This article is about scary stories from people at PHS. if you are familiar with any of the stories here and it’s not the version that you know, please remember that these are the version the people at PHS have heard, thank you!

 1. Bloody Mary (I stayed up late writing this story and I got scared lol)

A long time ago, there was a village next to a dark forest, and inside that dark forest there lived a evil witch that was obsessed with her own beauty. She could look at her self for hours in the mirror; however, as time went by the people in the town had started to notice something weird about her. She wouldn’t age despite her age, of course this made people suspicious and started thinking she was a witch. Now, it also didn’t help that around the same time people were suspecting her of being a witch, little girls from the ages of 8-12 were despairing. but all changed when one night, the daughter of the one who ran the village suddenly woke up and stated to sleep walk and went out side her house and started to head towards the woods and in the woods she went to the witches house, where she unfortunately meet her doom by the witch who ate her soul to you but the witch made one mistake,  she didn’t see that there was a guy from the town who was too keep watch to make sure no more little girls would get lost saw the hold thing. so he ran to the guy who ran the town and informed him about his daughter, soon the whole town was on their way to the witches house and ready to make her pay for what she has done to the little girls. once they got there  they forced out of her house tied her up to a wooden pole surrounded by flammable wood and inside her house they found the corpse of all of the missing little girls. Angry the people of the town went towards where she was tied up and as they accused her for her crimes she just laughed. then they decided that she was to dangerous to be kept alive so they decided to light her up. as she burned she screamed, “YOU FOOLS! I CURSE ALL OF YOU! FOR EVERYTIME SOMEONE STANDS BEFORE A MIRROR AND REPEAT MY NAME THREE TIMES I WILL DEVAOUR THEIR SOUL!” true to her word people till this day go to mirror and say out loud, bloody Mary, three times and surly enough they’ve experienced something.

2. La Llorona (these little comments are my coping mechanism)

Once in a town in Mexico where there weren’t that many women, let alone beautiful ones, a wealthy went to that town looking for a wife. Lucky for him there was one beauty in the town, and he decided to get marry to her. The beautiful women of course agreed and they did live happy for a while, they even had two kids whom they both loved very much . That all changed when she caught him cheating on her with another women, blinded by jealousy and rage, she decided to hurt him back the way he hurt her. She decided to take the two things he loved the most in the world, his sons. So she put on her wedding dress and took her children to the river, and drowned them. after drowning them she realized what she had done and regret started to fill her body. she then started crying yelling “ay mis hijos!”while lamenting in her sadness she had failed to realize to realize her dress got caught in a rock, and just as this happened the current in the river picked up. she slipped and fell in the river. she had drowned as well. now legend has it that sometimes in the night, when the wind is quiet, you can still hear her calling out for her kids, and if she sees you she will mistake you for her children and take you, but sooner or later she’ll realize your not them and will meet the same faith as her kids did that unfaithful day.

There once was a married couple, the husbanded loved his wife nails and hair, her nails were always manicured, her hair was always neatly done. one unfaithful the husband took her into the woods and he murderer her there.
