Stories with signs today
It is absolutely clear that horror stories happened not only in the old days. They still happen now. Nearby, here, in our city, in the neighboring area and even on the next street. And since on the next street and in the neighboring area there are no vampires, no space aliens, no people with bear heads, all these today's stories have an absolutely everyday flavor.
With a focus on pies from human meat, blood bags and other everyday horrors. Read and be horrified. "It was today, it was yesterday."
Black hand
In city N there was a hotel using notoriety. A red light was burning above the door of one of her rooms. This meant that people were missing in the room.
One day a young man came to the hotel and asked for a place to stay for the night. The director replied that free seats no, except for that ill-fated room with the red light. The guy was not afraid and went to spend the night in this room. In the morning he was not in the room.
In the evening of the same day, another guy came, who had just served in the army. The hotel director gave him a place in the same room. The guy was strange: he did not recognize mattresses and feather beds and slept on the floor, wrapped in a blanket. In addition, he suffered from insomnia. She visited him that night as well. It’s already past eleven, it’s almost twelve, but sleep doesn’t come. It's struck midnight!
Suddenly something clicked and rustled under the bed, and the Black Hand appeared from under it. She tore the pillow with terrible force and dragged it under the bed. The guy jumped up, quickly got dressed and went to look for the hotel director. But he wasn’t there. He was not at home either. Then the guy called the police and asked to urgently come to the hotel. The police began a thorough search. One of the policemen noticed that the bed was attached to the floor with special screws. Having unscrewed the screws and moved the bed, the police saw a chest with a button on one of its walls. Pressed the button. The lid of the chest rose sharply, but silently. And from it appeared Black Hand. It was attached to a thick steel spring. The hand was cut off and sent for investigation. The chest was moved - and everyone saw a hole in the floor. We decided to go down there. There were as many as seven doors in front of the police. They opened the first one and saw lifeless, bloodless corpses. They opened the second one - skeletons lay there. They opened the third one - there was only skin there. In the fourth lay fresh corpses, from which blood flowed into basins. In the fifth, people in white coats were cutting up corpses. We went into the sixth room - people stood along long tables and packed blood into bags. We went into the seventh room and were dumbfounded! The hotel director himself sat there on a high chair.
The director admitted everything. At this time there was a war between the two states. As in any war, it was required large quantity donor blood. The director was associated with one of the states. He was offered to organize the production of such blood for a huge sum, and he agreed and developed a plan with the Black Hand.
The hotel was brought into divine shape and a new director was appointed. The light bulb above the door of the ill-fated room disappeared. The city now lives peacefully and sees wonderful dreams at night.
One day, a mother sent her daughter to the market to buy pies. An old woman was selling pies. When the girl approached her, the old lady said. That the pies have already run out, but if she goes to her house, she will treat her to pies. The girl agreed. When they came to her house, the old woman sat the girl on the sofa and asked her to wait. She went to another room, where there were some buttons. The old woman pressed the button - and the girl failed. The old woman made new pies and ran to the market. The girl’s mother waited and waited and, without waiting for her daughter, ran to the market. She didn't find her daughter. I bought some pies from the same old lady and returned home. When she took a bite of one pie, she saw a blue nail in it. And her daughter just painted her nails this morning. Mom immediately ran to the police. The police arrived at the market and caught the old woman.
It turned out that she lured people to her home, sat them on the sofa, and people fell through. Under the sofa was a large meat grinder full of human meat. The old woman made pies out of it and sold it at the market. At first they wanted to execute the old woman, and then they gave her life imprisonment.
Taxi driver and old woman
A taxi driver is driving late at night and sees an old woman standing by the road. Votes. The taxi driver stopped. The old woman sat down and said: “Take me to the cemetery, I need to see my son!” The taxi driver says: “It’s late, I need to go to the park.” But the old woman persuaded him. They arrived at the cemetery. The old woman says: “Wait for me here, I’ll be right back!”
