In a small village, there was a one - armed old woman. She lived on the outskirts of the village in a dilapidated hut. Whenever a child misbehaved, the adults would tell them about the one - armed woman. It was said that she used to be a witch and lost her arm in a battle with a good wizard. At night, if you passed by her hut, you could sometimes hear her moaning as if in pain, and her one - armed shadow would be cast on the window, which was really terrifying.
I'm not entirely sure which 'one armed bandits' you specifically refer to. If it's about the one - armed bandit slot machines, their early life was related to the development of gambling machines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were designed to be simple gambling devices, often found in saloons and gambling halls.
The origin could be from a real - life accident that was then embellished over time. For example, if a person lost their arm in a mining accident long ago, the story might start as a simple account of the accident but as it passed from person to person, it could gain spooky elements like the person's ghost with one arm haunting the mine.
Once upon a time, there was a haunted house. One night, a young girl named Lily was dared by her friends to enter it alone. As she stepped inside, the door slammed shut behind her. The air was cold and stale. She heard strange whispers and creaking sounds. Suddenly, a shadowy figure darted across the hall. Lily was so scared that she ran towards the nearest room. Inside, she saw an old, dusty mirror. As she looked into it, a face that wasn't hers stared back, with hollow eyes and a menacing grin. She screamed and fainted.
Sorry, I don't have enough information to tell you more about this specific murder of a one - armed man in the true story.
In 'one scary story', there was a small town. Every full moon, people would disappear without a trace. One night, a traveler passing through the town noticed everyone locking themselves inside their houses. Ignoring the warnings, he wandered the streets. He heard a howl in the distance. Then, out of the fog, a huge, hairy beast with glowing eyes emerged. It chased him through the narrow alleys. Just when he thought he was doomed, he found an old shed to hide in. He stayed there until morning, shaken by this encounter.
The one - armed man was an ex - soldier. After the war, he lost his arm and his mind. He moved into an old, abandoned house on the outskirts of town. At night, he would wander the streets, mumbling to himself. One night, a young boy got lost and stumbled upon the one - armed man. The man's crazed look and his one - armed gestures scared the boy so much that it became a local dark legend.
If we assume that this story is set in a historical context, it could be related to the social and economic conditions of Chicago at that time. For instance, if it was during a period of high industrial accidents, the one - armed man could have been a victim of such an accident and the physician might have been involved in either trying to save his arm or dealing with the aftermath. Or perhaps in a time of crime waves, and the man lost his arm in a violent incident and the physician was there to patch him up. However, this is all speculation without more details.
As I entered the old, abandoned house, the door slammed shut behind me. I then heard a slow, creaking sound coming from upstairs, and I knew I was not alone.
The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock at the door.
Once upon a time, on one scary night, I was walking alone in the old cemetery. The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, and the only light came from my flickering flashlight. As I walked among the tombstones, I heard a strange moaning sound. I froze in fear, my heart pounding. I thought it might be the wind, but it sounded so human-like. I quickly turned around to leave, but then I saw a shadowy figure in the distance. I ran as fast as I could, not looking back until I reached the safety of my home.
