The Girl Left Behind by SamanthaDybing

Lily Morgan has never truly belonged. After surviving the fire that killed her parents as a baby, she was taken in by relatives who never wanted her-an obligation, not a child. For seventeen years, she's lived in a house that feels more like a prison, haunted by a past she can't remember and a future she isn't sure she wants. But when her senior class plans a week-long trip to Hollow Pines, something inside her whispers that this isn't just a getaway. It's a warning. Because Hollow Pines isn't just any camp. People have gone missing there before. And when Lily vanishes on the third night, her friends are left scrambling for answers-only to uncover secrets that should have stayed buried. Somebody wanted Lily dead the night her parents burned. And this time, they won't fail. A haunting mystery filled with secrets, betrayals, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is Lying.

$Just Have Faith {EDITED, COMPLETED} by heavy_eyez$

She was found on the side of the road near the woods, half naked, bleeding, and mute. She can't seem to remember anything about her past, but even if she did, she doesn't have the means to explain herself. With these sudden turn of events, Faith suddenly has a choice to make. Put some amount of trust in the men who found her, or risk dying out in the woods. (updated slightly to make sense & sound better)

Phantom of the Apartment by 8BlueDragons

For many, the word haunted brings to mind malicious spirits prowling darkened halls in the dead of night and preying upon the living. Not for Jason. For Jason, it brought to mind the antics of his sarcastic "roommate" named Rebecca. Rebecca was just like any other roommate, really. She took his stuff without asking, ate all the cereal, moved things and forgot where she put them, and sang annoying songs around the apartment. The only obvious difference between Rebecca and everyone else was that Rebecca had been dead for two years. And she couldn't remember how she died. As the two roommates delve into the mysteries of their own pasts, they discover that answers may not be as distant as they originally seemed. Completed! Highest: #311 in Paranormal

One by one by WorthyReading

It wasn't very difficult to plan out my first victim. I watched them all day, studied their movements, listened to their conversations, and watched them fall asleep. The funny thing about it was that I was just a few feet away from them. But how could they have known? Why would they have to be scared for their lives when they were oblivious to how fast I could end them? When all goes wrong, nothing else can go right. A last week school field trip could cost you your life. But why think that way when the trip has yet to begin. When a group of five friends go on a school field trip to the woods, things seem normal until one of them goes missing.

Cabin 6 by SirBedlam

To Kill a Witch (ONC 2024 SHORTLIST) by ixseesxblue

Stories say that the Witch rained curses down on Devil's Corner, that she made the woods grow strange and wild, made shadows leap and dance and snatch up stray children for supper. In a small town on the edge of a dangerous forest, stories are never in short supply, and they are held dearer than truth. Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there. But her Pa fed her tales of magic and heroes, and promises that even the darkest things have hearts. When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. Because in Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch. --- COMPLETE - 20,000 words Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.
