a scary night short story

One night, I was walking alone in the forest. The moon was hidden behind the thick clouds, and the only sound was the howling of the wind. Suddenly, I heard a strange noise, like something was dragging on the ground. I froze in fear. Then, I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. I ran as fast as I could, not daring to look back, until I reached my home and slammed the door shut.

A good scary night short story usually has a creepy setting, unexpected twists, and characters that you can relate to but also fear for.

A scary night story? Well, Tom was camping in the mountains. At night, he heard a loud roar. He thought it was a bear at first. He sat up in his tent, his heart pounding. Then, he saw a strange mist seeping into his tent. It had a foul smell. As the mist thickened, he could make out shapes in it, like distorted faces. He grabbed his backpack and ran out of the tent, not stopping until he reached the nearest ranger station.

Well, it could involve strange noises outside, a creepy shadow in the corner, or maybe a power outage that adds to the spookiness.

There was a traveler who got lost in the woods at night. As he walked, he noticed a faint light in the distance. He followed it, only to find an old, dilapidated cabin. When he entered, the door slammed shut behind him. He heard whispers and then saw shadowy figures moving around him. He was trapped there all night, in fear for his life. The night was filled with the unknown and the sense of impending doom.

One such story is 'The Haunted Mirror'. A girl bought an old mirror at a thrift store. Every night, she would see a faint figure in the mirror that seemed to be getting closer. One day, she noticed scratch marks on the mirror from the inside. Terrified, she threw the mirror out, but that night, she saw the figure standing at the foot of her bed.

There was a family staying in an old, creaky house for the night. In the middle of the night, the youngest son woke up. He heard strange scratching noises coming from the attic. He was too scared to go back to sleep. As he lay there, the noises grew louder. He decided to wake his older brother. Together, they went to the attic with a flashlight. When they opened the attic door, a cold draft blew past them. In the dim light, they saw a pair of glowing eyes. They quickly shut the door and ran back to their rooms, not daring to look back.

There was a small village near a forest. At night, the villagers always locked their doors tight because of the wolf. One night, a young girl, who didn't believe in the wolf stories, sneaked out. In the forest, it was pitch - black. As she walked, she heard a strange rustling. Then, a huge wolf appeared. Its fur was matted and it looked starved. It started chasing her. She ran as fast as she could, screaming for help. The wolf was right behind her, snapping at her heels until she reached a tree and climbed it. The wolf circled the tree all night, growling menacingly.

One late night, I was waiting for a delivery. When the doorbell finally rang, I opened the door to find no one there, but a strange, cold wind blew in. As I looked down, there was a package covered in what looked like blood - stains. I quickly shut the door and called the delivery company, but they said no such package was sent. It was truly terrifying.

The sound of the rain hitting the roof could have been the start. It might have masked other scarier sounds, like footsteps of an unknown entity outside. And the darkness that the rain brought, making it hard to see what was lurking in the shadows.
