3 line scary stories

There might be a story of a cursed object. A girl found an old locket in an antique store. After she put it on, she started having nightmares of a shadowy figure. Everywhere she went, she felt a cold presence. She finally threw the locket into a river, and the nightmares stopped.

Walking in the forest, I heard a whisper behind me. I turned, but saw only trees. Then the whisper came again, closer.

One: The old house creaked. I turned, and a shadowy figure stared from the corner. Another: Alone in the forest, a whisper said my name. I ran, but it followed in the wind.

One common theme could be the unknown. Many of the stories likely play on the fear of not knowing what is lurking in the shadows or what will happen next. For example, a story might have a character in a strange place and they hear noises but don't know what's making them.

A girl heard a whisper in the attic. She went up. Silence.

I heard a knock at the door. I opened it, but no one was there, yet the knocking continued.

I opened the cellar door. Red eyes glowed in the darkness. I quickly shut it.

The old house creaked. I turned around. A shadow with no face stared back.

A man woke up in a cold room. The door was locked. A handprint slowly appeared on the window.

The unknown. Like in 'I saw a shadow move, but no one was there.' The not knowing what the shadow is really scares people.
