From stories you can’t even talk about with dying, to girls living in shadows waiting to drag you to Hell, we count 15 scary stories told around the campfires of history

15 – The White Death,

• A story from Scotland about a little girl who hated life – so much to the point that she wanted to destroy everything and everyone she knew
• She committed suicide, and only a few days later each member of her family were murdered – their limbs torn apart
• The legend goes that upon learning about the girl’s death, her ghost finds you and knocks on your door, slowly knocking louder and louder until you open it and she kills you

14 – Dead Dog,

• The tale goes, a kid is sleeping in her bed when she hears the sound of tap water, so she heads over the faucet and tries to plug it up
• When she returns to the bed, she lets her arm drape over the side to let her dog lick her fingers – which it does
• The dripping continues, but not from the faucet – she checks her shower only to discover her dead dog, dripping blood, with a note on top that reads, “Humans can lick, too”

13 – Cow Head,

• A Japanese legend about a story so haunted that simply telling it usually leads to death – one group of students were taken on a field trip, and on the bus the teacher decides to tell a scary story
• As he begins the story called Cow Head, he gets more intense and involved – foaming at the mouth – the students yell for him to stop but he can’t
• All of them were later found with the bus in a ditch, all foaming in a sort of trance – all of them had blocked out the Cow Head story and wouldn’t even discuss it afterwards, some even died a few days later

12 – Cosmetic Sesame,

• A South Korea story about a girl super conscious of her own looks – she heard about a new beauty treatment involving soaking alongside sesame seeds in bath water
• She decided to give it a go in her own bath, but several hours later her mother got worried and forced open the door when her daughter refused to
• She was horrified to find the girl crouched in a corner of the room with seeds lining every wrinkle and pore in her body, roots visibly growing insider her skin while she attempted to painfully remove them all with a toothpick

11 – Girl From The Gap,

• The spirit of a Japanese girl who lives between the darkened gaps of furniture, doors and drawers waiting for you to meet her gaze
• She will then ask you to play hide and seek, and the next time you meet her, she will pull you into the gap and drag you to either Hell or an entirely new dimension
