Know Your Folklore

American Folklore is a great resource of scary stories for Halloween. They have scary stories, ghost stories, funny ghost stories and even audio for spooky podcasts. Also, supernatural stories.

Since Halloween is coming up, I mentioned the scary stories. But the site isn't dedicated specifically to scary stories. You can read about children stories, myths & legends, Native Indians, Mexican, US and Canadian folklore, campfire stories, animal stories, heroes & villains, and tall tales.

There are also weather lore, railroad stories, tongue twisters and Latin American folklore. American Folklore also offers lesson plans and ESL (English as a Second Language) short stories.
