The Forest

Alex recounts a frightening experience from when he was 12 years old while visiting his aunt, uncle, and cousins, Ryan and Brandon, in Connecticut. Despite warnings to stay out of the forest bordering his aunt's house, Alex joins his cousins to explore it. They hear a scream that sounds like a young girl, which they initially dismiss. The scream repeats twice more, growing more alarming each time, causing the boys to panic and run back to the house. Upon returning, they notice the shed door is open, tools are missing, and later that night, Alex hears tapping on his second-story window. The next day, they discover a radio playing the same scream on a loop near the bushes, along with large footprints. A man, later identified as Carl, his aunt's ex-boyfriend, emerges and tries to lure them. They escape and alert their parents, who call the police. Carl is apprehended and found to have planned to use the children to manipulate his aunt.

The Alarm

The narrator, an eight-year-old child named, recalls a terrifying night with his sisters, Lena and Kayla, when their home alarm system repeatedly went off. With their mother working a night shift at the hospital, the children were left to manage the situation. The alarm sounded twice, and each time, they reset it, but they found no signs of forced entry. They heard a crack outside, similar to a gunshot or firework, which heightened their fear. They armed themselves and locked themselves in their mother's bedroom, waiting until morning. After sunrise, they cautiously inspected the house and found that the garage door felt different, with a strange smell lingering. The alarm sensor log indicated two attempts to open the garage side door. The incident left the family shaken, leading to lasting anxiety and security measures. They eventually moved, seeking a fresh start.

Kyle

The narrator recounts a tumultuous relationship with a high school boyfriend named Kyle, whom she dated while attending a special needs school in New York City. Initially charming, Kyle's behavior became increasingly erratic due to his drug use. One night, after becoming jealous over text messages from a male friend, Kyle threw the narrator's phone against the wall and then stabbed her in the arm with a piece of the broken screen. The narrator kept the assault a secret until years later when her mother was critically injured by a drunk driver. The driver was Kyle, who had stolen a car and caused a major accident. The narrator then testified against Kyle in court, revealing his past violence. Another woman came forward with similar experiences. Kyle was convicted of domestic violence and drunk driving, receiving a short prison sentence.

The Car Wash

The narrator recounts a chilling experience at a 24-hour self-service car wash. While washing his truck late one evening, he notices a man repeatedly smashing his head against a vacuum machine. The man leaves with another person in an old red Chevy pickup. Later, the narrator notices the same truck following him. He takes evasive maneuvers to lose the truck and returns home. He finds the shed door open and, after closing it, hears footsteps in the nearby woods. He goes inside, and someone pounds on the back door. He hears an eerie laugh he recognized from the car wash. Later that night, he wakes up to find the back door open and someone inside his house. He locks himself in his room and calls 911. The police arrive and arrest the man from the car wash, who had a kitchen knife.

The Other Stacy

Damon shares a story told to him by his ex-girlfriend, Jenna, about a bizarre incident at her aunt and cousin Stacy's apartment. Jenna, who had a key and often visited unannounced, entered the apartment to find it seemingly empty. She found Stacy sitting motionless on her bed, facing away from the door. As Jenna approached, she heard her aunt and Stacy enter the apartment through the front door, talking and carrying groceries. Confused, Jenna turned back to the figure on the bed, only to see that it had turned its head to reveal a grotesque, emotionless face. Jenna screamed and ran to the kitchen, telling her aunt and cousin about the imposter. When they returned to the room, it was empty. The apartment had no other exits, leaving no explanation for the entity's disappearance.

Camping

The narrator recounts a disastrous camping trip with his family and friends. A sudden storm destroyed their new tent, forcing them to sleep in their old station wagon. During the night, a severe thunderstorm hit, and they all huddled in the car. Amid the storm, they heard a strange, low "whale" sound coming from the forest. Through flashes of lightning, the narrator saw a tall, thin figure standing motionless at the edge of the trees. The figure remained there throughout the storm. After the storm passed, the figure was gone, leaving no trace. Despite the terrifying experience, the family continued to camp for many years, but they never forgot that night.

The Convenience Store

The narrator recounts an unsettling overnight shift at a convenience store. A man in a beat-up truck enters the store, behaving strangely and making the narrator uneasy. He buys a soda and sits in his truck, staring at the store. He returns later, parks closer, and asks the narrator if anyone had inquired about him the previous day. The man leaves abruptly. Days later, the narrator sees the man's photo in the news, wanted for questioning in a missing person's case. The narrator realizes the man may have been trying to determine if anyone had seen him with the missing woman.
