The idea that kids can be part of the spooky world in these stories is what makes them so scary. In normal life, we protect kids from harm and danger. But in spooky kid Halloween stories, they can be the ones causing the fear or being in danger themselves. For instance, a story where a group of kids go into a haunted forest on Halloween and start to act possessed. It's a deviation from our normal perception of kids, and that's what sends shivers down our spines.
One spooky kid story is about the 'Girl in the Mirror'. Legend has it that if you stare into a mirror in a dark room at midnight, you might see a strange girl. She's said to be a spirit trapped in the mirror dimension. Another is the 'Haunted School Bus'. Kids on a particular school bus route would hear unexplained noises and see shadowy figures at the back of the bus.
The spooky story of the abandoned school is quite scary. The school had been empty for years. One day, a new family moved into the town, and their son heard about the school. He went there one afternoon. As he walked through the hallways, he heard the sound of children laughing and desks opening and closing. But there was no one there. He got so scared that he never went back again.
One spooky story could be about a haunted house. There was an old, creaky house at the end of the street. Kids would always dare each other to go near it. One day, a brave kid named Tim went close. He heard strange noises coming from inside, like whispers and moans. He peeked through the dusty window and saw a shadowy figure moving. Scared, he ran away as fast as he could. But the memory of that figure stayed with him, and he always wondered what it could have been.

One short spooky kid story is about a little girl who moved into an old house. Every night, she heard strange scratching noises coming from the attic. One day, she bravely climbed up to the attic.
