Here's another: 'The old doll's eyes followed me around the room. It was smiling too.' Dolls can be very creepy, especially when they seem to have a life of their own like their eyes following you and smiling in a strange way.
A third example is 'The phone rang at 3 am. It was my voice on the other end.' This is scary as it's unexpected and the thought of hearing your own voice on the phone when it rings in the middle of the night is really disturbing.
One example is 'My sister said she saw mom in the basement. Mom died last year.' It's horrifying because seeing a dead relative in a place like the basement is really spooky.
Here's another. 'I found a doll in the attic. Its eyes followed me as I left.' This creates a sense of unease in just two sentences. The idea of a doll having some sort of awareness and the fact that its eyes seem to move on their own is quite creepy. It plays on the common fear of inanimate objects coming to life or having an otherworldly presence. In many horror stories, dolls are often used as a symbol of something sinister because they can look so human - like yet be so lifeless, and this two - sentence story captures that essence of horror.
The first one: I woke up in the middle of the night. When I looked at the mirror, there was a figure behind me but no one was there when I turned around.
I woke up to find a strange handprint on my window. Then I realized I live on the 13th floor.
Here's another. I heard a scratching at my door all night. In the morning, I found deep claw marks on the outside.
Well, here are some. 'I always sleep with a nightlight. Last night, I woke up to find it was inside my head.' And also 'My sister said she saw a man in her room. Now she's the one who stares at me at night.'
Here's another: 'The old doll in the corner blinked. I was alone in the room.' This is creepy because dolls are often associated with unease, and the idea of it blinking when no one else is around is quite terrifying. It plays on our fear of the inanimate coming to life.
I heard a knock on the door at midnight. When I opened it, no one was there, but I felt a cold hand on my shoulder.
Example 1: I heard a noise downstairs. When I checked, there was no one there, but the front door was wide open. Example 2: She woke up in the middle of the night. A dark figure was standing at the foot of her bed.
Well, here's one: 'I woke up to a strange noise. When I turned on the light, no one was there.'
I woke up to find a handprint on the window that wasn't mine. It was small, like a child's, but I live alone.
