In the countdown to our 2023 Scary Story Contest, we’re republishing the winners of the last couple of years.
Clear your schedule, horror lovers, because the first round of Jezebel’s 2020 scary story contest winners are here! You may need to take a personal day after reading these tales of Ouija boards, paranormal activities, spooky cars, and haunted visitors and their knives. I’m never going to sleep again and now you won’t, either.
This year’s entries were interesting—though it is the Halloween season, many of you chose to enter heartwarming tales of how a friendly ghost brought your family back together, and while I personally love Casper, we’re in the business of terror here at Jezebel.
That said, prepare yourselves for the fear that awaits you below—and remember, round two arrives Tuesday.
Happy haunting!
