SCARY-STORIES - Frighten the wits out of your friends at Hallowe'en and other Spooky Nights!
People enjoy listening to scary-stories and the ones below are among the tales that I tell.
“The time has come – the hour’s near, when all the things that mortals fear…….!”
The above quotation is from the beginning of a spooky poem that I sometimes recite on Hallowe’en ghost walks and other similar occasions. I will give you the full poem and subsequent follow-up (!) at the appropriate time!
Everyone loves a scary tale. Hallowe’en and Christmas are ideal times for telling ghost stories and tales of witches and vampires. We have one or two for you on this page and invite YOU to send in one of your favourites.
Here are some additional Spooky web-site links that I think you will enjoy:
Halloween Ghost Stories
Shadowlands
Angelfire/The Haunt
The first item in this selection of scary-stories, is a poem that I wrote to introduce a character in a spook show that I presented in Scottish schools during the eighties and nineties. It was a two-handed presentation, featuring a witch and ‘The Witchmaster’. I later expanded the production and introduced two more witches and a ‘Dracula' like vampire villain.
We toured this show, again in Scotland, and played theatres, community centres and village halls with great success. So here is:
The Witchmaster's Song
The Phantom Lawman
The Hand of Glory
A Strange Dream
Paddy
The Late Storyteller
The Master of the Great Undead
The Gravestone
The Time Has Come, The Hour's Near..
The Devil's Wager
Appointment in Samarra
