One of my favorite books to read during the Halloween season is an old one. I'm not even sure if you could still buy it. It's called "Ghosts Along the Cumberland" by William L. Montell. It's a collection of ghosts stories & deathlore from south central Kentucky.
The fact that most of the stories are short means that, even when I don't have a lot of time, I can still manage to read a few each night. This is one reason I like the book so much.

I don't have a favorite book as though I have a favorite series, 99 Fear Street. I don't know the name of my favorite book in the series, but I know its the second one. In the book they made a movie about what happened in the first book. People start mysteriously getting hurt and they never finish the movie. One of the two sisters in the first book is dead, and her ghost takes over her sisters body and starts hurting other people. You really should read it.

I have never really enjoyed reading scary stories. But I do enjoy watching the t.v. show "Supernatural." In "Supernatural," the two main characters in the show are Sam and Dean, they work together, on FBI cases, to hunt down and kill the werewolves, ghouls, vampires, ghosts, or any other scary creature that was killing, hanging, or even eating the people, who were being killed. It is a different creature on each show.

I am not really fond of reading scary books , but I do really LOVE scary movies. I got it from my mommy. My favorite show is "American horror stories." The one that I watched last night was about these two girls that found a dead man that was torn to pieces, sewed him back together, and he came back to life.

My favorite scary story is Black Aggie. It goes like this...When Felix Agnus put up the life-sized shrouded bronze statue of a grieving angel, seated on a pedestal, in the Agnus family plot in the Druid Ridge Cemetery, he had no idea what he had started. The statue was a rather eerie figure by day, frozen in a moment of grief and terrible pain. At night, the figure was almost unbelievably creepy; the shroud over its head obscuring the face until you were up close to it. There was a living air about the grieving angel, as if its arms could really reach out and grab you if you weren't careful.

My favorite spooky/funny book is "Junie B Jones monster under her bed." Its spooky/funny because Junie thinks theres a monster under her bed. Theres drool on her pillow at night,so thats why she thinks theres a monster.

My all time favorite story is " The Witch with the Broken Broomstick" I love to read it around Halloween somebody always tells it to me its like a tradition it seems like. It is sort of funny, but its really not that scary,but some of it is. The witch goes into the woods to trys to find someone that will fix her broomstick, while she was looking stuff started following her, once a jack-o-latern, shoes, a shirt,pants, and a scarecrow. They all tried getting in to her house. For some reason that will probably always be my favorite Halloween book.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and when it gets around that holiday everything is spooky. One of my favorite spooky books is All The Lovely Bad Ones by: Mary Downing Hahn. Its about these two kids who go around pranking in a hotel, and its all fun and games until they awake the ghosts at rest there. Its really a really good book and I would advice reading it if you love creepy stories.

My favorite story is the babysitter and the man upstairs! In this classic urban legend dating from the 1960s, a teenage babysitter calls the police after receiving prank phone calls from a creepy stranger. "Have you checked the children?" the man keeps asking. While waiting for a patrol car to arrive, the babysitter has a terrifying realization: the stranger is calling her from inside the house!

Here's a scary story: A babysitter taking care of two small children called their parents late in the evening to ask for permission to cover up the life-size clown statue in the corner of the family room. "It's not that I don't like it," she said. "It just kind of freaks me out with nobody else here. It's hard to watch TV." The parents' reaction to her request freaked her out even more. "WHAT clown statue???" they asked, frantically. "Dial 911! Call the police!! do it now!
