The contest asks users to tell their most frightening story, factual or
fictional. Entries will be evaluated based on the number of votes they
receive. The story that receives the most votes will win a brand-new Amazon
Kindle. A randomly chosen runner-up will win a $50 gift card to Amazon.com.
Entrants spin spooky tales of malevolent spirits, possessed MP3 players,
Native American shapeshifters, and surgery gone horribly wrong.
"One night he woke up and found a man standing over his bed staring down
at him... Then the man spoke. 'You feel cold, don't you?'" writes Patric
Krueger. "About a week later he woke up with 2nd degree burns on his arm."
"Scary stories have an important place in the college experience, and the
best time to tell them is Halloween," says Adam Sorensen, director of SEO at
ClassesandCareers.com. "So we created a contest where students share their
scariest stories and win a truly awesome prize."
The contest is the second contest from ClassesandCareers.com's new
College Life blog, which features posts, videos, podcasts, and contests
about everything college life. More contests will follow on a monthly basis.
Sorensen continues, "Everyone has a scary story to tell, no matter who
they are. Allowing people to tell those stories is a fun experience."
The contest ends at midnight on October 31, after which the top five
stories will be chosen. Users will be allowed to vote for their favorite
story until November 7. The winner and the randomly chosen runner-up will be
announced November 10. To enter the contest or see contest entries, visit
