In one story, a group of friends goes to play in the park at night, but they soon realize that they are not alone. They hear strange noises and see shadowy figures lurking in the dark corners. In another story, a new student arrives at school, but the other students quickly realize that there is something off about him. As they try to uncover the truth, they find themselves in grave danger.

Despite the spooky nature of the stories, each one has a moral lesson for kids to take away. For example, the importance of being kind to others or the consequences of breaking rules. The book is designed to give kids a good scare while also encouraging them to think about important values.
