21 True Horror Stories Animated (Compilation of Feb 2021)

this happened when i first moved out i rented a small place and started working as a pizza delivery guy it was a local shop the work pressure was moderate throughout the weekdays but during weekends we hardly had time to relax i generally did day shifts but due to the bulk of orders i had to do night shifts on weekends too i was quite happy to do night shifts being honest it gave me a lot of time to relax during the day and also people got paid good tips on night orders on weekends our boss provided us three bikes and one car to go for the deliveries the car was especially for night shifts because driving through the empty highways amidst the woods at night is quite unsafe on a two wheeler it was a saturday night i got three deliveries back-to-back the first two deliveries were close but the last one was on the outskirt of the town after five minutes of driving the town i drove onto a dusty road the gps tracker showed me the way i was driving amidst the dense force my car headlights were the only light around me i could hear the owls hooting and the crickets chirping at the distance after continuing like this for a while my gps tracker showed me a turn on my left as i reached near the turn i noticed a dark road going that way without gps i would have surely missed this turn it was 11 pm when i finally reached the location a sketchy looking wooden house stood in front of me i got out of my car holding the pizza box in one hand and my phone in the other the house was in complete darkness i walked to the main door and rang the doorbell the porch light lit up above my head i felt a bit relieved that someone is inside i was standing there waiting for the door to open just when a woman spoke from the inside who is it i said in an awkward tone um ma'am it's me the pizza delivery guy a few moments when in silence the door half opened a terrified looking partial face peeked from the darkness it was a woman i could only see her one wide eye she then said oh it's really you i smiled awkwardly and said yes ma'am here's your order she opened the door and took the pizza box from my hand i have been to many houses and have seen lots of creepy owners but this woman was literally making my skin crawl she then said i will have to go upstairs and bring the money till then if you want you can wait inside she then started to walk upstairs it was a bit chilly outside so i entered the living room and decided to wait there the living room was very untidy dirty clothes were lying in a corner i don't know why but a rancid smell was floating all over the room another thing that caught my eye was the woman's wedding photos even though the house was super messy and unclean the photographs were in good shape as if someone cleaned them recently there were four to five photos in the living room the one big photo of her wedding hung on the wall right in front of me it was a really big frame the woman was standing beside a lean pale looking man she was smiling really big as in ear to ear to some extent the photo felt very unusual especially that man's face didn't seem at all happy to me anyways prying in our customer's life is a strict no-no for us so i stopped thinking all this [ __ ] i was becoming impatient as this woman was taking really long this was the last delivery of the night so i wanted to get the payment and the [ __ ] out of here as soon as possible i said in a loud voice ma'am where are you it's getting late now can you please hurry up i have a long drive home the woman didn't respond but after a few seconds more i heard footsteps coming down the stairs as i looked up i saw the woman coming down with that ear to ear smile on her face like that photograph i didn't notice all this time that she was actually wearing her wedding dress the dress is completely torn out and dusty it was in such a bad shape that no one can spot it without seeing her wedding photos she looked at me and said in a scary voice don't i look beautiful in my wedding dress now i got hella awkward and replied ma'am please make the payment so i can leave it's getting very late now she raised her skinny pale hand towards me and said take it as i reached to take the money from her hand she dropped the cash on the floor i thought it was an honest mistake so i got down to pick it up from the floor while i was picking up the money my eyes went to the couch kept in the middle of the living room my blood froze then and there i didn't know what to say because i saw a dead body lying under the couch the dead body had started to rot which clarified the rancid smell all over the house i could identify the body in a wink this is the mistress of the house she opened the door and a few seconds ago let me in but if she is there then who was standing in front of me right now i slowly looked up and saw the woman standing and leaning on my face her eyes were gusting out her smile made me feel like i've been drowned in the darkest darkness she laughed and said in a demonic voice don't i look beautiful in my wedding dress i screamed at the top of my lungs and ran for my life after getting out of the house i looked back once only once the woman was still standing at the doorway she was laughing like a creature from hell her laugh was echoing all around the woods i started the car with trembling hands and drove as fast as possible i went straight home that night the next morning i called my boss and told him this entire thing he laughed at me at first and said i might have been hallucinating but then i went to the cops and told them to check this house everyone was obviously mocking me at the beginning when we all got into the house they all got shot and terrified just like me the cops discovered the woman's dead body underneath the couch she was lying there dead for at least two to three days i told the cop that she was the one who opened the door and i didn't at all hallucinate the entire incident but the [ __ ] didn't just stop there after searching the entire house the cops found another dead body they found a dried corpse tied up to a chair in the basement it was a man's corpse someone starved him to death the cops investigated the entire matter and the story unfolded scaring the hell out of all of us the man and the woman were living in the house the woman was very suspicious in her married life she drove her husband crazy whenever he used to go outside one day the husband got paranoid about his wife and decided to leave her the wife somehow managed to drug him in his sleep and then tied him to a chair so that he could never leave her but during this process she tortured her husband which eventually led to his death the woman turned into a lunatic after her husband died and she too committed suicide i have stopped working as a delivery guy at night even though it was the most horrifying incident of my life i still find it really uncomfortable that the woman's spirit found me to make her story heard before i begin this story i want to warn everyone to stay away from dark web last month i had a small gathering at my place i invited a couple of my office colleagues and we all drank and watched the football match it was a men's night out hence everyone got really drunk and lost track of time there were three of us me and my two colleagues max and andy we work at the i.t department of a multinational company the night was going well but suddenly max brought up the topic of dark web he said in a serious tone very few people have the actual guts to surf the dark web if you lost your way there you have no idea what horrible things will come up in my college days i also accessed dark web once or twice but nothing horrible took place i said in a mocking tone well i think people spread a lot of rumors about the dark web it's not that dangerous at all andy said um i never want to step in that arena one of my college seniors told me that a guy ordered drugs from the dark web once but instead someone sent him the dust of human bones which he snorted i said in a surprised voice what what happened to him andy replied while taking a