Sure. The doorbell rang at midnight. When I opened the door, there was no one there but a cold wind blew through me.
Okay. I entered the abandoned hospital. As soon as I stepped in, I heard a blood - curdling scream echoing through the empty halls.
Sure. I woke up in a dark room. There was a figure standing over my bed with a knife.
I was alone in the attic. Then I felt someone whisper my name in a voice I didn't recognize.
Well, you need to think of something unexpected. Such as 'I looked at my reflection in the mirror. But it wasn't me staring back.' It's about catching the reader off - guard.
Walking in the forest, I heard a strange howl. Then I saw a pair of glowing red eyes in the bushes.
Here's one. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a shadowy figure at the foot of my bed. When I blinked, it was gone but I could still feel its presence.

I felt a presence in the basement. As I descended the stairs, the door slammed shut behind me.
I woke up to a hand on my face, but I live alone.
