Can you tell me a scary short story?

Once upon a time, I walked alone in an old forest at night. The moon was hidden by the thick clouds. Suddenly, I heard a strange howling. I looked around but saw nothing. As I quickened my pace, I felt a cold breath on my neck. I didn't dare to turn back and just ran as fast as I could, not knowing what was chasing me.

Once upon a time, in an old, dilapidated house at the end of a long, dark lane, there lived a little girl all alone. Every night, she would hear strange scratching noises on her window.

Once upon a time, in an old, abandoned house, a young girl was exploring. As she walked through the dusty halls, she heard a strange scratching noise coming from the attic.

She screamed and ran out of the house, never to return.

There was a boy who always slept with his teddy bear. One night, as he was about to fall asleep, he saw the bear's eyes glow red. It started to move on its own, walking towards the end of the bed. He was too scared to move and watched as the bear disappeared into the darkness of his closet, and he heard eerie laughter from inside.

In a far - away village, there was a haunted well. A young boy was dared by his friends to go near it at night. As he approached the well, he heard a faint whispering. He looked into the well and saw a pale face looking up at him. The face began to rise, as if climbing out of the well. Terrified, the boy ran back home as fast as he could, with the feeling of something chasing him all the way.

There was a scary take on Rapunzel's tale. The witch who kept Rapunzel was actually a powerful necromancer. She used Rapunzel's long hair to perform dark magic rituals. One day, Rapunzel noticed that the hair she cut off was used to create undead creatures. These creatures started to climb the tower using her hair. Rapunzel was horrified. She had to find a way to stop the necromancer and destroy the undead. She managed to set her hair on fire, burning the creatures as they climbed, and then faced the witch in a final showdown.

Terrified, she ran, but the doors had locked themselves. She was never seen again.

There was a hiker who got lost in a dense forest. As night fell, he found an abandoned cabin. Inside, it was freezing cold. He decided to stay the night. In the middle of the night, he heard a howling wind outside. But then, he heard slow, heavy footsteps approaching the cabin. He peeked through a crack in the door and saw a pair of glowing red eyes. He hid under a table, praying that whatever it was would go away. Eventually, the footsteps receded, and at dawn, he quickly left the forest.
