funny short scary stories

A group of friends decided to camp in the woods. At night, they heard a loud growling. They were all terrified. One of them bravely got out of the tent with a flashlight. There, they saw a'strange beast'. It was actually a small dog with a very deep bark. The dog had wandered away from its owner's campsite nearby. The friends couldn't stop laughing at how scared they had been.

A young boy was home alone and heard the doorknob rattle. He was scared out of his wits thinking it was a burglar. But when he finally got the courage to peek, it was his own dog who had accidentally bumped into the door while chasing a ball. It's a simple yet effective short, funny, and scary story.

One characteristic is that they are concise. Since they are short, they need to quickly grab your attention with the scary part. And then they immediately turn it around to be funny. They might use over - the - top or unexpected elements too. For example, a monster that is actually afraid of mice. This kind of unexpectedness is key in these stories.

The story of the 'Scary Shadow'. A little boy was in his room at night. He saw a huge, menacing shadow on the wall. He was so scared that he hid under the covers. But then his mother came in with a flashlight. It was just his teddy bear's shadow made huge by the angle of the lamp. The boy laughed and hugged his teddy.

A story I like is about a vampire who was allergic to garlic. One day, he went to a restaurant not knowing they served garlic bread. When the smell hit him, his fangs started to itch. He tried to be cool about it but ended up sneezing all over the place. It was a funny and spooky scene.

Sure. There was a story about a haunted house. A family moved in and strange things started to happen. The TV would turn on by itself showing only static. But then, the family's cat started to chase an invisible mouse around the room. It was scary because of the haunted stuff but also funny seeing the cat so determined.

There was a student who stayed late in the school library. As he was reading, he noticed a figure in the corner of his eye. It was a girl in an old - fashioned dress. She seemed to be floating. He was terrified but then he blinked and she disappeared. Later, he found out from the librarian that there were rumors of a girl who died in the library long ago and her spirit sometimes showed up. But he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination or something truly supernatural.

There was a girl who visited an old, supposedly haunted library. As she walked through the aisles, she heard a soft whisper. She froze in fear. But as she mustered the courage to follow the sound, she found it was just an old recording device that had been left on by mistake, playing an old audio book.

Sure. Here's one. A man was staying alone in an old house. One night, he heard a strange scratching at the window. When he looked, he saw a pair of red eyes. But when he opened the window, it was just a cat with a flashlight in its mouth. The neighbor's kid had been playing a prank.

A group of friends decided to have a sleepover in a supposedly haunted house. In the middle of the night, they heard a loud moan. They all huddled together in fear. Then one of them bravely went to investigate. They found a cat stuck in a small space making the noise. The cat looked so grumpy that it was both scary in the moment and hilarious when they realized what it was.
