I was alone in the old house. I heard a whisper in my ear and felt my skin crawl.
In the attic, I saw a shadow move on its own. That's when I felt my skin crawl.
Walking in the cemetery at night, a cold hand touched my shoulder. I felt my skin crawl.
I was staying in a cheap motel. As I lay in bed, I felt something crawl under the covers. I felt my skin crawl as I jumped out of the bed in horror.
The old house was silent. Then I saw a shadow with no face at the end of the hall.

Unexpected and sudden movements or appearances can cause that skin - crawling feeling. Imagine you're in a dark alley and suddenly a figure darts across your path. Your body's natural reaction is to be on high alert, and that often comes with that uncomfortable feeling of your skin crawling. It's like your body's way of telling you that something isn't right.
Once, I was alone in an old, creaky house. As I walked through the dimly lit hallway, I heard strange scratching noises from the attic. My skin began to crawl. When I slowly opened the attic door, a cold gust of wind hit me. There, in the corner, I saw a pair of glowing eyes. I froze in fear, not knowing what it could be. It was the most terrifying moment of my life.
The feeling of confinement is terrifying. Crawl spaces are small and cramped. It gives a sense of being trapped. If something bad is in there with you, there's not much room to escape. Imagine being in a tight space with an unknown horror just inches away.
In a small town, there was a dilapidated house with a crawl space. A group of teenagers, feeling adventurous, decided to explore it. As they entered, it was freezing cold and smelled of decay.

He suddenly felt a hand on his ankle, but when he looked down, there was nothing there. They all quickly fled the crawl space, spooked out of their minds.
One 'Nu Skin horror story' could be about people being pressured into buying large amounts of their products. Some distributors might push individuals to over - invest in inventory, thinking they'll be able to sell it all easily. But then they end up with a lot of unsold products and financial losses.
Another really scary one could be 'My phone rang at 3 am. The caller ID said it was me.' It plays on the idea of the self being something other or unknown, and calls at that time are always spooky.
Just use a really strong sentence starter like 'A blood - curdling scream echoed through the forest...'. This will make the reader want to know who screamed and why. It creates instant intrigue.
