short and scary ghost stories

Yes, they can be. Ghost stories often play on our fears of the unknown, and in this book, they might be especially spooky. The short format allows for quick jolts of fear.

There's 'The Yellow Wallpaper'. It may seem like a story about a woman's descent into madness, but it has a ghostly undertone. Trapped in a room with the hideous yellow wallpaper, she begins to see a figure trapped within it. The story builds tension through her isolation and the sense of a supernatural presence.

There was a story of a little girl who lived in a haunted house. Every night, she would hear a lullaby playing softly, but there was no music box or radio. One night, she followed the sound and saw a ghostly woman sitting in the rocking chair in the attic. The woman turned her head slowly, and her eyes were completely white. The girl screamed and fled back to her room. After that, she never went to the attic alone again. This story shows how the unknown in a haunted place can be truly terrifying.

The story of 'The Ghostly Pianist'. In an old mansion, there was a grand piano. Every midnight, without anyone playing, the piano would start to play a sad, haunting melody. People said it was the ghost of a pianist who had died in that mansion long ago, still trying to finish his last composition.

Here's another one. In an old, empty school, there was a rumor of a ghostly teacher. A group of kids dared each other to stay after school. As it got dark, they heard the sound of chalk on a blackboard. They slowly walked to the classroom where the noise was coming from. Through the window, they saw a shadowy figure writing on the board. When they opened the door, the figure vanished, but they could still feel a cold breeze. Turns out it was the spirit of a teacher who loved the school so much she couldn't leave.

In a haunted - looking mansion, a visitor saw a shadow moving across the wall. After a moment of fear, they discovered it was a cat that had slipped in through an open window and its movement in the candlelight had made the shadow seem spooky.

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.

A hiker got lost in the forest. As night fell, he found an old cabin. Inside, it was freezing. He lit a fire and tried to sleep. But he kept hearing strange scratching noises on the door. When he opened it, a misty figure rushed past him. He never went back to that forest again.

I recommend "A Ghost Story with an Unpredictable Ending" to you. It's a mystery detective novel. The ghost story in this novel was scary and funny. The plot development was also very unexpected, and you wouldn't be able to guess the ending. If you want to see more scary scenes, then try this book! I hope you like my recommendation, Muah ~😗

If you want a horror novel, you can look at "I'm Caught in the Strange" or "The Demon Sealing Heavenly Tactics General." These two books belong to the suspense-mystery suspense genre. There are many strange plots and thrilling scenes that can scare people. However, if you are afraid of horror stories, you can read other types of novels. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation.
