"A Terrible Story" by Evgeny Charushin

The boys Shura and Petya were left alone. They lived in a dacha - near the forest, in a small house. That evening, dad and mom went to visit.

When it got dark, Shura and Petya washed themselves, undressed themselves and went to bed in their beds. They lie and are silent. There is no father or mother.

It's dark in the room. And in the darkness someone is crawling along the wall - rustling ...

Shura and says from his bed:

- I'm not scared at all.

“I’m not at all scared either,” Petya answers from the other bed.

“We are not afraid of thieves,” says Shura.

“We are not afraid of cannibals either,” Petya answers.

“And we are not afraid of tigers,” Shura says.

“They won’t come here,” Petya answers.

And just as Shura wanted to say that he was not afraid of crocodiles, when suddenly they heard... outside the door, in the hallway, someone stamped their feet softly on the floor: thump... thump... thump... thump... thump... thump...

How Petya will rush to Shura on the bed!

They covered their heads with a blanket, pressed against each other. They lie quietly so that no one can hear them.

“Don’t breathe,” Shura says to Petya.

- I'm not breathing.

Top ... top ... slap ... slap ... top ... top ... slap ... slap ... And through the blanket you can still hear someone walking and stomping outside the door.

But then Mom and Dad came. They opened the doors, entered the house, turned on the light. Petya and Shura told them everything.

Then mom and dad lit another lamp and began to look around all the rooms, in all corners. There is no one. And suddenly, along the wall, someone runs into a corner ... He ran and curled up in a corner in a ball. Look - yes it's a hedgehog! He is right, he climbed into the house from the forest.

They wanted to pick him up, but he twitches and pricks with thorns. Then they rolled him up in a hat and took him to the closet. They gave me milk in a saucer and a piece of meat. And then everyone fell asleep.

This hedgehog lived with the guys in the country all summer.

He then puffed and stamped his feet at night, but no one was afraid of him anymore.

4 scariest horror stories of our childhood. You will turn gray as for the first time!

Remember, we told each other in the camps about the red hand and black curtains? And there was always such a master of storytelling, in which a familiar story took on the outlines of a long and exciting thriller no worse than King's.

We recalled four such stories. Don't read them in the dark!

black curtains

One girl's grandmother died. When she was dying, she called the girl's mother to her and said:

Do what you want with my room, but do not hang black curtains there.

They hung white curtains in the room, and now the girl began to live there. And everything was fine.

But one day she went with the bad guys to burn tires. They decided to burn the tires in the cemetery, right on one old grave that had collapsed. They began to argue about who would set it on fire, they drew lots with matches, and it fell out to set fire to the girl. So she set fire to the tire, and from there the smoke will go right into her eyes. Painfully! She screamed, the guys got scared for her and dragged her to the hospital by the hands. But she doesn't see anything.

In the hospital, she was told that it was a miracle that her eyes had not burned out, and they prescribed a regimen - to sit at home with her eyes closed and that the room was always dark and dark. And don't go to school. And no fire can be seen until he recovers!

Then mother began to look for dark curtains in the girl's room. I searched and searched, but there are no dark ones, only white, yellow, green light ones. And black ones. There is nothing to do, she bought black curtains and hung the girl in the room.

The next day my mother hung them up and went to work. And the girl sat down with her homework to write at the table. She sits and feels something touch her elbow. She shook, looked, but there was nothing but curtains next to her elbow. And so several times.

The next day, she feels that something is touching her shoulders. He jumps up, but there is nothing around, only the curtains hang nearby.

On the third day, she immediately moved the chair to the far end of the table. Sitting, writing lessons, and something touches her neck! The girl jumped up and ran to the kitchen, and did not enter the room.

Mom came, the lessons were not written, she began to scold the girl. And the girl began to cry and ask her mother not to leave her in that room.

Mom says:

You can't be such a coward! Look, I will sit at your table all night while you sleep, so that you know that there is nothing to worry about.

In the morning the girl wakes up, calls her mother, but her mother is silent. The girl began to cry loudly from fear, the neighbors came running, and her mother was sitting dead at the table. They took her to the morgue.

Then the girl went to the kitchen, took the matches, returned to the bedroom and set fire to the black curtains. They were burned, but her eyes bled out.

Sister

One girl's father died, and her mother was very poor, did not work and did not know how, and they had to sell the apartment. They went to the old grandmother's house in the village, the grandmother had died two years ago, and no one lived there. But it was decent there, because a neighbor cleaned up there for money. And the girl and her mother began to live there. The girl was far from going to school, and she was given such a certificate that she studies at home, and only goes to school in the regional center by the end of the quarter, so she and her mother sat at home all day, only sometimes they went to the store, also in the district center. And my mother was pregnant, and her belly was growing.

He grew for a long, long time, and grew twice as much as usual, for such a long time the child was not born. Then my mother apparently went to the store in the winter, and she was gone for almost a week, the girl was exhausted: she was scared at home alone, it was black in the windows, the electricity was intermittent, there were snowdrifts up to the very windows. The food was running out, but her neighbor fed her. And then late in the evening, or at night, there was a knock on the door and the mother's voice called out to the girl. The girl opened the door and her mother came in. She was all pale, with blue circles around her eyes, thin and tired. She gave birth to a child and held him in her arms, wrapped in some kind of shabby skin, maybe even a dog. The girl quickly closed the door, put the child on the table, began to undress her mother - she was very cold, she was all icy. In the iron stove, the girl made a fire, near this stove they warmed themselves in the evenings, and seated her mother in an old armchair, and then went to see the child.

I unfolded it slowly, and there was such a child that it was immediately clear that this was not a newborn or even a baby. There is another girl there, three or four years old, her face is small and angry, and there are no arms or legs.

