October topic: Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark

Imagine sitting around a campfire at night listening to scary stories being told by your friends. Now it's your turn. What scary story will you tell? I suggest we write a scary story that we would tell in the dark.

My inspiration for this topic came from the book series Scary Stores to Tel in The Dark  written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell.  The scary stories of the books are actually derived urban legends and folklore from different regions of the United States.

For your scary story, feel free to adapt an urban legend for folk tale, or come up with one of your own.