sip from his beer bottle that guy barely got out alive my senior told me he bled terribly from his nose i laughed and said i think your senior lied dude i can show you dark web is not that scary at all i got up and turned on my laptop max and andy sat beside me on the couch and we started to surf the dark web using the tour browser i was drunk and got adamant i still regret going to the dark web just to prove a stupid point that night i was going through the hidden wiki of the dark web there were a bunch of links to various sites we found a site that helps you to hire a hitman and then a site where you can upload torture videos and earn money from the viewership the more i searched the weirder everything started to become max said dude can't believe some people can be this creepy in real life i was about to click a new page when andy pulled my attention to a link the link read http colon forward slash forward slash true footages dot onion i said let's check out this link max grabbed my hand and said i don't think we should click on random leaks matthew let's just get out of this and watch the game seems like you are not one of those people who have the guts to surf the dark web huh i later realized how i insulted him but i know i should have listened to max that night without saying anything more i clicked on the link the screen started to load andy and max kept staring at the screen with big wide eyes i thought it would be some kiddish jump scare or something similar to that but as the page finished loading a zip file started to download on my laptop and he said hey it can be some virus you know it can crash your machine i replied saying i have a strongly built anti-virus and the system would have blocked the download if it was a virus in the first place anyways after the file downloaded i extracted it in my laptop and it came across with three mp4 files in it i finished my beer in one sip and said are you ready to watch some dark web footages and smirked max and andy were curious too so they nodded as i played the first footage a small wooden house appeared on the screen the house was located in the countryside the person who took the footage started to walk towards the house as he opened the door we saw old furniture and damp clothes lying here and there it was evident from the condition of the house that no one lives there we could hear the heavy breathing of the person who had the camera in his hand but it was hard to guess whether it's a man or a woman the person stopped near the stairs standing in the living room i was obviously getting bored but suddenly andy said in a whispering tone did you hear that sound i asked what sound he said listen carefully i think someone's crying i immediately increased the volume and realized andy is right there was actually the sound of a man sobbing the man was crying like he's in terrible pain the camera started to go upstairs now our heartbeats got faster as the person with the camera reached upstairs the video ended without any hesitation i played the second video the second video started showing a corridor lying ahead of the camera this time the cry could be heard more clearly the camera kept moving towards the corridor and it came near the door max said i think there's someone inside the room andy's system saying watch it quietly now the person behind the camera went to open the doorknob and we saw a pale looking skinny hand with lots of rings on its fingers the red nail polish on those fingers made the hand look even creepier we realized it's a woman probably in her late 40s filming this video as she twisted the doorknob and opened the door a vicious sight took place there was an old man tied up to a chair placed in the middle of the room it was this man's who cry we heard on the first footage seeing the woman with the camera the man started to cry even louder the fearful look on his face made it all look so real the man said in a sobbing and gasping voice please julia let me go why are you doing this to me please don't hurt me let me go julia we heard the woman laughing in a very disturbing way it was evident from her laughter that she was enjoying this man's pain she placed the camera on a wooden stand or something like that now the camera is steel and it is focusing on the man tied up to the wooden chair andy said in a panicked voice is this all real this time i got really confused i wasn't expecting something like this at all the man kept sobbing and there was no sign of that woman for a few moments suddenly the woman jumped in front of the camera from the left corner it almost gave us all a heart attack she started to laugh looking at the camera like a maniac her eyes were big and she had a pale face the way she stared at the camera it gave us all goosebumps max even said i feel like she can see me what the hell is this all the woman slowly moved her head and looked at the man then she again looked back at the camera and gestured her finger in her lips and he said this woman is freaking insane is she telling us to keep quiet what kind of bizarre video is this i was speechless with everything that was happening in front of my eyes the woman picked up something from the ground we couldn't see what it was but as soon as she started to walk towards the man the man's behavior changed in a second the man started to panic like a fish out of water he said no julia no you can't do this to me i am your husband julia please don't do this the woman reached behind his back and lifted her hand she was holding a chainsaw in her hand her evil smile made my heart drop to my stomach she again looked at the camera and shifted like before the man was crying and sobbing and the video ended there the three of us sat silently on the couch looking at the laptop screen flashing the third video file on it i was literally shivering max was breathing heavily andy said in a trembling voice should we watch the last video what do you think happens in that max got up and said damn you matthew i told you to stop i hit my face with my palm my forehead was covered with sweat then i said i i don't know andy played the last video what we saw next shook us for our entire lives the man was no more on that chair the wall behind him was painted in blood there was blood splattered all over the room our eyes were stuck on the screen our hearts were beating like wild horses when we saw that woman coming in front of the camera from the left side again her head was down looking at the floor her hair covered her partial face i could tell she was holding something in her hand she then stopped and turned towards the camera her face was still looking down she started to cry like a child her cry was making everything even more uncomfortable now she cried standing like that for a few more seconds and then suddenly lifted her hand with the bloody head of her dead husband yes she was holding the severed head of that man in the chair she started to laugh like a maniac while showing off his head towards the camera her eyes were glowing she was looking like the devil from hell max gasped oh my god did she really kill her husband with a chainsaw and immediately started to throw up on the floor i was numb i couldn't move couldn't take my eyes away the woman then got really close to the camera and gestured a bloody finger onto her lips and said in a whispering voice keep quiet the video ended there all of us remained awake the entire night andy got really sick we admitted him to the hospital as he had a nervous breakdown after watching the video we took the footage to the cops and told them everything the cops are still investigating and looking for a woman named julia who cut her husband's head off with a chainsaw and posted the entire incident on the dark web if anyone comes across this woman please let the cops know about it i have no doubt that she is a mentally unstable woman roaming free with murderous intentions hidden inside i work as a staff member in a city hospital morgue it has been five years now but i still get horrible nightmares of one particular incident the morgue is in the basement of the