Oh mom, who is this? - the girl asked, and the mother says:

All babies are ugly at first. When your sister grows up, everything will be all right. Give it to me.

She took the baby in her arms and began to breastfeed. And that girl sucks her breasts, as if nothing had happened, and looks at the first girl cunningly and viciously.

And their names were Nastya and Olya, Olya is the one without arms and legs.

And this Olya herself ran and jumped very well, that is, she crawled very quickly, on her stomach. And she jumped on it, and she managed, like a caterpillar, to put herself upright and with her teeth, for example, to grab something and pull on herself. There was no rescue from her. She overturned, gnawed, spoiled everything, and her mother ordered Nastya to clean up after her, because Nastya was the eldest and also because her mother was now all the time ill, she was sick and even slept strangely, with her eyes open, as if she was just lying in a swoon. Now Nastya cooked for herself, and ate separately from her mother, because her mother had some kind of her own diet for nursing. Life has become absolutely disgusting. If Nastya didn’t eat and didn’t clean up after the dirty trick Olya, then her mother would send her either for firewood or to do her homework, and Nastya spent the whole day and the whole evening solving and solving problems and writing exercises, and she also taught all kinds of physics so as to retell everything, not stuttering over a single word. Mom did almost nothing, she fed Olya all the time or rested between feedings, because the nursing woman gets very tired, and everything was on Nastya, and Olya was washed too, and Olya writhed and laughed disgustingly, it was still a pleasure to wash her from poop. But Nastya endured everything for the sake of her mother.

So a month or two passed, and the winter only became colder, and everything around was covered in snowdrifts, and the light bulbs that hung in the rooms directly without chandeliers were blinking all the time and were very dim.

Suddenly, Nastya began to notice that someone was coming up to her at night and breathing over her face. At first she thought that it was her mother, as before, looking to see if she was sleeping well and if the blanket had slipped, and then she looked through her eyelashes, and this was Olya standing by the bed and looking at her, and smiling so much that her heart was in her heels .

Then Olya noticed that Nastya was looking, and said in a disgusting voice:

Who asked you to watch when you don't have to? Now I will bite off your fingers. Finger per night. And then I'll eat my hands. And so my hands will grow.

And she immediately bit off Nastya's little finger on her hand, and blood poured out from there. Nastya lay as if in a daze, but she jumped up from the pain and screamed! But mom still sleeps, and Olya laughs and jumps.

Okay, - said Nastya. “I still can’t do anything with you.

And lay down as if to sleep. And even fell asleep.

And in the morning Olya crap one's pants again, and mother told Nastya to wash her. It’s good that there was still firewood in the house, because it was already impossible to reach the woodpile because of the snowdrifts, and also to the well, Nastya took water directly from the snow for a bath, scooped up snow with a bucket and warmed it up on the stove. The wound from the bitten off finger was very painful, but Nastya did not say anything to her mother. She took Olya and began to bathe her in a baby bath, which they found in the attic when they moved. Olya, as always, wriggles and giggles, and Nastya began to drown her. Then Olya parted, fought terribly, bit Nastya's hands, but Nastya drowned her anyway, and she stopped breathing, and then Nastya put her on the table and saw that her mother was still looking at the stove and did not notice anything. And then Nastya lost consciousness, because a lot of blood flowed from the bites.

During the night, the house was covered with snow so that the neighbor was frightened and called rescuers. They came and dug up the house, and found inside a girl in a swoon, with bitten hands, a dead mummified woman and a wooden doll without arms and legs.

Nastya was then sent to an orphanage for the deaf and dumb. She was actually mute, she spoke with her mother with her hands.

The girl who played the piano

One girl with her mother and father moved into a new apartment, very beautiful, large, with a hall, a kitchen, a bathroom, two bedrooms, and in the hall there was a German piano made of cherry wood. Do you know what polished cherrywood looks like? It is dark red and glistens like blood.

The piano was very necessary, because the girl went to learn to play the piano in the house of culture.
And something strange happened to the girl in the new apartment. She began to play this piano at night, although she did not like it very much before. It played softly, but audibly.

At first, her parents did not scold her, they thought she would play enough and stop, but the girl did not stop.

They enter the hall, she is standing near the piano, she is playing notes on the piano, and she is looking at her parents. They scold her, she is silent.

Then they began to close the piano with a key.

But the girl does not understand how every night she still opened the piano and played it.

They began to shame her, punish her, but she still plays the piano at night.

They began to lock her bedroom. And she does not know how to get out and play again.

Then she was told that she would be sent to a boarding school. She cried and cried, they told her, give me an honest pioneer word that you won’t play anymore, but she is silent again. They sent me to boarding school.

And the next day, someone strangled her mom and dad at night.

They began to look for someone who could strangle them, asked the girl if she knew something. And then she told.
She didn't play the red piano. Every night she was woken up by flying white hands and told to flip notes while they played the piano. And she didn't tell anyone, because she was afraid and because no one would believe anyway.

Then the investigator says to her:

I believe you.

Because a pianist used to live in this apartment. He was arrested for wanting to poison the government. When they were arrested, he began to ask that they not beat his hands, because he needed his hands to play the piano. Then one NKVD officer said that he would make sure that the NKVD did not touch his hands, took the shovel from the janitor and chopped off both hands. And from this the pianist died.

And this nkvdsheshnik was the girl's dad.

Wrong girl

In the class, a girl named Katya has a new teacher. He had evil eyes, but everyone praised him very much, because he spoke in a kind voice and because if a student did not obey him for a long time, then the teacher invited him to drink tea, and after tea the student became the most obedient child in the world and spoke only when asked. And already all the students in the girl's class became obedient, only the girl herself was still ordinary.

