Brain Teasers

1. Alone in the House

I was really scared last night after I read a really creepy story on this scary Website I always visit. What made it worse was that my parents were away, so I was alone in the house. I switched on all the lights in my room and in the hall leading to the bathroom. That calmed me down a little. The only scary thing that happened was when I finished showering and went back to my room. I switched on the light and, at that exact moment, my handbag fell off the chair. That made me jump! LOL 

2. Strange Dinner

A few days ago, I was invited to dinner at a friend’s house. The strange thing is, my friend recently got involved with some weird religious cult. While I was there, he served up some type of meat, but he wouldn’t tell me what kind of meat it was. It kind of freaked me out. For a second, I wondered if it was human meat, but then, after I ate it, I knew it definitely wasn’t human meat.

3. The Girl in the Library

Yesterday, I went to the library to borrow some books. I asked the librarian where the horror section was and she directed me to some shelves that were in the corner, against the wall. I was browsing through the titles, when I came to a gap in the books and a cute girl peering through at me from the other side. Our eyes met for a moment and she smiled. I spent 10 minutes trying to work up the courage to start a conversation with her, but in the end I just picked out 3 books and brought them over to the librarian’s counter. Why am I such a wuss? If I’d been brave enough to talk to that girl, I could have maybe got her number.

4. Autopsy Exam

Studying to become a doctor is really hard work, but I scored 100% at my autopsy exam on Friday. I can’t take all the credit though. My roommate was a huge help. I wish I could thank him, but he’s no longer with us. RIP Jacob.

5. Pizza Delivery

I was delivering a pizza to an old apartment building in a bad area of town. When I pushed the button to call the elevator, the doors opened immediately. Suddenly, this woman ran out screaming with this crazy look on her face. She ran out of the building before I could say a word. Some people are just weird. I looked inside the elevator, just to check for scary murderers. Nope, nothing. But I still ended up taking the stairs.

6. Suicide Video

A few days ago, my boyfriend sent me an email with a video link in it. When I watched the video, I was horrified. It showed him committing suicide. In the video, he tied a rope around his neck and jumped off a chair. How could he send me something like that?? His funeral is tomorrow, but I can’t bring myself to go. Am I a bad person?

7. Girlfriend

My mom treats my girlfriend like crap. Whenever we come over to visit, she never sets out a place for her. Today, when she was cleaning, she grabbed her and called her dirty and tried to throw her in the closet. That was too much for me. I shouted “Mom! Don’t treat Alice that way!” My mom just looked at me and was all like “Alice? Who the bleep is Alice?” I can’t believe how rude my mom is.

8. Burglar

A few minutes ago, I was taking a shower and I heard a scream from the living room. I got out of the bath and ran out there naked. When I got there, I saw a burglar standing over the dead bodies of my mom, my dad and my sister. When the burglar saw me, he jumped out the window and ran off. I’m so scared. I don’t know what to do.

9. Three Wives

I’ve lost three wives. Can you believe that? Let me tell you, alcohol is a very dangerous thing. My first wife was an alcoholic. She loved to drink wine. After we were married for 2 years, she suffered from alcohol poisoning and died. My second wife was also very fond of wine. Her death was caused by her drinking too. My third wife died in a different way. She broke her neck when she fell down the stairs. She wasn’t drunk, though. She always refused to drink wine.

10. Cheap Hotel

I’m on holiday in Bangkok, Thailand and I’m staying in a cheap hotel. The locals say this hotel is haunted, but you know how Thai people are… They’re very superstitious. However, I did have one scary incident last night. I took a bath and while I was blow-drying my hair, I switched on the TV. Suddenly, a horrifying, old, white-faced woman appeared on the screen. It gave me such a fright, I dropped the hair-drier into the bathtub. That knocked out all the lights in my room. I had to rely on the light from the TV to get dressed. Then, when I went down to the lobby, I found out that my little accident had knocked out the electricity in the whole hotel. The hotel manager wasn’t very happy with me. LOL

  • no.6= he was murdered, cause it wouldn’t be possible for him to send a suicide video AFTER dying so whoever killed him did

  • #5
    The woman in the elevator could be the Partner of the killer, she was just waiting the for the pizza guy to arrive and to scare him, that he would take the stairs, where the real danger, the killer was waiting for him. She was just faking it, to scare the shit out of him.

