Sure. There's the story of the 'Slenderman'. It started as an online meme but soon evolved into a truly terrifying story. It's about a tall, faceless figure in a black suit that stalks people, especially children. Many people who read about it said they felt a sense of unease even in broad daylight after that.
The 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' series is quite good. It has lots of short, spine - chilling tales.
One really scary short story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is driven mad by an old man's vulture - like eye and eventually murders him. The narrator's increasing paranoia as he hears the heartbeat, which may be his own guilt - ridden conscience, is truly terrifying.
If you want some very scary ghost stories, you can read the book, On How to Make the Strange Conquer People with Virtue. The ghost stories in it are simply creepy. In addition,"I'm Courting Death in the World of Horror Revival" and "Pure Yang Ghost Fetus" also have some very terrifying plots. Please watch carefully. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation.

One really scary short story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is haunted by an old man's vulture - like eye and his descent into madness as he plots to kill the old man. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw' where a family gets a cursed paw that grants wishes, but with terrifying consequences. And 'The Yellow Wallpaper' which shows a woman's psychological breakdown in a room with hideous wallpaper.
One short and scary story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. In this story, the narrator is obsessed with an old man's vulture - like eye and eventually murders him. He then hears the sound of the old man's heart still beating, which drives him to insanity. Another is 'The Hitchhiker'. A person keeps seeing the same hitchhiker on the road no matter how far they drive, creating a sense of unease and mystery. And 'The Monkey's Paw' is also terrifying. A family gets a magical monkey's paw that grants wishes, but every wish comes with a horrible and unexpected consequence.
I'd suggest '30 Days of Night'. It's set in a town in Alaska during a month - long polar night, when vampires descend upon the isolated community. The idea of being trapped in the cold and dark with vampires is extremely frightening. The vampires in this story are very brutal and animal - like, which adds to the scariness factor.
One really scary creepypasta story is 'Jeff the Killer'. It's about a young boy who goes through a traumatic event that turns him into a deranged killer with a pale face and a permanent smile carved into it. He hunts people at night, whispering 'Go to sleep' before attacking.
One short and really scary story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who is driven mad by an old man's 'vulture - like' eye and ends up killing him. He then hears the old man's heart still beating beneath the floorboards where he hid the body, which drives him to confess.
One really scary story is about a haunted house. People who entered it at night would hear strange whispers and see shadowy figures. Lights would flicker on and off by themselves. There was an old legend that a family was brutally murdered in that house long ago, and their spirits were trapped there, seeking revenge on anyone who dared to enter.
Another one is 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. In a small town, there is an annual lottery. At first, it seems like a normal event, but as the story progresses, it turns out that the 'winner' of the lottery will be stoned to death by the townspeople. It shows the dark side of human nature and blind adherence to tradition.
