A girl I knew got a text from her ex - boyfriend who had passed away a year before. The text just said 'I miss you'. She thought it was some cruel prank at first. But then more texts came. 'Why did you forget me?' She was really scared. She showed the texts to her family, but they thought she was making it up. She changed her number in the end, but she still wonders if it was really her ex - boyfriend somehow reaching out from the other side.
One scary texting story is about a girl who kept getting texts from an unknown number. The texts said things like 'I'm watching you'. She got really scared and tried to change her number, but the texts still came. Eventually, she found out it was a prank by her so - called friend who thought it would be funny. It was a cruel joke that left her feeling very shaken.
Sure. I was texting with someone who seemed normal at first. But then they started sending really strange and menacing messages like 'You can't hide forever'. I had no idea who this person was or what they meant. I blocked the number in the end, but it still gives me shivers when I think about it. There was just this sense of unknown danger that was really scary.
Once, my friend and I had a 24/7 texting marathon. We started by sending each other silly emojis. Then, I sent a made - up riddle. My friend replied with the most absurd answer ever, like 'The answer is a flying purple elephant!' It made me laugh so hard. We continued with random jokes all day and night, non - stop. It was a really funny texting experience that lasted for days on end.
Well, once there were two guys, Tom and Jerry. Tom texted Jerry saying he found this amazing new coffee place in town. Jerry replied that he'd love to go. They then texted back and forth about their week, and how they were looking forward to spending time together at the coffee place. It was a simple yet sweet texting story of two gay friends sharing their day - to - day life through texts.
There was this guy who received a text that said 'I'm watching you' along with his exact location coordinates. He thought it was a prank at first, but then the texts got more detailed about his daily routine. He got really frightened and had to involve the police. They found out it was a stalker who had hacked into some of his apps to get his information.
Effective scary texting stories often have an air of unpredictability. You don't expect the next text to say what it does. For example, you might get a normal - looking text about the weather, but then the next one says 'The storm is coming for you'. It also helps if there is a sense of isolation in the story. The person receiving the texts feels like they are alone in dealing with this strange and scary situation. And if there is a build - up in the texts, starting from something mildly strange to something extremely terrifying, it can really draw the reader in and make them feel the fear.
Texts that build suspense. For instance, if the texts start with something small like 'There's something in your attic' and then keep sending more details gradually like 'It's getting closer to your bedroom door', it slowly builds up the horror in your mind. You start to imagine all sorts of terrifying things, and that's what makes a horror texting story truly scary.
The anonymity. Not knowing who was sending those creepy texts was the scariest part.
Once, I got a text from an unknown number. It just said 'I'm watching you'. I looked around my room but saw nothing. Then more texts came, 'I know what you did last night.' I was so freaked out because I had no idea what it was referring to. I blocked the number but still felt uneasy for days.
Once, the wife texted the husband, 'Honey, I just saw a huge spider in the bathroom!' The husband replied, 'Don't worry, I'll be home soon to deal with it.' But then the wife sent another text, 'Never mind, I just made friends with it. His name is Jeff.'
