The top five short horror stories to read this halloween

No 5: The sound of silence.
A deaf man had been undergoing surgery to restore his hearing. When he awoke after recovering, he was surrounded by family and friends in his hospital room. And he was overjoyed by the fact that he can hear them again. But when they stopped talking, he asked what he was hearing now. A friend said that he was hearing silence. But the man stated that what he was hearing was not silence. Then a loud noise suddenly erupted from another part of the hospital. The man then said that noise is silence. But then his wife said that the noise isn't silence... it's screaming.

No 4: The spare room.
A young woman moves into a house just on the outskirts of town. It was ok apart from the spare room that was in need of redecorating. So she started to redecorate it. And the first thing she does is scrapping of the old wallpaper. But as she does so, she notices names and dates scratched onto the wall underneath. She has no idea what they mean until she looks up one on the internet. She was horrified to discover that the names are that of missing people and that the dates are the days that they had vanished. She rings the police and they inspect the spare room. The woman was just outside when she hears one of the policemen say "Yep... it's defiantly human". She then asks what was human and was told that she is going to be taken to a safe place... For it was not wallpaper that she has scrapping off the walls.

No 3: The keyhole.
A man gets a room at a old hotel. He was given a key and as he was going up to his room, the receptionist asked that is he comes across a room with no number on the door, that he should leave it alone. That man doesn't know what the receptionist is on about but agrees and heads off to his room. But during the night, he keeps hearing strange noises. Thinking that it was the other visitors staying at the hotel, the man goes outside to complain. But as he leaves his room, he notices the room without a number on its door. And that the noises where coming from inside the room itself. So he kneels down and looks through the keyhole. All he sees is a woman with pale skin, long black hair, and was wearing a white nightdress. And that she was making those strange noises. She was standing with her back to the door so the man didn't see her face. But the man must have made a noise for the woman began to turn around. Quickly the man backed away from the door and went back to his room. Where he spent the rest of the night. In the morning the man goes to check out before leaving the hotel. But as he walks past the door without a number, he decides to look through the keyhole again. All he saw this time was red. Red everywhere. The man then goes to reception and tells the receptionist everything. The receptionist is angry that the man did what he was told not to and then tells him everything about that room. The room is haunted by the ghost of a woman who was murdered by her husband years ago. And also her husband had removed her eyes. Leaving only empty, red sockets.

No 2: The Portraits.
A traveller is lost in the wilderness. It is getting dark and he is needing to find shelter for the night. Soon he finds an old abandoned house and decides to spend the night in there. The traveller goes inside and soon finds a old dusty bed. But when he sets up a sleeping bag, he notices that the room is full of portraits. They are of hideous, horrifyingly people who made the traveller nervous. They seem to stare at him as he gets ready for bed and continue to stare at him as he gets into bed and falls asleep. But the traveller has a good nights sleep and wakes up early the next day. He gets up and then notices something. There were no portraits on the walls of the cabin... Only windows.

No 1: The voice.
A girl is in her room when she hears her mother calling for her. She then goes downstairs to see what her mother wants. But as she walks past a wardrobe, a hand reaches out and pulls her in. As she wonders what is going on, she notices that it was her mother who has pulled her inside. And her mother says "Do not make a sound. I've heard it too".
