As the famous All Hallows Eve approaches it has got us in the mood for ghouls and ghosts. Here we present to you the most spine-chilling, blood curdling, gruesome tales ever spread through chain email. Beware – not for the faint hearted!!

10. The Sundarbans Ghost

It depends which email variant you read to where this picture was actually taken, but one such popular variant reads -

Subject: Fw: Read before u view the picture - Believe it not

The guy in the photo went to the Sundarbans with his friends and he asked 1 of his friends to take his picture in that very place. While his friend was taking the picture he screamed and fainted, 2 days later he died in the medical college. Doctors said he died because of heart attack.

When the photos were exposed, in the last photo there was a lady standing right beside him though friends claim that he was standing alone.

Many people said it is a rumor and the picture is the result of the blessings of latest technology. However, the photo itself is very scary and I'm sure you'll also feel the same way I've felt. Here you go with the photo!!!

A navy officer sent this letter to 13 people and he was promoted.. A business man received this letter and threw it away..not believing in it.. and he lost everything he had within 13 days.. It reached a labourer and he distributed it to 13 people.. he was promoted and all his problems were solved within 13 days.. So you must send this e mail to 13 people for something good to happen to you so people..get sending !! :) don't be lazy.. P/S : Do not send back to the person who send this to you!!!



This same “ghost” has actually appeared in many false photos and even a video, but still, pretty scary!

9. Bloody Mary

When I was about 9 years old, I went to a friend's for a birthday/slumber party. There were about 10 other girls there. About midnight, we decided to play Mary Worth. Some of us had never heard of this so one of the girls told the story.

Mary Worth lived a long time ago. She was a very beautiful young girl. One day she had a terrible accident that left her face so disfigured that nobody would look at her. She had not been allowed to see her own reflection after this accident for fear that she would lose her mind. Before this, she had spent long hours admiring her beauty in her bedroom mirror.

One night, after everyone had gone to bed, unable to fight the curiousity any longer, she crept into a room that had a mirror. As soon as she saw her face, she broke down into terrible screams and sobs. It was at this moment that she was so heartbroken and wanted her old reflection back, that she walked into the mirror to find it, vowing to disfigure anybody that came looking for her in the mirror. After hearing this story, which was told very scarily, we decided to turn out all of the lights and try it. We all huddled around the mirror and starting repeating "Mary Worth, Mary Worth, I believe in Mary Worth". About the seventh time we said it one of the girls that was in front of the mirror started screaming and trying to push her way back away from the mirror. She was screaming so loud that my friends mom came running into the room. She quickly turned on the lights and found this girl huddled in the corner screaming. She turned her around to see what the problem and saw these long fingernail scratches running down her right cheek. I will never forget her face as long as I live!!

The bloody Mary in the mirror is as old as it is infamous – around long before computers and the Internet were common. Stapled firmly into cult urban legend fame, the Bloody Mary premise has unsurprisingly spawned many variants, including Mary Worth, Mary Worthington, Bloody Bones and Hell Mary. Some say it will only work on a candlelit mirror, some say it will only work when you are alone. Some claim you see a face, some claim you see a bloodied figure behind you and some others claim you even see the face of Satan. It was also the premise of the movie Candyman!
Another similar email reads –

Here's how I always heard the story. You go into a room with a mirror and turn all the lights off (this works well in a bathroom). You begin, in a whisper, to chant "bloody mary. bloody mary, Bloody Mary", as you continue to chant your voice should grow louder and louder into a near scream. While you are chanting you should be spinning around at a medium rate and taking a glimpse in the mirror at each pass. Near the 13th repetition of the words . . . "she" should appear and...?

A frend of mine said that her roommate tried this and ran out screaming from the bathroom. She was shaking and appeared genuinely terrified and refused to talk about the incident, but those who were around her when she came out noticed that her clenched fingers were covered in blood.


The e-mails are not to be taken too seriously, but would you try it this Halloween…?

