She kept her eyes on the woods and then something stepped out of the shadows… something ghastly. They looked like the eyes of some strange animal, but she couldn’t make out what kind of animal it was. She saw two small lights moving through the woods near the graveyard at the bottom of the hill.

Many years ago, there was an old one-story house that stood at the top of a hill. ![]() ![]() A version of this story appeared in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz. ![]() It is based on a tale called “Croglin Grange” from The Story of My Life by Augustus Hare. ![]()