Once, the mother sent the girl to bring some purchases to the teacher home, which he asked to do. The girl came, the teacher sat her down to drink tea in the kitchen and said:

Sit quietly here and don't go to the basement.

And he took the purchases and went with them to the attic.

The girl drank tea, but the teacher does not come. She began to wander around the rooms, look at the photographs and paintings on the walls. She was walking over the stairs to the basement, and the ring that her grandmother gave her fell off her finger. The girl decided to quickly get off the ring and sit in the kitchen, as if nothing had happened.

She went down to the basement, looks around, and there are basins of blood all around. In some lies the intestines, in others the liver, in the third the brains, in the fourth - the eyes. And looks, after all, human eyes! She was frightened and how she would scream!

Then the teacher entered the basement with a large knife. looked and said:

You are a bad, worthless, wrong Katya.

He grabbed Katya's braids and cut them off.

From this hair I will make good, correct Kate's hair. And now I need your skin. I'll put the glass eyes in the right Katya, which your mother bought for me, but I need real skin.

And the knife raised again.

Katya began to run around the basement, and the teacher stands at the stairs and laughs:

There is no other way out of this basement, run and run until you fall, then it will become easier to peel off your skin.

Then the girl calmed down and decided to cheat. Went straight for him. It goes and everything is shaking, and suddenly nothing happens. And he will kill her and put her in basins, and an obedient doll will go home instead of her.

And the teacher laughs and shows the knife.

Then the girl suddenly tore off the beads from her neck, which her grandmother also gave, and how she threw the teacher in the face! Right in the eyes and in the mouth! The teacher recoiled, his eyes were filled with blood and did not see anything. He tried to throw himself at the girl, but the beads had already fallen to the floor, rolled away, he slipped on them and fell. And the girl jumped on his head with both feet, and he lost consciousness. And then she got out of the basement and ran to the police.

The teachers were then shot. In another city where he used to work, he replaced the whole school with walking dolls.

hungry doll

One girl with mom and dad moved into another apartment. And in the room, which is for children, there was a doll nailed to the wall with nails. Dad tried to pull out the nails, but he couldn't. Left it like that.

So the girl went to bed, and suddenly the doll moves its head, opens its eyes, looks at the girl and says in a terrible voice:

Give me some red food!

The girl was frightened, and the doll says it in a bass voice again and again.

Then the girl went to the kitchen, cut her finger, took a spoonful of blood, came and poured it into the doll's mouth. And the doll calmed down.

The next night it's the same again. And to the next one. So the girl gave her blood to the doll for a week and began to lose weight and turn pale.

And on the seventh day, the doll drank the blood and said in her terrible voice:

Listen, crazy, do you have any jam at home at all?

Stories told by Lilith Mazikina

When my aunt got married, her mother was no longer alive. The wedding took place in a private house, the toilet was in the garden. When it got dark, the groom decided to quietly run away there. He opens the door and there is a woman sitting there. He got embarrassed and quickly closed the door.

He stood for a moment, thought, remembered that it seemed that all the guests were in the house or nearby, there should not be anyone in the garden. Opened the door again, but no one was there. He's screaming and running. Have calmed down. When he told what he saw, the relatives realized that he was describing the mother of the bride in exactly the clothes in which she was buried. They decided that she came to see her son-in-law.

It was at night, the cat, as usual, slept at the feet. I fell asleep too. And suddenly I woke up with some very unpleasant feeling - not that fear, not that cold. I open my eyes, I want to get up already, since I can’t sleep, and then I catch the eyes of a cat - warning me and with ears pressed somewhere to the side nearby. I shift my gaze in that direction and see how a huge, foggy-gray, but very dense creature is sneaking across the room. With something like a face with closed eyes. He moves towards the window, arms outstretched in front of him, like a man in the dark groping.

I couldn't even scream out of fear. And suddenly this creature felt the gaze, slowly turned around and clearly began to sniff. Then the cat silently released its claws at my leg with all the dope, and I turned my gaze to him. The creature immediately lost interest, reached the window and disappeared.
The cat fell asleep soon, and I kept trembling in bed until the morning, I was afraid to even get up to turn on the light.

This case was also at night, more precisely, already at 5 am. I woke up from a short knock on the door. The first thought was, what if something happened to relatives, who else would have come at that time? I rushed to the door awake, I ask: who is there? Silence. She didn't see anyone through the eyes. She looked at the clock and went to sleep. And just went to bed, immediately the second call.

Then I foolishly opened the door without question. Behind the door stood something tall, like a gray rectangular silhouette of a man without a neck, without arms, with darker outlines of eyes and mouth. And in place of the chest there was an opening in which it was raining. At this point, I thought clearly, even without fear - everyone, like that, they go crazy, they arrived. And yet she asked: who are you? Somehow I almost heard the answer: Shadow. I to you. Can you login? I answered no. She slammed the door and went to sleep. And that's all. There were no more calls.

I did go to the doctor later. I was glad that the roof was in place, but I still don’t know what it was.

My one friend and her friends, having drunk, decided to call the “spirit of Pushkin”, although the adult aunts are already, everyone is at least 40, but such a childhood has found them.

Have fun, have fun. Nothing succeeded. But it started at night. It was at a friend's dacha, everyone spent the night there. Windows and doors began to open on their own, batteries rattled, as if they were being driven back and forth with a stick. The peak was when a certain "force" pulled the blanket off one of the ladies. Another received a blow on the cheek, even had an abrasion. It ended with the fact that I had to write out the priest to clean the house. Oh, he cursed! Said they "let in a restless spirit." But cleared, everything stopped. But the friend and her friends all quarreled with each other. And in an empty place.

