One Sunday Morning

**One Sunday Morning** is a story about a woman who has a scary experience inside a church. The story appears in More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Based on an anecdote from Alexander Krappe of a German physician in the 19th century of a 17 year old boy sleepwalking.

## The Story

Ida always went to the seven o'clock Sunday morning service at her church. Usually she heard the clanging of the church bells while she was eating breakfast. But this morning she heard them while she was still in bed. "That means I'm late," she thought.

Ida jumped out of bed, quickly dressed and left without eating or looking at the clock. It was still dark outside, but it usually was dark at this time of year. Ida was the only one on the street. The only sounds she heard were the clatter of her shoes on the pavement. "Everybody must already be in church," she thought. Ida took a short cut through the cemetery, then she quietly slipped into the church and found a seat. The service had already begun.

When she caught her breath, Ida looked around. The church was filled with people she had never seen before. But the woman next to her did look familiar. Ida smiled at her. "It's Josephine Kerr," she thought. "But she's dead! She died a month ago." Suddenly Ida felt uneasy. She looked around again. As her eyes began to adjust to the dim light, Ida saw some skeletons in suits and dresses. "This is a service for the dead," Ida thought. "Everybody here is dead, except me."

Ida noticed that some of them were staring at her. They looked angry, as if she had no business there. Josephine Kerr leaned toward her and whispered, "Leave right after the benediction, if you care for your life." When the service came to an end, the minister gave his blessing. "The Lord bless you and keep you," he said. "The Lord make his face to shine upon you..." Ida grabbed her coat and walked quickly toward the door. When she heard footsteps behind her, she glanced back. Several of the dead were coming toward her. Others were getting up to join them. "The Lord lift up his countenance to you..." the minister went on.

Ida was so frightened she began to run. Out the door she ran, with a pack of shrieking ghosts at her heels. "Get out!" one of them screamed. Another shouted, "You don't belong here!" and ripped her coat away. As Ida ran through the cemetery, a third grabbed the hat from her head. "Don't come back!" it screamed, and shook its arm at her. By the time Ida reached the street, the sun was rising, and the dead had disappeared. "Did this really happen?" Ida asked herself, "or have I been dreaming?"

That afternoon one of Ida's friends brought over her coat and hat, or what was left of them. They had been found in the cemetery, torn to shreds.

## The Story

Tom Connors was on his way to a dance in the next village. It was a long walk through fields and woods. But it was a soft, sweet evening and he loved dancing, so Tom didn't mind.
He had gone only a short distance when he noticed a young woman following him. "Maybe she is going to the dance," he thought, and he stopped and waited for her. As the woman got closer, he saw that it was Kate Faherty. They had danced together many times.

He was about to call "Hello, Kate!" When suddenly he remembered that Kate was dead. She had died last year, yet there she was all dressed up for the dance. Tom wanted to run, but somehow it didn't seem right to run from Kate. He turned and started to walk away as fast as he could, but Kate followed him. He took a shortcut across a field, but still she followed. When he got to the dance hall, she was right behind him. There were a lot of people standing outside, and Tom tried to loose Kate in the crowd. He worked his way to the side of the building, then squeezed up against the wall behind some people.

But Kate followed. She came so close she brushed up against him. Then she stopped and waited. He wanted to say "Hello Kate!" just the way he did when she was alive. But he was so frightened he couldn't speak. Her eyes looked into his eyes--and she vanished.

## The Story

When Arthur and Anne were in high school, they fell in love. They were both big, fat, and jolly and seemed suited to one another. But as sometimes happens, things didn't work out.

Arthur moved away and married someone else, and Anne didn't marry anyone. And not too many years later, she got sick and died. Some said it was from a broken heart. One day, Arthur was driving to a small town not far from where he and Anne had grown up. Soon he realized that a hog was following him. No matter how fast Arthur drove, the hog stayed right behind. Each time he looked back, there was the hog. It began to irritate him.

Finally he couldn't stand it any longer. He stopped his car and rapped the hog on its snout good and hard. 'Get out of here, you fat, dirty thing! he shouted. To his astonishment, the hog spoke to him, and it was Anne's voice he heard. "It's her ghost!" he thought. "She has come back as a hog!"

