He was alone in the old house. Then he felt a cold breath on his neck and a whisper that said 'leave'.
I woke up in the middle of the night to a cold hand on my face. When I turned on the light, there was no one there.

Another one: 'My sister texted me she was coming home early. When she arrived, she looked exactly as she did the day she died.' This one gives me chills every time. It could be related to some kind of supernatural experience or just a very strange coincidence that makes it seem so spooky.
It depends on the person. For those who are easily spooked by the unknown and sudden scares, 'Bag Man' can be really terrifying. The two - sentence structure is designed to shock, and it does a good job of that.

The children would often see a shadowy figure in their rooms. One day, they found old, blood - stained letters in the attic that told of a tragic murder that happened in the house long ago.
Some other scary two - sentence stories could be. 'The cemetery at midnight was still. But then the tombstones started to tremble.' 'I was alone in the old library. Suddenly, a book flew off the shelf and landed at my feet.'
