This creepy tale is suitable for children as young as five, as even our most immature like to be scared. You can also describe the creature in your wardrobe and then tell it to your child on a rainy afternoon. After that, you could suggest playing hide-and-seek.

Two sisters spent the summer at their grandparents' home. They had a lot of fun when the sun was shining. They enjoyed swimming in the lake, exploring the woods, and playing in the gardens.

The girl's sister heard her screaming and ran to investigate. As her sister disappeared into the cupboard, she entered the room and watched in horror. The little sister was quick to react and ran towards the closet, grasping her sister's legs.