"I was doing no harm, Arthur," the hog said. "I was just out for a brisk walk, enjoying myself. How could you strike me after all that we meant to one another?" With that, she turned and trotted away.
Alligators

**Alligators** is a story from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It tells the story of a man who is suspected of turning into an alligator. The story is based on "The Alligator Story" in Sticks in the Knapsack by Vance Randolph.

## Plot

A young woman in town married a man from another part of the country. He was a nice fellow, and they got along pretty well together. There was only one problem. Every night he'd go swimming in the river. Sometimes he would be gone all night long, and she would complain about how lonely she was.

This couple had two young sons. As soon as the boys could walk, their father began to teach them how to swim. And when they got to be old enough, he took them swimming in the river at night. Often they would stay there all night long, and the young woman would stay home all by herself.
After a while, she began to act in a strange way--at least, that is what the neighbors said. She told them that her husband was turning into an alligator, and that he was trying to turn the boys into alligators.

Everybody told her there was nothing wrong with a man taking his sons swimming. That was a natural thing to do. And when it came to alligators, there just weren't any nearby. Everyone knew that.

Early one morning, the young woman came running into town from the direction of the river. She was soaking wet. She said a big alligator and two little alligators had pulled her in and had tried to get her to eat a raw fish. They were her husband and her sons, she said, and they wanted her to live with them. But she had gotten away.

Her doctor decided she had lost her mind, and he had her put in the hospital for a while. After that nobody saw her husband and boys again. They just disappeared.

But now and then a fisherman would tell about seeing alligators in the river at night. Usually it was one big alligator and two small ones. But people said they were just making it up. Everybody knows there aren't any alligators around here.
The corpse

There were two men named Dan and Logan, and they were in the woods when they saw a burnt down house. They entered the house and saw a burnt couch, a broken lamp, and a ripped newspaper. Dan picked up the newspaper and read it ."The danards mansion was burned down by-". The newspaper was ripped at the spot where it said who burnt it down. Suddenly the door slammed shut and both of their flashlights turned off. Then a voice called out and said one word "Dan",then again"Dan", then it got louder "DAN" and Dan started screaming. Logan was terrified as Dan's screams got quieter and quieter and quieter until they were gone. Then the voice came back "come to me Logan" even though Logan was scared, he still did what the voice said. The voice got louder and then grabbed his arm and Logan saw the other half of the newspaper. "What do you want" he said, the flashlight turned back on and Logan was terrified at the sight of a corpse. It said "read" and so he did, " Logan Miller who escaped the police and was on the run" Logan was confused, then the corpse said "mommy and daddy were too boring so little Lonny danard wanted to play with fire". Logan had realised what the newspaper meant, the corpse had burnt the mansion down and made it to where it was like Logan had burnt it down. When the police entered the house, the corpse was no longer there, but there was still a corpse in the chair, it was Dan's corpse with a note that said I trusted you with my life. Logan was found guilty and hung the next day, and the corpse was never seen again.
Like Cats' Eyes

**Like Cats' Eyes** is a story from Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill your Bones. It tells the story of a woman who sees a suspicious group of men with cat eyes. Inspired by a story by Augustus Hare.

## The Story

As Jim Brand lay dying, his wife left him with his nurse and went into the next room to rest. She sat in the dark staring into the night. Suddenly Mrs. Brand saw headlights come rapidly up the driveway. "Oh, no," she thought. "I don't want visitors now, not now." But it wasn't a car bringing a visitor. It was an old hearse with maybe a half dozen small men hanging from the sides. At least, that's what it looked like.

The hearse screeched to a stop. The men jumped off and stared up at her, their eyes glowing with a soft, yellow light, like cats' eyes. She watched with horror as they disappeared into the house.

An instant later they were back, lifting something into the hearse. Then they drove off at high speed, wheels squealing, the gravel in the driveway flying in all directions. At that moment the nurse came in to say that Jim Brand had died.
The Attic

**The Attic** is a story from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The story concludes with a comedic ending.

## The Story

A man named Rupert lived with his dog in a house deep in the woods. Rupert was a hunter and a trapper. The dog was a big German shepherd named Sam. Rupert had raised Sam from a pup.
Almost every morning, Rupert went hunting, and Sam stayed behind and guarded the house.

