Tell A Spooky Story

People around the world are telling spooky stories this month as we lead up to Halloween. Some countries do not celebrate this holiday, but anyone can tell a spooky story. Maybe you can translate one from your own language. Maybe you can use one from real life.

 

Here is my example. It is an excerpt from Frankenstein. If you can't find a spooky story to share, write your own and record it for us, or use the one I did. If you are recording a story word for word, be sure that it is in the public domain. 

 

Here is another spooky story to listen to: The Ghosts.

  • A strange hitchhiker ... a legend or a reality ?

     

    2382892002?profile=originalI didn't look for a spooky story but I wish to share one that I have heard a few years ago. It's told by the inhabitants living in a little village on the slopes of the Lautaret  (Alpes) in France. Is it a legend or a reality ? So here it is.

    A strange Hitchhiker.

    The Lautaret's inhabitants are telling a strange story about a lady dressed all in white who sometimes appears at the Lautaret pass, between Briançon and Grenoble, but only when weather conditions are bad. She hitchhiks along the isolated mountain road. It is said to be the ghost of a young woman who died there in a car accident in 1980

    If taken on board, she has the reputation to protect the car and its occupants. But if you refuse to take her, anything can happen, say the regulars of this rough passage.

    An apparition that save lifes

    It was 2 am, four young people, two boys and two girls, were coming back from a party are returning home by car .On their way back, they stopped to give a ride to an old lady who was hitchhiking. She sat between the two girls on the back seat of the vehicle.

    As they had just left the highway, the hitchhiker shouted, "be care ful, there is a turning point » !

    The driver braked suddenly and looked to the back seat when he heard the two girls shouting. The old lady had vanished and on the seat at her place was just laying an identity card with the picture corresponding to the hitchhiker.

     

    Terrified, they went strait to the police to tell them their story.

    Using the identity card, police found out that this woman had died 15 years of a car accident just around the place where the 4 youths had stopped to give her a lift.
