I hope the above recommendations can satisfy the needs of girls for scary short stories.
One common theme is the unknown. In these stories, girls often face things that they can't immediately understand, like a strange shadow or an unidentifiable sound. This creates a sense of fear and mystery.
A 'Scary Girls' short story could also involve a girl who moves into a new house. At night, she hears unexplained noises coming from the basement. When she finally gathers the courage to go down there, she finds a locked door with something strange lurking behind it.
Perhaps a story of a man who bought an old antique mirror. Every time he looked into it, he saw a figure that wasn't his reflection. The figure seemed to be getting closer and closer each time. One day, he woke up to find the figure standing at the foot of his bed.
The element of the unknown. For example, in many of the stories, there are unexplained noises or figures. We don't know what they are or what they want, and that scares us.
Not always. Some girls school ghost stories can be bittersweet. For instance, if the ghost is that of a former student who is just lingering because she misses the school days. It can be more of a melancholic story rather than a terrifying one.
One important aspect of the history of girls in short stories is the evolution of their portrayal. In early short stories, girls were often depicted as damsels in distress, passive characters waiting to be rescued. For example, in some classic fairy - tales, the girl's role was mainly to be beautiful and virtuous. As time passed, in the 20th century, short stories started to show girls with more agency. Writers like Louisa May Alcott presented girls who were strong - willed and had their own dreams, as seen in 'Little Women'. Another trend is the exploration of different cultures' views on girls in short stories. In some Asian short stories, girls might be portrayed with more emphasis on family values and filial piety compared to Western stories.
One idea could be a story about a haunted mirror. A young girl moves into an old house and discovers a large, ornate mirror in the attic. Every time she looks into it, she sees a figure that gets closer and closer each day. Eventually, the figure steps out of the mirror.
A story about a cursed doll. A little girl finds an old, tattered doll in a thrift store. She takes it home, and strange things start to happen. Her toys start to move on their own, and she hears whispers at night. It's revealed that the doll was once owned by a witch, and now it's bringing bad luck to the girl's family.
