Don't Know Where To Start?

Potential Prompts:

  • When was the last or most significant time you experienced deja vu?

  • When was the last time you felt like you were being watched? Has anything you’ve experienced gave you the feeling of “uncanny valley”?

  •  Have you experienced something unexplainable, as if it were supernatural? Share that experience.

  • Describe a day when everything felt out of place.

  • Write a story you would tell a group of preteens as a camp councilor around a campfire to scare them

  • You inherit an antique mirror. Whenever you look into it, the reflection is just a little… wrong.

  • A hitchhiker you picked up won’t stop humming a tune you’ve only ever heard in your dreams.

  • A cornfield at night whispers your name.

  • Something in the air changes, but no one can agree on what changed.

  • The world develops a faint background hum one day. Only you notice when it stops.

  • An object in your room has started moving slightly when you don’t look at it. You’re no longer sure which object it is.

  • ​Write about your last paranormal encounter (nonfiction)

  • The horizon is closer than it should be.

  • You can hear a sound that no one else seems to notice. It isn’t loud, but it feels close.

  • There’s a door that leads to nowhere—yet every time you open it, the “nowhere” grows more familiar.

  • Every hallway seems just a little longer than it was the day before.

Try to Lean more into the ambiguous, unexplainable, abstract

feelings rather than horror!
