The characters are relatable. Even in the scariest of situations, you can understand their fear and reactions. For example, when a character is trapped in a haunted place, their panic and attempts to escape are very real - feeling. This makes the stories more engaging as we can put ourselves in their shoes. Also, the unexpected twists in the stories keep you on the edge of your seat. Just when you think you know what's going to happen, something completely different occurs.
Sunday is often associated with peace and rest in many cultures. So, perhaps people don't like to think of scary things on a day that's typically set aside for relaxation and religious activities. It goes against the general mood of the day.
One classic Sunday morning scary story could be about an old abandoned house on the edge of town. People say that on Sunday mornings, if you pass by it, you can hear strange hymn - like singing coming from inside. But when you look in the windows, there's no one there. It's as if the ghosts of the former residents are still having their Sunday service.
There's also a story about a cursed object. This object seems normal at first, but then strange things start happening to the people who come into contact with it. It spreads bad luck and fear among those around it. Coryxkenshin does a great job of building up the suspense in this story.
He uses vivid descriptions. For example, when he describes a spooky place, you can almost see it in your mind. He might say things like 'the walls were damp and covered in a strange moss that seemed to move on its own' which really sets the scene.
One Sunday, I was walking in an old cemetery. The tombstones were weathered and moss - covered. As I passed by one particular grave, I heard a faint whisper. I froze, my heart pounding. I thought it was just the wind at first, but then the whisper grew louder, saying 'leave this place'. I ran as fast as I could out of the cemetery, never looking back.
One really scary story from Coryxkenshin is about the haunted house. It has all these spooky elements like strange noises at night and things moving on their own. The atmosphere he creates makes it super terrifying.
Once upon a time, in an old, abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town, there lived a ghost. People said that at midnight, you could see a faint figure in the attic window. A young girl named Lily was dared by her friends to spend a night there. As she entered the mansion, the door creaked shut behind her. Every step she took on the creaky floorboards echoed through the empty halls. In the middle of the night, she heard a strange wailing sound. She tried to run, but the doors seemed locked. Then, she saw a cold, white hand reaching out from under the bed.
One scary sleepover story could be about a haunted doll. A group of friends at a sleepover found an old doll in the attic. During the night, they heard strange giggling coming from the doll. When they looked at it, its eyes seemed to follow them around the room. They were so scared that they locked the doll in a closet, but the giggling continued until morning.
One spooky story is about the old abandoned house on the hill. People say that at midnight, you can see a strange figure in the window.
