8 Eerie Tales for Takibi Time

Autumn nights lend themselves to storytelling. The cool night air, rustling leaves, and glowing coals from the campfire create the perfect backdrop for spooky tales that will send a different kind of shiver down your spine. We’ve gathered eight eerie tales and poems for your next Takibi Time.  

Creak 

Best for kids or those with a low threshold for fright, this simple poem offers ample opportunity for creative retelling. Punctuate the ending with a high-pitched shriek and you’re sure to spook your companions.

Hidden by the Rustling Corn 

A seasonal poem that warns against shortcuts through the cornfield. Are the rustling leaves merely blowing in the breeze or is something tracking you through the corn stalks?

The Pit Toilet Monster 

The title says it all – save this one for your next visit to a campground and tell it late in the evening just before any final visits to the bathroom.

Robert the Doll 

This list would be incomplete without a haunting doll and this story tracks a doll named Robert from its creation in the 1800s to the present day. It now resides in a museum in Florida, so who can say if the story is true or not!

Axe Murder Hollow 

A classic horror story about a couple who runs into car trouble...and something much more nefarious.