building i am a male in my late 20s i was well aware of the mental impact caused by such kind of jobs residing 12 hours in a morgue is not very entertaining that's for sure at the beginning of my tenure i was often assigned to day shifts after working there for two years without any trouble one day my supervisor called me for an emergency meeting my supervisor told me that the guy who used to work the night shifts has recently left the job so they need someone to cover for him until a new recruitment arrives i accepted the shift to impress my higher authorities and they handed me over a new schedule i got assigned for the night shift from 6 p.m to 6 a.m for a week the first three days went like usual but i must say at night it felt really spooky to pass the time i often took rounds of the morgue sometimes i used to visit the emergency ward which was right above the morgue one night i was sitting in my cabin and drafting the reports just when a colleague of mine called me to the emergency ward after reaching there i came to know that a patient in cabin number three has just passed away the man met with a horrible accident i saw two to three doctors coming out of cabin three their white jackets were drenched in blood i got instructions to take the dead body into the morgue and postmortem will take place the next morning i have seen enough dead bodies already but as i stepped inside the cabin my heart stopped with wide shaken eyes i saw a completely mutilated corpse lying on the bed there was blood all over the bed flesh was gushing out from the cuts on his legs and hands but that wasn't the scariest part as i noticed the man's face a chill went down my spine his head was faced towards me with a wide open mouth the man was staring at me his eyes were cold and dead still for a moment i felt the man blinked at me just then my colleague patted me on my back and i came back to my senses my colleague said come on john what are you waiting for i didn't say anything and started my work i looked at the corpse onto a stretcher and headed towards the morgue i got onto the lift for the first time in my life i was feeling uncomfortable inside an empty lift with a dead body after reaching the moor i unzipped the back cover and once again that vicious face came out i put the body inside the vault and came back to my cabin i sat down and started to write the reports again there was absolute silence in the basement area generally that's how things often are at night in the morgue section but the silence of that night made my skin crawl don't know how long i went with my work but a sudden sound broke my concentration i heard footsteps outside as if someone is walking in the corridor i got up and came out of my cabin the room where the dead bodies are kept lies at the end of the corridor i saw the doors were closed and the core door was completely empty i was walking towards the main room when suddenly i felt someone was walking behind me i turned around but there wasn't anyone i blamed my stupid head for imagining all this the main room was perfectly fine everything was in its place only the door of vault number three was wide open this is the vault where i kept the man's dead body a few hours back with a sense of fear i reached near the vault and pulled out the stretcher the man's body was still lying on it but this time his wide mouth was closed not just that a weird grin appeared on his face it felt like he was looking at me with his dead eyes and smirking at me i said to myself [ __ ] it i am going home i immediately pushed the stretcher back inside and decided to leave for home i plan to call my supervisor and make up a story about feeling sick i was almost near the exit of the main room when i heard a sound coming behind me i turned around and saw the man crawling out of that vault like a creature from hell his entire body was covered in blood his eyes were even wider now as if they will come out anytime i couldn't move and kept witnessing this horror in front of my eyes the man came out and stood on the floor blood was dripping from his body the entire floor beneath his feet turned red with blood i said in a panicked voice you you're supposed to be dead but the man laughed in a very low creepy voice and replied you know what's the best part about being dead you don't feel anything anymore i couldn't believe that i was standing face to face with a living dead body i was about to scream when the man rushed to my face i can't explain how he did that but it was like he swept his way like wind and stopped right at my face his eyes were right in front of mine i didn't know what to do then but an idea came to my mind i asked him what do you want please let me help you the man now looked up and said i was poisoned before getting into the car tell them to check the postmortem they must know the truth or she will live free i was about to ask him who but suddenly the lift door opened and i turned back i saw my colleague upstairs coming towards the main room with a few doctors he told me john you still here there's hardly any work here today you could have left early today i looked back at the vault and everything seemed like nothing happened here a few moments back there was no sign of blood or that man feeling messed up in my head i started to walk to my cabin but before getting inside i told my colleague and those doctors i don't know why but i feel like there was some other reason behind this man's death he didn't just die because of the accident they all gave me a surprise look bud i got inside took my bag and left for home the next morning i got a phone call from a colleague he told me oh my god john how did you know i mean it anyway would have come out in the post-mortem report but how come you were so sure at first i failed to understand what he meant so i asked what are you talking about my colleague replied that man the dead body recovered from the road accident last night traces of poison has been found in his stomach doctors are saying he was poisoned before he got into the car this is now a criminal case cops are all over the hospital i started to sweat like hell that means it all actually happened the man's ghost was there in front of my eyes i sat down at the chair nearby it took me time to deal with the fact that i have not only experienced a supernatural occurrence but also talk to the hunting spirit of a dead man the case continued for a while until the cops arrested his girlfriend for poisoning him before he left her house i realized that by she the man meant her i didn't leave my job after this incident the man visited me for one last time the day his girlfriend got sentenced for first degree murder charges i was working another night shift in the morgue i just finished placing a corpse inside vault number three as i turned to go to my cabin i saw that man standing in front of the lift this time he had a big smile on his face his body was disfigured like before but his face was looking more fearful than before his ear to ear smiles still haunts me at night i just stood there because i had no idea he will come to visit me again but this time he didn't say anything he just lifted up his head the flesh was hanging from it making his bone gush out of them then he waved me goodbye and disappeared into thin my air and i are passionate about road trips but things wouldn't have taken a bad turn if our passion stayed within its limits one rainy day stella and i were coming back from a road trip the rain started to grow heavy it was becoming difficult to drive amidst the rain and the thunderstorm so we decided to stop at the side of the highway i was worried that waiting on the highway during a thunderstorm is not a safe option i was thinking what to do next when stella said look mark there's a building on the left turn nearby i followed her eyes and saw a building-type structure peeking behind the trees at some distance stella said let's go there we might find some shelter for the night at that moment it seemed like a good idea so i took the left turn as we stopped near the building i realized it was an abandoned hospital