There was this one time when I was exploring an abandoned building. As I walked through the halls, I saw a shadow moving out of the corner of my eye. I followed it, and it led me to a room with a broken mirror. In the mirror, I saw a distorted face that wasn't mine. I ran out of there as fast as I could. Later, I found out it might have been a trick of the light reflecting off the broken glass.
Once, I was camping alone in the woods. At midnight, I heard strange howling sounds. I peeked out of my tent and saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. I was so scared that I huddled in my sleeping bag, not daring to move until morning. When the sun finally rose, I found out it was just a stray dog.
One of my favorite scary stories is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is haunted by an old man's vulture - like eye. The narrator's slow descent into madness as he plots and executes the old man's murder is truly terrifying. Every little detail, like the way he describes how he hid the body under the floorboards, and then the growing paranoia as he starts to think he can still hear the old man's heart beating, makes it a classic scary story.
I once heard a hotel scary story. A friend of mine checked into an old hotel. At night, he heard strange scratching noises on the door. When he looked through the peephole, he saw a shadowy figure but when he opened the door, there was nothing there. It really freaked him out and he couldn't sleep the whole night.
My scary online dating story involves a person who was overly possessive from the very start. After just a few messages, he started acting like we were in a serious relationship. He would get angry if I didn't reply right away. When we finally met, he tried to control everything we did. He didn't like me talking to other people at the coffee shop we went to. It was really suffocating, and I had to end things there and then. I learned to be more cautious about people's behavior early on in the online dating process.
Once, I saw an old wheelchair in an abandoned house. It was creaking on its own as if someone was sitting in it. I got so scared and ran away immediately.
Once, I was exploring the island at night in Animal Crossing. I heard this really strange, low growl that seemed to come from the darkest part of the forest. I walked towards it, my heart pounding. As I got closer, I saw a pair of glowing eyes. I was so scared I ran back to my house and didn't go out again that night.
My scary story happened when I was walking home alone at night. There was a long alley that I had to pass through. Halfway through the alley, I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. I turned around but there was no one there. I started running and didn't stop until I got home.
Sure. In my scary dream, I was in a dark forest all alone. The trees were so tall that they blocked out most of the moonlight. I heard strange noises like growling and hissing coming from all around. Then, I saw pairs of glowing eyes in the bushes. I started running but it felt like I was moving in slow motion, and those eyes kept getting closer and closer. It was terrifying.
Sure. I once had a stalker who would follow me everywhere. I noticed the same person always behind me when I walked to work or went to the store. It was really terrifying.
Sure. I was texting with someone who seemed normal at first. But then they started sending really strange and menacing messages like 'You can't hide forever'. I had no idea who this person was or what they meant. I blocked the number in the end, but it still gives me shivers when I think about it. There was just this sense of unknown danger that was really scary.
