2. Scary stories are greatly welcomed to horror and
thriller story-lovers and possibly it is one of the best
medium for the readers who demand fear, mystery,
suspense and surprises in a compact story. This type of
stories usually contain elements like ghost,
paranormal events or activities, nightmares or dark
dreams, death, witchcraft, demon and supernatural
forces and some time a scary story may simply contain
dreadful activities of a psychopath.
3. These stories are based on both facts and fiction. True
events or imagination both can be used as a good
source of forming a quality story. This kind of stories is
distorted and disturbing by nature. For this reason,
people with weak heart-condition or timid in nature
are recommended not to go for reading it.

5. The things that make scary stories truly scary are the
stuffs that may cause suffering, anguish, pain, death or
remind the readers of those subjects because people
only get scared to those things on which they do not
have any power to control. The ultimate destination is
to generate the fear among readers and according to
psychological theories most of the common people
share similar objects of fear, like extreme mental
torment or painful death by unnatural cause.
6. It can be observed that whatever the concept, plotline
or the story is, the theme or outcome more or less
remains the same in those stories, but what makes a
story unique or gives it a new dimension is the way
how writer brings the suspense in the story and how
the surprising elements are being put.

8. Suspense can be generated out of the other elements
of the scary stories that would form the plot and
develop the story line. The one vital element is
darkness. It is the darkness that has generated the
sense of evil being and fear from the primitive time. In
broad day light everything might seem okay, but when
the darkness arises no one knows what is lurking
behind the shadows. Another element is the senses of
human being.
9. Things that are happening around you can be
perceived by your senses and when something
unnatural happen, your senses would make you aware
of that. It is all about playing with reader’s nerves and
sense. The more reader would feel mentally
pressurized, the more scary the story would be. Using
the sense of human being, mentioning an existence
that only can be perceived by the sixth sense could
bring out another level of suspension.

11. Supernatural forces are one of the mostly used
elements of scary stories. Satan, demon, legion or
dark magic- these things automatically generate fear in
readers’ mind. The forces that are not in the control of
human being always catch on people’s nervous system.
The ultimate element is death. More preferably you
can say death by an unnatural cause. Meeting the final
destination, the ultimate fall of human makes a story
scarier than ever if presented in a right way.

13. These are not the genre of stories that are read by all
kind of people but still the horror story lovers are great
in number. People like to get scared, and they like to
remember pain, suffering and the ultimate death they
are going to face.