we got out from the car and ran inside the big glass door of the entrance was already broken as we entered the hospital i realized no living creature has entered this place in a very long time there was broken furniture and shattered glass everywhere raindrops were piercing the damp ceiling and falling on the floor the sound of water dripping on the floor combined with the rusty wind coming in from the broken window created a spooky ambiance all around us stella said in a low voice this looks like an adventure my wife stella is a horror fiction writer hence spooky settings like these excite her we went to explore many abandoned and old places for her creative exploration i smiled and said yeah let's look around who knows you might get a story out of this place if i knew my joke would take a horrifying turn i would have left that place right then and there stella and i started to explore the place we turned on the flashlights of our phones on our left stood a passage there were many cabins in the passage we walked in the passage and opened the door of the first cabin there was a worn out dirty bed inside near the bed stood a table and a chair the odd thing that caught my eyes was belt straps attached to the handle of the bed i have never seen such unusual hospital beds most of the cabins were like this every bed inside those cabins had belt straps attached to it stella got bored after a while and said there's nothing here to see let's go upstairs we took the stairway on the right side there were cobwebs and dirt all over the stairway the upstairs corridor was filled with broken glass and damp clothes lying here and there as i flashed the light on the walls i saw disturbing graffiti all over them there were human skulls and demonic faces drawn on those walls someone even wrote kill them all kill and stuff like that with red spray paint i felt weird seeing all that i told stella han maybe we should wait in the car the rain will stop in some time stella replied in a sarcastic tone why are you scared mark i didn't say anything because i knew she will mock me more we were walking in the hallway the sound of the rain outside mixed with the whooshing wind created a hallowed echo in the corridor at the end of the corridor stood a large door on the door was written operation ward stella was looking at the graffiti on the wall i told her what do you think used to happen here stella smiled and said it's an operation theater mark why are you behaving so off i said in an annoyed tone because this place is not some theme park stella the entire vibe of this place is off-putting i don't know how can you not feel that stella looked at me in the same careless manner and said relax this is just some abandoned hospital we will look around a bit then we'll leave stop making such a big deal out of it i thought to myself maybe i am just behaving like a dumb kid it's quite clear that there's no one else here except the two of us we reached the door of the operation theater stella pushed the door and with a terrible creaking sound the door opened i have never seen such a bizarre operation table it was more like a stretcher but there were leather handcuffs and belts strapped on it there was a headspace on the table which too had a leather strap this time i noticed stella's face turning pale she was checking all this stuff with a really freaked out face i went close to the operation table there were surgical tools lying on it the tools were quite different too the surgical knives were more like saws there was a drilling tool as well i picked it up and said to stella i wonder what is the use of this tool stella looked around with her fearful eyes and said oh my god mark i don't think this is some ordinary hospital i became surprised hearing that and said what what do you mean stella replied in the same fearful voice i think this used to be an asylum for you know mentally unstable people that's why there are belt straps and handcuffs all on the cabin beds i think they had really violent patience i realized she was right but before i could ponder on this revelation for a few more seconds my eyes went to the tip of the tool that i was holding in my hand i said in a confused tone there's something on the tip of this drilling tool flash your light on it stella estella flashed her light on the tool we realized it was nothing but dried blood our hearts started to beat fast in fear we inspected all the tools on the operation table and noticed almost all of them had dried blood spots there was a freezer type thing in the corner of that room stella rushed towards it and opened the door as she looked into the freezer she started screaming at the top of her lungs i ran towards her and soon came across the horror lying in front of her eyes the freezer had various types of jars the jar seemed really old and a wreaking smell was coming out of them in each jar there was a human body part in it some had an ear some nose human tongue fingers brains and a human head we couldn't believe our eyes i took out the jar with a human head in it stella said i can't believe they used to treat the patients in such a gruesome manner it was a man's head with his eyes closed the face was horrible to look at but what happened next still gives me the creeps when i think about it stella and i were inspecting the human head with a close look when suddenly the slitted head opened its eyes and started staring back at us out of fear and shock we stepped back the head then started to smile from ear to ear stella screamed as loud as she could and we started to run for our life as i looked back i saw a group of black shadows following us they were whispering in their own demonic language they stretched their hands towards us and started to run i said in a panicked voice run stella run they're coming to get us stella and i stormed out of the asylum and hopped inside our car we could hear the cry of hundreds of people coming from the asylum it was like people screaming in pain as we started the car the cries turned into maddening laughter without thinking much i pushed the accelerator so hard that the car started making a screeching noise i won't be able to explain if you ask me how we came back home all i remember is that somehow we did and which is why we are still alive stella later researched about that abandoned asylum she talked to a few local people and collected some bizarre news on this matter people said the asylum used to be a home for mentally disabled criminals but the doctors running that place used to torture them and run many inhuman experiments on them local people are scared to go there even in daylight they believe numerous spirits of those tortured patients still haunt that place have you ever felt like this is probably the time where you are going to die if you haven't you are so damn lucky this incident happened last week the trauma of this incident is so fresh that i am still having a rough time recovering from it i work in a pizza shop my job includes taking orders and delivering them to customers at night i have always worked the night shift and never faced any issues until now last week i was standing near the counter when our shop's phone rang i picked up and said cheese man can i take your order a man with a really grumpy and rough voice replied that's what i call jackass i felt a bit insulted by his behavior but kept it to myself the man ordered two large pieces and gave an address of a house residing at the outskirts of the town i told the chef to prepare the order i checked the address using my gps and realized it's going to be a 20 minute drive i stacked the boxes on the front seat of the car and started for the destination i was driving amidst the small townships it was 10 p.m at night so the streets were completely empty the yellow street lights created a spooky atmosphere all around i saw a house at the end of the street and realized this is the location i parked my car near the house and got out the house looked quite abandoned to me as if people hardly lived there but i saw the lights in the room upstairs i walked to the main door knocked i