讓人聽了發毛的故事

核心畫面
Picture someone in a dark room saying: wait till you hear this. What follows makes the back of your neck cold — the empty house, the upstairs, the thing nobody can explain.

可以想成一個人在暗暗的房間裡說：你聽聽這個。接下來的內容讓你後頸發涼——空掉的房子、樓上的腳步聲、沒有人解釋得了的東西。horror story 的核心畫面大概就是這個「講述」：把一段內容用話遞給你，而且它被塑造成會讓你起雞皮疙瘩的樣子。這個形狀一旦存在，大家就也拿它來講真實的事。真的發生過、而且糟到讓你有同樣那種寒意的事，也會被叫做 horror story，只是鬼跟怪物就留在原地沒跟過來。One branch
