12 word horror story

In a long - abandoned asylum, rumors of tortured souls lingered. A group of thrill - seekers, led by Mark, decided to explore. As they entered the dark corridors, they could feel an oppressive atmosphere. Doors creaked open on their own. Mark's flashlight began to flicker. Then, they heard a chorus of screams. One of the group members, Sarah, felt a hand grab her ankle. She looked down but saw nothing. The screams grew louder. They found a room filled with old medical equipment, and on one of the tables, there was a blood - stained straitjacket. Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind them, and they were plunged into complete darkness, with the screams and the unseen terrors surrounding them.

Phone rings. Dead voice speaks. This is really terrifying. When you hear the phone ring, you expect a normal call. But then a voice that doesn't belong to the living comes through. It makes you wonder about the boundary between the living and the dead, and what could be on the other side trying to communicate.

In the forest, a howl that wasn't a wolf.

There was a forest known for disappearances. I ventured in. The trees seemed to watch me. As night fell, I saw a faint light. Following it, I came upon an abandoned cabin. Inside, a diary told of a cursed entity. Suddenly, a cold wind blew out my torch. In the dark, I felt a presence. It was icy cold. I screamed as sharp claws dug into my skin. The last thing I remember was being dragged deeper into the forest's darkness.

At midnight, the mirror showed a face not my own. It grinned menacingly. I smashed the mirror, but the shards still showed that awful face.

The doll's eyes turned red. Creepy.

Once upon a time in a small, desolate town, there was an old, creaky house at the end of a winding lane. People said it was haunted. One night, a young traveler, Tom, seeking shelter, knocked on its door. There was no answer, but the door slowly creaked open. Inside, it was pitch - dark. As he walked in, a cold draft blew past him. He heard strange whispers that seemed to be coming from the walls. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a pale woman with long, black hair that covered her face. Tom tried to run, but the doors slammed shut. The woman inched closer, her nails scraping on the floor. Tom could feel his heart pounding as he desperately searched for an escape. Then, he saw a glimmer of light upstairs. He rushed towards it, only to find a room filled with old portraits, all of which seemed to be watching him. The horror intensified as the woman's cold hand grasped his shoulder.

Think of a simple, creepy situation like 'Lights out. Something moves. Shadows.'

One night, I was alone in my old, creaky house. I heard a strange scratching at the window. When I peeked out, there was a pale face with hollow eyes staring back. I ran to my bedroom and locked the door. But then I saw a shadow seeping in from under the door. It slowly took the form of a hand, reaching for me. I screamed but no one could hear me. As it grabbed my ankle, I woke up. It was all a nightmare, or so I thought. But then I saw the scratches on my ankle.
