Tomorrow is Monday perhaps isn't the only short scary story you've heard. Other one line horror stories include: your debit card has been declined, the McDonald's ice cream machine is broken, or your memory card is full. And although that's some horrifying stuff, there're plenty of two sentence horror stories and short scary stories lurking online that might actually give you nightmares at night.
With the spooky season soon approaching, there's a lot of planning beforehand: look for Halloween costume ideas, purchase and hang up some Halloween decorations, research some Halloween-themed snacks, and compile a list of ghost movies to watch. However, the to-do list wouldn't be complete without some freaky ghost stories and scary campfire tales just to add to that extra spookiness.
However, while we certainly urge you to read horror books, there are alternative ways to get in that spooky spirit ahead of All Hallows Eve. The terrifying thing with horror is that sometimes it takes just a few words (such as the gas prices) to give someone the heebie-jeebies and scary horror one-liners do just that.
Below, we've compiled a list of the most haunting short horror stories (think one or two sentences long) that will take seconds to read but may take hours (or more) to forget. Do you know of any scary short stories? Let us know! And if you are interested to read about real-life horror encounters, check out these creepy stories shared by fellow Pandas. Happy Boo-ing!
