I woke up to a hand on my face, but I live alone.
I woke up in the middle of the night to see a figure at the foot of my bed, but when I turned on the light, it was still there.
Walking in the forest, I heard a strange howl. Then I saw a pair of glowing red eyes in the bushes.
She always heard whispers in the attic. One day, she went up there and the whispers stopped forever.
A different one could be 'The picture on the wall changed. It showed my gravestone.'

One really scary story is about a haunted house. There was an old, dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of town. People who passed by at night often heard strange wailing sounds coming from it. A group of curious teenagers decided to explore it one night. As they entered, the doors slammed shut behind them. They saw shadowy figures moving in the halls. One of the teens was suddenly pulled into a dark room and disappeared. The others ran for their lives, but they could still hear their friend's screams as they escaped.
I woke up to find a handprint on the window, but I live on the 15th floor.