8. SatanStalker

There was this girl and she was with her friend. They were looking through peoples MySpaces. The girl slowly came upon this one myspace. It had creatures in the background and the man looked like a psycho. She started laughing with her friend commenting on how ugly he was. Right then, an instant message came up. IT SAID

SatanStalker: So how do u like my MySpace?
XxLoVemExX: What?
XxLoVemExX: Who is this anyway?
SatanStalker: Well, you should know; youre looking at my MySpace right now.
XxLoVemExX: How do you know?
SatanStalker: I know. I know when people look at my MySpace.
XxLoVemExX: What? That doesnt make any sense, how?
SatanStalker: I just do.
Satanstalker: Especially to pretty girls like you.
Satanstalker: With very nice legs I might say.
At the time the girl was wearing high shorts. She started to pull them down a little bit to cover what ever she could. Her and her friend started to get worried now.
XxLoVemExX: Ok whatever man youre starting to care the living crap out of me.
SatanStalker: You should be afraid.
SatanStalker: You wouldnt want an ugly guy like me touching your legs huh? I mean thats what you just said about me with your friend like a minute ago.
They were in shock.
Her friend: Holy crap man just block him hes a psycho!
The girl: Ok holy crap, you think hes watching us?
SatanStalker: I am.
SatanStalker: Well it wouldnt really matter if you blocked me anyway; it wouldnt stop me from coming to your house.
XxLoVemExX: What? My house?
SatanStalker: Yeah, youre alone so its not a problem.
XxLoVemExX: Ok I think Im going to leave now because youre freaking me out.
SatanStalker: Your screen name says love me, trust me that wont be a problem.
SatanStalker has just signed off.
The girl and her friend were really scared.
Girls friend: Whatever lets just go upstairs trust me I doubt hes really coming. Its just a joke from someone.
They went upstairs and were having a pillow fight. All of a sudden the girls friend said she had to go to the bathroom. The girl said ok. Ten minutes later the girl noticed that her friend was still in the bathroom and was wondering what was up. She goes and knocks but no one said anything she opens it and finds her friend there on the ground dead. She started to scream but when she turned around he was there. News the next morning said that there was one girl dead in the bathroom; her neck sliced with blood all over the ground. with her head nailed to the wall.
Just her head.

IGNORE THIS PART......

If you do not repost this in the next two minutes there will be three men, one in your bathroom, one in your room, and one killing your parents at that very moment. Tonight at 1:30am. Well what are you waiting for? Repost or you are going to die!

The email reads like it was written by a 9 year old and never really explains exactly who wrote the email since both girls were killed, but that has not stopped this one from getting sent the world over. The overall theme seems to be stay safe on the Internet, which is wise. Would you want SatanStalker turning up at your doorstep?

7. The Hook Man

A teenage boy drove his date to a dark and deserted Lovers' Lane for a make-out session. After turning on the radio for mood music, he leaned over and began kissing the girl.
A short while later, the music suddenly stopped and an announcer's voice came on, warning in an urgent tone that a convicted murderer had just escaped from the state insane asylum — which happened to be located not far from Lovers' Lane — and that anyone who noticed a strange man lurking about with a hook in place of his right hand should immediately report his whereabouts to the police.
The girl became frightened and asked to be taken home. The boy, feeling bold, locked all the doors instead and, assuring his date they would be safe, attempted to kiss her again. She became frantic and pushed him away, insisting that they leave. Relenting, the boy peevishly jerked the car into gear and spun its wheels as he pulled out of the parking space.
When they arrived at the girl's house she got out of the car, and, reaching to close the door, began to scream uncontrollably. The boy ran to her side to see what was wrong and there, dangling from the door handle, was a bloody hook.

Whilst there is no proof to show this infamous story (or close variation) ever took place, there is also no proof that it didn’t …..

6. Don’t Turn on the Light!!

Two dormmates in college were in the same science class. The teacher had just reminded them about the midterm the next day when one dormmate — let's call her Juli — got asked to this big bash by the hottest guy in school. The other dormmate, Meg, had pretty much no interest in going and, being a diligent student, she took notes on what the midterm was about. After the entire period of flirting with her date, Juli was totally unprepared for her test, while Meg was completely prepared for a major study date with her books.
At the end of the day, Juli spent hours getting ready for the party while Meg started studying. Juli tried to get Meg to go, but she was insistent that she would study and pass the test. The girls were rather close and Juli didn't like leaving Meg alone to be bored while she was out having a blast. Juli finally gave up, using the excuse that she would cram in homeroom the next day.
Juli went to the party and had the time of her life with her date. She headed back to the dorm around 2 a.m. and decided not to wake Meg. She went to bed nervous about the midterm and decided she would wake up early to ask Meg for help.
She woke up and went to wake Meg. Meg was lying on her stomach, apparently sound asleep. Juli rolled Meg over to reveal Meg's terrified face. Juli, concerned, turned on the desk lamp. Meg's study stuff was still open and had blood all over it. Meg had been slaughtered. Juli, in horror, fell to the floor and looked up to see, written on the wall in Meg's blood: "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights!"

