A young man was hiking in a forest. He came across a small, overgrown cemetery. Among the tombstones, there was one with 'forget me not' carved on it. As he read it, a cold wind blew. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine. He saw a figure emerging from the mist. It was a woman in a tattered white dress. Her eyes were hollow, and she reached out towards him, moaning 'forget me not'. The man ran as fast as he could, but he could still feel her presence chasing him.
There was an old house at the end of a lane. A new family moved in. One day, while cleaning the attic, they found a locket with the words 'forget me not' engraved on it. That night, strange noises started. Footsteps echoed through the halls. They saw a shadowy figure that seemed to be searching for something. Every time they tried to leave the house, they felt an unseen force pulling them back, as if the presence in the house didn't want them to forget it.
There's a story of a lonely graveyard. A woman takes a shortcut through it one evening. She notices a strange blue light near one of the graves. As she approaches, she hears a faint voice singing 'forget me not'. Suddenly, hands start emerging from the ground all around her. She tries to run, but it feels like she's moving in slow motion. The hands keep grabbing at her feet, trying to pull her down into the cold earth.
One scary short story is about a haunted house. A family moved into an old, big house. At night, they would hear strange noises, like footsteps in the attic when no one was there. One night, the youngest daughter saw a figure at the end of her bed. It was a pale woman in an old - fashioned dress. She disappeared as soon as the girl screamed. The family left the house the very next day.
The scariest element is often the sense of being haunted. Like in the stories where something that should be forgotten or left behind keeps coming back, it gives a feeling of being unable to escape. For example, when the doll in the first story moves on its own and gets closer to the girl, it's terrifying because she can't get away from it.
In a small town, there was an old cemetery. A young boy was curious and went there at midnight. He noticed a freshly dug grave with the dirt still loose. As he got closer, a hand shot out from the ground. The boy froze in horror. The hand was cold and bony, and it grabbed his ankle. He tried to pull away, but the grip was too strong. Just as he thought he was doomed, he woke up, realizing it was all a nightmare.
A hiker got lost in the forest. As night fell, he found an old cabin. Inside, it was freezing. He lit a fire and tried to sleep. But he kept hearing strange scratching noises on the door. When he opened it, a misty figure rushed past him. He never went back to that forest again.
There's the story of 'The Haunted Doll'. A boy got a very old doll from his grandmother's attic. At night, he could hear the doll whispering his name. When he looked at it, the doll's eyes seemed to follow him around the room. He was so scared that he threw the doll away, but he could still hear its faint whispers from outside the house.
I was home alone. Then I heard the doorknob turn slowly, but no one was supposed to be there.
One short scary Halloween story is about a girl who went trick - or - treating alone. As she walked down a dark alley, she heard a strange rustling. Looking back, she saw a pair of glowing eyes following her. She started to run, but the eyes got closer. When she reached her house, she slammed the door shut, but then she heard scratching on the door all night long.
One campfire scary short story is about a hiker who got lost in the woods at night. As he was trying to find his way, he heard strange whispers all around him. Every time he turned towards the sound, there was nothing there. But the whispers grew louder and more menacing as he walked deeper into the forest. Eventually, he saw a pair of glowing eyes in the distance, and before he could react, a dark figure lunged at him. Another story could be of a group of friends camping by a lake. One of them went to the lake to wash up at night and saw a pale hand reaching out from the water, trying to grab him. He ran back to the campsite in terror, but when they all went back to check, there was no sign of anything unusual, yet they all felt a strange unease for the rest of the night. There's also the story of a camper who woke up in the middle of the night to find a strange old woman sitting by their campfire. She didn't say a word, just stared at him with hollow eyes. When he blinked, she vanished, but he could still feel her presence in the cold air.
