These 2-Sentence Horror Stories Will Send Shivers Down Your Spine
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 an overwhelming amount of complex emotions. It also helps, that the scary stories are not happening to you, so you can still feel relatively safe while experiencing it. And bigger doesn't always mean better, especially when it comes to scary stuff. Sometimes it's the small things that are the most terrifying, like an unexpected spider in the bathtub, for instance, a creaking floorboard in the dead of night, or Donald Trump's tiny hands. Those are the real-life horror stories that give us an adrenaline rush.
The classic of the horror genre is, of course, the two-sentence scary stories. So when Reddit user 'meiguess' asked others "What is the best short horror story you can come up with in two sentences" - the answers scared everyone to death. You might want to keep the lights on for this one. 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 mindless.

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
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."
This needs more upvotes. I like the take from the spirit side!
It's 10pm and raining,I regret reading these
Its 2:19 am and its boiling hot. I'm terrified
i had to stop reading this... I live alone and it's really creeping me out.
Yes it is. I stoped reading above your shoulder just before you went to the comment section. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
I had to stop after the guy was talking about his daughter crying in the cemetery. It almost gave me a panic attack lol
It doesn’t say if the narrator was a guy or not though.
If u had kept reading until the one where it says u don’t look up, you would’ve pooped ur self.
As the first shovelful of dirt landed on my chest, I finally managed to whisper "I'm not dead!" At first I thought they hadn't heard me, but then one of them smiled and said "We know."
Oh, that's a good one!
I've come to the comment section for comfort.
My ball stopped rolling in the middle of the empty corridor. Then it came back to me.

Get somebody to fix it then like calm down!

Your floor is uneven.
"Honey, Time for dinner!" I heard my mom call. I walked out into the hallway, when I remembered that my mother died 12 years ago.
you need to see a doctor about that man
Love it. 2 weeks after moving into our 1903 house we watched our cats one down stairs, sit, and act like they were being stroked. We were the only ones home.
"i played rock paper scissors with myself in front of the mirror last night at 3 am. i won."
How is that possible it's a mirror
Something tells me you miss the joke. That something whispered it in my ear.
That’s why it’s scary
WHY did I keep clicking on 'View more?'

I was watching a horror movie with my friend when she grabbed my wrist after a jump scare. I was about to tell her "It's ok" when she asked if I was hungry, her voice coming from the kitchen.

in the creeping darkness i remembered i have 15 minutes for my break at work. Disappointingly, I spent 20 minutes reading stupid 2 sentence horror stories!
Some of these were kind of amusing, in a macabre way.
I have a couple of creepy two sentence stories: I saw a face smiling through the window. My room doesn't have windows. l heard a dripping sound coming from the bathroom. The tap was turned off. My daughter told me she had a nightmare about a man with no face. I was about to tell her everything was okay, but I didn't have a mouth to do so. My mother told me she loved seeing my kids. I don't have any kids. I heard a knock on the front door. But then I saw the woman knocking on the wall beside me.
The face stared at me through my bedroom window. I froze: the matted hair and sallow skin didn’t belong to my wife or either of my daughters. It would have been terrifying enough. But one fact made it even worse. I was standing outside.
I placed the doll in front of the bathroom to scare my girlfriend. We had a good laugh about it afterwards, at least until we realized the doll was laughing too.
Very scary. Mooooooooooooooore pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! MORE SCARY STORIES
I was finishing my homework in a breakout room on zoom, when I heard my group-mate call my name. I was in a singular break out room.
I heard a fart from my mom's room, sounded like a man grunting. then I remember my mom is a lesbian.
I woke up panting, a rare nightmare having gripped me. I sat up in bed, and instantly knew that something was wrong. My wife’s dead body was lying beside me: my son hanging from the rafters.
it is normal to hear scratching and whining when you have a childhood pet.but when you are all grown up and have no pets and no roommates it is much scarier from the inside of the apartment.
ill try to make a two sentence horror story, and here it is: Since I live alone, I would say goodnight to make me not feel so lonely, Until the darkness answered back. That was the fastest i've remembered myself packing my cases, and leaving

As the last man on earth I stand on the 30th story window ledge. Just as I let go I hear the phone ring.
