5 Scary Things I Found Online - July 2017

1. Japanese Urban Legends

Reading this list is absolutely terrifying. Japanese people create amazing horror movies and that is reflected in their culture and how terrifying their urban legends are.

A demon girl who lives in the gaps of things, always staring at you, who you can't meet the eyes of? *shudders* I am now terrified to wander around my house, especially since I'm home alone right now.

And that girl with the split face? Oh my God! The picture is terrifying, too, along with the legend.

Also, that poem that if you read it out loud, you will die. I know you can find the poem online, but I'm scared to look it up, scared to even read it in my head, let alone out loud.

Japanese urban legends are much scarier than the American ones I've heard!

2. 6 Haunted Dolls That Have Been Scaring People For Years

I can't handle dolls, even non-haunted ones and my next book, which I hope to be releasing this month (I'm about 3/4 of the way finished writing it and it's longer than all my other books have been) might help explain why.

Dolls are just so creepy. My Mom told me that when I was a small child and she showed me a baby doll for the first time that I screamed because I thought she was carrying a dead baby. All dolls kind of look that way, don't they? They're so lifelike and yet so frozen, like they are dead.

I've heard before that the reason so many of them get possessed is because their faces closely resemble human faces and it's the closest a spirit can get to looking human again.

If any of you guys are brave enough to look at the picture of the doll in the article that it says you shouldn't even look at pictures of because it will hurt you, please let me know in the comments and let me know what happened. I'm too afraid because, like I said, I'm home alone, to do so myself.

Yes, I'm a horror writer who has seen scary things and I'm still terrified to do this stuff because while actual paranormal stuff is fascinating, it's also absolutely terrifying if it's effecting you directly.

3. The Black Doll

Such a creepy urban legend, especially since it sounds so realistic that I could easily believe it was a true story. Sad and scary!

4. The Elevator Game

They do the game wrong, you're supposed to do it by yourself. It sounds like the creepiest game ever. I already find elevators to be kind of eerie to go into by myself, but that's more because I'm always afraid they will break down. If I were to do this game by myself, I'd be so frightened.

Have any of you guys tried this game? Or any of you brave enough to try it?

5. "The Scariest Paranormal Storytimes Ever..."

I posted a video by this girl last time. I really enjoy her true scary stories videos. They are entertaining. Here, she finds a few creepy paranormal true scary stories online that sound very believable.
