7 Scary Horror Stories That Will Keep You Up All Night (2 of 4)

2. The Cabin in the Woods

This classic horror story features a group of friends who decide to spend a weekend in a remote cabin in the woods. As the night falls, they begin to hear weird noises and feel the presence of someone or something lurking in the shadows. Subsequently, the unfortunate souls begin to disappear one by one.

This novel brilliantly blends suspense and horror, leaving the reader to question who or what is to blame for the horrible happenings. This haunting story will surely make you dread your next wilderness adventure. Or at least convince you not to do something silly like split up to tackle the mystery individually when it would make more sense to stay together as a group.

3. The Disappearance of Ashley, Kansas

In 1952, the small town of Ashley, Kansas, vanished without a trace. As the investigation continues today, strange incidents and unsettling evidence hint that something otherworldly may be responsible for the mysterious disappearance of the town.

This creepy story is so good that for a second there, you’ll think you’re reading a short story by Stephen King, although admittedly one where he clearly just phoned it in.
