Upstairs
When I was a child I lived in a rented two-floor house. Both my parents worked so I was often alone when I came home from school.
One early evening when I came home the house was still dark.
I called out, “Mum?” and heard a voice say “Yeeeeees?” from upstairs.
I called my mum again, and again got the same “Yeeeeees?” reply.
I felt she was calling back at me and climbed up the stairs.
When I reached the first floor I called her once more and the voice “Yeeeeees?” came from the furthest room.
I felt both uneasy, but a strong urge to see my mother, and started to walk towards the room.
But just that moment I heard the front door downstairs open and my mother come in, carrying a lot of shopping bags.
“Sweetie, are you home?” my mother called in a cheery voice.
Hearing her voice made me feel instantly better and I turned back to go downstairs at once…but not before I had a quick glance towards the room.
While I watched from the top of the stairs, the door to the room slowly opened a crack.
For a brief moment, I saw something strange in there.
A pale face, staring at me.

Hmmmm…. It’s be good if there was a bit more description for this ‘pale face’ 4/5 bunnies :D
I Dont See At Least Scary About This Story
When the thing said “yeeeees” all I could think of was that guy from the simpsons who says “mm..yeeeeeeeeeeess”. Started laughing while reading this
Uh… if I went home, called my mother, got a reply (which would seriously creep me out since she’s definitely not supposed to be there, but that’s another story), then suddenly hear my mother’s voice from a totally different place… I would not feel better a single bit, that’s exactly when I’d start to worry.
The story is a bit flat, especially because the plot is pretty obvious from the start.
Boring as fuck….. I’d rather hear my victims screaming then this shit
Candyman. Why not learn to spell? Huh? By the way this story was kind of funny. But you wouldn’t know anything about that would you?
Whoah i have 4 gusses to know who that is.
.Slenderman
.Jeff the Killer
.SCP-101
.Bloody Mary
Say one of these messages for what you think
Nope, it was Dr. Who, he always ends up in odd places.
Write a sequel
Jeff the killer, maybe?
put some …….,….,………. slender man
in it
u need to saucy it up man
:(
put some slender man in it
that would saucy it up, make it more scary see u later -DF
it was probably voldemort….
you should make a sequel and tell us who the faceis
I understand that this may not be the best story but it is good for this website. It’s okay to criticize a bit but to all those people who say it fails so hard, why don’t you shut the fuck up and write a better story. And think, if this actually happened to you, you would be shitting bricks. Place yourselves in theses situations in all these stories and this is scarier than alot. Get off this persons nuts you overly critical fucks.
I’m pretty sure I’ve read another version of this story that I preferred to this one, I just don’t quite remember where.
The ending is creepy
BUT WHO IS THE PALE FACE?
THAERT FACE NEEDS TANNING LOTION!! GET THE LOTHIRION!!
it. puts. the. lotion. on.
SLENDERMAN!
The ending would have been better if it said ”I looked back, and saw my mother’s face.”
It could be scary but it kind of leaves you waiting for more….so it was alright
am i the only one who said “Yeeeeeees?” in that chef guy from the
Simpson’s voice?
PALE FACE WAS FONE!
PALE FACE WAS FONE.
PALE FACE WAS FONE

……………………………RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agree with AWV, this one was actually quite spooky. I appreciate how the author is able to give the story a creepy mood without the use of gore/shock elements and while keeping it short and impactful.
This is not scary, bricks were not shat, but shadows definitely drew closer.
Great work!
I actually thought this was great. It’s not complicated but it works.
I don’t see why something terrible has to happen, it’s just creepy to think some kind of ghost/monster was someone you know.
Holy shit it’s beast wars megatron
Would have been better if, say, the child went closer and was taken into the room. Moments later the mom comes home and calls for him, he replies “Yeeeeees?”
mom! voldemort wants to know if he can stay the night! please???
Absolutely boring. YOU LOSE SIR. YOU GET NOTHING.
