The mirror showed my reflection smiling, while I was crying.
I heard my name whispered in the empty house. No one was there.
The last person on earth sat alone in a room. Then there was a knock at the door.
Sure. 'I started with a simple idea, worked hard every day, and now I own a successful business.'
In the old cemetery, a voice said, 'Leave now.' But there was no one there. Just the ghosts.
There was a knock on the door. I opened it, but no one was there. Then I felt a cold hand on my shoulder.
It's the sudden shock. For example, 'The last page of the diary read: Tomorrow I kill myself' gives a quick jolt of horror.
Here's one: 'The old doll's eyes follow me around the room.' Dolls are often associated with unease in horror. The idea that the doll's eyes can move and follow you creates a feeling of being watched. It taps into the fear of the inanimate coming to life and having an awareness, which is a common and disturbing horror trope.
Sure. Here's one: I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough.
Sure. Here is one: I woke up to a hand on my face. When I turned on the light, there was no one there.
Walking in the forest, I heard a whisper calling my name. No one was there.
Sure. A 'one picture horror story' could be a picture of a doll sitting alone in a dimly lit attic. The doll has one eye missing and its hair is all tangled, giving an eerie feeling. Also, a photo of a boat adrift in the middle of a fog - covered ocean. There's no sign of life on the boat, but there are strange scratches on the side as if something was trying to get in. Additionally, a picture of an old classroom with all the desks and chairs overturned and a single chalk mark on the blackboard in the shape of a handprint can be really spooky.