Half an hour passes and she is gone. Suddenly an old woman appears and says: “He is not here, I was mistaken. Let's go to something else!" The taxi driver says: “What are you talking about! It’s night already!” And she told him: “Take it, take it. I'll pay you well!" They arrived at another cemetery. The old woman again asked to wait and left. Half an hour passes, an hour passes. An old woman appears, angry and dissatisfied with something. “He’s not here either. Take it,” he says, “to something else!” The taxi driver wanted to drive her away. But she still persuaded him, and they went. The old woman left. She doesn't exist and doesn't exist. The taxi driver's eyes were already starting to droop. Suddenly he hears the door open. He raised his head and saw: an old woman standing at the door, smiling. His mouth is bloody, his hands are bloody, he picks out a piece of meat from his mouth...
The taxi driver turned pale: “Grandma, did you eat dead people?”
4 of the creepiest horror stories of our childhood. You will turn gray like the first time!
Remember when we told each other in the camps about the red hand and black curtains? And there was always such a master of storytelling, from whom a familiar story took on the contours of a long and exciting thriller no worse than King’s.
We remembered four such stories. Don't read them in the dark!
Black curtains
One girl's grandmother died. When she was dying, she called the girl’s mother to her and said:
Do what you want with my room, but don’t hang black curtains there.
They hung white curtains in the room, and now the girl began to live there. And everything was fine.
But one day she went with the bad guys to burn tires. They decided to burn the tires in the cemetery, right on an old grave that had collapsed. They began to argue about who would set the fire, drawing lots with matches, and it fell to the girl to set the fire. So she set a tire on fire, and smoke came out and straight into her eyes. Hurt! She screamed, the guys were scared for her and dragged her by the hands to the hospital. But she doesn't see anything.
At the hospital she was told that it was a miracle that her eyes were not burned out, and they prescribed a regimen - to sit at home with eyes closed and that the room was always dark and dark. And don't go to school. And no fire can be seen until he recovers!
Then the mother began to look for dark curtains for the girl’s room. I searched and searched, but there were no dark ones, only white, yellow, green light ones. And black ones. There was nothing to do, she bought black curtains and hung them in the girl’s room.
The next day my mother hung them up and went to work. And the girl sat down homework write at the table. She sits and feels something touching her elbow. She shook herself, looked, and there was nothing but curtains near her elbow. And so on several times.
The next day she feels something touching her shoulders. He jumps up, and there is nothing around, only the curtains hanging nearby.
On the third day, she immediately moved the chair to the far end of the table. She’s sitting, writing her homework, and something is touching her neck! The girl jumped up and ran to the kitchen, and did not enter the room.
Mom came, the lessons were not written, she began to scold the girl. And the girl began to cry and ask her mother not to leave her in that room.
Mom says:
You can't be such a coward! Look, I’ll sit at your table all night today while you sleep, so that you know that there’s nothing wrong.
In the morning the girl wakes up, calls her mother, but her mother is silent. The girl began to cry loudly from fear, the neighbors came running, and her mother was sitting dead at the table. They took her to the morgue.
Then the girl went to the kitchen, took matches, returned to the bedroom and set fire to the black curtains. They burned, but it made her eyes leak out.
Sister
One girl’s father died, and her mother was very poor, she didn’t work and couldn’t do it, and they had to sell the apartment. They went to grandma’s old house in the village; grandma had died two years ago, and no one lived there. But it was decent there, because a neighbor cleaned it up for money. And the girl and her mother began to live there. The girl had a long way to go to school, and she was given a certificate that she studied at home, and only went to take all sorts of exams and tests at the end of the quarter at school in the regional center, so she and her mother sat at home all day, only sometimes they went to the store, also to the regional center. And my mother was pregnant, and her belly was growing.
He grew for a long, long time, and grew twice as big as usual, so the child was not born for so long. Then my mother seemed to go to the store in the winter, and she was gone for almost a week, the girl was completely exhausted: she was scared at home alone, the windows were black, the electricity was intermittent, there were snowdrifts up to the very windows. The food was running out, but her neighbor fed her. And then late in the evening, or at night, there was a knock on the door and my mother’s voice called out to the girl. The girl opened it and her mother came in. She was all pale, with blue circles around her eyes, thin and tired. She gave birth to a child and held him in her arms, wrapped in some kind of shabby skin, maybe even a dog's. The girl quickly closed the door, put the child on the table, and began to undress the mother - she was very cold, she was all icy. The girl lit a fire in the iron stove, near this stove they warmed themselves in the evenings, and sat the mother down in an old armchair, and then went to see the child.