One morning, as Rupert was checking his traps, he got the feeling that something was wrong at home. He hurried back as fast as he could, but when he got there, he found that Sam was missing. He searched the house and the woods nearby, but Sam was nowhere to be seen. He called and he called, but the dog did not answer. For days Rupert looked for Sam, but he could find no trace of him. Finally he gave up and went back to his work.

But one morning, he heard something moving in the attic. He picked up his gun. Then he thought, "I'd better be quiet about this." So he took off his boots. And in his bare feet, he began to climb the attic stairs. He slowly took one step-- then another-- then another, until at last he reached the attic door. He stood outside listening, but he didn't hear a thing. Then he opened the door, and--

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

[At this point, the storyteller stops, as if he has finished. Then usually somebody will ask, "Why did Rupert scream?"
The storyteller replies, "You'd scream too if you stepped on a nail in your bare feet."]

Two farmhands shared a room. One slept at the back of the room. The other slept near the door. After a while, the one who slept near the door began to feel very tired early in the day. His friend asked what was wrong.

"An awful thing happens every night," he said. "A witch turns me into a horse and rides me all over the countryside." "I'll sleep in your bed tonight," his friend said. "We'll see what happens to me." About midnight, an old woman who lived nearby came into the room. She mumbled some strange words over the farmhand, and he found he couldn't move. Then she slipped a bridle on him, and he turned into a horse.

The next thing he knew, she was riding him across the fields at breakneck speed, beating him to make him go even faster. Soon they came to a house where a party was going on. There was a lot of music and dancing. They were having a big time inside. She hitched him to a fence and went in. While she was gone, the farmhand rubbed against the fence until the bridle came off, and he turned back into a human being.

Then he went into the house and found the witch. He spoke those strange words over her, and with
the bridle, he turned her into a horse. Then he rode her to a blacksmith and had her fitted with horseshoes. After that, he rode her to the farm where she lived. "I have a pretty good filly here," he told her husband, "but I need a stronger horse. Would you like to trade?"

The old man looked her over, and he said he would do it. So they picked out another horse, and the farmhand rode away. Her husband led his new horse to the barn. He took off the bridle and went to hang it up. But when he came back, the new horse was gone. Instead, there stood his wife with horseshoes nailed to her hands and feet.

"That's not true," one of the girls said. "It's just a superstition." "I'll give you a dollar if you stand on a grave," said the boy. "A grave doesn't scare me," said the girl. "I'll do it right now." The boy handed her his knife. "Stick this knife in one of the graves," he said. "Then we'll know you were there."

The graveyard was filled with shadows and was as quiet as death. "There is nothing to be scared of," the girl told herself, but she was scared anyway. She picked out a grave and stood on it.

A farmer had a daughter for whom he cared more than anything on earth. She fell in love with a farmhand named Jim, but the farmer did not think Jim was good enough for his daughter. To keep them apart, he sent her to live with her uncle on the other side of the county.

Soon after she left, Jim got sick and he wasted away and died. Everyone said he died of a broken heart. The farmer felt so guilty about Jim's death, he could not tell his daughter what had happened. She continued to think about Jim and the life they might have had together. One night many weeks later, there was a knock on her uncle's door. When the girl opened the door, Jim was standing there.

"Your father asked me to get you," he said. "I came on his best horse." "Is there anything wrong?" she asked. "I don't know," he said. She packed a few things and they left. She rode behind him, clinging to his waist. Soon he complained of a headache. "It aches something terrible," he told her. She put her hand on his forehead. "Why, you are as cold as clay," she said. "I hope you are not ill," and she wrapped her handkerchief around his head.

They traveled so swiftly that in a few hours they reached the farm. The girl quickly dismounted and knocked on the door. Her father was startled to see her. "Didn't you send for me?" she asked. "No, I didn't," he said. She turned to Jim, but he was gone and so was the horse. They went to the stable to look for them. The horse was there. It was covered with sweat and trembling with fear.

Strange and Scary Things

**Strange And Scary Things** is the prologue to Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It dives into the history and purpose of telling scary stories.

## The Story

Pioneers used to entertain themselves by telling scary stories. At night they might gather in somebody's cabin or around a fire, and see who could scare the others the most.