Oh, it’s better not to tell, they won’t believe it anyway ... When my father died, my grandmother and mother decided to lie down in one room, in the other there was a coffin. Grandmother quickly fell asleep, and my mother and I were still lying and thinking, thinking, thinking ... And suddenly we clearly heard our father's native snoring. From the very room where his body lay. My mother and I were numb, she squeezed my hand "did you hear?" - "yeah" - "oh, mommy ...".

The snoring lasted 10-15 seconds, but that was enough for us not to leave the bedroom for the rest of the night. We left only when friends and relatives began to come early in the morning. Until now, no one believes. But we couldn't hear the same thing, could we? And also, when they brought my father to the monastery for the funeral, his face changed, became more peaceful, it seemed that he was smiling. And this was already noticed by everyone who saw them off from home and attended the funeral service.

I was 15, my second cousin was 16. The house that his father was building was at the wall stage. The basement floor was already ready, the floor boards were “rough” - with considerable gaps between them. The passage to the basement floor was closed by an old street door - very heavy. We climbed there with the neighbor girls and with a battery-operated tape recorder. Didn't drink, didn't smoke, didn't eat pills. Summer, seven o'clock in the evening. At some point, the music ended and we heard someone approaching the gate from the street side, then the hook rattled and we heard footsteps - a heavy man's gait.

We hid. Then this someone entered the house and went through the rooms. We heard steps - but through the cracks in the floor it was clear that there was no one in the house! Then the steps went to the exit, we rushed to the vents in the foundation to see who it was - and we did not see anyone. The steps died down - we got out of the basement: the gate was closed. The house was completed. The brother's wife says that the cat periodically arches and hisses at someone, and the dog freezes and looks attentively at one point.

Once - I was six years old - I woke up as if from a jolt. A dim light fell on the blanket from the side of the table behind the headboard at my feet. Something huge froze in anticipation - it was there, behind the headboard - the light fell from it! But I didn't even have time to think about it, or turn my head to look...

A chilling sound broke the silence of the room. I turned sharply to the table, and my desperate cry merged with the roar of the monstrous creature hanging over the table. The creature's legs were not visible, but the palms with spread fingers were turned towards me - one arm was at the shoulder, the other was stretched forward, attacking me ... The creature's hair was reared, framing the head with a halo, huge eyes burned with anger. Before me is a strange and dangerous creature. I screamed and the vision disappeared. The room was plunged into darkness. A frightened father ran up, but due to a strong stutter, I could not utter anything ...

After grandfather's funeral, but before 40 days from the date of his death, we went to the village where he lived for the last 10 years. They went to bed, I started to fall asleep, but I heard some sounds in the hallway, as if someone was walking. I thought: “Probably, this is my grandfather. But he won’t do anything bad to us, he loved us very much.” And she fell asleep peacefully.

I told my mother later, it turns out that she also heard the clatter and also fell asleep peacefully. But grandfather's son-in-law (my mother's sister's husband, my uncle) did not go to bed longer than us. He heard the slamming of the door to the neighboring house, something rumbled in the passage. And then the door to the hut where we slept opened, and grandfather came in. Uncle threw himself into bed under the covers, heard nothing more.

I was then 12 years old, maybe less, I was left at home alone. Parents went to friends or on business. We live in a private house in a small village, surrounded by a forest.

So I decided to call my mother, find out when my parents will be at home. I call and hear voices. I thought that there was a failure on the line, called back again, again voices, listened. And there, two people discussed how they like to eat human meat, shared recipes, discussed how best to prepare canned food. Now I understand that it was rather a very stupid joke, but then it was very scary. It seemed to me that they knew what I heard, and they would definitely find me by phone number.

I didn’t call my parents, I thought I would run into those cannibals again. One, the house is big, breaking a window is a trifling matter.

The younger of my two cousins ​​was about to get married. I came to invite my mother to the wedding. She asked when the wedding was. The answer strained her: it is the day of her mother's death, my grandmother, and, accordingly, my cousin's grandmother. To the remark, the brother replied that it was okay, “this wedding will be a gift for my grandmother.”

A week before the wedding, the bride's parents came to the groom's house to meet their future relatives and discuss the details of the upcoming celebration. We sat and talked. The owners wanted to show the house to the guests. We walked and wandered, went into the bedroom of the parents. The mother of the bride looked at the photographs on the wall, and almost lost consciousness, the men supported her when she almost fell to the floor.

It turned out that the day before she woke up in the middle of the night (or thought she woke up), and next to her, bending over her, stood a woman in a white robe. The woman said: “It’s not good, it must be honored.” And she left. The future mother-in-law recognized that woman in the photo on the wall. It was my grandmother.

By the way, they lived after the wedding for only two months, then fled. The story is not made up.

Stories with signs of today
Chronicle

It is clear that horror stories did not only happen in the old days. They happen even now. Near, here, in our city, in the neighboring area and even on the next street. And since there are no vampires, no space aliens, no people with bear heads on the next street and in the neighboring area, all these today's stories have an absolutely everyday coloring.

With an emphasis on human meat pies, blood bags and other everyday horrors. Read and be horrified. "That was today, that was yesterday."

black hand

There was a hotel in the city of N that was notorious. There was a red light above the door of one of her rooms. This meant that people were disappearing in the room.

One day a young man came to the hotel and asked for a lodging for the night. The director replied that there were no empty seats, except for that ill-fated room with a red light bulb. Not a guy was not afraid and went to spend the night in this room. In the morning he was not in the room.

