Another possible main character could be a young girl with psychic abilities. In the stories, she might be the one who can sense the presence of ghosts and tries to prevent the evil spirits from causing harm to the people in her town.
There are other characters like the naughty goblins in Toyland. They sometimes cause trouble for Noddy but also add more interesting elements to the stories. The various toys in Toyland are also characters in a sense, as they interact with Noddy and are part of his adventures.
Not all of them. There could be stories with elements like ghosts and monsters that might be too frightening for sensitive children. However, if a kid is into spooky things, they might enjoy some of the tamer stories.
Often there are animals like little mice, kittens, and puppies. They are very popular main characters as they are cute and kids can easily relate to them.
One interesting story could be about a haunted house. There might be strange noises at night, like creaking floors and doors slamming on their own. Ghostly apparitions might be seen in the hallways.
There are also stories where the main character is a young cowboy new to the frontier. In the story of the Haunted Saloon, a young cowboy named Billy arrives in a new town. The saloon he visits is haunted by the ghosts of outlaws who were killed there years ago. Billy has to face these spooky apparitions as he tries to make a name for himself in the town.
In the 'Werewolf by Night' story, the main character is Jack Russell, who is the werewolf. He is constantly fighting against his own nature.
Well, it could be a young girl who discovers the secrets of the scary world in Scarlet Scary Stories. She might be the one who has to face the terrors and find a way to overcome them.
There could be some victims of the scary events. They might be ordinary people who get caught up in the supernatural happenings, like a family that moves into a haunted house not knowing what awaits them. Their reactions to the horror and their attempts to escape or deal with it could be a big part of the stories.
There's often a protagonist who is the one experiencing the horror. For example, in the haunted house story, it was a young journalist who was trying to write an article about the house. His curiosity led him into the terrifying situation.
In 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are the central characters. In 'The Black Cat', the unnamed narrator is the main character, along with his black cat, Pluto. In 'The Amityville Horror', the Lutz family are the main characters who experience the terrifying events in the haunted house.
