Something Scary

The 4th of July 4th is Independence Day in America. And while we can all celebrate the freedoms and blessings we have in this country, it doesn't come without great risk. In all different areas across our land there dwell spirits and ghosts that tell the history of terrifying things that happened there. So be sure to be thankful for what you have, because you never know when the paranormal will st...

Some of us live the entire year just waiting to get to summer camp. It’s a world of boundless wonder and fun. You play games with friends you don’t always get to see. However, within this seemingly idyllic setting lurks the darker side of the woods. Summer camps hold your darkest secrets and the truths about who you were at that age. And with all those fun and games there’s bound to be some mistak...

We wake up in the morning with a long to-do list of things we have to get done just to survive. Everything from school work, to jobs to paying bills. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. And sometimes we have to make unimaginable decisions that have unimaginable consequences. You must be careful, because the wrong choice can lead you down a path of death and destruction. And when we...

Over the course of a lifetime there are many things we celebrate and many secrets we keep. Everything from small embarrassing stories, to the worst things imaginable. We all have skeletons in our closet, some are just bigger than others. But no matter how good someone is at keeping their mouth shut… the only guarantee is taking a secret to your grave, that is if the paranormal doesn’t show up.   F...

Love is in the air as “wedding season” is officially upon us. But while love-struck couples are celebrating their nuptials with friends and family, there are those who are not living in such bliss. Some of us are tortured by exes, unrequited love, or relationships that ended when one now lives beyond the grave. And then there are those of us who are just tortured by the rituals of a wedding, figur...

Summertime is finally here! For many of us school is out, and we can indulge in summer barbeques, outdoor games, beaches and pools! But we're not the only ones outside enjoying the warm summer air. The season also calls forth all of the creepy crawly bugs and beasts who have been in hibernation. And not the cute furry ones, but the ones who need to feed. So beware this summer of creatures big, sma...

For those of us who have siblings, it often means that we have someone to lean on, and a built-in best friend to go on adventures with us. But that's assuming we like one another. Sometimes, our siblings seem to have gotten all the bad traits in the family. They can be ill intentioned or even (pause).. evil. And those terrible brothers or sisters will haunt you from birth till death…. if you last...

Many people embrace the power of positive thinking and manifesting what they want from the universe. But when we're in a bad place and have negative thoughts, or aren't thinking about the consequences of our actions, we can often be putting out bad vibes or manifesting terrible things. You must be careful to check your energy, or you may end up summoning something so awful it will destroy you, or...

May is mental health awareness month. and we are grateful the world is more and more embracing how important taking care of our mental health is. Everyone has those days where they feel off, not themselves, or depressed. Sometimes people might even hear voices, and for those things it can be important to seek help. It can be hard to distinguish if those feelings are our own, or if something else h...

We all equate sounds to different places and emotions. Most of us, if hearing the crashing of waves, can easily be transported to a calm ocean. But when you hear the sound of eerie winds, or a blood curdling scream, we can easily be stricken with fear. Those sounds tell us, death is coming.  First, IT waits in the dark Followed by captured on camera Then, killer music Finally in our featured story...

So often we zip around town from home to school to extracurriculars. Some people are jet setting from coast to coast or traveling the world. We're always so focused on getting to where we're going, we forget about HOW we get there. But many terrifying events, accidents and deaths occur during regular travel in trains, planes and automobiles. That leaves a lot of places for unsettled ghosts and dea...

We are filled with all kinds of dreams. Dreams of our future, day dreams, night dreams and lucid dreams. But the dark side of us also has to manifest somewhere. During the night, our deepest and more disturbing thoughts haunt us in our nightmares. We better just pray that we wake up, or could find ourselves trapped with our terrible thoughts forever.  First, it haunts the house Followed by a deadl...