In the evening of the same day, another guy came, who had just served in the army. The director of the hotel assigned him a place in the same room. The guy was strange: he did not recognize mattresses and duvets and slept on the floor, wrapped in a blanket. In addition, he suffered from insomnia. She visited him that night too. It's already past eleven, it's time for twelve, and sleep doesn't come. Midnight struck! Suddenly, under the bed, something clicked, rustled, and a Black Hand appeared from under it. She tore the pillow with terrible force and dragged it under the bed. The guy jumped up, quickly dressed and went to look for the director of the hotel. But that was not there. He was not at home either. Then the guy called the police and asked to urgently come to the hotel. The police began a thorough inspection. One of the police officers noticed that the bed was attached to the floor with special screws. Unscrewing the screws and moving the bed aside, the policemen saw a chest with a button on one of its walls. We pressed the button. The lid of the chest lifted abruptly but inaudibly. And out of it appeared the Black Hand. It was attached to a thick steel spring. The hand was cut off and sent for investigation. The chest was moved - and everyone saw a hole in the floor. We decided to go down there. There were seven doors in front of the police. They opened the first one and saw lifeless, bloodless corpses. They opened the second - there were skeletons. They opened the third - there is only skin. In the fourth lay fresh corpses, from which blood flowed into the basins. In the fifth - people in white coats butchered corpses. We went into the sixth - people were standing along long tables and packing blood into bags. We went into the seventh - and were dumbfounded! On a high chair there sat the director of the hotel himself.

The director confessed to everything. At this time there was a war between the two states. As in any war, a large amount of donated blood was required. The director was connected with one of the states. He was offered for a huge sum to establish the production of such blood, and he agreed and developed a plan with the Black Hand.

The hotel was brought into divine form, a new director was appointed. The light bulb above the door of the ill-fated room was gone. The city now lives quietly and sees wonderful dreams at night.

One day the mother sent her daughter to the market for pies. An old woman was selling pies. When the girl approached her, the old woman said. That the pies are already over, but if she goes to her house, she will treat her with pies. The girl agreed. When they came to her house, the old woman sat the girl on the sofa and asked her to wait. She went to another room where there were some buttons. The old woman pressed the button - and the girl failed. The old woman made new pies and ran to the market. The girl's mother waited and waited and, without waiting for her daughter, ran to the market. She did not find her daughter. I bought pies from the same old woman and returned home. When she bit off one pie, she saw a blue fingernail in it. And her daughter just painted her nail in the morning. Mom immediately ran to the police. The police came to the market and caught the old woman.

It turned out that she lured people to her home, put them on the sofa, and people fell through. Under the sofa was a large meat grinder full of human flesh. The old woman made pies out of it and sold it in the market. At first they wanted to execute the old woman, and then they gave her a life sentence.

Taxi driver and old woman

A taxi driver is driving late in the evening and sees: an old woman is standing by the road. Vote. The taxi driver stopped. The old woman sat down and said: “Take me to the cemetery, you need to see your son!” The taxi driver says: "It's late, I need to go to the park." But the old woman persuaded him. They arrived at the cemetery. The old woman says: "Wait here for me, I'll be right back!"

Half an hour goes by and she's gone. Suddenly an old woman appears and says: “He is not here, I was mistaken. Let's go to another!" The taxi driver says: “What are you doing! It's already night!" And she told him: “Take it, take it. I'll pay well!" They arrived at another cemetery. The old woman again asked to wait and left. Half an hour passes, an hour passes. An old woman appears, angry and dissatisfied with something. “He is not here either. Take, - he says, - to another! The taxi driver wanted to drive her away. But she still persuaded him, and they went. The old woman is gone. There is none and no. The taxi driver's eyes began to droop. Suddenly he hears - the door opens. He raised his head and saw: an old woman was standing at the door, smiling. His mouth is covered in blood, his hands are covered in blood, a piece of meat is pulled out of his mouth ...

The boy ran out of the apartment, and his hands followed him, ran to the bus stop, and his hands followed him. An old woman was getting off the bus, and the boy ran into the bus and hid behind her. Hands grabbed her by the throat and choked her.

One night they were guessing at the Queen of Spades. A lot of people gathered. They put the card (Queen of Spades) on the table and opened the door so that she could enter. They began to wait. We waited and waited, but she was not there. The guests got fed up and left. There was only the owner, a young guy. His father closed the door and went to bed. And the guy can't sleep. Suddenly he hears - the door twitches. He enters and asks: "Who?" No answer. And the door is already off the hinges. He recoiled back, and the door collapsed ... The guy looks: The Queen of Spades enters the threshold and swims towards him. The guy is at the door, but it is closed. Then he broke the window and jumped out. And she's already on the street. And she goes to him, stretched out her hands, took him by the throat and began to choke him. It dawned here. The lady is missing and the guy is dead.

How to summon the Queen of Spades

(from narrator's notes)

A. You need to take a glass of water and a piece of black bread. Put the glass under the bed and put the bread on top. At midnight, a blue light will light up in a glass - this is the Queen of Spades. She will guard the dream until morning. In the morning, only half a glass of water and an incomplete piece of bread will remain in the glass.

B. You need to go into a dark room, take a mirror with you and draw a ladder on it. You have to look in the mirror for a long time, and then a black figure will go down the stairs. We must quickly erase this ladder, otherwise the Queen of Spades will go down to the end and strangle.

