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.

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!
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.
I was reading my life story on a blog, I reloaded the page and it said that the page was gone. That was the last thing I ever saw
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.

There was a faint laugh coming from my bedroom closet i call out for my brother. But I then remembered I lived alone…
"Survive 24 hours in an insane asylum to win 1,000,000 dollars!" It's been 26, and the doors are still locked.
My daughter told me to check her bed for monsters. When I bent to look, I never got up.
I smiled to the person standing in front of me, but they didn't smile back. I guess this mirror is broken.
I didn’t realize the mirror was two-way until I stepped out of the shower. The word “help” was written in the fog from the other side.
I wasn’t too worried about burglars breaking & entering because of my dog. That is, until I heard a whistle outside my window from the shadowy figure looking inside, then she stopped barking & laid down calmly.
I was just about to fall asleep when I heard foot steps coming towards my bed. I lived alone so when I realized what was happening I quickly pretend to be asleep. Inside my head I whispered a quick prayer. Then I opened my eyes just a crack that looked like nothing and I saw him a man writing something on my wall with big letters and then watched him slowly slip beneath my bed. I almost had a heart attack when I read the words, but it didn't matter a knife was already coming from under my bed cutting my flesh below my chin. It said "I know your awake." Usually that is the end of a horror stories but more is to come- She silently gasped in denial still pretending to be asleep so the man wouldn't notice and hopefully go away. But it actually made thing worst, when the man seemed to believe her, he crawled out from under the bed and, then pulled her head up so he could be 100% sure she was awake. she realized that if she kept pretending her dead husband would notice. He came for revenge.

All of the paint bottles were relabled to the different types and when they were canned. Their scent and the beautiful crimson all of them left behind on the canvas were what compelled me to keep painting, no matter how much I miss the neighbors.
The paint bottles were all red, though many were labled other colors. The scent of the blood in the capsules compelled me to keep painting.
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.

My son always ripped up his drawings when he didn’t like them. If only he didn’t become a tattoo artist.
maybe here's a funny one that might make your day unless you're a mother of a child that is easily offended: -Please take me instead! I scream, grabbing at the two men who took my child. -"Sorry ma'am, children only" they said, as they continue loading up the last lifeboat on the ship. :)

My mother was calling for me too come down: that I was too high up in the leaves. I laughed and turned to look down at her. I stopped laughing when I saw myself behind her.

I don't know what makes me cringe more: the stories, or the people commenting each one of them thinnking that their comments are funny.
I was a bit irritated by the comments offering rational explanations - the whole objective of the stories is to fire up the imagination, why would you try and ruin that?!
