9. The Haunted House (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark)
The Haunted House made it onto this list mostly because the illustration for this story is really creepy. The story itself is just okay.
A preacher decided to stay at a haunted house overnight in an attempt to put a spirit to rest. Near midnight, he heard noises coming from the basement. Eventually, he began to hear someone climb up the stairs and turn the doorknob, so he yelled to ask what whoever it was wanted. This happened several times and, eventually, a decaying woman walked through the door. She explained that she was killed by her boyfriend and buried in the basement. Then she handed him one of her fingers and asked him to put it in the collection plate at the next church service. He agreed and when a specific man touched the finger (WHY would anyone touch it??), it latched onto him. This was the man who murdered the young woman.