Q. It was in the hospital. The girls decided to call the Queen of Spades. They did everything as it should be: they wiped the mirror with cologne, drew a heart and steps with a bar of soap, and said three times: “Queen of Spades, appear!” And she came to them. One girl managed to make a wish: she asked for chewing gum. The lady handed her a block, and as soon as the girl touched it with her hand, her hand turned black and all crooked. The rest got scared and quickly turned on the light. The Queen of Spades has disappeared. But the girl's hand remained black and twisted, and whatever she touched with this hand, everything was charred. The girl was very afraid that she would touch her mother with her hand. Once it did happen. And what? The girl's hand became normal again.

In one black-black city

It was a long time ago. On one black-black planet there was a black-black city. There was a big black park in this black-black city.

The girl forgot what her mother told her and put on a white bow. But suddenly the bow untied, wrapped around the girl's neck and strangled her!

Black Tulip

One girl's mother went on a business trip for a long time. And it was New Year's Eve. And she left her 10 rubles for the girl to buy herself a carnival costume.

She comes to the store, and there the princess costume costs 20 rubles and the snowflake costume 15, and there is nothing else. And suddenly the saleswoman says:

Girl, do you want a Black Tulip costume?

How much does it cost?

Ten rubles.

And shows a great suit. The dress is black silk and everything else that a girl needs. The girl, of course, bought a suit and ran home. The next day, early in the morning, she sits in the kitchen. And suddenly the broken radio spoke by itself: “Girl, girl, jump out the window! The Black Tulip has appeared in the city." The girl thought that someone was joking. And she lived on the ninth floor. And the radio again says: “Girl, girl, jump out the window! The Black Tulip got off the trolleybus and is approaching the house. She again paid no attention. “Girl, girl, jump out the window! The Black Tulip is coming to your apartment,” the radio says again. The girl got up, went to the door to see who was joking, and the doors opened of their own accord, and the Black Tulip appeared on the threshold. And right at her. She was frightened, and the radio would scream: “Girl, girl, you shouldn’t have listened to me in vain, now jump out the window, maybe you will be saved!” The girl jumped out the window. He falls, and not with a stone, but like on a parachute, in a word, it is clear that he will not be killed if he falls. And the Black Tulip leaned over the window sill, stretched out his arms, and they began to grow on him.

Grow, grow, want to grab the girl. And already at the very ground they grabbed and pulled back. And the Black Tulip tells her: “You wanted to run away from me, I will kill you for this!” She cried: "Don't kill me, Black Tulip!" “Okay,” he says, “cook me something to eat.” She cooked him something to eat, and he ate everything he had and left nothing for her. And he said: “I will leave, and you will clean and cook here. Be my maid, and if I don't like something, I'll eat you." And went to the closet. And so for several days in a row, he ate everything, and she was hungry. And then one afternoon, when the Black Tulip was not there, the radio spoke again: “Girl, girl, take the Black Tulip suit out of the closet and burn it.” The girl opened the closet. Only the suit hung there, and the Black Tulip himself was not there. She threw it on the floor and set it on fire. He immediately flared up with a black flame, someone screamed terribly, and the girl lost consciousness. When she came to, there was nothing where the costume had been. And the Black Tulip never came again.

striped legs

There lived a family: father, mother and daughter. Once a girl came home from school and saw that the whole apartment was covered in bloody footprints. The parents were at work at the time. The girl got scared and ran away. In the evening, the parents returned, saw the footprints and decided to call the police. The policemen hid in a closet, and the girl sat down to study. And suddenly there were striped legs. They approached the girl and with invisible hands began to choke her.

The policemen jumped out of the closet. Legs ran. The policemen rushed after them. Legs ran to the cemetery and jumped into one of the graves. The policemen are next. The grave was not a coffin, but an underground room with many rooms and corridors. In one of the rooms were the eyes, hair and ears of children. The policemen ran on. At the end of the corridor, in a dark room, sat an old man. Seeing them, he jumped up, pressed the button and disappeared. The policemen also began to press the button, and one by one they ended up in a wasteland. In the distance they saw feet and ran after them. Caught.

It turned out to be the legs of that old man. It turned out that he killed children and made medicines for incurable diseases. And then he sold it for a lot of money. They shot him.

Green Pistol-I

One aunt had a boy. Once she was sitting on a bench, and he was lying next to him in a stroller. And a gypsy passed by. And she said to her aunt: "Give me a ruble, I'll tell you a fortune." Aunt gave her a ruble, the gypsy says: "Be afraid of the green gun." She said and left without explaining anything. A lot of time passed, and my aunt forgot about it, and her boy grew up and went to school.

One day he was walking home from school. He sees something lying in the bushes. Raises, and this is a gun. Just like the real one, only green. The boy was delighted, brought home and hid.

At twelve o'clock in the morning the boy woke up and heard something hissing. He looked, and from under the bed a green pistol climbs and hisses like a snake. He threw a pillow at him, and the pistol fired and shot through the pillow through and through again. He threw a book at him, and the pistol shot through the book. The boy got scared, ran out of the room and closed the door, sits and waits for the gun to go through the door and shoot him. And the gun is knocking on the door, but it cannot shoot through. Then the boy ran away from home. Sits on the street and cries. And by the same gypsy was walking. “Boy,” he asks, “what are you crying for?” “The green gun will shoot me,” the boy replies. "Don't be afraid, here's a red gun for you, go into the house and shoot the green gun." The boy entered the house and fired at the green pistol. And it broke into small pieces."

Green pistol-II

One boy, five or six years old, went into the yard for a walk and saw an unfamiliar grandmother in the yard. She was dressed in all black. In her hands she had a basket covered with a black scarf, and a black kitten was rubbing at her feet.