Some girls and boys in my town do the same thing today. They get together at somebody's house, and they turn out the lights and eat popcorn, and scare one another half to death. Telling scary stories is something people have done for thousands of years, for most of us *like* being scared in that way. Since there isn't any danger, we think it is fun. There are a great many scary stories to tell. There are ghost stories. There are tales of witches, devils, bogey-men, zombies, and vampires. There are tales of monstrous creatures and of other dangers. There even are stories that make us laugh at all this scariness.

Some of these tales are very old, and they are told around the world. And most have the same origins. They are based on things that people saw or heard or experienced - or thought they did. Many years ago a young prince became famous for a scary story he started to tell, but did not finish. His name was Mamillius, and he probably was nine or ten years old. William Shakespeare told about him in *The Winter's Tale*.

It was on a dark winter's day that his mother, the queen, asked him for a story. "A sad tale's best for winter," he said. "I have one of sprites and goblins." "Do your best to frighten me with your sprites," she said. "You're powerful at it." "I shall tell is softly," he said. "Yong crickets shall not hear it." And then he began, "There was a man dwelt by a church yard." But that was as far as he got. For at that moment the king came in and arrested the queen and took her away. And soon after that, Mamillius died. No one knows how he would have finished his story. If you started as he did, what would you tell?

Most scary stories are, of course, meant to be told. They are more scary that way. But *how* you tell them is important. As Mamillius knew, the best way is to speak softly, so that your listeners lean forward to catch your words, and to speak slowly, so that your voice sounds scary. And the best time to tell these stories is at night. In the dark and the gloom, it is easy for someone listening to imagine all sorts of strange and scary things.

Princeton, New Jersey - Alvin Schwartz
A Man Who Lived In Leeds

**A Man Who Lived In Leeds** is a short song from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. The song is implying that a man who loved to work on his garden had an intruder come into his home and killed him.

## Lyrics

Some say this rhyme doesn't mean anything. Others are not so sure.

There was a man who lived in Leeds,

He filled his garden full of seeds.

And when the seeds began to grow,

It was like a garden filled with snow.

But when the snow began to melt,

It was like a ship without a belt.

And when the ship began to sail,

It was like a bird without a tail.

And when the bird began to fly,

It was like an eagle in the sky.

And when the sky began to roar,

It was like a lion at my door.

And when the door began to crack,

It was like a penknife in my back.

And when my back began to bleed,

I was dead, dead, dead indeed!

“AAAAAAAAAAAH!”
Wonderful Sausage

Wonderful Sausage is a scary story about a butcher in New Orleans who murders people, grinds them up and sells them as meat. It is based on a supposedly true story recounted in Gumbo Ya-Ya as "The Ghost Who Walked The Sausage Factory". As well as inspired by a song called "Donderback's Machine." A different version of this story appeared in More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

## The Story

One dark, rainy Saturday afternoon, a fat and jolly butcher named Samuel Blunt had an argument over money with his wife, Eloise. Blunt lost his temper and killed Eloise. Then he ground her up into sausage meat and buried her bones under a big flat rock in the backyard. To keep the murder a secret, he told everyone she had moved away.

Blunt mixed his new sausage meat with pork, then seasoned it with salt and pepper, added some sage and thyme and a bit of garlic. To give it a special flavor, he smoked it in his smokehouse for a while. He called it "Blunt's Special Sausage." There was such a demand for this new sausage that Blunt bought the best hogs he could find and started raising his own pork. He also kept a sharp lookout for humans who might make a tasty sausage meat.

One day a nice, plump schoolteacher came into his shop. Blunt grabbed her and ground her up. Another time Blunt's dentist came by. He was a little, round man, and into the grinder he went. Then one by one, the children in the neighborhood began to disappear. And so did their kittens and puppies. But no one ever dreamed that Blunt the butcher had anything to do with it. Things went on that way for years. Then one day Blunt made a big mistake. A fat boy came into the butcher shop. Blunt grabbed him and started to drag him off to the sausage grinder. But the boy broke loose, and ran out of the shop, and Blunt chased after him waving a big butcher knife.

