A friend of mine had a scary text message story. He got a text with a picture of his front door and the words 'I'm near'. He didn't know who it could be. He called the police right away. They checked the area but didn't find anyone suspicious. But it still took him a long time to feel safe again, and he installed extra security cameras at his place.
Sure. There's a story where a girl named Gabby starts getting text messages from a blocked number. The messages say things like 'I'm in your house'. Gabby is initially scared but tries to rationalize it. However, as she walks around her house, she hears strange noises that match the timing of the text messages. In the end, she discovers that it was her prank - loving brother all along, but the initial fear was very real.
There was a man who received a text message that simply said 'Your time is up'. He had no idea what it meant. As days passed, strange things started happening around him. His car tires were slashed, and he heard weird noises at night. He reported the text to the police, but they didn't find any leads. It turned out to be a case of misdirected threats from a mentally unstable person who had the wrong number.
A woman got a text with a photo of her own bedroom, but she was at work at that time. The text said 'I'm closer than you think'. She was terrified. She asked her neighbors to check on her house, but they found nothing. However, she couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched ever since she got that text.
Perhaps a story where the text messages are in a strange language at first. Then, gradually, as the person tries to translate them, they realize it's some sort of warning about a danger that's coming their way. The messages keep getting more and more urgent, and the person has no idea who is sending them or how to stop what's about to happen. This would be a really memorable and scary type of story.
Once upon a Christmas, I received a text from an old friend. It said, 'Remember the Christmas we spent sledding? Missing those days. Merry Christmas!' It brought back memories of us racing down the snowy hills, laughter in the cold air. It was such a simple yet heartwarming text that made my Christmas special.
Once I got a text that said 'I'm watching you from the attic.' I live alone. I nervously looked up at the attic hatch. Heart pounding, I grabbed a flashlight and slowly climbed the stairs. But when I opened the hatch, there was nothing there. Then my phone buzzed again, 'You can't escape me.' It was so creepy.
Sure. One text message horror story could be like this: A girl received a text from an unknown number saying 'I'm always watching you'. She ignored it at first, but then strange things started to happen around her. Her things were moved when she was out, and she would sometimes feel like someone was staring at her from the shadows.
Once I received a text message that told a really strange zombie story. It was about a town where people started getting text messages from an unknown number. The messages described a zombie outbreak that was slowly approaching the town. People initially thought it was a joke but then strange things started to happen. They saw figures in the distance that looked like zombies. It was really scary as the texts seemed to be predicting the events accurately.
Using short, cryptic messages helps build suspense. If the text says 'It's coming for you' but doesn't say what 'it' is. You start to imagine all sorts of scary things. And when the messages keep coming at intervals, like waiting for the next one, it keeps the tension high. For instance, you get one text in the morning and have to wait all day for the next one, constantly on edge.
Sure. Once my friend sent a text saying 'I just saw a cat riding a skateboard!' It was so absurd that I couldn't stop laughing. Another time, my sister texted me 'I'm stuck in the washing machine. Help!' which was clearly a joke but still very funny.