I slowly unfolded it, and there was such a child that it was immediately clear that this was not a newborn or even a baby. There's another girl there three years old or four, the face is small and angry, and there are no arms or legs.
Oh mom, who is this? - the girl asked, and her mother said:
All babies are ugly at first. When my little sister grows up, everything will be fine. Give it to me.
She took the baby in her arms and began to breastfeed. And that girl sucks her breast as if nothing had happened, and looks at the first girl slyly and maliciously.
And their names were Nastya and Olya, Olya - the one without arms and without legs.
And this Olya herself already ran and jumped perfectly, that is, she crawled very quickly, on her stomach. And she jumped on it, and she was able, like a caterpillar, to stand up and use her teeth, for example, to grab something and pull it towards herself. There was no way to save her. She knocked everything over, gnawed, spoiled it, and mom told Nastya to clean up after her, because Nastya was the eldest and also because mom was now feeling bad all the time, she was sick and even slept strangely, with with open eyes as if she was just lying there in a faint. Now Nastya cooked for herself and ate separately from her mother, because her mother had her own diet for nursing mothers. Life has become completely disgusting. If Nastya didn’t eat and didn’t clean up after the dirty little Olya, then her mother would send her either to get firewood or to do her homework, and Nastya spent the whole day and whole evening solving problems and writing exercises, and also taught all kinds of physics so that she could retell everything without stumbling over a single word. Mom did almost nothing, she kept feeding Olya or resting between feedings, because a nursing woman gets very tired, and everything was on Nastya, and washing Olya too, and Olya squirmed and laughed disgustingly, it was also a pleasure to wash her off the poop. But Nastya endured everything for the sake of her mother.
So a month or two passed, and the winter only became colder, and everything around was in snowdrifts, and the light bulbs that hung in the rooms without chandeliers flickered all the time and were very dim.
Suddenly Nastya began to notice that someone was approaching her at night and breathing over her face. At first she thought that it was her mother, as before, looking to see if she was sleeping well and whether the blanket had slipped, and then she looked through her eyelashes, and it was Olya standing upright by the bed and looking at her, and smiling so much that her heart was in her heels. .
Then Olya noticed that Nastya was looking, and said in a disgusting voice:
Who asked you to watch when you shouldn't? Now I will bite your fingers off. One finger per night. And then I’ll start eating my hands. And this is how my hands will grow.
And she immediately bit off Nastya’s little finger on her hand, and blood flowed from there. Nastya lay there in a daze, but she jumped up from the pain and screamed! But mom is still sleeping, and Olya is laughing and jumping.
Okay,” said Nastya. “I still can’t do anything with you.”
And she lay down as if to sleep. And I even fell asleep.
And in the morning Olya pooped herself again, and her mother told Nastya to wash her. It’s good that there was still firewood in the house, because due to the snowdrifts it was already impossible to reach the woodpile and the well too. Nastya took water for the bath directly from the snow, scooped up the snow with a bucket and heated it on the stove. The wound from the bitten finger hurt a lot, but Nastya didn’t say anything to her mother. I took Olya and began to bathe her in a baby bathtub that they had found in the attic when they were moving. Olya, as always, wriggles and giggles, and Nastya began to drown her. Then Olya broke up, fought terribly, bit Nastya all over, but Nastya drowned her anyway, and she stopped breathing, and then Nastya put her on the table and saw that her mother was still looking at the stove and did not notice anything. And then Nastya lost consciousness because a lot of blood was leaking from the bites.
During the night, the house was so covered with snow that the neighbor got scared and called rescuers. They arrived and dug up the house, and found inside a fainting girl with bitten hands, a dead mummified woman and a wooden doll without arms or legs.
Nastya was then sent to an orphanage for the deaf and dumb. She was actually mute and spoke to her mother with her hands.
The girl who played the piano
One girl with her mother and father moved into a new apartment, very beautiful, large, with a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, two bedrooms, and in the living room there was a German piano made of cherry wood. Do you know what polished cherry wood looks like? It is dark red and glistens like blood.
The piano was very necessary because the girl went to the community center to learn to play the piano.
And on new apartment something strange happened to the girl. She began to play this piano at night, although she had not really liked it before. Played quietly, but audible.
