Since I don't have direct access to dvdp tumblr's scary stories, I can only guess the types. There could be stories about vengeful spirits. Maybe a person wrongs someone in the past, and years later, a strange figure starts to haunt them. They see this figure in their dreams and then start to notice strange things in their waking life, like objects being moved or a feeling of being constantly watched.
I'm not sure about dvdp tumblr specifically. But Tumblr in general has a lot of horror content. Some stories might involve serial killers in small towns. They could describe how the killer hunts down their victims in the dead of night, leaving a trail of fear in the community.
There might be a story of a lost forest. A hiker got lost in a forest near Sixpence Tumblr's area. As he wandered, he noticed that the trees seemed to be closing in on him. He heard whispers that he couldn't understand. The further he walked, the more disoriented he became. He then saw strange lights that seemed to be leading him deeper into the forest, which was rumored to be a place where people who entered never came out alive.
One scary Tumblr story I heard was about a girl who moved into an old house. Every night, she would hear strange scratching noises coming from the attic. One day, she decided to investigate. When she opened the attic door, a cold wind blew past her, and she saw a pair of glowing eyes in the corner. She ran out of the attic and never went back up there again.
A Tumblr user shared a story of a family who bought an antique mirror. Strange things started to happen. At first, they saw faint images in the mirror that didn't match the room behind them. Then, they would often find their furniture moved slightly in the morning as if someone had been in the room at night. One day, the youngest child was staring into the mirror and started screaming. When the parents looked, they saw a menacing face staring back at them. They got rid of the mirror right away.
One really spooky story is about a guy who received an old photograph in the mail. He didn't know who sent it or why. The photo showed a house he had never seen before. As he looked closer, he noticed a figure in one of the windows that looked like it was in pain. Over the next few days, he started having nightmares about the house. He decided to find out where the house was. When he finally located it, it was abandoned and had a very eerie feeling. He went inside and heard strange noises. He quickly left and never wanted to go back.
A Tumblr sad short story might be about unrequited love. A boy was in love with a girl in his class. He would do all these little things for her, like bringing her an extra snack or helping her with her homework. But she only saw him as a friend. He watched as she fell in love with someone else. In the end, he had to accept that his feelings would never be returned and it was a very poignant tale of unfulfilled love.
Another memorable story is about a boy who found an old, dusty book in the attic. When he opened it, the pages were blank at first. But as he stared at them, words started to appear, writing out a story of a curse that was placed on the house he lived in. The more he read, the colder the room got and he could hear strange voices. He slammed the book shut and never went back to the attic.
Sure. One of the scariest might be the story about the haunted house where strange noises and apparitions were constantly seen. It gives a really eerie feeling.
One of the Tumblr scary stories is about a haunted mirror. A girl got an old mirror from a thrift store. Every time she looked into it at night, she saw a shadowy figure behind her that wasn't there in real life. It got so terrifying that she finally smashed the mirror.
Sure. One classic scary story could be 'The Tell - Tale Heart' where the narrator's obsession and guilt drive him to madness. Another might be 'The Monkey's Paw' which shows the terrifying consequences of interfering with fate. And 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' with its headless horseman is also very spooky.