could hear a whispering sound coming out of the house no one opened the door so i knocked again this time i heard footsteps it felt like someone is coming down the stairs and walking towards the main door the door opened after a few seconds an angry looking man with a rough bearded face stood in the doorway his eyes were slightly red and he was smelling of whiskey the man said in a rough voice what do you want hearing his voice i realized this is the same guy who insulted me on the phone i said in a calm but firm voice your pizza's here and handed him the boxes the man checked me out from head to toe and then paid me the money saying you can go now and slam the door hard on my face i thought to myself what an [ __ ] this guy is surely [ __ ] drunk with no sense of manners i got back to the car and was just about to start the engine when a sound came to my ears the sound was so mellow that it took me a bit of time to figure out what it was as i tried to listen closely i figured out it was a sobbing sound of a little girl i looked around but there wasn't anyone it was only me inside my car under a street light i listened for a few seconds more and realized the crying sound was coming from the house where i just delivered the pizzas it would have been possible that the drunk [ __ ] had a little daughter and it was a matter of their personal life but there was something in the cry of this little girl that kept pleading me not to leave i slowly came out of the car and tiptoed to the house i got close to the main door and tried to listen to the sounds coming from the house the little girl was continuously sobbing but i heard two more sounds this time i heard two men talking in a really low voice but their talking mode was so rough that i could hear almost everything they were speaking the grumpy drunk who opened the door was saying to another man i told you to tie her mouth tightly the other man replied i did but she won't stop sobbing not everything is my fault brute i said to myself so this asshole's name is brute brute replied in an angry voice i shouldn't have made you a partner in the first place can't even keep a ten-year-old girl quiet jackass they get into an argument with each other and started to use really obscene language the girls cry got louder there was a small window on the house porch i slowly peeked inside from the window and what i saw scared the hell out of me a little girl was lying on a dusty mattress on the floor her hands and legs were tied her mouth has been taped too her wide eyes looked [ __ ] terrified i could tell from her expression that she was in danger the two men were sitting on the porch arguing one was bruce the drunk guy and the other was a bony creeping looking guy sitting right next to him the entire scenario became crystal clear to me i realized they are professional kidnappers and have abducted this little girl this house is probably an abandoned house which is why they chose this place to keep the girl to be honest i was really nervous at the beginning and thought to leave the place and inform the cops about it i thought it would be better if the cops handled this matter but then i again looked at this little girl and realized how dangerous it would be if i just leave her here like this don't know what these two bastards will do to her or what if they take her to some other place or or worse kill her for ransom with various thoughts going on in my head i decided to take one step at a time because there was no way i was leaving this little girl to die at the hands of these criminals i made no sound and got to my car i got inside and called 9-1-1 i reported the entire situation very cautiously so that the kidnappers couldn't hear me the nearest police station was about 20 minutes away from that area they told me to keep my eyes open and they will be here as soon as they can even though i knew the cops were on their way i couldn't just sit in the car and wait i got out and started to walk towards the back side of the house as i reached the back door i saw those two men going upstairs the little girl was lying on the ground like before i said to myself matthew this is your only chance luckily the back door of the house had a small entrance for dogs and cats i put my hand through it and twisted the doorknob slowly the door opened i paused and listened carefully those men were still upstairs arguing i tiptoed to the living room and reached towards the little girl i turned her over and she started to panic at first i shushed her by gesturing a finger on my lips and said in a whispering voice i am here to help you the cops are on their way she nodded her head i stood up started to untie her she was sobbing like before i understood this girl is extremely traumatized from what she is going through right now suddenly i heard footsteps and i started to hurry up i was almost done when i heard a thunderstriking voice from the stairs hey who the hell are you what are you doing you bastard i looked back and saw brute was standing on the stairs his face seemed like the hound from hell he was breathing like a hungry wolf i immediately took the little girl on my lap and started to run towards the door brute took out a huge knife and chased me i was just close to the exit when he stabbed me on my leg i screamed in pain because i knew he stabbed me deeply but i didn't stop the little girl started crying and screaming in fear seeing blood coming out of my leg i grabbed her tightly to my chest and ran as fast as i could i got on the streets i already said the streets were empty and the next house was at one to two kilometers distance from this one i knew i wouldn't make it that far because i turned around and saw those two criminals chasing me with sharp knives in their hands i was just praying to god please make the cops reach here before they get us i could hear them saying stop i will kill you you son of a [ __ ] stop right now my leg was about to give up and i realized that i should have gotten into the car but i don't know if i could have driven it safely or not while every hope of coming out of this alive with this little girl in my arms was dying in front of my eyes i saw a flash of red and blue lights heading towards us the cops cars siren made me heave a sigh of relief i turned back and saw bruce and that bony guy now running backward i was sure that they have seen the cops and are trying to escape now i stumbled on the ground and a lady cop came rushing towards me as soon as she took the little girl from my arms i lost my senses i had to stay in the hospital for a week the cops managed to reunite the girl with her parents and have arrested brute and his partner doctors say i might have to limp while walking for the rest of my life but when that little girl visited me in the hospital her smile and the tears of joy on her parents face made all my pain worth it i am happy that i could save a little child's life on that night of pizza delivery this true incident of my life can be quite disturbing for many viewers i myself am also ramsacked by the impact of this incident that i can barely sleep at night i would like to keep my identity hidden so for the sake of the story you can call me ted since childhood i was different than other kids of my age i still remember the first time i witnessed death i was playing in our backyard when a pigeon broke its neck and fell in front of my monster truck i don't know why a thrilling sensation grabbed me that day instead of calling for help i crushed the suffering pigeon with my truck the pigeon flocked its wings and blood kept flowing from its smashed head as i grew up this feeling of seeing blood flow grew too i sometimes used to bite my own lips just to taste some drops of blood i won't deny i like the salty flavor of it even more than any dessert when i was 12 years old my mother went to visit my grandmother and i was home alone our neighbor next door came to cook some food for me miss harrison made me some steaks that night while chopping the mead she accidentally cut her finger with our sharp kitchen knife she went to the washroom to dress her