At first, her parents didn’t scold her, they thought she’d play enough and stop, but the girl didn’t stop.
They enter the hall, she stands near the piano, notes on the piano, and looks at her parents. They scold her, she is silent.
Then they began to lock the piano.
But the girl, incomprehensibly, opened the piano every night and played it.
They began to shame her, punish her, but she still plays the piano at night.
They began to lock her bedroom. And she, who knows how, gets out and plays again.
Then she was told that she would be sent to a boarding school. She cried and cried, they told her, give her your honest pioneer word that you won’t play anymore, but she was silent again. They sent me to a boarding school.
And the next day, someone strangled her mom and dad during the night.
They began to look for who could have strangled them, and asked the girl if she knew something. And then she told me.
It was not she who played the red piano. Every night she was woken up by flying white hands and told to turn over the notes while they played the piano. But she didn’t tell anyone, because she was afraid and because no one would believe it anyway.
Then the investigator tells her:
I believe you.
Because in this apartment lived before pianist. He was arrested because he wanted to poison the government. When they arrested him, he began to ask that they not hit him on his hands, because he needed his hands to play the piano. Then one NKVD officer said that he would make sure that the NKVD did not touch his hands, took a shovel from the janitor and cut off both hands. And from this the pianist died.
And this nkvdsheshnik was the girl’s dad.
Wrong girl
In the class of one girl named Katya appeared new teacher. He had evil eyes, but everyone praised him very much because he spoke in a kind voice and because if a student did not obey him for a long time, the teacher invited him to drink tea, and after tea the student became the most obedient child in the world and spoke only when asked. And all the students in the girl’s class became obedient, only the girl herself was still ordinary.
One day, the girl’s mother sent the girl to take some purchases home to the teacher that he asked her to make. The girl came, the teacher sat her down to drink tea in the kitchen and said:
Sit here quietly and don't go into the basement.
And he took the purchases and went with them to the attic.
The girl drank tea, but the teacher didn’t come. She began to wander around the rooms, looking at photographs and paintings on the walls. She was walking over the stairs to the basement, and the ring that her grandmother gave her fell off her finger. The girl decided to quickly take off the ring and sit in the kitchen as if nothing had happened.
She went down to the basement, looked around, and there were basins of blood all around. Some contain intestines, others contain liver, others contain brains, and others contain eyes. And he looks, the eyes are human! She got scared and started screaming!
Then a teacher entered the basement with a large knife. He looked and said:
You are bad, worthless, wrong Katya.
He grabbed Katya's braids and cut them off.
From this hair I will make the hair of a good, proper Katya. And now I need your skin. I’ll give the right Katya the glass eyes that your mother bought for me, but I need real skin.
And he raised the knife again.
Katya began to run around the basement, and the teacher stood by the stairs and laughed:
There is no other way out of this basement, run and run until you fall, then it will become easier to skin you.
Then the girl calmed down and decided to cheat. She went straight at him. She walks and shakes all over, and suddenly nothing happens. And he will kill her and put her in basins, and an obedient doll will go home instead.
And the teacher still laughs and shows the knife.
Then the girl suddenly tore the beads from her neck, which her grandmother had also given her, and how she threw them in the teacher’s face! Straight into the eyes and mouth! The teacher stepped back, his eyes were bloodshot and he couldn’t see anything. He tried to rush at the girl, but the beads had already fallen to the floor, rolled around, and he slipped on them and fell. And the girl jumped on his head with both feet, and he lost consciousness. And then she crawled out of the basement and ran to the police.
The teacher was later shot. In another city, where he previously worked, he replaced an entire school with walking dolls.
Hungry doll
One girl with her mom and dad moved into another apartment. And in the children's room, there was a doll nailed to the wall. Dad tried to pull the nails out, but couldn't. They left it like that.
So the girl went to bed, and suddenly the doll moves her head, opens her eyes, looks at the girl and says in a scary voice:
Let me eat some red stuff!
The girl was scared, and the doll said it in a deep voice again and again.
Then the girl went to the kitchen, cut her finger, took a spoonful of blood, came back and poured it into the doll’s mouth. And the doll calmed down.
The next night everything is the same again. And on to the next one. So the girl gave her blood by the spoonful to the doll for a week and began to lose weight and turn pale.
