Can you recommend some not to long and scary stories?

One scary long story is 'The Shining' by Stephen King. It tells the tale of a family who becomes caretakers at an isolated hotel during the winter. Strange and terrifying events start to occur as the father descends into madness, haunted by the hotel's dark past. The long build - up of suspense and the detailed descriptions of the hotel's spooky corridors and rooms make it a truly chilling read.

The 'Amityville Horror' is also a well - known long scary story. Based on a supposed true story, a family moves into a house with a violent past. They experience all sorts of paranormal activity, from strange noises and apparitions to objects moving on their own. The family's psychological and physical torment in the face of the unknown is what makes this story so terrifying.

One long demonic scary story is 'The Exorcist'. It tells about a young girl who becomes possessed by a demon. The demonic activities she exhibits are truly terrifying, from speaking in strange tongues to having inhuman strength. The priests who attempt to exorcise the demon face great challenges as the demon seems to be extremely powerful and malevolent.

Another is 'The Doll in the Attic'. A girl discovers an old, porcelain doll in the attic of her new house. At first, the doll seems normal, but as days pass, she finds the doll in different places around the house. And at night, she can hear faint giggling coming from the attic where the doll was originally found. The doll's eyes seem to follow her wherever she goes in the house.

One long and spooky ghost story is about the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester, the owner, was haunted by the ghosts of those killed by Winchester rifles. She kept building onto the house in a never - ending attempt to confuse the ghosts. The house has staircases that lead to nowhere, doors that open to walls, and countless secret passages. People who have visited at night claim to have seen ghostly figures wandering the halls. Also, the story of 'Borley Rectory' in England is quite terrifying. It was said to be the most haunted house in England. There were reports of a nun's ghost, strange noises, and poltergeist activity.

One famous long and scary story is 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. It's about the vampire Count Dracula who travels from Transylvania to England to spread his undead curse. The story is filled with dark and spooky elements like his castle, the strange happenings at night, and the battle between good and evil to stop him.

A long scary bedtime story is 'The Call of Cthulhu' by H.P. Lovecraft. It involves a cult, an ancient and terrifying creature, and the psychological horror of the unknown. The very idea of Cthulhu, a being so powerful and alien that it drives people mad just to know of its existence, is very scary. There's also 'Carmilla', which is an early vampire story about a female vampire who preys on a young girl. It has a very eerie atmosphere.

One scary long ghost story is 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James. It's about a young governess who takes care of two children in a large, isolated estate. She begins to see apparitions and suspects that the children are being haunted or possessed. The story builds a sense of dread as the governess tries to protect the children from the unknown forces. The ambiguity in the story, whether the ghosts are real or just a product of the governess's imagination, adds to its scariness.

The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde is a great long scary ghost story. It tells about an American family who moves into a haunted English castle. The ghost there tries to scare them but ends up in comical situations at first. However, as the story progresses, it gets spookier. Another one is The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. It's about a governess who starts to see apparitions at the estate where she works, and it's full of psychological horror. There's also 'Dracula' which has elements of the undead and the spooky castle setting that gives a long and terrifying experience.

'It' by Stephen King is also a long and terrifying horror story. Set in the fictional town of Derry, a group of kids face a shape - shifting evil entity that often takes the form of a clown named Pennywise. It preys on their fears, and the story jumps between their childhood experiences and their return to the town as adults to face the same evil again.