wound and told me to wash the knife as it had drops of her blood as soon as she disappeared from sight i secretly licked the knife and tasted her blood i won't lie it felt amazing soon i came to realize that i possess a very weird fantasy which in other terms can be compared to cannibalism no matter how many types of meat i had my entire life nothing beats the taste of human blood and flesh with more days passing by my weird fantasy started to make me anxious i was looking for a way to make it come true by tasting actual human flesh you must understand that i'm not a killer my intention was never to hurt anyone on purpose but i couldn't help myself with this hidden fantasy either i was going through a troubled time then my father died from a heart attack and our family fell apart he was admitted to the hospital for a long time on the day of his death when my mom and grandparents were busy talking to the doctors and paying the medical bills i sneaked into the hospital more i saw fresh dead bodies lying there it was probably lunch time so there was no stuff there i was completely aware of the security camera so i chose a dead body laying in the corner of the morgue i carefully got close to it without revealing my face to the camera i used a small surgical knife that i stole from my high school lab i cut a few pieces of flesh from the body and ate it even though the flesh was a bit stiff it tasted like heaven i finally realized i am accountable i finished high school and decided to study medical science so that i can remain close to dead bodies my first year of college when by tasting dead people's meat i used to cut out selective body parts from the cadavers kept in the lab of our medical school then have them as my dinner things weren't great but i was addicted to it one day i was sitting in my room and browsing through the dark web when i came across a site named cannibal cafe forum this cannibalistic forum is about eating people and being eaten by people here people log in requests to get eaten or eat others talk about their cannibalistic fantasies for example a note under the website read the cannibal cafe forum is dedicated to covering a full range of cannibalistic fantasy the topics here deal with fantasies involving consenting adults the more i searched that site the more my curiosity increased some people willingly wanted to be victims of cannibalism i was shocked and extremely excited to find out about this site i logged on and started to take part in chats on that forum i had no friends no girlfriend and i hardly visited my family after moving out for college i wanted to keep my life as private as possible to avoid any source of suspicion from anyone every day after coming back from college my routine was to sit in front of my computer and explore the cannibal cafe form people posted ads on that forum expressing their desire to get eaten and tasted by others for me it was like my own custom shopping site i thought everything through and decided to post an ad myself as i said already i am not a killer so all i wanted was a volunteer to make my fantasy come true people used to talk about tasting human flesh how to cut a human body in perfect pieces what kind of recipes should be followed for a certain part of a body and so on i posted an ad that read looking for a volunteering victim to assist for a few of my recipes interested candidates mail me every night after coming home i checked the page to see if someone has responded to my ad or not a few weeks passed and nothing happened i almost lost interest in this form i started to doubt the entire setup as a scam a part of my mind kept telling me none of this is actually real people people who are claiming to be cannibals just like me are not at all criminals in real life this is probably a hoax just to spook people about the dark web i was on the verge of deleting my account and move on with my terrible secret when a reply popped up on my ad it was a rainy saturday night i rented an apartment for myself i used to work at a medical store on an internship basis to earn some cash i had no social life as such so my expenses were quite minimum in comparison to other college going boys and girls i came home completely drenched that night i stormed into my room and opened my computer like every other day i logged into the page and went to freshen up while i took a shower in my bathroom i kept hearing the sound of notifications coming from my computer within five to seven minutes i came back to my seat and saw two notifications the first notification was a comment on my ad i opened it up and saw a reply reading hi i am a 42 year old woman i would like to connect with you further please accept my chat request the next notification was a request sent from a profile named bloody zoe i knew this wasn't her actual name but anyways i accepted her request irrespective of her age i was eager to talk to her because i wasn't looking for anything more than tasting actual flesh from a volunteering victim as we started to chat i kind of started to feel fascinated by her words zoe said that she too has a weird sensation towards the entire act of cannibalism she was looking for an opportunity to be a part of this actual act and that's when she found my ad i asked her many people have posted ads before me so what made her interested in mine to which she replied that she is new to the page and her fantasies are different from others she wants me to cut her layers of skin slowly and taste her blood but she doesn't want any gruesome violence or torture during the process i knew then and there that she will be a perfect match i told her that it would be great if she could meet me so we can take the matter forward she says she will eventually but before that she will prefer if we talk for a few days to know each other well i had no issues with that we started to chat regularly on the form i even posted some of my recipes with the body parts of the cadavers i collected to fulfill my fantasy with more days passing zoe and i became quite close but we never shared any details regarding our personal life we made a pact that after we are done tasting each other's blood one time we will break all ties and move on to other possible candidates so after a wait of two months the day finally arrived we decided to meet at a completely unknown location i didn't tell her my address and she too did the same we selected a random cafe to meet around 7pm sharp i hadn't seen her neither has she seen me it was going to be a weirdly fascinating experience for both of us to resolve the issue of identification i texted her how will you recognize me zoe replied i will tie a red scarf around my hand and you also do the same on my way home from college i bought a red scarf from the clothing store i barely slept that night i was all excited to meet this woman and make my fantasy come true the cafe was at 20 minutes distance from my place i got ready and took my car keys i dropped a text on the chat box of cannibal cafe to notify zoe that i am on my way zoe too replied back that she will get there in time just how we discussed i drove really fast at night and reached the cafe before time i looked at the clock it was 6 50 pm there was still 10 minutes left i booked the table for the two of us and started to wait i got up in the middle to go to the washroom i took the scarf with me while coming out of the washroom i started to tie the scarf on my hand suddenly my eyes went to the entrance i saw a woman with a red scarf tied around her hand closing the cafe door after coming inside her back was facing me i was sure that this is zoe with no doubt because there was no one else with a red scarf on their hand inside the cafe i looked at my watch and it was 7 p.m sharp i was about to walk towards her when she finally turned towards me and my life shattered at that very moment i was right about her name not being zoe because i know her name and not just her name i know her very well the woman with whom i fantasized about fulfilling my cannibalistic urges on the dark web is none other than my very own mother yes my