One story could be about an old, abandoned house. A family moved in despite the warnings. On the first floor, they would hear strange scratching noises at night. As they explored, they found a hidden basement door. In the basement, there was a dark figure that seemed to disappear when they turned on the light. Another story is of a hotel. A traveler checked into a room on the second floor. At night, he saw a woman in an old - fashioned dress in the hallway mirror. But when he turned around, no one was there. Every time he looked in the mirror, she got closer until he ran out of the hotel in fear.
Story 1: I woke up to a cold hand on my face. When I turned on the light, no one was there.
Here's another: 'The old doll in the attic blinked. I ran out and never went back.' This creates a sense of unease with the simple and unexpected actions. The blinking of the doll, which is an inanimate object, is very creepy.
One story could be: 'I woke up to a strange noise in the attic. When I went to check, a pair of glowing eyes stared back at me.'
Sentence 1: I woke up in the middle of the night to a strange scratching at my window. Sentence 2: When I finally summoned the courage to look, there was a shadowy figure with no face staring back at me.
I heard a baby crying in the attic. When I went up, I saw my old doll with a knife in its hand.
I woke up to find a handprint on my window. It was on the inside.
I opened the attic door. A pair of glowing eyes stared back at me from the darkness.
The mirror showed my reflection. Then it smiled without me.
One from the list could be 'I woke up to find a handprint on my window. I live on the 13th floor.' Another might be 'The old doll in the attic blinked. It was facing the wall before.'
One story could be 'I heard a scratching at my window. When I opened my eyes, a pale face stared back at me.'