And on the seventh day the doll drank blood and said in its terrible voice:
Listen, crazy girl, don’t you have any jam at home?

They did everything as expected: they wiped the mirror with cologne, drew a heart and steps with a bar of soap, and said three times: “Queen of Spades, appear!” And she came to them. One girl managed to make a wish: she asked for chewing gum. The lady handed her the block, and as soon as the girl touched it with her hand, her hand turned black and became all crooked. The others got scared and quickly turned on the light. The Queen of Spades has disappeared. But the girl’s hand remained black and twisted, and whatever she touched with that hand, everything became charred. The girl was very afraid that she would touch her mother with her hand. One day it did happen. And what? The girl's hand became normal again.
In one black-black city
It was a long time ago. On one black-black planet there was a black, black city. In this black-black city there was a large black park. In the middle of this black-black park stood a large black oak tree. This large black oak tree had a black, black hollow. A scary big skeleton sat in it and said:
GIVE MY HEART!
White bow
One day, mother and daughter went to the store to buy bows. Mom bought the girl several red ones and a large white bow. She said, "Don't wear the white bow without me!" - and she went to work. The girl went out for a walk and showed everyone the red bows. “Do you have any more bows?” - asked the girlfriends. “Yes, there is,” said the girl. “I still have a white bow.” And she ran home to get the bow. The girl forgot what her mother told her and put on a white bow. But suddenly the bow untied, wrapped itself around the girl’s neck and strangled her!
Black Tulip
One girl’s mother went on a business trip for a long time. And it was under New Year. And she left her 10 rubles so that the girl could buy herself a carnival costume.
She comes to the store, and there the princess costume costs 20 rubles and the snowflake costume costs 15, and there is nothing else. And suddenly the saleswoman says:
Girl, do you want a Black Tulip costume?
How much does it cost?
Ten rubles.
And the suit looks great. Black silk dress and everything else a girl needs. The girl, of course, bought a suit and ran home. The next day, early in the morning, she is sitting in the kitchen. And suddenly the broken radio spoke of its own accord: “Girl, girl, jump out the window! Black Tulip has appeared in the city." The girl thought that someone was joking. And she lived on the ninth floor. And the radio says again: “Girl, girl, jump out the window! Black Tulip got off the trolleybus and is approaching the house.” She didn't pay attention again. “Girl, girl, jump out the window! Black Tulip is approaching your apartment,” the radio says again. The girl got up, went to the doors to see who was joking, and the doors opened by themselves, and the Black Tulip appeared on the threshold. And right at her. She was scared, and the radio would scream: “Girl, girl, you shouldn’t have listened to me, now jump out the window, maybe you’ll be saved!” The girl jumped out the window. He falls, and not like a stone, but as if on a parachute, in a word, it is clear that he will not kill himself if he falls. And Black Tulip leaned over the window sill, stretched out his arms, and they began to grow.
They grow, they grow, they want to grab the girl. And already at the very ground they grabbed me and pulled me back. And the Black Tulip says to her: “You wanted to run away from me, I’ll kill you for that!” She cried: “Don’t kill me, Black Tulip!” “Okay,” he says, “brew me something to eat.” She cooked him something to eat, and he ate everything he had and left her nothing. And he said: “I will leave, and you will clean and cook here. You will be my maid, and if I don’t like something, I will eat you.” And went into the closet. And so for several days in a row, he ate everything, and she was hungry. And then one afternoon, when the Black Tulip was not there, the radio spoke again: “Girl, girl, take the Black Tulip costume out of the closet and burn it.” The girl opened the closet. Only the suit hung there, but the Black Tulip himself was not there. She threw it on the floor and set it on fire. It all immediately burst into black flame, someone screamed terribly, and the girl lost consciousness. When she came to, there was nothing where the suit had been. And the Black Tulip never came again.

There lived a family: father, mother and daughter. One day a girl came home from school and saw that the entire apartment was in bloody trails. The parents were at work at that time. The girl got scared and ran away. In the evening, the parents returned, saw the tracks and decided to call the police. The policemen hid in the closet, and the girl sat down to study her homework. And suddenly Striped Legs appeared. They approached the girl and began to strangle her with invisible hands.
