Scary Sounds

A collection of sounds suitable for any sort of scary creaking, knocking, or stepping on of wood.

Scary Sounds is a set of spine-chilling noises and creepy creatures. All the sorts of sounds you might hear in and around a haunted house.
Created using an acoustic guitar and a variety of delay effects.

All sounds are public domain and do not require credit, but I'd love to hear about how you use them!