mom was standing at the cafe door her eyes were transfixed on me we were both standing like statues with red scarves tied to our hands i couldn't believe all the things she told me these past two months my mom she is just like me or i am just like her my head was banging i had no clue what to do my mom stood there numb expressionless for a few seconds then stormed out of the cafe like lightning it has been four years now i haven't seen her haven't talked to her my grandparents have no idea about this i think i don't even know where my mom is now last time when nana called me she said mom took a job in the uk and left this country she asked me what went wrong with her suddenly i obviously couldn't answer i don't know what to do i have deleted my account from the cannibal cafe forum i haven't visited the dark web since the incident i am trying to be a vegan now but seriously will i be able to face my own mother ever in life this happened last week i am sam i study in high school we had a teacher named mr smith he taught us chemistry one day after class mr smith told us that he is planning to go on a long holiday which is why he might not be present at the next classes he told us that until our principal can arrange for someone to take his class for a while we should prepare for our lessons on our own generally everyone was excited to hear that we all thought at least the chemistry class was going to be off period for a while next day when we went to school something unexpected happened as soon as we went in front of the classroom and opened the classroom door everyone screamed in horror a body was hanging from the glass ceiling it was our chemistry teacher mr smith mr smith committed suicide in his very own classroom his neck snapped to the other side when he jumped from the wooden chair while trying to tie the rope around his neck many of the students fainted many started vomiting i became numb i stood there silently like a statue and watched his body dangling in the air the school immediately went into a lockdown police cars stormed the front of the school our parents came to take us home we stood outside the school gate and watched the paramedics taking our chemistry teacher's body away next day our principal addressed the entire school by giving his condolences to mr smith's family our school life went back to normal but we often heard teachers and seniors talking about mr smith's unfortunate death some even said that his wife was having an affair with one of his friends probably this is why he decided to commit suicide with more days passing by people started to forget about this incident but the classroom where mr smith committed suicide remained unused needless to say it was almost awkward for everyone to use that classroom like every other one our principal declared that the classroom will be renovated and turned into a lab one day i went to the washroom in the middle of our english class the boy's washroom was right beside the chemistry class i was passing through the classroom door just when an eerie feeling grabbed my heart i felt like someone was inside the classroom i opened the door to check myself but there wasn't anyone i found myself standing inside an empty classroom suddenly i heard someone's voice really close to my ear it felt like someone was standing beside me and whispered in my ear help me sam i immediately turned around but there was no one for a second i felt as if mr smith spoke into my ears after that day many rumors started to roam around the school teachers said that the chemistry classroom is haunted our school security guard went to take as usual around at night and saw a man standing in the dark hallway with blood red eyes his neck was snapped making his head hang from it even though these incidents were only witnessed by some the entire school started to believe that mr smith's spirit actually roams in the school one day i was talking to a friend standing in the school corridor when i saw two cops leaving our principal's office i overheard one of the cops saying to our principal yeah this is just a case of suicide hence we don't think further investigation is needed anymore so we are closing this case mr wright our principal mr wright nodded his head with a sad face and the cops left that night i had a terrible dream i was standing in the chemistry classroom above my head mr smith's lifeless body was hanging from the ceiling i looked up and saw his dead face he suddenly opened his eyes and said you must bring him here sam you must help me as i woke up drenched in sweat i realized it was 10 o'clock in the morning i tried to think the entire day why am i having this weird feeling about mr smith's death and who was the person he was telling me to bring to him there were so many questions but no answers i expected it was just my mind playing tricks on me until the next horror unfolded our school organized a basketball match after the last class it was 5 p.m when the match started all the students and teachers stayed back after dark that day principal wright was supposed to honor the winning team with the house cup everyone was cheering on the basketball court like crazy suddenly my eyes went on mr right and i saw his face losing color it seemed like there wasn't a single drop of blood in his face his eyes were fixed to the middle of the basketball court he wasn't watching the game rather staring at something i followed his eyes but saw nothing except players running around to score point principal wright suddenly got up and said something to our gym teacher who was sitting right next to him then left for the exit this is when i heard that spying chilling voice bring him sam bring him to the chemistry classroom i don't know what happened to me but i somehow lost control over my legs for a moment i felt someone pulled me from my seat and made me follow him as soon as i came out i saw mr smith walking away amidst the school corridor i said in a shaken but clear voice mr smith my father would like to speak with you for a moment it is urgent my father wasn't there i made all this up trust me or not i felt like i was in a mode of trance and someone else was speaking from my mouth mr smith got really annoyed and started to walk towards me he said in an irritated voice fine where is he i don't have much time i need to go somewhere come let's make it quick i took him to the chemistry classroom mr wright went inside and said why did you tell him to wait here there are plenty of places in school to talk the classroom was as usual empty mr smith went inside and looked around then said where's your father i don't see him what kind of joke is this but before i could answer the classroom door shut in my face mr wright started to scream terribly as if there was someone else with him too i heard him saying oh my god smith you are supposed to be dead the next words that came out of his mouth in fragments but i could gather the idea was that he was apologizing to someone saying that he didn't mean to pursue his wife with romantic interest and something more like that then he started to scream terribly the game stopped hearing his painful scream and a few students came out everyone gathered outside the classroom we all kept hearing principal wright begging for mercy to someone teachers tried to open the door but nothing happened he kept screaming for a few more minutes and then suddenly it all went silent the cops were informed and when they broke the door we found our principal's body hanging from the ceiling in the same manner as mr smith no one could say what exactly happened that night inside the classroom when the cops asked me did i see anyone going inside the room with mr right as i was the first one to reach near the classroom door i replied i went to the washroom and came out hearing his scream just like everyone else later a few teachers said that mr smith's wife has confessed to the cops about her affair with our school principal this is why mr smith took his life due to depression and anxiety but no one knows what happened to principal wright they think he committed suicide out of guilt