Sleepover Alexa Scary Story: What are some good ones?

A great sleepover scary story is 'The Girl in the Graveyard'. There was a girl who died tragically and was buried in a local graveyard. People who walked by at night sometimes saw her ghostly figure sitting on her tombstone. And then there's 'The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs'. The babysitter gets strange phone calls from someone asking if she checked the children. When she looks upstairs, she finds out something terrifying.

The characters in the story are important too. Having a menacing villain such as a ghost, a witch, or a vengeful spirit makes it scarier. Also, an innocent victim, like a curious child or a lost hiker, adds to the tension. For example, when a little girl explores a haunted house and is chased by a ghost. The contrast between the vulnerable and the terrifying creates a good scare. Another element is the build - up of suspense. Starting with small, strange happenings and gradually increasing the horror until the climax, like in the story of the hiker in the forest following a light that turns out to be a witch's lair.

You can use sound effects. For example, play some creaking door sounds or howling wind noises in the background while telling the story. It'll add to the spooky atmosphere.

A good scary sleepover story often has an element of the unknown. For example, a mysterious figure or a strange noise that can't be explained easily. It should also build suspense, like starting with a normal situation and gradually introducing creepy elements.

There's the story of 'The Vanishing Friend'. During a sleepover, the reader and friends are chatting and having fun. Suddenly, one of their friends disappears without a trace. They search the whole house - under the beds, in the closets. As they continue to look, they start to notice that things are moving on their own. Pictures on the wall turn upside down, and doors open and close by themselves. Then, they find a note written in what seems like blood that says 'You're next'.

One classic horror story for kids is 'The Monkey's Paw'. It's about a family who gets a magical monkey's paw that can grant wishes, but every wish comes with a horrible price. Another is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' which is about a man who is driven mad by an old man's 'evil eye' and ends up killing him, only to be haunted by the sound of the old man's still - beating heart.

I'm sorry, Alexa can't sing a scary story directly. But I can tell you a short scary story. There was an old, abandoned house at the end of a dark lane. People said it was haunted. One night, a curious girl decided to enter. As she stepped inside, the door slammed shut behind her. She heard strange whispers and saw shadowy figures moving in the corners. Terrified, she tried to find a way out, but every door she opened led to a darker, scarier room.

One super scary sleepover story is about a haunted doll. A group of friends were having a sleepover at an old house. They found a creepy doll in the attic. That night, they heard strange noises like the doll was moving around on its own. And when they woke up in the morning, the doll was sitting right beside one of their beds with a sinister look on its face.

Here's another. At a sleepover in a cabin in the woods, the friends heard strange scratching noises on the window all night. One brave friend peeked outside and saw a pair of red eyes staring back at him. He quickly pulled back the curtain. Then they heard something climbing on the roof. They huddled together in fear until morning, not knowing what was outside trying to get in.

A great sleepover scary story has an element of the unknown. It's the things that you can't see clearly that are the scariest. For example, in 'The Woman in Black', the titular character is often just a shadowy figure in the distance, her face hidden. This makes the reader or listener's imagination run wild with all kinds of horrible possibilities.