Many of us look forward to spring break as our first vacation of the new year, when we can be free from school and work. But when we're visiting new places, or have our guard down to relax, THAT is the moment chaos strikes. So stay vigilant and be on the lookout for ghosts in strange places, or entities that will take advantage of your vacay-mode. Otherwise your dream spring break could turn into...

So many of us love to curl up in the safety of our own home while we read a scary book or watch a horror movie. But we only enjoy that because those terrible things aren't happening to us. But with all of the new sightings of UFOs it makes you wonder, how much longer are we really safe? And if out of this world aliens don't harm us, people around us with ill intentions will.     First, the road to...

So often in life we aren't content with just having a roof over our heads and food on the table. We always seem to strive for more: better jobs, lots of money and true love. While sometimes the ambition for these things motivate us to work harder, sometimes these desires turn deadly. When we become obsessed with having more and taking more, we'll stop at nothing to get exactly what we want, no mat...

They say youth is wasted on the young. As a teen, you have all the energy and potential to be, do, and have whatever you can dream. But when dealing with school, college applications, social media followers and dating, being a teenager can be a nightmare. Particularly when you add in supernatural threats and anyone who might want to do you harm. Adulting will be easy, if you can make it through hi...

 It's St. Patrick's day this week. A day that commemorates the Saint and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It celebrates the Irish luck that people feel because of the occasion. And while many of us count our blessings, and have moments of feeling lucky, there are those who seem absolutely cursed. Some people just can't catch a break, and suffer through with a string of terrible luck. Is it...

Throughout history there have been tales and legends of powerful women. We've been praised for creating life, accused of inciting wars and everything in between. We are brave, strong and compassionate and when pushed to the edge, we're capable of anything and cannot be stopped. Even if we need to summon the spirits to take care of business. So be sure not to cross a warrior woman, or you may not s...

Whether you communicate via text, email or phone, there are endless possibilities to communicate with one another, but sometimes it’s the things that aren't said out loud, that are the most important. Sometimes it’s the subtext, or what we hear in the silence that can warn us when something bad is lurking, or when our life is in danger. And if you ignore those signs, then you might end up dead.   ...

No one’s family is really normal. We all have our own unique circumstances, baggage and secrets. But at the end of the day family, be it chosen or biological, is bound together. Sometimes that’s a good thing to have your family's protection. But sometimes, it’s your family that can lead you down a dangerous path that you may not survive. Either way, family is always there.  First, red eyes scream...

It's Valentine's day, so we want to send our love and appreciation to all of our fans for tuning in every week. While many people are wandering around today like love sick puppies, filled with joy, there are those of us that know the truth. That people lie and hearts get broken. There are evil spirits and evil doers who will prey on the emotions of the vulnerable to get what they want. At best you...

It’s Black history month and here at Something Scary we are thrilled to feature and uplift the voices of talented Black writers in our horror community. Make sure you listen each week in February to hear tales from these amazing writers.  Let’s go back to basics with stories of the thing that haunts us all, ghosts. Whether you’re someone who can see them or not, they are always there, lurking arou...

We all respect healthcare workers and those who work to heal the afflicted. But a job that intense must be difficult to leave it at work and not take things personally. Alll humans can be affected by burnout and lack of sleep. And for those in high stakes jobs, one little slip up can be deadly. It's not only patients that suffer, they may inadvertently end up destroying themselves as well.   First...

We all know the places that you cannot go, or that are off limits. Sometimes we’re deterred by parents or trusted adults. Sometimes we hear urban legends and horror stories that warn us of certain locations that are dangerous and harmful. But sometimes… It's the danger that draws us in. The opportunity to be the explorer, the adventurous one who will go where no one else dares. And sometimes, tres...

After the holidays, some of us are happy to have a break from family. We may even enjoy some time all alone in the middle of nowhere. And while some find comfort in the solitude... it can also be terrifying. The middle of nowhere is where the outcasts lurk, unsettled spirits roam, and beings stuck with our own thoughts may drive us insane.  First, a cautionary tale Followed by something sinister i...
