In a lonely forest, there was an abandoned cabin. A hiker decided to take shelter there for the night. As he was settling down, he heard a soft whispering. He thought it was just the wind at first. But then, he saw a shadowy figure moving in the corner. The figure seemed to be floating towards him. The hiker grabbed his things and ran out into the night, not looking back once as he heard the whispers getting louder behind him.

😋I recommend the following novels to you: Mysterious Revival: A Spiderweb of Strange Words, Tempting the River: The Eye of the Ghost, Ghost Stories with Unpredictable Ending, and Quick Terror Plan.

Sure. One classic short and scary ghost story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is haunted by the vulture - like eye of an old man he lives with and his descent into madness as he tries to deal with it. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw' where a family gets a cursed monkey's paw that grants wishes but with terrifying consequences.

Well, how about this one: A man is driving alone on a dark road and suddenly sees a woman in a white dress standing in the middle of the road. When he stops, she disappears. Spooky, right?
