Well, there's a trippy scary story of a mirror. A girl noticed that every time she looked into her old antique mirror, her reflection would blink at a different time than she did.

A passenger boarded a seemingly normal bus, but as it drove on, the other passengers' faces started to melt and the bus seemed to be driving into an endless void.

Their little son kept talking to an 'imaginary friend' who turned out to be a malevolent spirit that haunted the house before they moved in.
A trippy cartoon is trippy because of a combination of factors. The use of bright, hallucinatory colors, odd perspectives, and fantastical elements that don't follow the rules of reality. Plus, the plot might be full of randomness and unexpected twists.
One scary trippy story is about a girl who moved into an old house. At night, she would hear strange scratching noises coming from the walls.

Ever since then, she always felt like she was being watched in that house.
Fairy tales and stories with positive and gentle themes are great. They can create a peaceful and pleasant mood.
Some good options could be simple fictional stories with positive endings. They give you a sense of hope and relief. Or real-life anecdotes of people finding inner strength in tough situations. These kinds of stories can boost your mood when you're feeling anxious.
One characteristic is the unexpected twists. In 'The Veldt', you don't expect the children's relationship with the virtual nursery to turn so dark. Trippy short stories also tend to have unreliable narrators. Take 'The Tell - Tale Heart', the narrator's sanity is clearly in question, and his view of events is warped. And they usually create a sense of unease or confusion. In 'The Lottery', the whole concept of the lottery is so strange and the reactions of the townspeople are so nonchalant that it makes the reader feel off - balance.
Funny and light-hearted stories can be a good choice. They can help lift the mood and provide some entertainment.
Yes. There's 'The Veldt' by Ray Bradbury. In this story, the children become too attached to a virtual reality nursery that shows an African veldt, and things take a very strange and disturbing turn.

There are many great novels suitable for high schoolers. Classics like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Pride and Prejudice' offer valuable insights and literary merit.
One great 'trippy horror novel' is 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. It plays with the format of the book itself, creating a disorienting and mind - bending experience for the reader. The story within the story structure adds to the overall sense of unease.
