One more example is: I saw a figure in the mirror. When I turned around, it was still there but no reflection.
Here is one: I woke up in the middle of the night. When I turned on the light, I saw a figure at the foot of my bed. Another one: I heard a baby crying from the attic. I climbed up only to find a doll with a blood - stained dress.
I woke up to find a handprint on the window that wasn't mine. It was small, like a child's, but I live alone.
Example 1: I woke up in the middle of the night. There was a figure at the foot of my bed, smiling with no eyes. Example 2: She heard a knock on the door. When she opened it, there was only a bloody handprint on the doorknob.
One could be 'I entered the abandoned asylum. A cold hand grabbed my ankle.' Another is 'She thought she was alone. But the eyes in the mirror said otherwise.' These short horror stories create a sense of dread quickly with just two sentences.
The old house creaked. I heard a whisper. Then a cold hand touched my shoulder.
Here are some: 'All teeth, no gums.' 'Bedroom, not alone.' 'Footsteps in attic.'
One example is when the executor named in the will has a personal vendetta against some of the beneficiaries. They might use their power to delay the probate process intentionally, causing financial hardship to the heirs. For example, they could withhold information about the estate's assets or drag their feet on selling properties. Another example is when a will is handwritten and not witnessed properly. This can lead to the will being challenged in court and declared invalid. Then the estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which might not be what the deceased intended.
The mirror showed my reflection smiling, while I was crying.
One: 'Bedroom door creaks.' Just three words but it gives a sense of unease. You're in bed, it's dark, and that small sound can make your heart race, imagining something unknown on the other side of the door.
One black friend horror story could be about a group of friends exploring an abandoned house. They heard strange noises and saw shadowy figures. My black friend was the first to be seemingly targeted by an unseen force. He felt a cold hand on his shoulder in a room where they were sure no one else was. It was a terrifying experience for them all.
