The Halloween Costume That Took Over
Sophie had always loved dressing up, and this Halloween, she found the perfect vintage gown at a thrift store. When she tried it on, she felt an overwhelming sense of deja vu. That night, she dreamed of a woman from centuries past who had been burned at the stake for witchcraft—wearing the very same dress. When Sophie woke up, she was still in costume, and the room smelled of smoke. The dress, now charred at the edges, was impossible to remove.
The Whispering Mask
Bella found an intricately designed mask at a costume shop that seemed to call her name. She bought it without hesitation, but the moment she put it on, she began hearing whispers—soft at first, then louder, more insistent. They urged her to do things, dark things. Desperate, she tried to remove the mask, but it was stuck, clinging to her face. In the mirror, her eyes had changed—someone, or something else was staring back at her.

The Haunted Mirror
Sarah, a fashion-loving college student, bought a vintage mirror at a flea market to add some charm to her dorm room. Soon after, she noticed her reflection behaving strangely, lingering in the mirror after she turned away. One night, she swore she saw a second face—one not her own—grinning back at her. As Halloween approached, the figure in the mirror whispered her name and revealed a hidden message in red lipstick: “I want to be you.”

The Party Invitation
Lily received an invitation to a Halloween party from an anonymous sender, promising a night of thrills and scares. When she arrived, the mansion was empty, the air thick with dust. There was no music, no lights, and no guests—only her reflection in the grand mirror, wearing the most hauntingly beautiful gown she’d ever seen. As she turned to leave, the doors locked, and the shadows in the mirror began to dance.
The Phone Call at Midnight
Rachel was having a cozy Halloween night in, watching scary movies and carving pumpkins. At midnight, her phone rang—a number she didn’t recognize. She picked it up to hear heavy breathing and a voice saying, “I’m watching you.” She laughed it off as a prank until her TV switched to a live feed of her apartment. The figure outside her window was holding a phone.

The Cursed Jewelry
Lucy, an avid jewelry collector, found a gorgeous silver pendant at a small antique shop. The shop owner warned her it was cursed, but Lucy laughed it off. After wearing it to a Halloween party, strange things started happening. She began seeing shadows move on their own, and one night, she woke up with the pendant strangling her. Desperate, she returned to the shop, but it had vanished—just like the pendant, which reappeared on her dresser every morning.
The Lost Friend
Mia was looking forward to a night out with her best friend, Ella, who had been distant lately. When Mia arrived at the bar, she couldn’t find Ella. Confused, she texted her, but got no reply. Then, someone tapped her on the shoulder—it was Ella, pale and trembling. “I’ve been trying to reach you for days,” she said. “I was in an accident. I need your help.” Mia turned around to see a news report on the TV: Ella had died the previous night.
The Stalker in the Woods
Emily loved hiking in the forest behind her house. One crisp October evening, she noticed someone was following her. At first, she thought it was another hiker, but as the footsteps quickened, so did her heartbeat. She started running, but the shadowy figure kept pace. She reached her house and locked the door, but the next morning, muddy footprints led right up to her bedroom window. On her mirror, written in fog, were the words, “Next time, you won’t make it home.”
The Ghost in the Closet
After moving into a new apartment, Maria noticed strange noises coming from her closet every night. Thinking it was just the old building settling, she ignored it. But one night, as she lay in bed, the closet door slowly creaked open. She tried to close it, but the door wouldn’t budge. Then, a hand—cold, bony, and pale—reached out and gripped her wrist.
1. The Haunted Lipstick
Lily found the perfect shade of lipstick at a Halloween market. But when she put it on, strange things happened—whispers echoed around her and she saw shadows moving in her reflection. Each time she tried to take it off, it reappeared on her lips, darker than before. Now, the whispers are louder, and she can’t stop seeing her reflection… even when she’s not looking at a mirror.
2. The Costumed Stranger
At a Halloween party, Mia met a masked man in a Victorian suit. He danced with her, whispered compliments, but she never saw his face. When she left to get a drink, she asked her friends about him, but no one had seen him. When she returned to the dance floor, he was gone—leaving behind only a handwritten note that said, “We’ll dance again, my love.”
3. The Instagram Haunting
Sarah posted her Halloween selfie to Instagram, and the likes started flooding in. But soon after, people started messaging her, asking who the shadowy figure was in the background. Sarah was home alone, and no one else had been there when she took the picture. That night, she received a new follower with no profile picture and only one post—a grainy image of her standing at her window.
4. The Disappearing Roommate
Emma’s roommate, Chloe, had gone out for Halloween but never came home. She assumed Chloe stayed with a friend, but after a few days with no response, she got worried. Then she found an old photograph from a Halloween party years ago—there was Chloe, wearing the same costume… but it was dated long before they had even met. Chloe had never really been her roommate.
5. The Makeup That Possessed Her
Nina tried out a new Halloween makeup kit she bought online. It gave her an incredible undead look for her costume. But once the makeup was on, she couldn’t wash it off. No matter how hard she scrubbed, her skin remained pale and cold, and her eyes grew dark and sunken. Soon, she stopped feeling like herself. She wasn’t just wearing the makeup anymore—it had taken over her.
6. The Haunted Bracelet
A beautiful, antique bracelet caught Amanda’s eye at a boutique. It was the perfect accessory for her costume. But after wearing it, strange things started happening: her reflection moved on its own, and at night, she heard someone calling her name. When she tried to take the bracelet off, it tightened around her wrist, as though it didn’t want to let go.
7. The Forgotten Invitation
Claire found a beautifully designed Halloween party invitation in her mailbox, but she didn’t recognize the sender. Intrigued, she decided to go. When she arrived, she was greeted by a group of people in lavish costumes who seemed strangely familiar. It wasn’t until later that she realized she’d seen their faces before… in the obituaries section of the newspaper.
8. The Vanishing Date
Rachel matched with a guy on a dating app just before Halloween, and they hit it off. They met at a bar for drinks, and everything went smoothly—until she went to the restroom. When she returned, he was gone, and the bartender looked confused when she asked about him. “You came here alone,” the bartender said. She checked her phone, but his profile had vanished, like he had never existed.
9. The Cursed Mask
Sophie found a gorgeous, elaborate mask at a Halloween shop and couldn’t wait to wear it to the party. The moment she put it on, she felt different—bolder, more confident, but also… not quite herself. As the night went on, she felt the mask tightening around her face. When she tried to take it off, she realized there were no straps—it had become part of her skin.
10. The Spirit of the Night
Isla was excited for her first Halloween night living on her own. She decorated her apartment and set out candy for trick-or-treaters. But as midnight approached, her TV flickered and strange shadows filled the room. The air grew cold, and suddenly she heard knocking—not at the door, but from the walls. A voice whispered her name: “I’ve been waiting.”
