"Telling scary stories is something people have done for thousands of years, for most of us like being scared in that way. Since there isn't any danger, we think it is fun"
- To me, this perfectly explains that these books are harmless. There is no real danger. It is simply learning about things from a darker perspective.
"Some of these tales are very old, and they are told around the world. Most of them have the same origins.They are based on things people saw or heard or experienced. Or thought they did"
- Reading this quote, it makes me understand that these stories are just experiences. These 'terrifying' things have happened to people. Maybe not exactly, but they are real, valid statements. It's important to learn about the world, how people deal with things, and to interpret these stories in your own way.
"Most scary stories are, of course, meant to be told. That is what makes them scary. But it is important how you tell them"
- Telling scary stories is simply an art, people have done it for years. It's important to the creative and emotional health to hear and tell stories. It keeps our imaginations running wild, and it makes us who we are in most cases.
"There are many great stories to tell"
- I realize that this seems pretty bleak, but it's really quite complex to me. There are too many interesting and exciting things to share for the telling of these things to be banned.
