Late at night, I was home alone. I was about to go to bed when I heard a scratching noise at the window. I thought it was just a branch, but when I looked, there was a pale hand with long, sharp nails. I backed away slowly. Then, the power went out. In the darkness, I could hear heavy breathing getting closer. I hid under my bed, hoping whatever it was would go away. But then, I felt a cold hand grab my ankle.
There was an old, abandoned house at the end of my street. One day, on a dare, I decided to go inside. As I stepped through the creaky front door, a chill ran down my spine. The air was thick with dust and an unidentifiable smell. I heard strange whispers as I walked up the stairs. In one of the rooms, I saw a rocking chair moving on its own. Terrified, I tried to run, but the door slammed shut behind me. I was trapped with whatever haunted this place.
One night, I was walking alone in the forest. The moon was hidden by the thick clouds, and the only sound was the wind whistling through the trees. Suddenly, I heard a low growl behind me. I turned around, but saw nothing. As I quickened my pace, the growling grew louder. I started to run, my heart pounding in my chest. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a pair of red eyes following me. I knew I had to get out of the forest alive.
Late at night, I was driving on a lonely road. Fog was starting to roll in. My radio started to act up, making strange noises. Up ahead, I saw a figure standing in the middle of the road. I slammed on the brakes. As the fog cleared a bit, I could see it was a woman in a white dress, but she had no face. She started walking towards my car and I quickly reversed and sped away, my heart pounding in my chest.
I was home alone one night. I heard a strange knocking on the door. I looked through the peephole but saw nothing. The knocking continued. I decided to open the door. There was no one there. But then, I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw a pair of red eyes in the darkness.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily who got lost in a scary forest. The trees were tall and gnarled, their branches like twisted arms reaching out. The forest was filled with an eerie silence, broken only by the occasional hoot of an owl. Lily walked nervously, her heart pounding. Suddenly, she heard a low growl from the bushes. She froze, too scared to move. After what felt like an eternity, she mustered the courage to run. She ran until she saw a faint light at the end of the forest, which she hoped was the way out.
I went camping in the forest. At night, while sitting by the campfire, I heard howls that didn't sound like any normal animal. I decided to go to my tent. But as I walked, I felt like something was following me. I turned around and saw a dark shape moving between the trees. I ran to my tent and zipped it up. But then I heard scratching on the outside of the tent all night long.
A young woman walked into a circus tent. The only performer was a clown. His grin was too wide. He started to juggle, but the balls were old, dirty skulls. His eyes never left her. As he moved closer, she smelled decay. Suddenly, his face twisted into a snarl. She ran out, hearing his maniacal laughter behind her.
