I am writing a haunted house story for a contest off on another site.
They wrote the sort of prologue I guess and I'm suppose to continue the story.
I am halfway done but the thing is, I am terrible at knowing what haunted houses are suppose to be like.
it's not one of those haunted houses with fake stuff to spook you.
the story is more along the lines of if a real house was haunted.
I am terrible at spooky or even horrifying things. So I am making this thread for you guys to suggest some spooky stuff
to give me an idea what I can write. I am drawing blanks[or cliches].

Have you ever seen corpse party? Maybe you can add elements of that into your story ( except for the fan service.) also with any good writing start writing in the middle of your tale. Try starting with something happening in the middle of your story and go from there. Be descriptive! Be bleak! But try to avoid using “ly” words.

@GuttedBunny: I have not.
I normally am not into paranormal or spoopy stuff that is scary.
More for cute spoopy stuff.
But since this is a writing contest, I kinda want it to be...goosebump worthy.

@GuttedBunny: I can send the google docs link.
though i'll grant you access.
I am just embarrassed because i am not sure if it's too...cliche.
I don't watch horror stuff much so I had to really think.

But i like this version I wrote better than the other.

A big element can be in the setting you put it in. A good, classic haunted house idea could be set in a large mansion owned by a rich, deceased family.

Family portraits everywhere, haunted by the previous owners. Awful things happen, the weather is never pleasant, etc etc.

Think like... haunted mansion from disney. That is spooky.

@Apollo Im Burning: *hold my bubbling cauldron of blood* i got this
@FuuChan: Why not create a villian or an entity. like this..

Imagine a being with sallow skin and eyes the color of the space between stars
Hair metted and frayed with untold amounts of gore and bile
Teeth like sharpend fish ribs jutting out in all directions'
It's voice like that over heavy boulders grating on steel, speaking a language never meant for mortal ears
Stick thin and as tall as a Yew tree, Skin stretched tight over sinewy muscles and tendons....

any of this helping X'D Dark Fantasy/Horror Poetry/fiction is kinda my forte *kicks trumpet behind him nonchalantly* lol

@fuuchan: ahh okay! did they have a lot about it? it would be a good idea
to kind of build off of it more too, in your own sort of way since you're continuing it.

You could also try and do some research on different types of spooks.
Take some inspiration from other stories or resources, because it never hurts
to have a little references.
