Here is a really spooky one. 'The mirror showed a different room. A figure emerged from that room in the mirror.' Mirrors are often used in horror because they can create a sense of another world or dimension. The thought of a figure coming out of a different room shown in the mirror is both strange and scary.
Another great 'two sentences scary stories' is 'I found a book with no title. When I opened it, I heard screams from the pages.' The idea of a book without a title is already a bit strange, and then hearing screams from it is terrifying. It plays on the unknown nature of what could be in the book. It makes you wonder what kind of dark secrets or forces are trapped within those pages.
A good one is 'The doll's eyes followed me. Then it smiled.' Dolls can be really creepy, and the thought of its eyes following and then it smiling is quite unnerving.
I was home alone. When I looked in the mirror, there was someone else's face staring back at me.
I opened the attic door. A figure in white rushed towards me. I slammed the door shut, heart pounding.
A story I like is about a vampire who was allergic to garlic. One day, he went to a restaurant not knowing they served garlic bread. When the smell hit him, his fangs started to itch. He tried to be cool about it but ended up sneezing all over the place. It was a funny and spooky scene.
One night, I woke up to see a figure at the foot of my bed. It smiled. I couldn't move.
Walking in the forest, a hand touched my shoulder. No one was there when I turned around.
One more for you. 'She walked into the empty basement. A strange whisper told her she would never leave.' The basement is often a place associated with the unknown and danger in horror stories. The sudden whisper indicating that she's trapped is very scary.
I know a story of a girl with a birthmark on her face. She was bullied at school for it. But she learned martial arts and became so confident that she no longer cared about the mean comments. She held her head high and showed her face bravely. Another is a story of a man who lost his nose in an accident. He got a prosthetic nose and became an advocate for people with facial differences, sharing his story and inspiring others to face the world with confidence.
The phone rang at 3 am. When I answered, all I heard was heavy breathing and then it said my name.
I felt a presence in the basement. As I descended the stairs, the door slammed shut behind me.
He was sitting alone at the park bench. She sat beside him, and in that instant, a connection sparked, like two lost souls finally finding each other. It was a moment of pure, unspoken understanding that often marks the beginning of love.
