When I was a kid, I had to walk through a long, dimly - lit corridor to get to my bedroom. One night, as I was walking, I felt a cold hand on my shoulder. I turned around but there was no one there. I ran as fast as I could to my room and hid under the covers. Later, I realized it was probably just my overactive imagination.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
My true scary story happened when I was walking home late one evening. There was a figure in a long black coat following me. I tried to walk faster, but it seemed to keep up. I turned a corner and hid in a doorway. When I peeked out, it was gone. But then, as I started walking again, I felt a cold breath on my neck. I ran all the way home, not looking back. It still gives me chills to think about it.
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.
I heard a footsteps scary story from my grandfather. He was in an abandoned building once. He heard footsteps that seemed to be coming from the basement. He was curious and went to check. As he got closer to the basement stairs, the footsteps grew more intense. He then saw a shadowy figure at the bottom of the stairs. He quickly ran out of the building, and he said he never went back there again.