The policemen jumped out of the closet. My legs started running. The policemen rushed after them. The legs ran to the cemetery and jumped into one of the graves. The police are next. In the grave there was not a coffin, but underground room with many rooms and corridors. In one of the rooms there were children's eyes, hair and ears. The policemen ran on. At the end of the corridor, at dark room the old man was sitting. Seeing them, he jumped up, pressed the button and disappeared. The policemen also began to press the button, and one by one they found themselves in a vacant lot. In the distance they saw legs and ran after them. Caught.

Green Pistol-I
One aunt gave birth to a boy. Once she was sitting on a bench, and he was lying next to him in a stroller. And a gypsy woman passed by. And she said to her aunt: “Give me a ruble, I’ll tell you fortune.” The aunt gave her a ruble, the gypsy said: “Be afraid of the green pistol.” She said and left without explaining anything. A lot of time passed, and the aunt forgot about it, and her boy grew up and went to school.
And then one day he was walking home from school. He sees something lying in the bushes. He picks it up, and it’s a gun. Just like the real thing, only green. The boy was delighted, took it home and hid it.
At twelve o'clock at night the boy woke up and heard something hissing. He looked, and from under the bed a green pistol was crawling out and hissing like a snake. He threw a pillow at him, and the pistol fired and shot right through the pillow and climbed again. He threw a book at him, and the pistol shot through the book. The boy got scared, ran out of the room and closed the door, sat and waited for the pistol to come through the door and shoot him. And the pistol knocks on the door, but cannot shoot through. Then the boy ran away from home. He sits on the street and cries. And that same gypsy woman walked past. “Boy,” he asks, “why are you crying?” “The green gun will shoot me,” the boy replies. “Don’t be afraid, here’s a red gun, go into the house and shoot the green gun.” The boy entered the house and shot the green pistol. And it fell into small pieces.”
Green pistol-II
One boy, about five or six years old, went into the yard for a walk and saw an unfamiliar grandmother in the yard. She was dressed all in black. In her hands was a basket covered with a black scarf, and a black kitten was rubbing herself near her feet.
Grandmother seemed suspicious to him. And to check whether she was a witch or not, he hid his hands in his pockets, as they do in such cases, and twisted the barrels. The grandmother looked around and, smacking her lips, asked what he needed. The boy was scared, but didn’t show it. Out of fear, he said the first thing that came into his head: “I forgot my gun here, so I’m looking for it.” “Ah,” said the grandmother. - And I accidentally found a pistol here. By any chance, you didn’t lose this?” And she took out of the basket a small, shiny, incredibly beautiful green pistol.
The boy wanted to have it so much that he lied again: “Yes, it’s mine!” “Here, take it,” said the grandmother. The boy took it. The grandmother suddenly became all green, and the cat became green, and they disappeared. The boy, numb with fear, ran home. He didn't tell anyone about what happened and didn't show the gun to anyone. Before going to bed, he admired it for a long time, then put it under his pillow and fell soundly asleep. At twelve o'clock at night the bed with the boy began to fly, flew and fell into place. And the bed where mom slept turned green and disappeared. In the morning, the father told his son that his mother had left and asked him not to wake him up. But the boy noticed that where his mother’s bed stood, there was a green spot. Taking out a pistol, he began to examine it and saw that there was something written on it. He ran to his sister. She read:
I'M AFRAID OF FIRE
I'M AFRAID OF THE LIGHT
I'M AFRAID OF WATER.
The next night the boy went to bed again with a gun. At twelve o'clock at night, his bed took off and flew to the place of his mother's bed. And the father’s bed turned green and disappeared along with the father. In the morning the boy was afraid that he was not in his room. The bed with the father disappeared. And green marks were visible on the floor. The tracks led to his bed, became smaller and smaller and went under the pillow. The boy lifted the pillow, but except for the gun, there was nothing there. And then he realized who did all this. He remembered the inscription on the pistol and did this: he put it on the table where the sun was reflected. The pistol suddenly began to shrink. The boy put it under the water tap - the gun turned white. The boy took it and put it on the stove. The pistol turned black and meowed angrily, jumped to the floor black cat. The boy was not at a loss, took the mop standing in the corner and hit the cat. The cat grunted, spun around, hooted and disappeared. And then the boy saw that his bed had flown into place. And the beds with mom and dad appeared in their places. They were fast asleep.
