Can you recommend some freaky short horror stories?

Sure. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is a rather freaky short story. It's about a woman who slowly descends into madness while being confined in a room with yellow wallpaper. Another one is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator's obsession with an old man's vulture - like eye and his subsequent actions are quite freaky.

There's a story of a shadowy figure in an old, abandoned house. A traveler seeking shelter for the night entered the decrepit building. As he tried to sleep, he saw a dark shape that seemed to glide across the walls. It made no sound but left a cold chill in the air. He felt as if it was watching him, and when he finally mustered the courage to run out of the house at dawn, he could swear he heard a faint, eerie laugh behind him.

There was a man who was driving alone on a deserted road at night. Suddenly, he saw a figure in white standing in the middle of the road. As he got closer, the figure disappeared. But then his car started to act strangely, the radio kept switching channels on its own and the engine made a sputtering sound. He was so scared that he drove as fast as he could to get away.

Sure. There was a girl who moved into an old house. One night, she heard strange scratching at her door. When she opened it, there was nothing but a cold wind. The next day, she found long, claw - like marks on the door.

There was a story of a girl who received a doll that looked really old and creepy. Every night, she would wake up to find the doll in a different position. One day, she heard strange whispers coming from the doll, as if it was alive and trying to communicate something evil.

The suspense. In freaky short horror stories, the writers build up the tension quickly. For example, in 'The Tell - Tale Heart', the narrator's increasing paranoia keeps the reader on edge. Also, they often play with the unknown. Our fear of the unknown is exploited, like in 'The Yellow Wallpaper' where the woman's descent into madness is surrounded by the mystery of the wallpaper.

Since I don't have the details of the '4 freaky true camping horror stories', I can only speculate on what might be in them. In camping horror stories, there could be situations where campers are stalked by an unseen entity. They might notice things like footprints around their tent that are not their own in the morning. There could also be a sense of being watched all the time, and every little sound in the forest makes them jump. Some stories might involve campers finding strange symbols carved on trees near their campsite, which adds to the overall sense of dread and mystery.

Sure. There was a story about a old house that was said to be haunted. People often heard strange noises at night, like footsteps and whispering. One night, a brave man decided to stay there. He saw a shadowy figure moving in the corridor. He was so scared that he ran out immediately.

Sure. One might be 'The Haunting of Blackwood Manor' which was quite popular in 2018 horror short stories. It had a really creepy atmosphere with a haunted house setting and strange noises in the night.

One short horror story could be 'The Bus Stop'. A woman waits at a lonely bus stop late at night. Every time a bus comes, the driver just shakes his head and drives on. Finally, an old bus arrives and the door opens. Inside, she sees all the passengers are pale and motionless, and as she steps in, the bus drives into the darkness.