When people saw this, they realized at once what had become of all the missing children and grown-ups and kittens and puppies. An angry crowd gathered at the butcher shop. No one knows for sure just what happened to Blunt that day. Some say he was fed to his hogs. Others say he was fed to his sausage grinder. But he was never seen again, and neither was his wonderful sausage meat.
The Bed by the Window

**The Bed by the Window** is a story from More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It is about a man in a nursing home who desperately wants to lay next to a window and will do any means necessary to achieve his goal. Based on the story "Try and Stop Me" by Bennett A. Cerf.

## The Story

The three old men shared a room at the nursing home. Their room had only one window, but for them it was the only link to the real world. Ted Conklin, who had been there the longest, had the bed next to the window. When Ted died, the man in the next bed, George Best, took his place; and the third man, Richard Greene, took George’s bed.

Despite his illness, George was a cheerful man who spent his days describing the sights he could see from his bed- pretty girls, a policeman on horseback, a traffic jam, a pizza parlor, a fire station and other scenes of life outside. Richard loved to listen to George. But the more George talked about life outside, the more Richard wanted to see it for himself. Yet he knew that only when George died would he have his chance. He wanted to look out that window so badly that one day he decided to kill George. “He is going to die soon, anyway,” he told himself. “What difference would it make?”

George had a bad heart. If he had an attack during the night and a nurse could not get to him right away, he had pills he could take. He kept them in a bottle on top of the cabinet between his bed and Richards. All Richard had to do was knock the bottle to the floor where George could not reach it.

A few nights later George died just as Richard had planned he would. And the next morning Richard was moved to the bed by the window. Now he would see for himself all the things outside that George had described. After the nurses had left, Richard turned to the window and looked out. But all he could see was a blank brick wall.
Sam's New Pet

**Sam's New Pet** is a scary story from Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill your Bones. It is based off a famous urban legend about a woman who goes to Mexico and finds a stray dog. Originally from "The Mexican Pet: New Urban Legends and Some Old Favorites" by Jan Brunvard.

## Plot

Sam stayed with his grandmother when his parents went to Mexico for their vacation. "We are going to bring you back
something nice," his mother told him. "It will be a surprise." Before they came home, Sam's parents looked for something Sam would like. All they could find was a beautiful sombrero. It cost too much. But that afternoon, while
they were eating their lunch in a park, they decided to buy the sombrero after all. Sam's father threw what was
left of their sandwiches to some stray dogs, and they walked back to the marketplace. One of the animals followed
them. It was a small, gray creature with short hair, short legs, and a long tail. Wherever they went, it went. "Isn't
he cute!" Sam's mother said. "He must be one of those Mexican Hairless dogs. Sam would love him." "He's probably
somebody's pet," Sam's father said. They asked several people if they knew who its owners were, but no one did.
They just smiled and shrugged their shoulders. Finally, Sam's mother said, "Maybe he's just a stray. Let's take him
home with us. We can give him a good home, and Sam will love him." It is against the law to take a pet across the
border, but Sam's parents hid the animal in a box and no one saw it.

When they got home, they showed it to
Sam. "He's a pretty small dog," said Sam. "He's a Mexican dog," his father said. "I'm not sure what kind. I think
it's called a Mexican Hairless. We'll find out. But he's nice, isn't he?" They gave the new pet some dog food. Then
they washed it and brushed it and combed its fur. That night it slept on Sam's bed. When Sam awakened the next
morning, his pet was still there. "Mother," he called, "the dog has a cold." The animal's eyes were running, and there
was something white around its mouth. Later that morning, Sam's mother took it to a veterinarian. "Where did you get
him?" the vet asked. "In Mexico," she said. "We think he's a Mexican Hairless. I was going to ask you about that." "He's not a hairless ," the vet said. "He's not even a dog. He's a sewer rat--and he has rabies."

The Brown Suit

**The Brown Suit**The is the twenty-sixth story from More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. This story is meant to be comedic.

## Plot

A woman came to the funeral parlor to see her husband's corpse and when she saw it, she appreicated the undertaker for making her husband's corpse look like how he originally was, though she informed undertaker that her husband wore a brown suit as opposed to the blue suit the undertaker putted him in. The undertaker had no issue with dressing the husband's corpse in a brown suit, and change it with little ease.

