I heard a baby crying in the attic, but no one's lived there for years. It's a one - line ghost story that gives me chills just thinking about it. There could be some tragic past event associated with that attic, like a baby who passed away there long ago and its spirit still lingers. Every time I pass by the stairs leading to the attic, I can't help but feel a sense of unease.
Walking through the cemetery, a cold hand grabbed my ankle. Terrifying.
The old mirror showed a face that wasn't mine. Creepy.
He saw her across the crowded room. 'You're my forever', he thought.
Here is one: 'The cat chased the moonbeam, never catching it but always in pursuit.' This simple line gives a sense of the cat's endless curiosity and the ephemeral nature of the moonbeam. It's a little moment of playfulness captured in just a few words.
Another one could be: I saw a figure in the mirror. It vanished when I blinked. Well, two - line ghost stories are often short and to the point, aiming to give a quick chill. They rely on the element of surprise and the unknown which are typical in ghost - related tales.

He finally reached his dream place, alone. It was a place he had always wanted to visit with his best friend, but they had a falling - out and now he was there by himself, looking at the beautiful scenery yet feeling an emptiness inside.
A magician was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store.
A memorable one is 'I can't sleep at night because I keep hearing my name being whispered in my ear, but there's no one there.' It gives that feeling of being haunted and makes you shiver at the thought of an unseen presence that knows your name.
Another one might be 'The old doll in the attic blinked. I'm sure it did.' This simple line creates a sense of unease as dolls are often associated with the uncanny. The idea of an inanimate object like a doll showing signs of life is quite terrifying.
I heard my name whispered in the empty hallway. When I turned, there was only darkness.
