What could be a spooky element in a sprite cranberry horror story?

Once upon a time, there was a Sprite Cranberry can left alone in an old, abandoned house. In the dead of night, it started to shake on its own. Strange noises came from it, like a gurgling of some unseen liquid. Then, a dark shadow emerged from it, taking the shape of a distorted cranberry figure, scaring anyone who dared to look at it.

The creepy Colonel Sanders statue. It's always there, looking a bit too serious. In a horror story, it could come to life and start chasing people around the store with a menacing look on its face.

The isolation could be a spooky element. In the Big Brother house, contestants are cut off from the outside world. In a horror story, this isolation could make them feel more vulnerable to unknown threats. For example, if there were strange noises or events, they couldn't just run away or call for help easily.

Perhaps the underwear starts to tighten on its own, squeezing the wearer uncomfortably. When it's the 'days of the week' underwear, it could be that the tightening gets worse as the days progress. Like on Friday, it tightens so much that the person can hardly breathe, creating a sense of dread and horror.

A woman received a takeaway of tandoori chicken. When she opened the box, the chicken was covered in a strange green slime. She thought it might be some new sauce but when she touched it, it was cold and gooey like something out of a swamp. She immediately threw it away, feeling a sense of dread that she might have been poisoned if she had eaten it.

A boy saw a shiny bag on the street. He picked it up. Inside was a doll with one eye missing. As he stared at it, the doll's mouth started to move, whispering 'you're next'. He dropped the bag and ran, but the bag seemed to float after him. Everywhere he turned, it was there, until he hid in a locked room. But then he heard the bag scratching at the door, the doll's voice still echoing in his head.

Well, the idea of cursed objects at the wharf can be really spooky. Maybe there's an old chest that was salvaged from a sunken ship, and anyone who touches it is haunted by bad luck or strange visions. Another aspect could be the use of the wharf as a place for dark rituals in the past. The residual energy from those rituals could cause strange happenings like lights flickering, objects moving on their own, and a general sense of unease. And of course, the idea of a vengeful spirit of a pirate who was executed at the wharf and now haunts anyone who dares to set foot there at night.

One spooky event could be when a child is playing with sparklers on Diwali night. As the sparkler fizzles out, the child looks up and sees a ghostly apparition of an old woman standing right in front of them. The old woman is dressed in traditional Diwali clothes, but her expression is menacing. She reaches out a bony hand towards the child, and the child is too terrified to move.

Maybe Dhoni is walking alone in an abandoned cricket stadium at night. The echoes of his own footsteps seem louder and more menacing. Suddenly, he hears the sound of a cricket ball being hit hard, but there's no one else around. The sound gets closer and closer until he feels a cold breeze pass by him, as if an invisible player has just run past him.

Ghosts. For example, a ghost of a past resident who died a tragic death in the place where Esmeralda is could be haunting her. It could appear as a translucent figure or make strange noises like moaning.
