I heard a baby crying in the basement. I live alone.
I found a diary in the basement. The last entry said 'They're coming for me tonight' and the date was yesterday.
I woke up to find a handprint on the window, but I live on the 13th floor.
Walking in the forest, I saw a figure. It had my face but no eyes.
A memorable one is 'I can't sleep at night because I keep hearing my name being whispered in my ear, but there's no one there.' It gives that feeling of being haunted and makes you shiver at the thought of an unseen presence that knows your name.
There was a picture of a deserted amusement park at night. The Ferris wheel was still, but in the photo, there seemed to be a figure sitting in one of the carts that was not supposed to be there. People who looked at it for too long felt a sense of dread, as if they were being watched by the unknown figure.
Another one might be 'The old doll in the attic blinked. I'm sure it did.' This simple line creates a sense of unease as dolls are often associated with the uncanny. The idea of an inanimate object like a doll showing signs of life is quite terrifying.
The power went out. I lit a candle and saw a face in the window. It was my own reflection, but I was standing across the room.
I opened the old diary. The last entry was written in my own handwriting.
One horror creepy story is about a haunted house. There was an old, dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of town. People said that at midnight, you could see a shadowy figure in the attic window. A group of teenagers once dared to enter. As they walked through the creaking hallways, they heard strange whispers. Suddenly, one of them felt a cold hand on their shoulder, but when they turned around, there was nothing there. They ran out in terror and never went back.
One could be 'The last person on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door.' It's terrifying as it makes you wonder what could be knocking when there's supposed to be no one else left.
