I’ll be attending Thanksgiving at my sister’s home, and will invariably be required by my nephews (age 8 & 6) to tell them and some of their friends scary ghost stories. It’s become a mini-tradition, they (usually about four of them) climb on the bunkbed with the lights off, and I have to come up with some scary stories to tell them.
My nephews being shrewd, jaded Upper East Sider kids are not scared too often. Occasionally, if I’m not up to the task, one of them will snarl “LAME!” at my story. Also, I’m running out of stories to tell them.
Thus far, I’ve told -
-
the Hooked-arm Killer at Lover’s Lane story.
-
the druggie babysitter story.
-
the boogeyman-under-the-bed story.
-
the boy who cried Wolf (updated to be the boy who said he saw a Chainsaw Killer.)
So I need help. Know any good scary stories that I can tell some kids?
