What is a short true horror story that will give you chills?

There's a tale of a man who keeps seeing a shadowy figure following him wherever he goes, but no one else can see it. Spooky, right?

For me, 'The Shining' by Stephen King is one that gives a lot of chills. The isolated hotel setting and the slow descent into madness of the main character are really spooky. Another is 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty. The idea of demonic possession is always a terrifying concept. And 'Rosemary's Baby' by Ira Levin is also quite scary with its satanic undertones.

One real nosleep story is about a haunted house. A family moved in and strange things started to happen. Doors would open and close on their own, cold spots were everywhere. At night, they could hear whispers that seemed to come from nowhere. It was really terrifying.

I'm pretty sure 'Full Body Chills' isn't a true story. It's probably just a fictional concept designed to give you chills and thrills without being based on actual happenings.

Well, there's a story where a hospital had an old CT scanner. One day, a young girl was sent for a scan. As the scan was in progress, the girl claimed she saw a shadowy figure moving inside the scanner with her. She screamed and the technicians had to stop the scan. Later, when they checked the machine, there was no sign of any malfunction or anything that could explain what the girl saw. It's really spooky.

One great 'chills horror story' is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who is driven mad by the old man's vulture - like eye and ultimately commits murder. The increasing paranoia and the sound of the still - beating heart in the end are truly chilling.

A man once visited an old, abandoned asylum. As soon as he entered one of the wards, he got full body chills. He could swear he heard faint screams and moans. Another instance was a woman who was at a cemetery at night. She suddenly had full body chills and saw a strange glow near one of the tombstones.

A girl I knew was house - sitting. At night, she felt a cold hand touch her shoulder while she was reading on the couch. There was no one else in the house. She immediately packed her things and left. Just thinking about it gives me chills.

First, create a really creepy setting. For example, an old, abandoned mansion with creaking floors and broken windows. Then, develop an unnerving character, like a figure that seems normal at first but has a very dark secret. Suspense is key, so don't reveal everything at once.

A Jawa caravan was exploring a new dune - covered moon. At night, a huge sand - worm - like creature emerged. It was not like the normal krayt dragons. It was translucent and glowed with an eerie light. It devoured the Jawas one by one, their screams lost in the vast deserts.
