Well, in a lot of creepy new house stories, there are often items that move on their own. For example, a vase that suddenly falls off the table without any obvious reason. Also, there can be a sense of being watched. The people in the house feel as if there are eyes on them all the time. And sometimes, there are historical events or tragedies associated with the house. Maybe someone died there in a bad way or there was some sort of mystery in the past, and it seems to be haunting the present occupants.
Strange odors can be a common element in these stories. It could be a musty smell that doesn't go away even after cleaning, or a strange sweet or rotten smell that has no source. Another thing is that electronics might act up. Lights might flicker for no reason or TVs turn on and off by themselves. And then there are the dreams. People often have really vivid and disturbing dreams when they move into a new house that seems to be haunted, like dreams of being chased by something they can't see or seeing the same shadowy figure that they thought they saw in real life.
One common element is strange noises. Like in many stories, people hear unexplained creaking, banging, or whispering sounds at night. Another element is the presence of unexplained cold spots. It's often described as a sudden chill that doesn't seem to have a normal cause, like a draft. And apparitions or shadowy figures are also common. People claim to see something that looks like a person but is not quite there, which gives a really spooky feeling.

One creepy new house story is about a family who moved into an old Victorian house. At night, they would hear strange scratching noises coming from the attic. When they finally mustered the courage to check, they found deep claw marks on the floorboards but no sign of any animal. It was really spooky.
In many creepy teacher stories, there is a lack of respect for personal boundaries. Teachers might touch students inappropriately on the shoulder or hair. There can also be a sense of the teacher having a hidden agenda. For instance, a teacher who seems more interested in a student's family life than their academic progress. And sometimes, the teacher's appearance can contribute, like always wearing dirty or strange clothes and having an unkempt look that just adds to the overall creepiness.
One common element is the element of lurking. Like in many stories, the creepy man is often seen hiding in the shadows or just being in places where he doesn't seem to belong, like the park at night in my previous story.
The unknown is a really scary element. In haunted house stories, you often don't know what's making the noises or causing the strange happenings. For example, in a story where there are unexplained footsteps in an empty hallway, not knowing who or what is creating those steps is terrifying.
In many 'kids being creepy stories', there's often a connection to the supernatural. The kids seem to be in touch with something otherworldly. This could be seeing ghosts or spirits. Also, a change in their normal routine or personality is common. A usually happy child becoming withdrawn and then doing creepy things. And there can be an element of isolation, where the kid seems to be in their own little world that others can't understand.
One common element is inappropriate physical contact. Like a teacher who might touch a student's hair or hand without a proper reason.

Well, a lot of these stories have the element of mystery surrounding the old lady. Maybe she has a past that no one really knows about, like she was involved in some dark magic or a tragic event long ago. Her voice can also be a factor. It could be raspy or whispery, which adds to the creepiness. And often, there are animals associated with her, like a black cat that always follows her around, making her seem even more eerie.
Well, in many creepy first date stories, the person might seem to have an ulterior motive. Maybe they're just looking for a way to get something from the other person, like money or a place to stay. Another common thing is the appearance of the date being a bit too extreme or odd. It could be their clothing style, like wearing something really out of place or inappropriate for a first date. And there's also the atmosphere that they create, which could be very tense or uncomfortable because of their actions or words.