Many, many variants of this story doing the rounds on the Internet, most quoting different Universities or colleges as the place of the crime – it sounds more like a script from the teen horror flick – but who knows – maybe this story was spawned from a real event? Or then again maybe not….





5. Ghost Under the Bed

Subject: FW: Read story first before Looking @ Picture !!

This photo was taken in a hospital after the patient was in an accident where he was responsible for a young woman's death. It is said that when you receive this image and do not send it to at least five people, the woman will look for you during the night to collect your soul. People in Laredo, Texas, received this image and did not send it and were killed outside a bar; it looked as if this woman killed them. Send it to five people or the woman will look for you.



This image has done the cyberspace rounds more than once, with different stories attached, and it must have scared many people as any email it was attached to seemed to do extremely well propagating itself around the Internet. Though you can relax kids, the image was actually taken from an Asian horror movie and it not real. Or maybe we’re lying….? Mwahaha.

4. Babysitter

A young girl was hired to babysit for a couple who lived in a large, isolated, old house. They were going out to see a movie that night and left the teenage babysitter in charge of their two young children.

The babysitter put the children to bed when it got late and then went downstairs to watch some television. She was just getting comfortable when she heard the phone ringing. She answered it, all she heard was heavy breathing followed by a man’s voice saying, “I’m upstairs with the children, you’d better come up.”

Freaked out, she hung up the phone, trying to convince herself that it was just some weird guy playing a practical joke on her. She went back to watching television but about 15 minutes later, the phone rang again. She picked up the receiver and heard hysterical laughter from the other end of the line. Then the same voice said “I’m upstairs with the children. Why don’t you join us?”
The babysitter slammed down the phone. The poor girl was frightened out of her wits and immediately called the police. The operator at the police station told the babysitter that if the man called again, she should try to keep him talking. That would give the police time to trace the call.
A few minutes later, the phone rang a third time and when the babysitter answered it, she heard the heavy breathing again. The voice on the line said “I’ve come for you. It’s only a matter of time.” The babysitter listened to him laughing hysterically for a long time. She hung up the phone again and almost immediately, it rang again.
This time it was the operator from the police station who yelled, “Get out of the house right now! He’s on the upstairs extension!”

The babysitter dropped the phone in shock and suddenly she heard heavy footsteps walking down the stairs. Without pausing for a second, ran out of the house as fast as her legs would carry her. As she slammed the door behind her, a man’s hand slammed against the glass. She screamed and ran out into the street just as a police car was pulling up outside.

The police searched the house and found the two children upstairs, hiding in a closet, crying uncontrollably. In the parents’ bedroom, they found a bloody axe lying on the floor next to the upstairs phone. The back window was wide open and the curtains were blowing in the breeze. There was no sign of the madman who had made the phonecalls. He had escaped into the night when the police arrived and managed to interrupt his horrible plan to kill the two children and the poor babysitter.

The babysitter genre of scary tales has come in many variants of which this one just one. The inspiration for endless teen horror flicks, the tale of the babysitter in the isolated house in one story that is not likely to go away anytime soon.

3. Backseat Nightmare

One night a woman went out for drinks with her girlfriends. She left the bar fairly late at night, got in her car and onto the deserted highway. She noticed a lone pair of headlights in her rear-view mirror, approaching at a pace just slightly quicker than hers. As the car pulled up behind her she glanced and saw the turn signal on — the car was going to pass — when suddenly it swerved back behind her, pulled up dangerously close to her tailgate and the brights flashed.
Now she was getting nervous. The lights dimmed for a moment and then the brights came back on and the car behind her surged forward. The frightened woman struggled to keep her eyes on the road and fought the urge to look at the car behind her. Finally, her exit approached but the car continued to follow, flashing the brights periodically. Through every stoplight and turn, it followed her until she pulled into her driveway. She figured her only hope was to make a mad dash into the house and call the police. As she flew from the car, so did the driver of the car behind her — and he screamed, "Lock the door and call the police! Call 911!"
When the police arrived the horrible truth was finally revealed to the woman. The man in the car had been trying to save her. As he pulled up behind her and his headlights illuminated her car, he saw the silhouette of a man with a butcher knife rising up from the back seat to stab her, so he flashed his brights and the figure crouched back down. The moral of the story: Always check the back seat!