Grandmother looked suspicious to him. And in order to check whether she was a witch or not, he hid, as they do in such cases, his hands in his pockets and twisted the muzzle. Grandma looked around and, smacking her lips, asked him what he needed. The boy was frightened, but did not show it. Out of fear, he said the first thing that came into his head: "I forgot the gun here, so I'm looking for it." "Oh," said the grandmother. - And I accidentally found a pistol here. Is it by any chance that you lost it?” And she took out a small, shiny, extraordinarily beautiful green pistol from the basket.

The boy so wanted to have it that he again lied: "Yes, it's mine!" “Here, take it,” said the grandmother. The boy took. The grandmother suddenly turned all green, and the cat turned green, and they disappeared. The boy, numb with fear, ran home. He did not tell anyone what had happened and did not show the gun to anyone. Before going to bed, he admired it for a long time, then put it under the pillow and fell asleep soundly. At twelve o'clock in the morning the bed with the boy began to fly, flew and fell into place. And the bed where my mother slept turned green and disappeared. In the morning, the father told his son that his mother had left and asked him not to wake him up. But the boy noticed that there was a green spot where mother's bed had been. Taking out a pistol, he began to examine it and saw that something was written on it. He ran to his sister. She read:

I'M AFRAID OF FIRE

I'M AFRAID OF THE LIGHT

I'M AFRAID OF WATER.

The next night the boy again went to bed with a gun. At twelve o'clock in the morning, his bed took off and flew into the place of his mother's bed. And the father's bed turned green and disappeared with the father. In the morning the boy was afraid that he was not in his room. The bed with the father disappeared. And there were green footprints on the floor. The footprints led to his bed, getting smaller and smaller and disappearing under his pillow. The boy lifted the pillow, but apart from the gun, there was nothing there. And then he realized who did it all. He remembered the inscription on the gun and did this: he put it on the table, where the sun was reflected. The gun suddenly began to shrink. The boy put it under the tap with water - the gun turned white. The boy took it and put it on the stove. The gun turned black and meowed angrily, jumping to the floor like a black cat. The boy was not at a loss, took a mop, standing in the corner, and warmed the cat. The cat grunted, spun, hooted and disappeared. And then the boy saw that his bed flew into place. And the beds with mom and dad appeared in their places. They were fast asleep.

They say that this grandmother still walks around cities and villages and offers children a green gun.

Father

Once there was a group of guys, they did not want to give money, they went to this boy, and he began to leave. And the guys kept walking and walking. And suddenly they went into the old chapel. And the floor beneath them collapsed. When they woke up, they were already in the hospital. They lay there for a long time, and no one came to visit them. Once only a pale boy came to them.

Case on the railroad

He went out - she was gone again. He began to look around and saw two children tied to a tree.

Here's what turned out later. The mother of these children died, and the father married another. The stepmother took a dislike to the children, took them to the forest and tied them to a tree. And she left. They began to show the driver photos of relatives, because they need to find out who he saw. And he pointed to the photo of his mother.

diamond statue

In the middle of one big city stood a tall diamond statue. Under it was an inscription that no one could read. For this, a scientist was called from the capital.

And in this city there lived a young man. And he liked one girl. He began to propose marriage to her. She did not agree for a long time, finally says: “I will go out if you go to the square to the diamond statue at midnight and put a ring on her finger” - and gives the ring to him. He thinks: “Why not go? There is always light and a lot of people. But the statue is smooth, how can I climb it?

Went. Comes: darkness, no people ... And the statue somehow strangely glows. He came closer, suddenly the hand of the statue fell to him and opened his palm. The guy put the ring on his palm, she clenched into a fist, and the guy ran without a memory. The next morning, the girl changed her anger to mercy, said: "Tonight will be a wedding." And now the guests have gathered, the bride is sitting, but the groom is not. They ask the father: "Where is he?" Father says: "In his room, sorting through something." Let's go to the room. Knocked and knocked - no answer. They broke down the door - the groom lies on the floor near the open window, and there is a ring in his forehead. Guests for the bride - she disappeared. The guests dispersed, only the father remained at the son's body. And the next morning they found him dead, with a ring in his forehead. They opened both corpses - instead of blood they have ink.

Since then, people began to disappear in the city. They all died the same death. And then a scientist came to the city. He came to the square, read the inscription on the statue and said: "This statue loves blood - that's what it says." People tried to break the statue, nothing happens - a diamond. That is why people left this city.

The story of the ghouls

The old parents, the Duke and Duchess, had a son. When he got married, the parents left the castle of their ancestors to the children, and they themselves moved to another. And the old servant remained the young duke, who every day planted garlic on the graves of his ancestors.

One day, while walking around the castle, the young wife saw a portrait of a handsome man in one of the rooms. And the man in the portrait smiled at her.

Tonight I will sleep by this portrait,” said the Duchess. The duke agreed and went to bed with his servant. At night they heard a terrible scream. Jumping up, they rushed to the duchess. She was dead. There were two dark holes in her throat, from which blood oozed.

It was your ancestors who killed her, - said the servant, - after all, they were all ghouls. I planted garlic on their graves, and you plucked it. Now always go with garlic and eat it at night!

The next night the duke slept alone. At midnight, he woke up and saw that the duchess was approaching him in a long white dress, with her hair loose ... She went up to the duke and began to stretch out her hands to him ... Then the duke remembered the garlic he ate in the evening, breathed on the duchess - and she disappeared.

The next morning, the duke and the servant decided to leave the castle and return to their parents. And people disappeared in the area for several more years. But then everything calmed down.

dog jaw

One man had a dog that he loved very much. But when he got married, his wife Tatiana took a dislike to the dog and ordered him to kill it. The man resisted for a long time, but the wife stood her ground. And he had to kill the dog.

And so they sleep at night. Suddenly they see - the dog's jaw is flying. She flew into the room and ate her wife. The next evening, the man closed all the locks and went to bed. Suddenly he sees: the jaw flies through the window and rushes at him ...

