A disembodied voice that calls out the character's name in a raspy, inhuman tone. An old well that gives off a sense of dread and when you look down, you can see a faint, glowing light deep within. Also, a blood - stained handprint that keeps reappearing on different surfaces.
One creepy thing could be a haunted doll that moves on its own. Another could be strange noises coming from an old attic, like scratching or whispering. And a dark figure that always appears at the corner of one's vision but disappears when looked at directly.
No, it isn't. 'Things Heard and Seen' is purely a work of fiction. The plot and characters are imagined by the writers and not based on real events or people.
My answer was wrong. I have confused the origin of the word 'novel' with the description in Zhuangzi's Foreign Matter.
The word "novel" was first seen in "Zhou Li·Xia Guan·Zhi Fang","The remote places of the Eight Wastelands can be regarded as novels". However, different scholars have different views on the origin and meaning of the word "novel".
One view was that the term "novel" referred to a kind of literary work that mainly consisted of stories, which originated from ancient novels such as "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" and "The Scholars."
Another view is that the original meaning of the word "novel" refers to the myths and legendary characters in ancient legends. Later, it gradually evolved into literary works such as Zuo Zhuan and Shi Ji.
Therefore, no matter which perspective it was, it could prove that the word "novel" already existed in ancient times.
The visual presentation while TerryTV is reading the creepy stories could be a big draw. Maybe there are some simple yet effective animations or just the right kind of background images that set the mood. It's like when you're reading a horror book and you can almost picture the scenes in your head, but here it's enhanced by whatever TerryTV is showing on the screen.
One thing to avoid is overly dark and disturbing interpretations of the cute pony characters. For example, giving them extremely violent or abnormal behaviors that go against the original show's family - friendly nature. Also, any form of inappropriate or non - consensual relationships should be avoided as it is not in line with the positive spirit of the My Little Pony franchise.
One example is a creaking staircase in an old, empty mansion. You walk up it, and each step makes a noise as if something is following you. Another is a mirror that shows a strange reflection that isn't there when you look again.