They say that this old woman still walks around towns and villages and offers children a green pistol.

And in this city there lived a young man. And he liked one girl. He began to propose marriage to her. She didn’t agree for a long time, and finally said: “I’ll come out if you go to the square at midnight to the diamond statue and put a ring on her finger,” and gives the ring to him. He thinks: “Why not go? It is always light and there are a lot of people there. But the statue is smooth, how can I climb it?”
Let's go. It comes: darkness, no people... And the statue glows somehow strangely. He came closer, and suddenly the statue’s hand fell towards him and opened its palm. The guy put the ring in his palm, she clenched into a fist, and the guy ran away without memory. The next morning the girl changed her anger to mercy and said: “There will be a wedding tonight.” And so the guests have gathered, the bride is sitting, but the groom is not there. They ask their father: “Where is he?” The father says: “In his room, sorting through something.” Let's go to the room. They knocked and knocked - no answer. They broke down the door - the groom is lying on the floor near the open window, and there is a ring in his forehead. The guests are coming for the bride - she has disappeared. The guests dispersed, and only the father remained at the son’s body. And the next morning he was found dead, with a ring in his forehead. They opened both corpses and found ink instead of blood.
Since then, people began to disappear in the city. They all died the same death. And then a scientist came to town. He came to the square, read the inscription on the statue and said: “This statue loves blood - that’s what it says.” People tried to break the statue, but nothing happened - it was a diamond. That's why people left this city.

Scary jokes
It is no coincidence that we have collected funny stories at the end of the book. As Marx said, “humanity, laughing, parts with its past.” IN in this case, children - with their childhood horrors. The stories given in the last section are not in every sense jokes. For the most part, these are full-fledged parodies of the most typical scary stories. Their very existence testifies to children overcoming fear, to their growth from childhood horrors. Succumbing to the temptation of classification, we have collected these stories in a separate section. Although psychologically it was better to tell them mixed with scary stories. We hope that, having lost in entertainment, the book has significantly gained in scientific content.

The most terrible of all existing stories about the Black Hand
One night a boy (let's say Vasya) disappeared in one house. His parents searched for him for a long, long time and did not find him. The police were powerless. Notices were posted all over the city:
But Vasya was not there. Vasya’s mother emptied all the pharmacies in the city. Vasin's dad, led by police sergeant Lopukhov, combed all suspicious places and gangster dens. They exceeded the plan for catching crooks for two five-year plans! But Vasya was never found.
One evening Vasya’s parents were sitting at home and drinking tea with validol. And then the Black Hand poked its head into the room through the window and threw a note. With trembling hands, Vasya’s dad unfolded the note and read:
Vasya's dad fell into a chair. Mom wanted to fall next to her, but decided that she would do it after she returned from the police.
At the police station, Sergeant Lopukhov carefully examined the “zopeska” under a microscope and sighed.
Well? - Vasya’s mother asked with alarm.
“Nothing,” answered the sergeant.
What, nothing at all?! - Vasya’s mother was horrified and was about to fall, but she caught herself in time: there were no chairs in the department.
Of course not. I have determined that this note was written with an "X" type pen on "Y" type paper and, according to the note, with a "Z" type hand.
Vasya’s mother looked at the sergeant with delight:
You are a genius! - she exclaimed.
I'm a detective! - he objected.
At this time, Vasya’s dad came to his senses. He poured himself some valerian from the teapot, and he felt better. Sitting on the sofa, dad thought. From time to time he muttered: “What should we do? Well, what should we do? Most of all, he was tormented by the question: “Where can I get five bottles of blood?” And then it dawned on him. He ran to the kitchen and took out a bottle of pure tomato juice from the refrigerator. “You can’t tell it from blood!” - he said with satisfaction and was suddenly horrified: the Black Hand was sticking out of the wall and shaking a finger at him. Vasin’s dad didn’t remember anything after that.
When Vasya’s mother returned home (she brought a sergeant with her), she saw dad under the table in the kitchen. There was a sheet of paper on the table.