It is a pretty popular theme, the old mysterious backseat passenger trying to kill you, and god knows it’s been included in numerous horror films. The twist of the car behind you actually trying to save you is a twist used in numerous variations of this type of email – one adapts the backseat passenger to an unknown person actually being unintentionally dragged behind the car driven by the victim. Also many variations don’t let the victim get home, rather swerve of the road and crash into a tree. We don’t know if the premise of the story is based on any true story, but if a car starts honking at you one night on an abandoned road, check the backseats.

2. Bloody Mary Re-visited

a girl named Jessica went online she started talkin to another girl. it started out normally.........
Jessica: Hey person.
Other girl: Hello
Jessica: You've been a really interesting person to talk to.
Other girl: Really? Thanks. You really mean it?
Jessica: Yea.
Other girl: What's ur name again?
Jessica: My name is Jessica. What's urs?
Other girl: I can't really tell u.
Jessica: Why?
Other girl: Because I'm dead.
Jessica: What?
Other girl: I'm dead.
Jessica: How can u be dead? I mean, dead people don't i.m. living people.
Other girl: Yes they can because I can.
Jessica: Ok then, so ur dead. Ok. So what's ur real name now that I know that u are dead?
Other girl: Mary, or at least it is now.
Jessica: So where do u live 'dead person' and what's ur last name and ur real name?
Mary: Do you really want to know?
Jessica: Yea, duh. I mean, ur probably lyin and I wanna know who u really r by lookin in the phonebook.
Mary: You really wanna know?
Jessica: (Feeling Frustrated) Yes. I DO! Now just tell me ur dumb name!
Mary: I"m not dumb.
Jessica: (Calming down a little) Fine then. Ur not. So tell me ur name.
Mary: I live in mirrors and travel by them, and my full name is BLoody Mary.
Jessica: (Laughing) You can't be bloody Mary. There's no such thing!
Mary: Are u sure about that? Do you wanna find out the hard way? I know everythin about u. I know where u live, what u like, who u like, ur favorite color, ur full name, and I know what u are scared of.
Jessica: Ok, ur really freakin me out now. Stop it!
Mary: I won't. If u don't copy this conversation down and send it to 15 people, I will come to you.
The Next Day...
Jessica woke up in the mornin after sendin a copy of her conversation to 15 people. She went into her bathroom and turned on the lights. She looked into her mirror and all of a sudden, the lights went out. She looked into the mirror and saw a person standing next to her with a long blood covered knife. She was holding it up over Jessica's head. Jessica looked around and felt around but felt nobody else in the room. She turned around and turned on the lights. She turned around and there was no person beside her or in the mirror anymore. Then she looked on the ground and saw something red. She bent down and felt it. It was wet and looked like blood.
Bloody Mary didn't hurt Jessica only because she sent the e-mail to 15 other people. Now you have to too or Bloody Mary might get you.
Send it to 14 or lower people, and you never know what might happen... After you send it instead of clicking OK hit alt. and then F4 you will see a mysterious picture of Bloody Mary

We just can’t get enough of Bloody Mary, and numero 2 is no exception. What we like about this email is it does actually explain how it got going, as opposed to the rest that just magically appeared on cyberspace. Alt+F4 won't give you a picture of Bloody Mary, it will close the active window, just like it always does. Whilst it is most likely still boo-hickey, would you risk the wrath of Bloody Mary?

1. No ears and No nose

my name is jane.....i am 7 years old with black hair and red eyes. i have no nose or ears.... i am dead. if you do not send this 15 people in the next 5 minutes i will appear tonight by your bed with a knife and kill you.. this is no joke Something good will happen to u 2nite at 9:22. This is not a joke some1 will either call u or will talk to u online and say that they love u. do not break no send bak sorry!

Short and sweet, this type of email has many, many variants but the common theme is no nose and no ears, causing the recipient to draw a mental picture of what this little girl most look like, and then imagining it appearing next to you alone at night….pretty creepy. Other variants just claim the little girl (or boy) will just stare at you blankly, which we think is even more creepy, like Cordelia, the SMS ghost. Rushing for the forward button yet?


Remember, stay safe and alive this Halloween ;o)
