The Delphi staff is proud to present its first annual scary story contest.

In celebration of Halloween, The Delphi is offering a $25 gift card to the writer of the best scary story; however, the entries cannot exceed the length of a single tweet. Below you will find the top 10 entries, as selected by The Delphi staff. It is up to you, the Del Val community, to select the winner. Please vote for the story that you believe is the scariest, most spine-chilling tale from the list. You may vote as many times as you want to. NOTE: Using a bot and not physically voting will lead to a reset of that story’s score. Cheating is not supported by The Delphi or its staff. The voting will close at midnight on Halloween, and the winner will be announced on Friday, November 1st. Happy Halloween!
