A hiker got lost in the woods at night. He saw a faint light in the distance and followed it. As he got closer, he realized it was a figure in white floating above the ground. Terrified, he ran in the opposite direction, but the figure seemed to follow him.
Yes, there is one story that has been passed around. Supposedly, in a dilapidated building that was once a butcher's establishment, 'butcherface' haunts the place. People who enter at night often report a feeling of being watched. There are also strange smells, like rotting meat. It's believed that 'butcherface' is still there, perhaps angry about something that happened to him when he was alive, like a bad business deal or a betrayal by someone he trusted.
If you want to read a scary ghost story, I recommend you to read " Ghost Story with an Unpredictable Ending " and " The Temptation of the River's Ghost Eye." These two novels were both suspense and mysterious. The plot was full of ups and downs, and it was thrilling. It was very suitable for readers who liked horror stories. I hope you like my recommendation.
The story of 'Bloody Mary' is also quite creepy. Legend has it that if you stand in a dark bathroom, light a candle, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times into the mirror, a ghostly apparition will appear. She is said to have a pale face covered in blood, and her eyes are filled with malice.
One story could be about a haunted old mansion. People who enter at night hear strange whispers and see shadowy figures moving in the halls. Another might be a story of a lonely cemetery where a ghostly figure in white is often seen floating among the tombstones. The third could be a tale of a possessed doll that causes strange things to happen in the house it's in.
They play on our primal fears. Everyone is a little afraid of the unknown, and ghosts represent that. For example, a story about a haunted mirror where you see a face that's not your own briefly. It gives you chills because it's something that could potentially happen to anyone, yet it's so strange and unexplainable.
One creepy short ghost story is about an old abandoned house. A girl was dared by her friends to go inside at night. As she entered, she heard a faint whispering. She saw a shadowy figure in the corner that disappeared when she blinked. She ran out in terror and never went back.
A sense of unease and a feeling of being watched are key factors. For example, in some stories, people feel a cold presence following them. It's not just about seeing a ghostly figure, but also that lingering feeling that something is not right. It could be a sudden drop in temperature in a room where no one else is around, or a feeling of dread that overcomes you for no apparent reason. This makes the story more than just a spooky tale, but something that can really get under your skin.
I don't recommend copying scary ghost stories. After all, some readers might be affected. However, if you like mystery novels, you can try reading "The Magic Cat Exorcises the Demon." This novel uses the protagonist Jiang Ming to fall into the sewers, become a cat, and be controlled by a mouse to unfold a mysterious story. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
A true short ghost story that gives me the chills is about a cemetery. A caretaker often heard strange whispers when he was working late. One night, he saw a figure floating above a grave. He thought it was his imagination at first, but then it started to move towards him. He ran away and never worked there at night again.