Don `t move! - said the sergeant. He photographed everything with a camera built into his watch, and only after that he took the note. It was written there:
The sergeant saw it spilled on the floor tomato juice and sighed.
It’s a pity, it was an idea,” he said.
A week later, Vasya’s mom and dad were sitting on a bench in front of the house. Mom held bottles of blood in her trembling hands. True, these bottles together weighed no more than one hundred grams, since spending 5 liters of blood on an unknown object was considered wasteful. The bottles were no larger than a little finger, but even had caps.
A black Volga drove up to the house. Lopukhov from the ambush said admiringly: “Volga of the Oka type.” Vasya came out of the Volga, led by the Black Hand. Vasya’s mother handed over the bottles and hugged Vasya to her. The Black Hand stroked Vasya on the head, and then a shot rang out.
It's a pity! I was so harmless! - said the Black Hand and melted along with the Volga.
That's all. It remains to add that Sergeant Lopukhov was promoted to rank, and Vasya sleeps in a fireproof closet, where his mother locks him at night.

On this very black tree sit two very black people.
One black man says to another:
Eh, Vasily Ivanovich, you and I were burning rubber in vain!

Instead of an epilogue
...There is a Black Glove in the world that flies into the windows at night and strangles people. There is also the Queen of Spades, who wears a black felt boot on her right foot and a white glove on her left. This lady drags unwary people to the grave. And at dawn, little green men fly in and release a green liquid that makes people’s brains askew...
These are the stories I heard.
From Today, 12:21
He called on Sunday, May 29, 1994, introduced himself as Lesha and invited me to the video salon. “Lyosha?” Sveta did not immediately understand. “Ah, that’s right, that guy I met last week. But why is he asking what I look like and what I’ll be wearing? Forgot, or what? Skirt, windbreaker, what?” Then". We agreed on 20.00 near the new circus, and Sveta walked from the River Station to the university through the entire city in the drizzling rain, without telling anyone about the upcoming date.
Instead of the young man in a denim suit, whom she expected to see, a young man of about 30, who had already begun to go bald, in unironed trousers and a corduroy jacket, approached. There is an umbrella in his hand, and a keychain knife on his waist belt.
The background to the impromptu rendezvous turned out to be simple. About five years ago, on a bus, he met two girls, begged Svetka’s phone number from her friend, and then, stumbling upon him in notebook, five years later he called.
“A Scary Story” by Evgeny Charushin
The boys Shura and Petya were left alone. They lived in a dacha - right next to the forest, in a small house. That evening dad and mom went to visit.
When it got dark, Shura and Petya washed themselves, undressed themselves and went to bed in their own beds. They lie and are silent. There is no father or mother.
It's dark in the room. And in the darkness someone is crawling along the wall - rustling...
Shura says from his bed:
“I’m not scared at all.”
“I’m not scared at all either,” Petya answers from the other bed.
“We are not afraid of thieves,” says Shura.
“We’re not afraid of cannibals either,” Petya answers.
“We’re not afraid of tigers either,” says Shura.
“They won’t come here,” Petya answers.
And just Shura wanted to say that he is not afraid of crocodiles, when suddenly they hear... outside the door, in the entryway, someone quietly stamping their feet on the floor: stamp... stamp... slap... slap... stamp... stamp...
How Petya will throw himself on Shura’s bed!
They covered their heads with a blanket and clung to each other. They lie quietly so that no one can hear them.
“Don’t breathe,” Shura says to Petya.
- I'm not breathing.
Stomp... stomp... splat... splat... stomp... stomp... splat... splat... And through the blanket you can still hear someone walking and stomping outside the door.
But then mom and dad came. They opened the doors, entered the house, and turned on the light. Petya and Shura told them everything.
Then mom and dad lit another lamp and began to look around all the rooms, in all corners. There is no one. And suddenly someone runs along the wall into the corner... He ran and curled up in the corner like a ball. They look - yes, it’s a hedgehog! He must have climbed into the house from the forest.
They wanted to pick it up, but it twitched and stabbed with thorns. Then they rolled him up in a hat and took him to the closet. They gave me milk in a saucer and a piece of meat. And then everyone fell asleep.
This hedgehog lived with the guys at the dacha all summer.
He still puffed and stamped his feet at night, but no one was afraid of him anymore.
