There was a haunted house on the outskirts of town. People said that at midnight, you could see a shadowy figure in the attic window. One night, a curious teenager decided to explore. As he entered the creaky old house, the door slammed shut behind him. He heard strange whispers and the sound of footsteps on the stairs. His heart pounded as he saw the figure slowly descending towards him. He ran towards the door but it was locked. Just when he thought all was lost, he found a small window and managed to squeeze through, vowing never to return to that terrifying place again.
Sure. There's the story of the Bloody Mary. Legend has it that if you go into a bathroom with the lights off, light a candle, and say 'Bloody Mary' three times while looking into the mirror, a ghostly figure will appear. It's said she was a witch who was killed in a very brutal way and now haunts those who summon her.
The fact that it starts with a simple 'something was wrong' implies that there is an underlying issue that is not immediately clear. This hooks the reader's or listener's attention and makes them curious. As the story progresses and more details are revealed about how wrong things are, it plays on our natural fear of the unexpected and the uncontrollable. In these stories, the characters are often in a state of helplessness as they try to figure out what is going on, which is a very scary feeling for the audience to empathize with.
If you want to try a funny joke, this fairy can recommend you "Train My Evil Eye Shikigami". In this fantasy romance novel, the protagonist Yang Ruoshui has to face all kinds of ghosts every day, and her shikigami not only cooks and does clothes for her, but also forces her to catch ghosts. It makes her quite anxious and helpless, but there are still quite a lot of funny elements in it. If you prefer scary ghost stories, you can check out "Eighteen Years of Ghost Hunting, I've Entered a Thriller Game." The main character of this science-fiction-time-travel novel, Lin Chen, is a professional ghost hunter. However, he suddenly receives an invitation letter for a horror game. This game is full of ghosts and monsters, full of all kinds of fear and thrills. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
In the 'Something was wrong' scary story, there's often a feeling of things being not quite right. It could be about a person who moves into a new place. At first, everything seems normal, but then they start to experience glitches in their electronics. Lights flicker randomly, and their phone makes strange calls on its own. The character tries to find rational explanations, but as more and more unexplainable things happen, like seeing shadowy figures out of the corner of their eye, the horror sets in.