The woman later returned to find her husband's corpse wearing a brown suit. After seeing it, she told the undertaker how her husband's corpse looked the way he originally looked like, and that she knew that he went through much trouble to retain her husband's original appearance.

"It was no trouble," he said. "As it happened, there is a man here who was wearing a brown suit, and his widow felt that blue would be better. He is about your husband's size. So we gave him the blue one and gave your husband the brown one."

"Even so," she said, "changing all that clothing was a big job."

"Not really," said the undertaker. "All we did was exchange their heads."

The next night the ghost was back. It was sitting on her bed, staring at her. Sarah called to her parents and they came running. "It's on my bed!" she said. "It's looking and looking at me!"

But after they left, there it was again, sitting on her bed, staring at her. "Why are you doing this to me?" Sarah asked. "Why don't you leave me alone?" The ghost put its fingers in its ears, and wiggled them at her. Then it stuck its tongue out and went "T-H-U-P-P-P-P-P-P-P!".

Room for One More

* Original
* Reprint

**Room for One More** is a scary story from the book Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It is based on a supposedly true ghost story from Ireland called "Lord Dufferin's Ghost Story" or "A Ghostly Warning"

## Plot

A man named Joseph Blackwell came to Philadelphia on a business trip. He stay with friends in the big house they owned outside the city. That night they had a good time visiting. But when Blackwell went to bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Sometime during the night he heard a car turn into the driveway. He went to the window to see who was arriving at such a late hour. In the moonlight, he saw a long, black hearse filled with people.

The driver of the hearse looked up at him. When Blackwell saw his queer, hideous face, he shuddered. The driver called to him, "There is room for one more." Then he waited for a minute or two, and he drove off.

In the morning Blackwell told his friends what had happened. "You were dreaming." they said.

"I must have been," he said, "but it didn't seem like a dream."

After Breakfast he went into Philadelphia. He spent the day high above the city in one of the new office buildings there.

Late in the afternoon he was waiting for an elevator to take him back down to the street. But when it arrived, it was very crowded. One of the passengers looked out and called to him, "there is room for one more," he said. It was the driver of the hearse.

"No thanks," said Blackwell. "I'll get the next one." The doors closed, and the elevator started down. There was shrieking and screaming, then the sound of a crash. The elevator had fallen to the bottom of the shaft. Everyone aboard was killed.
Strange And Scary Things

**Strange And Scary Things** is the prologue to Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. It dives into the history and purpose of telling scary stories.

## The Story

Pioneers used to entertain themselves by telling scary stories. At night they might gather in somebody's cabin or around a fire, and see who could scare the others the most.

Some girls and boys in my town do the same thing today. They get together at somebody's house, and they turn out the lights and eat popcorn, and scare one another half to death. Telling scary stories is something people have done for thousands of years, for most of us *like* being scared in that way. Since there isn't any danger, we think it is fun. There are a great many scary stories to tell. There are ghost stories. There are tales of witches, devils, bogey-men, zombies, and vampires. There are tales of monstrous creatures and of other dangers. There even are stories that make us laugh at all this scariness.

Some of these tales are very old, and they are told around the world. And most have the same origins. They are based on things that people saw or heard or experienced - or thought they did. Many years ago a young prince became famous for a scary story he started to tell, but did not finish. His name was Mamillius, and he probably was nine or ten years old. William Shakespeare told about him in *The Winter's Tale*.

It was on a dark winter's day that his mother, the queen, asked him for a story. "A sad tale's best for winter," he said. "I have one of sprites and goblins." "Do your best to frighten me with your sprites," she said. "You're powerful at it." "I shall tell is softly," he said. "Yong crickets shall not hear it." And then he began, "There was a man dwelt by a church yard." But that was as far as he got. For at that moment the king came in and arrested the queen and took her away. And soon after that, Mamillius died. No one knows how he would have finished his story. If you started as he did, what would you tell?

Most scary stories are, of course, meant to be told. They are more scary that way. But *how* you tell them is important. As Mamillius knew, the best way is to speak softly, so that your listeners lean forward to catch your words, and to speak slowly, so that your voice sounds scary. And the best time to tell these stories is at night. In the dark and the gloom, it is easy for someone listening to imagine all sorts of strange and scary things.
