Sure. 'The Vanishing Hitchhiker' is a well - known one. A driver picks up a hitchhiker on a lonely road. The hitchhiker gives an address but when they arrive, she has vanished from the car. The driver goes to the house and finds out that the girl had died years ago. It's a simple yet spooky story that makes you think about the supernatural. It's often told around campfires to give people that eerie feeling.

The characters in these stories can be very scary too. Take the vengeful spirits in some tales. They often have a tragic backstory that led them to become malevolent. For instance, a ghost who was wronged in life and now seeks revenge on the living. Their appearance is usually described in a way that's disturbing. A pale face, empty eyes, and a slow, eerie movement. And the fact that they seem to be able to appear and disappear at will adds to the scariness. They can be right behind you without you even knowing until it's too late.
