Can you share some examples of scary essay stories?

Well, perhaps a story of a cursed object. In the 'Scary 1 Minute Stories', there might be a tale where a girl found an old locket. Once she put it on, she started having nightmares. In her dreams, a dark figure was chasing her, and she could feel its cold breath on her neck. She soon realized the locket was cursed.

Silence. When there is complete silence, it can be quite scary. There could be a sense that something is about to happen, like in a horror movie before the big scare. It gives an uneasy feeling as if the world has stopped and danger is approaching without any warning.

One example could be a story about a haunted house. A family moves in and at night, they hear strange noises coming from the attic. Every time they go to check, there's nothing there, but the noises keep getting louder and more menacing.

One example is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a man who is driven mad by the old man's vulture - like eye and ends up killing him. The narrator's psychological state and the way he confesses in the end make it a great scary story for an essay. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw'. A family gets a magical paw that can grant wishes, but every wish comes with a horrible consequence. It's full of suspense and moral lessons. And 'Dracula' is also a great choice. The vampire's powers and the fear he instills in the characters are excellent elements to analyze in an essay.

Another is the story of the Kuchisake - Onna, the slit - mouthed woman. She is said to have a large slit from ear to ear on her face and asks people if they think she's pretty. If you answer 'yes', she'll slit your face to make it like hers. If you answer 'no', she'll kill you.
