Supernatural Short Stories

There are many creatures that walk the night, from Bigfoot to shape-shifters, but nothing seems to compare to what happen to me! I decided to hike the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee. I'd been hiking the trail for one day and didn't have a problem; I hiked about 25 miles. That was a hard push! I saw a couple and one old guy, and thought he wasn't going to make it. In any event, I set up camp on the second day, and that's when I started to hear walking in the woods at night! I was pretty far out and too tired to check. What happened next shocked me.

Jenny has been plagued by disturbing nightmares and visions every Halloween since she was a child. She’s grown up now, but they’re only getting worse. Can her Horology professor's theories on time manipulation provide answers? Is the mysterious mind connection Jenny senses between them tied in? Or is reality itself being irretrievably rearranged?

It’s bad enough that its venom-dripping chelicerae can slice through flesh like warm butter. Worse? It’s right there under the bunk. It’s a fact now.

And with the safety of dawn still hours away, the fun is just beginning.
