Scary Tales Get Scared Away
In my girl scout troop several years ago, my twin sister and I actually got scary stories around the campfire banned. The both of us love scary stuff and always have, so naturally we were prepared to retell some of our favorite nightmare inducing tales.
We told some stories about dolls and haunted hotels, and ended it all with our favorite rendition of the popular babysitter and clown statue story. After the last one, the whole troop shrieked and no one was allowed to tell anything remotely scary for the rest of the night.
The next year my sister and I were excitedly discussing the stories we would tell this time when we were informed that there would be no scary story telling, and there never was again. Honestly, we weren’t even sorry. Story credit: Reddit / I-hate-sleep23
