As you begin to adorn your house with cobwebs and carved pumpkins for autumn, it’s time to reflect on the urban legends and the paranormal. With Halloween looming on our calendars, every day brings us closer to the most cardinal night of spirits and phantoms; but the same scary story with the most predictable jumpscare won't even scare a kid anymore. For SixContest #147, we'd like you to write a spooky tale in just six words!

Whether inspired by real-life occurrences, a spine-chilling nightmare, or just your imagination, tell us an eerie story everyone will keep thinking about at night. It could be about when the Ouija board planchette seemed to move on its own, when the horror movie stopped at its most suspenseful scene, or when a walk down the moonlit graveyard was nothing close to a treat! Let the Edgar Allan Poe inside you shine like a full moon on a chilly night with this contest and amp up the blood-curdling factor of this season.

If you'd like to share a backstory (we love reading them!), be sure to submit your entry as a Six and include the link to the Backstory in the comments below. Share as many stories as you like, but do post only one entry per comment.
