The darkness is a key factor. At night, we can't see as well. In 'alone at night scary stories', the darkness hides things. There could be something lurking just out of sight. It creates a sense of unease and anticipation of something bad about to happen. And when something does happen, like a sudden noise in the dark, it's extra terrifying because we can't immediately figure out what it is.
Isolation plays a big role. Being alone means there's no one to turn to for help. In these stories, the characters are often trapped in a situation where they are by themselves and have to face whatever is scaring them. It makes the reader or listener put themselves in that situation and feel the fear.
