One scary Christmas story is about a haunted Christmas tree. A family brought home a beautiful, large tree one year. But at night, they would hear strange noises coming from it.

One scary Christmas Eve story is about a family who heard strange noises on the roof. They thought it was Santa at first. But when they looked out, they saw a shadowy figure with glowing red eyes.

One of the scariest real ghost stories is from the Queen Mary ship. There are numerous reports of strange noises, cold spots, and apparitions.

One inspiring Christmas story is about a little boy. He found an old, shabby Christmas ornament in the attic. Instead of discarding it, he decided to fix it up.

There was a story of a haunted hospital. In the old, dilapidated wing, nurses would report seeing a shadowy figure of a doctor pushing a gurney with no patient on it.

One scary mermaid story is about a mermaid who lured sailors to their doom. She would sing a beautiful yet hypnotic song.

Fishermen who entered at night would see her glowing eyes in the water, and soon after, their nets would be torn to shreds and their boats would start to leak.

There's also 'Jeff the Killer'. A story about a young boy named Jeff who was bullied and ended up having his face horribly disfigured. After that, he went insane and became a killer.

As they went deeper, they were stalked by the werewolf. It was a nerve - wracking experience as they tried to escape the clutches of this fearsome creature. The dark, eerie setting of the castle added to the scariness of the story.