He woke up in the morning thinking it was a dream. He looked at himself and saw that it was not him, but his skeleton… He lay there for three days, and after three days he became a jaw and ate his relatives.

scary jokes

It is not by chance that we have collected funny stories at the end of the book. As Marx said, "humanity, laughing, parted with its past." In this case, children - with their childish horrors. The stories in the last section are not strictly anecdotes. For the most part, these are full-fledged parodies of the most typical scary stories. Their very existence testifies to the overcoming of fear by children, to their growing out of childhood horrors. Succumbing to the temptation of classification, we have collected these stories in a separate section. Although psychologically it was better to tell them mixed with scary stories. We hope that, having lost in entertainment, the book has significantly won in scientific content.

coffin on wheels

One girl was sitting at home and playing. Suddenly the radio announces:

The girl did not know where he came from, and her mother did not tell her anything. The daughter stumbled over this nail all the time and asked to pull it out, but the mother answered that this could not be done - misfortune would happen.

The girl has grown up. Her mother died. And the nail stuck out in the middle of the room, because the daughter did not dare to disobey the mother's order.

But one day, friends gathered at the girl's party.

Dances began, and this nail began to interfere with everyone.

Friends began to persuade the girl to remove the nail from the floor and persuaded her. Pulled out a nail...

There was a terrible roar, and the lights went out.

Suddenly they hear a knock at the door.

They open it - a woman is standing on the threshold, all in black, and says:

What do you care, but my chandelier fell ...

Black suitcase

In one city, there lived a girl with her parents and a two-year-old brother. One day the family gathered to visit relatives in another city.

There were a lot of things, but there was no suitcase. And the girl was sent to the store for a suitcase. Oddly enough, there were no suitcases in the store. The girl went outside and saw a decrepit old woman selling a black suitcase. There is nothing to do, the girl bought a suitcase and brought it home. After dinner, as usual, she went to bed. When she woke up, neither parents nor brother were in the apartment.

The storm was starting. The room became dark. The girl got scared. Something rustled in the suitcase. The girl looked closer and saw three red spots on it. Someone's voice in the suitcase said: "Don't move, otherwise I'll kill you!" The girl froze in place and trembled with fear until her parents arrived. It turned out that they went shopping - looking for the right things. The father opened the suitcase. A little boy was crawling in it. In his hand he held a thread, to the end of which a cockroach was tied. Groaning, he whispered: “Don’t move, otherwise I’ll kill you!” It turned out that he was afraid of a thunderstorm and climbed into the suitcase. In order not to be bored, he took a cockroach with him, and since it was dark in the suitcase, he made three holes in the lid through which his red shirt could be seen.

The most terrible of all existing stories about the Black Hand

One night, a boy (say, Vasya) disappeared in a house. His parents searched for him for a long time and did not find him. The police were powerless. Advertisements were posted all over the city.

But Vasya was not there. Vasya's mother emptied all the pharmacies in the city. Vasya's dad, led by police sergeant Lopukhov, combed all suspicious places and gangster dens. They overfulfilled the plan for catching crooks for two five-year periods! But Vasya was never found.

One evening, Vasya's parents were sitting at home and drinking tea mixed with validol. And then the Black Hand slipped through the window into the room and threw a note. Vasya's dad unfolded the note with trembling hands and read:

Vasya's dad fell into a chair. Mom wanted to fall next to me, but decided that she would do it after she returned from the police.

At the police station, Sergeant Lopukhov carefully examined the Zopeska under a microscope and sighed.

Well? Vasya's mother asked anxiously.

Nothing, said the sergeant.

How, absolutely nothing?! - Vasya's mother was horrified and already wanted to fall, but she caught herself in time: there were no chairs in the department.

Of course not. I established that this note was written with an X-type pen on Y-type paper and, according to the note, with a Z-type hand.

Vasya's mother looked at the sergeant with delight:

You are a genius! - she exclaimed.

I am a detective! he objected.

At this time, Vasya's father came to his senses. He poured himself some valerian from the teapot and felt better. Sitting on the couch, dad thought. From time to time he muttered: “What to do? Well, what to do? Most of all he was tormented by the question: “Where can I get five bottles of blood?” And then it dawned on him. He ran to the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of the purest tomato juice from the refrigerator. "You can't tell the difference from blood!" he said with satisfaction and was suddenly horrified: a Black Hand was sticking out of the wall and shaking his finger at him. Vasya's dad didn't remember anything after that.

When Vasya's mother returned home (she brought a sergeant with her), she saw her father under the table in the kitchen. There was a sheet of paper on the table.

Don `t move! said the sergeant. He photographed everything with a camera built into the clock, and only after that he took the note. It was written there:

The sergeant saw the tomato juice spilled on the floor and sighed.

Too bad it was an idea, he said.

A week later, Vasya's mom and dad were sitting on a bench in front of the house. Mom held bottles of blood in her trembling hands. True, these bottles together weighed no more than one hundred grams, since spending 5 liters of blood on an unknown object was considered wasteful. The bottles were no bigger than a little finger, but even with lids.

A black Volga drove up to the house. From an ambush, Lopukhov said admiringly: “Volga of the Oka type. Vasya came out of the Volga, led by the Black Hand. Vasya's mother gave the bottles and pressed Vasya to her. The Black Hand stroked Vasya on the head, and then a shot rang out.

It's a pity! I was so harmless! - said the Black Hand and melted along with the Volga.

That's all. It remains to add that Sergeant Lopukhov has been promoted, and Vasya sleeps in a fireproof closet, where his mother locks him at night.
