There are many reasons why one might enjoy a good horror story. One, for example, is the adrenaline rush after being scared. The other is that some of us like to experience overwhelming, complex emotions. It also helps that the scary stories aren't happening to you, so you can still feel relatively safe while experiencing them.
And bigger doesn't always mean better, especially when it comes to scary stuff. Sometimes, it’s the small things or short scary stories that are the most terrifying, like an unexpected spider in the bathtub, a creaking floorboard in the dead of night, or a lizard on the wall staring right at you! Those are the real-life short horror stories that give us an adrenaline rush.

From short scary stories about being buried alive to working the night shift alone (or not...?), this compilation of creepy stories definitely has it all. And if you are a fan of two-sentence horror stories, we promise this post will leave you scared and mindless. Let’s dig in!

I wonder, if you have a condensed ghost story, if you spilled water on it, would it grow into a short story or novel.

Two Sentence Horror Story
Daria B 8 years ago
I once heard some light knocking while I was drawing and listening to a CD. I looked around, saw nothing, didn't pay attention, dismissed it as some random sound. Then the album has finished and I wanted to change the CD... But atop the CD player there it was - a grasshopper as huge as a fist!

"I looked in the mirror: my face was not exactly as piece of beauty, the eyes being asymmetric, the nose slightly crooked. How strange, though, it was to suddenly have a face."
