two swntence horror stories

This is a really scary one: I looked in the mirror and saw someone behind me. But when I turned around, no one was there. And then I heard a laugh right next to my ear.

Sure. Here's one: I woke up to a strange noise. When I turned on the light, a shadowy figure was standing at the foot of my bed.

Another really scary one could be 'My phone rang at 3 am. The caller ID said it was me.' It plays on the idea of the self being something other or unknown, and calls at that time are always spooky.

Story 1: I woke up to a cold hand on my face. When I turned on the light, no one was there.

Not that I'm aware of. Usually, there's just one main series of American Horror Stories.

They are concise. For example, 'The phone rang in the dead of night. It was my voice on the other end asking for help.' In just two sentences, it creates a sense of dread. They often rely on the unexpected. Like 'I found a door in my basement that wasn't there before. When I opened it, a cold hand grabbed mine.' It takes a normal situation and twists it into something terrifying.

I think 'The clock stopped at midnight. Then I heard footsteps.' is quite scary. It gives this feeling of something ominous starting right at a spooky time.

Here's another: 'The old doll in the attic blinked. I ran out and never went back.' This creates a sense of unease with the simple and unexpected actions. The blinking of the doll, which is an inanimate object, is very creepy.

One story could be: 'I woke up to a strange noise in the attic. When I went to check, a pair of glowing eyes stared back at me.'

The man entered the dark forest. Out of nowhere, a howl pierced the air and he saw pairs of glowing eyes closing in on him.