  • Did everybody go to first grade? I’ll tell u the answers… I’ll explain it too if needed
    1.) the story says he/she turned on all the lights because she was scared. On the way back the lights are off. Someone is in the house with her.
    2.) How would he know how human tastes…
    3.) it is against a wall
    4.) the roommate is a ghost that came back to help his friend! Creepy!
    5.) this was harder. The elevator opened immediately, as if she just got in the elevator. The elevator wouldn’t be stuck, because it wouldn’t have opened like that. The women was running from something, not on the elevator because he checked it. He went on the stairs to…you can guess
    6.) someone made him kill himself…how did he send it after you know
    7.) Alice is not a person…
    8.) they Calle chin a burglar,not murderer. The narrator killed them
    9.) he killed them
    10.) guys, seriously? How could the electricity go out and the television stay one… Use ya brains!

  • 1: She had to turn on the light again
    2: how could he know if he hadnt had human meat before ;))
    3: if your against the wall there cant be a girl on the other side…
    4: he did the test on his roomate… oops… FORMER roomate.

    7: it wasnt a human TAN TAN TAN
    9: Poisoned the two with the alcohol problem other one refused to drink so he threw her down the stairs
    10: How would he T.V be on if the power went out

  • Dear admin, does #5’s solution is “a murderer on stairs”as guessed by most people here? Kindly reply. I would be grateful.

  • for the 4th one i think that the guy did the test first on his roommate thats how he got 100%

  • Answer to no. 9

    He killed all his family members.The burglar got inside the house and saw the dead bodies and screamed.When he came out hearing the burglar’s scream,the burglar ran away because he thought he would be killed also by the boy.

  • 1. He turned all the lights on, left the room, and yet when he comes back he must turn on a light. This means while he was gone, someone turned off the light.

    2. To know that it isn’t human meat you must have eaten human meat. Therefore, he is a cannibal.

    3. The bookshelf was against the corner wall, so the other side should have just been a wall. And yet, he say a girl.

    4. Not that it needs explaining, but he killed and examined his roommate in order to pass his exam.

    5. I’m not sure on this one. It’s strange that the door opens right away, meaning the elevator was already on the ground floor, which begs the question of why was she waiting there if it was already at it’s destination. My only guess is that she was stuck in there, and the pizza guy didn’t want to get trapped in the dysfunctional elevator?

    6. you can’t send a video of yourself killing yourself, as you are dead before you can have a chance to finish the video and send it out.

    7. Alice is some sort of inanimate object. I’m assuming a body sized pillow, but that’s not really creepy, just a little sad. Unless I’m missing something on this one?

    8. He called the man a burglar, not a killer. He was also washing himself. He also does not seem concerned with the dead family members. He killed them, and was washing up, when the burglar broke in to steal stuff. He saw the bodies and screamed. The man ran out of the bathroom and saw the burglar, who then ran away. The man is now scared because there is a witness to his crime.

    9. The man killed his first two wives by forcing them to drink wine until alcohol poisoning killed them. The third refused, so he threw her down the stairs, killing her.

    10. The whole building has lost power. Why was her tv still emitting light? (spoooky)

  • @WeAcceptHer Hmm you’re right! Didn’t think about that!
    For no.5, I think that woman used the elevator to hide inside, as she met a murderer upstairs. I think the pizza man will be killed as the murderer is using the stairs.

