This year, the Grand County Library District had 84 amazing stories entered into the annual Hot Sulphur Springs and Kremmling Scary Story Contests. Thank you to all who wrote a story. Here are a few of the winners:<\/p>\n

First Place: First Grade<\/p>\n

\u201cWerewolf\u201d by William Rizzuto<\/p>\n

I went outside and I saw the full moon. I turned into a werewolf. People started to shoot me so I ran away. I was running to the forest. I ate some sheep and howled at the moon. The end.<\/p>\n

Hot Sulphur Springs: Third Grade<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Little Pony\u201d by Sego Krempin<\/p>\n

On a dark starry night, there was a little pony under a tree. The thunder boomed and the lightning struck and the pony was gone. I waited and waited and there was three men running to a car and they were gone. Then I heard a sound and then the sound was gone. Then the thunder rolled, the lightning struck and I was unconscious, next thing I knew I was far away from my house and my friend that was kidnapped 4 years ago was there. The pony was there too. I was scared I didn\u2019t know how I was going to get home, I picked up a rock and wished to home, I was in my bed and from that day on, anybody was bothered again on Halloween Day.<\/p>\n

the End<\/p>\n

First Place: Fourth Grade \u2014 \u201cThe Wicked Curse\u201d by Cora Osborne<\/p>\n

Finally, it was Halloween eve. I just couldn\u2019t wait until tomorrow! I was going to be a witch. It was even better because I was trick-or-treating with Mia and Kia, my two best friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cCara,\u201d my mom called out to me. \u201cWe\u2019re going to the thrift shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHey mom can I get that book?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do you want that book?\u201d my mom called out to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor my costume. Duh,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure,\u201d she called back at me.<\/p>\n

Finally, we got home. Me and my brother decided to get some fresh air in the corn fields. I looked around and the crows were eating off the corn cobs. I threw a rock at them and they still wouldn\u2019t go away. I kept throwing rocks at them. First one, then two, then three, then four, then five. Finally, they flew away but I was still worried they would come back. I got really bored so I went inside and asked my mom if Mia and Kia could come over and she said \u201cyes!\u201d<\/p>\n

We ran out and right away I saw those pesky crows eating the cobs! I ran around chasing them until they flew far where I could not see them and that\u2019s when my friends and I decided to make a scarecrow. We ran inside right away and got to stitching and stuffing. We thought it looked a little too scary but we knew that would keep them away.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey guys, I got this new book. We should totally check it out!\u201d I hollered.<\/p>\n

We saw a page with the title Dead Man. We all thought we should go play dead man since we haven\u2019t played it for a long time. We brought the book because we forgot the words. We ran to the trampoline. Kia was the first dead man. Me and Mia sang the song.<\/p>\n

Later on that aflernoon we went for a walk and we saw a dozen dead people walking around as we passed the graveyard. Suddenly, they all started running after us. We looked at the author\u2019s signature inside the book. The author was Karla De El Muago. She was a wicked person and got arrested over 40 times! This book was made in 1981 the last year she went to jail and the last time she would ever see the sun\u2019s light. She wrote this book when she was in jail so she could avenge herself. We kept casting spells until we were out. We looked at the last page and it told us about how to uncast a spell if it got out of control. We did exactly what it said and POOF! It was all gone. The day we went back to school our teacher asked us what we did and we said nothing.<\/p>\n

First Place: Middle School<\/p>\n

\u201cBloody Mary\u201d by Wendy Eller<\/p>\n

Mary staggered along the dreary street. She drug her feet across the wet sidewalk, trying to stay awake. She continued like this for several blocks, until her legs began to fail her. She went down onto her knees before resting her face on the cold concrete. She fell into a dreamless sleep. Mary woke up to a woman with golden hair shaking her shoulders.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my goodness! Are you alright?\u201d the kind lady asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cY\u2026,\u201d Mary yawned.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah I\u2019m okay,\u201d she continued with a shaking voice.<\/p>\n

Lachell spotted her numb, red fingers. \u201cGolly! How long have you been out here?\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cCome inside with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She dragged Mary inside to her child, Sharon, who was just finishing their breakfast.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s that?\u201d asked Sharon, a teen with bright blue hair<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. I found her out on the pavement; I think she was out there all night.\u201d Lachell responded absently running her fingers through Mary\u2019s Matted hair.<\/p>\n

Sharon chimed in, \u201cWell, I\u2019m Sharon, and that\u2019s my mother, Lachell. What\u2019s your name?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

Mary\u2019s eyes danced around the room. She shouldn\u2019t around such a nice family, she thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, umm, I\u2019m Mary,\u201d she stuttered. She hesitantly shifted her gaze upward toward Sharon. She caught a glimpse of an all to familiar dark figure in Sharon\u2019s glasses.<\/p>\n

\u201cMary, honey will you wash your hands? You ought to have a hot meal before we find your parents,\u201d Lachell said warmly. \u201cThe nathroom \u2018s this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mary stumbled towards the bathroom with her head hung low. As Mary left the room Sharon nudged her mother and whispered, \u201cI thought I just saw her eyes turn black. I hope she\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s probably nothing,\u201d her mother replied.<\/p>\n

Mary looked down at her toes and fumbled for the facet, when she heard a chilly voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook up,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Mary murmured as her stomach clenched. She squeezed her eyes shut.<\/p>\n

A bony hand reached it\u2019s way through the mirror and planted itself on Mary\u2019s frail chin. She wanted to pull away, but it was like she was paralyzed. The creature lifted her head. \u201cOpen your eyes,\u201d it rasped.<\/p>\n

Mary tried to resist, but she felt her eyes open anyway. She saw a tall humanoid creature looming mostly on the other side of the mirror. It unnaturally hunched over mid hack at one of the vertebrae of its nearly exposes spine. The sockets where its eyes should\u2019ve been stared directly at her, and its mouth gaped open revealing its many teeth. A black blood-like substance ran down its horrific face. Her vision started to get blurry and she screeched as excruciating pain filled her entire body. Then it all went numb.<\/p>\n

Sharon heard Mary\u2019s scream reverberate from the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

When she heard no response, she opened the door to find Mary with her white hair draping over her face and her newly blackened eyes looking up at her.<\/p>\n

Mary felt her hand reach out, but she couldn\u2019t control it. She grasped Sharon\u2019s neck and began to raise her into the air. Lachell, terrified, grabbed a nearby vase and thrust it into Mary\u2019s forehead. Black blood streamed down her face. Mary staggered backwards and rammed into the mirror. Instead of bouncing off, she began to fall into the dark depths of it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Mary woke up on the pavement. Her head throbbed; she must have hit it when she passed out. She reached her hand up and touched her wound. Her fingers had a black substance on them. She began to hear voices saying bloody Mary, bloody Mary. She turned around only to see a mirror.<\/p>\n
