Scary stories (dont read if you are easily scared)

[ya like jazz]

First things first: Its like... 1 AM here, and I dont think I'm gonna sleep tonight anymore xD, and I am home...alone.
I have some true ghost/wierd stories I would like to tell, But first, let me turn on some music to distract my crazily scared mind.
1: In our old apartment, we had a cat, a lazy cat, named Dora (1, I was in first grade, and I didnt even name her.). Me and my mom left her alone for a while, I am pretty sure we went grocery shopping, and when we got back we saw Dora hiding under my moms bed, and blood all over the walls, not like drenched, but if I were to have a moderate nosebleed and blow my nose all over the wall (Which would be dripping blood out of my nose every few seconds, my worst, is like a faucet o.o) and they were pretty close to the ground, so she could have done it, but her paws were fine.
2: An old grade school friends house was haunted, one day we slept in her basement, and we heard children laughing, and we went upstairs to ask what it was, but everyone else heard it to, but couldent find the source. We looked outside, and there wasent any kids outside (at 1 AM)..
So I am terrified right now, and my mom left her ET doll out from when she was a kid, and i looked up and it scared me >U< And Im not that hard to scare, yet you cant tell me just 1 scary story, and I cant gaurentee I will be scared. But reading multiple ones, Just....go get me spongebob ok!! HE MAKES ME FEEL BETTER... ;A;

I find it hard to believe that lavender town killed anyone. It most likely gave them seizures.

I may have posted this before.

Does anyone remember this kid’s show? It was called Candle Cove and I must have been 6 or 7. I never found reference to it anywhere so I think it was on a local station around 1971 or 1972. I lived in Ironton at the time. I don’t remember which station, but I do remember it was on at a weird time, like 4:00 PM.

YES! Okay I’m not crazy! I remember Pirate Percy. I was always kind of scared of him. He looked like he was built from parts of other dolls, real low-budget. His head was an old porcelain baby doll, looked like an antique that didn’t belong on the body. I don’t remember what station this was! I don’t think it was WTSF though.

Sorry to ressurect this old thread but I know exactly what show you mean, Skyshale. I think Candle Cove ran for only a couple months in ‘71, not ‘72. I was 12 and I watched it a few times with my brother. It was channel 58, whatever station that was. My mom would let me switch to it after the news. Let me see what I remember.
It took place in Candle cove, and it was about a little girl who imagined herself to be friends with pirates. The pirate ship was called the Laughingstock, and Pirate Percy wasn’t a very good pirate because he got scared too easily. And there was calliope music constantly playing. Don’t remember the girl’s name. Janice or Jade or something. Think it was Janice.

Thank you Jaren!!! Memories flooded back when you mentioned the Laughingstock and channel 58. I remember the bow of the ship was a wooden smiling face, with the lower jaw submerged. It looked like it was swallowing the sea and it had that awful Ed Wynn voice and laugh. I especially remember how jarring it was when they switched from the wooden/plastic model, to the foam puppet version of the head that talked.

ha ha i remember now too. do you remember this part skyshale: “you have…to go…INSIDE.”
Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Ugh mike, I got a chill reading that. Yes I remember. That’s what the ship always told Percy when there was a spooky place he had to go in, like a cave or a dark room where the treasure was. And the camera would push in on Laughingstock’s face with each pause. YOU HAVE… TO GO… INSIDE. With his two eyes askew and that flopping foam jaw and the fishing line that opened and closed it. Ugh. It just looked so cheap and awful.
You guys remember the villain? He had a face that was just a handlebar mustache above really tall, narrow teeth.

i honestly, honestly thought the villain was pirate percy. i was about 5 when this show was on. nightmare fuel.

Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
That wasn’t the villain, the puppet with the mustache. That was the villain’s sidekick, Horace Horrible. He had a monocle too, but it was on top of the mustache. I used to think that meant he had only one eye.
But yeah, the villain was another marionette. The Skin-Taker. I can’t believe what they let us watch back then.

jesus h. christ, the skin taker. what kind of a kids show were we watching? i seriously could not look at the screen when the skin taker showed up. he just descended out of nowhere on his strings, just a dirty skeleton wearing that brown top hat and cape. and his glass eyes that were too big for his skull. christ almighty.

Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Wasn’t his top hat and cloak all sewn up crazily? Was that supposed to be children’s skin??
mike_painter65
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
yeah i think so. rememer his mouth didn’t open and close, his jaw just slid back and foth. i remember the little girl said “why does your mouth move like that” and the skin-taker didn’t look at the girl but at the camera and said “TO GRIND YOUR SKIN”

Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
I’m so relieved that other people remember this terrible show!
I used to have this awful memory, a bad dream I had where the opening jingle ended, the show faded in from black, and all the characters were there, but the camera was just cutting to each of their faces, and they were just screaming, and the puppets and marionettes were flailing spastically, and just all screaming, screaming. The girl was just moaning and crying like she had been through hours of this. I woke up many times from that nightmare. I used to wet the bed when I had it.

Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
i don’t think that was a dream. i remember that. i remember that was an episode.
Skyshale033
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
No no no, not possible. There was no plot or anything, I mean literally just standing in place crying and screaming for the whole show.

Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
maybe i’m manufacturing the memory because you said that, but i swear to god i remember seeing what you described. they just screamed.
Jaren_2005
Subject: Re: Candle Cove local kid’s show?
Oh God. Yes. The little girl, Janice, I remember seeing her shake. And the Skin-Taker screaming through his gnashing teeth, his jaw careening so wildly I thought it would come off its wire hinges. I turned it off and it was the last time I watched. I ran to tell my brother and we didn’t have the courage to turn it back on.

i visited my mom today at the nursing home. i asked her about when i was littel in the early 70s, when i was 8 or 9 and if she remebered a kid’s show, candle cove. she said she was suprised i could remember that and i asked why, and she said “because i used to think it was so strange that you said ‘i’m gona go watch candle cove now mom’ and then you would tune the tv to static and juts watch dead air for 30 minutes. you had a big imagination with your little pirate show."

That is a real show though. Props have been found. Mainly Skin-Taker's eye, his repaired head, and his top hat.

Skin- Taker's sidekick creeps me out. It rings a bell, though.

Yeah, the only puppet that wasn't damaged in the last episode WAS Horac Horrible, Skin-Taker's sidekick. That show was WIPED OFF OF THE EARTH. My grandmama lived in the city while it was being filmed, and doesnt know of it. ;A;

[Lizzi Noelliz]

I'd like to know more about Candle Cove. Does anyone know more about Candle Cove?

[Snowleopardyay!]

No. I'm sorry, but I may be able to dig up something.

[Chara Dreemurr]

Skin- Taker's sidekick seems to have these horrible teeth, and funny enough, is scarier the the villain himself (In my opinion).

What I am about to tell you is very much real. It's about lavander town [Pokemon] and you need to watch this one video and watch until you see a bunch of Unknown's that if you look closely spell "Leave NOW" find the link to the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK2iLnTR9V8

Alright now that you have watched the video you must be thinking exactly what I was thinking when I seen it "Yeah right! That's so fake!" but I was like whatever and downloaded a softwear that was almost exactly the same as the one in the video it has diffrent colors and cost like 50 bucks. I played the original Lavander Town music in the softwear and I just fastfoward towards where the Unknowns were told to be in the other video. I almost screamed as the same exact image was on there and the Unknown's were spelling out "Leave NOW". I tried to close it out but everything on my laptop froze. The music was still playing and I tried turing off my laptop.. Nothing. I do this thing [I don't know why] but I like let out a cat like hiss whenever something gets on my nerves or if I get scared/nerves. I took it too my dad [A computer tec] and he took the battery out of the laptop that without that it will be forced to shut down.

I'm writting this now on that laptop but now everything besides the softwear was erased. The origanal Lavander Town music I had saved into my laptop was completly erased. And btw by everything I mean my pictures, my videos, my music. I hate my laptop.

[Chara Dreemurr]

I have an old, broken iPod that bugs up every ten minutes, so I highly doubt the last part was true.