  • 1-someone or something turn off the light when he was at bathroom .
    2-i didn’t figure it out.
    3-the girl he saw was a ghost ’cause the shelves against the wall.
    4-he/she was doing autopsy on his friend Jacob .
    5-maybe the woman was a ghost ’cause he probably didn’t find a floor in the elevator.
    6-how could he send her a suicide video after he died it would his ghost ,if ghosts using the internet xb.
    7-his football or doll i don’t know.
    8-didn’t know.
    9-he’s the one who force them to drink or killing them.
    10-if the whole building was out of electricity how the tv is still lighting O_o

  • No. 10 “It gave me such a fright, I dropped the hair-dryer into the bathtub.” She’s dead lol, but she doesn’t know that now she’s in the paranormal world…?

  • For No.5, it is odd that a woman is waiting inside the elevator since the elevator has already reached ground floor (in which the pizza guy is waiting). The door opens immediately, meaning that the lift is always on ground floor. So, she has probably being trapped inside the elevator until the pizza guy came. Perhaps she is so relieved to be out so she screamed all the way.

    For no6, the boyfriend is dead so it is not possible that he can send the video to the girl. Unless if it is a live video chat, then it is possible.

    no5 and no6 are confusing, but I finally understood now….

  • 1. She already turned the lights on
    2. How does he know what human meat tastes like?!
    3. The shelves were floating, there needs to be a back on a bookshelf
    4. He killed his friend
    5. There was probably a murder on the stairs and that’s why she took the lift, but then he went on the stairs
    6. How did he stop and send the video if he was dead?
    7. His girlfriend is a clothing item… weirdo
    8. The naked guy killed his family and the burglar was scared he’d be killed
    9. He murdered her when he was drunk
    10. If all the electricity was out, how was the TV on?? It could’ve been a reflection…

  • Can Scary for kids just post the answer for #5! It’s killing me! 😭😩

  • Does number 8 mean that the naked guy killed his family, then burglar was scared he was going to be killed and ran away?? That’s what I thought.

  • 1-she turned on every light already.
    2-how do they know what human meat tastes like…?
    3-if it’s a shelf, then it obviously has a back.
    4-pretty self explanatory, he used his partner as his test dummy.
    5-???
    6-how could the boyfriend send the video if he’s dead?
    7-she probably can’t see her…?
    8-“I was taking a shower” “I got out of the bath” but idk
    9-she was pushed, possibly?
    10-how could the TV be on if the electricity was knocked out?

  • There is song by Smokie called Living Next Door To Alice. There is a line in that song which goes like – “Alice? Who the f… is Alice? ” In the riddle Girlfriend his mother also says this Alice line. Made me laugh. : )

  • 1. He turned all the lights on before he took a shower, yet he had to turn a light on again? He already turned it on!
    2. He knows what human meat tastes like, and that’s how he knew it wasn’t human meat
    3. The shelves were against the wall, so how could someone have been on the other side?
    4. He killed his roommate and then used the corpse to study.
    5. If the doors opened immediately, then the woman would have been waiting in the elevator already. Maybe a prank?
    6. He sent the video AFTER committing suicide???
    7. Alice is a piece of clothing. Clothing can be dirty, and also be thrown in closets.
    8. Well of course someone will run away if you’re naked!
    9. You murdered the third wife when you were drunk.
    10. If the electricity was out, how come the TV worked?

  • I got number 5… The people in the apartment were all part of a secret organisation that were staying there and decided they would just live off takeaway while they were staying and that woman was part of it. That explains why the guy was delivering pizza. The woman was running out screaming because they gave her the wrong order. At least that’s the only logical reason I can see.

  • ANSWERS:

    1. She had turned on the lights. Someone was in the house.
    2. How would he know what human meat taste like? He was probably a cannibal or his friend was.
    3. The shelf was up against the wall so she was a ghost.
    4. He killed his friend.
    5. The woman was probably running from a murderer on the stair and then the guy got murdered.
    6. If he died how he send the video to her. Someone probably forced him to kill himself, videoed it, hacked his email, and sent it to her.
    7. Let’s face it, SHE IS A MOP!!!!!!
    8. Burglars only steal, so he killed them and was cleaning off all the blood.
    9. He forced the first 2 wives to drink until they died, and when his 3rd wife didn’t want to drink he pushed her down the stairs.
    10. If the electricity was out, how was the TV on? One answer, GHOST!
