Tell me a short scary ghost story.

There was a young girl who moved into an old house. One night, she heard strange scratching noises coming from the attic. When she went to investigate, she saw a faint white figure. She screamed and ran back to her room. But then, the door slowly creaked open, and a cold breeze swept through. She hid under the covers, but she could feel the presence getting closer and closer. Finally, she fainted. When she woke up in the morning, she was still alone in the house, but she could never forget that terrifying night.

I once heard about a family that moved into a new house. One night, the little boy woke up to see a shadowy figure by his bedside. It just stood there, watching him. He was too scared to move and when he finally blinked, it was gone.

Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a cemetery that no one liked to visit at night. A traveler named Tom got lost and ended up near the cemetery. He decided to take shelter there until morning. As he sat down, he noticed a strange mist rising. Out of the mist, a ghostly figure of an old man emerged. The old man had a sad look on his face and seemed to be searching for something. Tom was so scared that he couldn't move. The ghostly old man came closer and closer, and then suddenly disappeared. Tom quickly found his way out of there and left the village as soon as he could.

Once upon a time, in an old, abandoned mansion, there was a young girl who heard strange noises at night. She saw a white figure floating in the hallway. It was a ghost of a woman who had died there long ago. Every night, the girl would feel a cold breeze as the ghost passed by her room. She was so scared that she couldn't sleep. One night, she finally mustered up the courage to run out of the mansion and never returned.

There was a motel by the side of a desolate highway. A traveler checked in late at night. As he was about to sleep, he heard a faint sobbing. He thought it was his imagination at first. But then the sobbing grew louder. He got up to look around and saw a woman in a tattered dress standing in the corner of the room. Her face was pale and her eyes were hollow. He screamed and fled the motel, leaving all his belongings behind.

In a small village, there was an old well. Legend had it that a young girl had drowned in it many years ago. One day, a little boy named Timmy dropped his ball into the well. When he peered down to look for it, he saw a face looking back at him. It was the ghost of the drowned girl. She reached out her hand as if asking for help. Timmy screamed and ran to his mother, leaving the ball behind.

In an old cemetery, there was a particular grave that always gave off an eerie feeling. A man named Tom, who worked as a caretaker there, often noticed strange things around it. One foggy night, he saw a faint glow above the grave. As he walked closer, he heard a woman's voice sobbing. When he reached the spot, he saw a translucent figure of a woman in a white dress. He was so terrified that he dropped his lantern and ran all the way home.

There was a haunted forest where a ghost was rumored to lurk. The ghost was that of a hunter who got lost and died in the forest long ago. His apparition would appear in the form of a misty figure. One night, a group of hikers decided to camp in the forest. As they were sitting around the campfire, they heard the sound of a gunshot and a man's scream. Then, they saw the ghostly figure of the hunter emerge from the trees. They were so scared that they ran out of the forest without looking back.

In a haunted - looking mansion, a visitor saw a shadow moving across the wall. After a moment of fear, they discovered it was a cat that had slipped in through an open window and its movement in the candlelight had made the shadow seem spooky.

A hiker got lost in the forest. As night fell, he found an old cabin. Inside, it was freezing. He lit a fire and tried to sleep. But he kept hearing strange scratching noises on the door. When he opened it, a misty figure rushed past him. He never went back to that forest again.
