being so unreasonable, she fumed to herself. She opened the door indignantly and stepped into her driveway with her chin up and her lips set. Whirling around, she slammed the door as hard as she could. And then she screamed. Her boyfriend leapt out of the car and caught her in his arms. "What is it? What's wrong?" he shouted. Then he saw it. A bloody hook hung from the handle of the passenger-side door.

*points flashlight under chin* Once upon a time, there was a floodian, he awoke to find himself in the middle of the Halo 3 Forum, and he could never leave! muahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!

Awesome! Your last thread was very successful (duh), but after a while it got too long and messy, and I found myself too lazy to read through everyone's posts; very good idea making a new one, I'm sure we're all excited to find else what else you have in store! Btw: Are these directly from the book (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark), or is the similar title just a coincidence? EDIT: disregard the "btw" text...I didn't read your first post. [Edited on 07.05.2008 12:32 PM PDT]

From the books, but i re-wrote parts of it.
-
Isn't that plagiarism?
-
Well, I re-wrote a lot of it, and I made sure to state that they were from the books... and I'm not using the stories for like a school project or something and taking credit for them, I'm just showing the stories to people. So, no, I don't think it is.
-
Well, as long as you don't call it your own, I guess it's ok...just wanted to clear that up in case you have to answer to higher authority :)
-
i know, right? That'd be a mess! Anyway, i'll post the second story in a bit. [Edited on 07.05.2008 12:44 PM PDT]

now I'll never go back into Halo3 forum,because of the last story.

Once upon a time, John awoke at 6:00 am. The sun was just rising. He went to get a bowl of cereal before work. He ate his breakfast with minutes to spare, and drove off to work. At work, John was vomiting uncontrollably. He vomited up his lungs, heart, stomach and all internal organs. Why did he die? (The milk that he put in his cereal was SPOILED! OMGZ! EWW! CLUMPS!)

One evening I was walking to school. On the way there was many many pieces of bubblegum. When I finally walked into my classroom. I realized in shocking horror what had happened. The National BubbleGum convention was in town. Too the ordinary onlooker this may seem like a very nice occurance, but not for me. Bubblegum killed my father at the age of 44 he ate too much and it stayed in his stomach and killed him. Ever since I had been traumatized due to the mere thought of bubblegum. I couldn't stand it. I packed up my things and was sent on a plane ticket to Bel Air. First Class yo this is bad drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass? Is this what the people of Bel Air living like hmmmmm this might be alright. The plane landed and when I came out there was a dude looking like a cop standed there with my name out. I ain't trying to get arrested yet I just got here I sprang with quickness like lightning disappeared. I looked for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. I could tell that this cab was rare but I said "Ah forgot it, Yo homes to Bel Air." I came up to a house about Seven or Eight and I yelled to the cabbie "Smell ya Later" I looked at my kingdom I was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air.

I hope this one lasts as long as the first.

These stories aren't nearly as good without the creepy as hell illustrations.
