really scary two sentence stories

Here's one. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a shadowy figure at the foot of my bed. When I blinked, it was gone but I could still feel its presence.

I woke up in the middle of the night to a cold hand on my face. When I turned on the light, there was no one there.

He was alone in the old house. Then he felt a cold breath on his neck and a whisper that said 'leave'.

Sure. The doorbell rang at midnight. When I opened the door, there was no one there but a cold wind blew through me.

It depends on the person. For those who are easily spooked by the unknown and sudden scares, 'Bag Man' can be really terrifying. The two - sentence structure is designed to shock, and it does a good job of that. However, some people who are more desensitized to horror might not find it as scary, but it still has an eerie quality.

Well, you need to think of something unexpected. Such as 'I looked at my reflection in the mirror. But it wasn't me staring back.' It's about catching the reader off - guard.

I felt a presence in the basement. As I descended the stairs, the door slammed shut behind me.

Walking in the forest, I heard a strange howl. Then I saw a pair of glowing red eyes in the bushes.

Another one: 'My sister texted me she was coming home early. When she arrived, she looked exactly as she did the day she died.' This one gives me chills every time. It could be related to some kind of supernatural experience or just a very strange coincidence that makes it seem so spooky.

In the mirror, a face that wasn't mine stared back. It grinned as I screamed.
