Short Campfire Ghost Stories

Read Visitor Stories Download Short Campfire Ghost StoriesWrite a Story


Having a slumber party, going camping or planning a get-together? You need some short campfire ghost stories to make your party really creepy!



When I was young, I loved to hear ghost stories, especially late at night. Sis and I would snuggle up in bed while one of us would tell a ghost story. Sometimes they were made up and other times, sis would read out of her campfire ghost stories books. I would get sooo scared I wouldn't sleep all night. Nevertheless, even though sleep deprived, I loved it and to this day, I continue to love ghost stories. I am betting you're the same way, or you wouldn't be here. We've recently located some really cool ebooks for you and yours and have provided them for you below. This way, if you're going away, you have some stories to go! Now, it's time for ghost stories.


Grab some popcorn and turn down the lights. Our ghastly friends love to tell these scary tales to keep you and your friends terrified for hours. Are you sitting against a wall? You don't want anyone sneaking up behind you.


Here are your choices:


1. You click one of these links and read -
    The Barn,
    Haunting in the Woods, or
    The Dark Descent online.



2. You can also read stories written by our visitors or write your own.


3. Or you can get short campfire ghost stories by choosing from the downloadable books below; one of these choices will surely scare you out of your wits. But if that's not enough, check out our book store for campfire tales delivered to your door.


Here's something new! Click this link if you prefer to listen to audio ghost stories.


Whatever you do, don't turn out the lights or read these alone. You may not be able to sleep for a very long time.