but they don't know what i know i think it was mr smith who lured mr right using me as a medium and then took his final revenge but one question that still confuses my mind is that why did my chemistry teacher choose me to get his revenge what do you think i was 12 years old when my parents died in a plane crash my grandpa took me in but he was too old to care for me my grandpa had a friend who ran a conference school and a small hill station he decided to admit me there so that after his death i didn't end up in a foster home or an orphanage one sunny morning we got onto a train to reach the hill station i suddenly became a quiet kid after the huge shock of my parents passing away the convent was specifically for boys there were hostiles on the school premise the school principal hugged me and said hello richard i am father baker you must know no matter where your parents are they will always be with you you will be taken good care of here think this place as your home now my grandpa talked with him for a while and then told me i will come to get you for holidays you can talk to me whenever you feel like it just ask father baker okay i nodded my head gesturing yes i still remember my grandpa's tearful eyes when he waved me goodbye standing at the school gate the school was built in a valley surrounded by hills there was a huge playground in the middle honestly it was hard for me to be on my own the first few weeks but with time i too adopted this new environment like every other boy in the convent every hostel room had accommodations for three boys my roommates chris and bernard whom we called bernie became good friends in no time we were a team they always protected me from bullies and any kind of trouble maybe they felt bad for me somehow but whatever the reasons they are the best kind of friends i earned in life i am still in touch with him and i will be as long as i can now back to the story our womb was faced towards a bushy field adjacent to an abandoned lake it was the backside of our hostel there were saplings and broken pillars scattered all over the field the lake water was dark and dirty one evening we were sitting in our room and finishing our work for school tomorrow even though the weather was favorable i felt a bit claustrophobic i walked up to the window and as i went to open it barney rushed towards me and said in a panicked voice what are you doing robert i got very surprised with this sudden feat of excitement in him i replied awkwardly um opening this window the room is feeling claustrophobic so i thought chris got up and said no you must never open this window after dark it's a strict rule rooms that have windows facing the graveyard should never be opened after dark this was obviously some brand new information to me even though it has only been a week for me here i knew almost every small detail about this convent and this place but i never heard that we have a graveyard near our convent with a confused face i replied where's the graveyard i don't see any tombstones there i mean even yesterday morning when i opened the window there was just saplings and trees growing in the field with the abandoned lake at the end chris went back to a sea and drink water from his glass barney told me in a low voice sit down we will tell you i was more than surprised to see this sudden change in their behavior after taking pause for a few seconds chris finally started to talk many years back this convent used to be a royal house of a british navy officer his name was gerald shaw mr shaw had a wife named emily their only daughter samara died from a brain fever after their daughter's death mr shaw somehow managed himself but his wife emily couldn't take the shock pinned down with sorrow and depression she drowned herself in the lake next morning one of their maids discovered emily shaw's body floating in the lake lifelessly mr shaw arranged a funeral for his beloved wife they buried her in the church graveyard but next morning everyone witnessed a terrible incident they saw her grave had been dug up and her coffin lying over the ground as if someone took it out from the grave thinking it a weird incident they all buried her again but the same thing happened three times consecutively every time they buried her the coffin came out from the ground on its own the church father then told mr shaw that his wife was a sinner as she had committed suicide which is an offense in christianity the holy church graveyard is refusing to accept her body out of rage and disgust mr shaw took his wife's body and buried her in that field which was then the garden of the house since then people say emily shaw's spirit roams that place at night and if anyone sees her she tries to get their soul by killing that person she is still buried there and her tombstone is probably covered in weed and saplings hiding from the sunlight i said and how much of this story is actually true bernie looked at me and replied last year a boy from room 707 fell asleep keeping the window open the entire night he was alone in the room as his roommates went home for the holidays next day when everyone went to call him for prayer he was found dead his eyes were turned to the other side with his tongue coming out of his mouth it was as if someone choked him to death in his sleep old places like this always come up with a bizarre story from its past i got back to my homework saying well once you die you are dead this is the truth of life otherwise my parents would have come back to me long back obviously a comment like this silenced both chris and bernie that night but with time i realized how the entire school blindly trusts this story about the shaw family there were many rooms with windows facing the graveyard so it was almost impossible to lock all those rooms it even surprised me how each boy in our school solely believes this story and never breaks the rule by opening their room windows after dark even boys with windows facing other sides of the valley were scared to open them after sundown i had no intention to make a fuss about all this because i hardly believed the story and also at the same time it didn't bother me so be it i never cared about whether the window was open or closed holidays came and we all got ready to go home we were packing our bags when our cleaning lady miss bright came in she said in her caring nanny voice my children are ready to go home it seems who will miss poor miss bright now we smiled and said we will be back soon and everyone will miss her she was really caring towards all of us she started to clean the room before holidays and we again got busy packing miss sprite opened the window and sunlight flooded inside the room i went near the window and stood there silently watching the black lake and the bushy field chris called me and said let's go robert your grandpa is waiting downstairs we left for home it was a one month holiday i stayed with my grandpa and had a lot of fun my grandpa told me that my parents have left enough money for me so i don't have to worry about my higher studies and life ahead i looked at him and said grandpa do you believe people can come back even after death he obviously didn't expect such a question that too from me so he looked at me with surprised eyes then said well they don't have to come back if they stay in your heart like your parents they never left you they are still with you i was expecting an answer like that so i didn't extend the conversation after the holidays we returned to our school chris and i were downstairs saying goodbye to my grandpa while bernie went up to unlock our room the school allowed us to carry our own room key as soon as he opened our hostel room i heard his scream we immediately ran to our room and saw bernie lying unconscious on the floor but there was so much more happening other than that the room was completely ransacked as if someone took out their frustration on each and every piece of furniture inside the room not just that there were bloody footprints all over the room floor and the window was wide opened it later came out that miss bright forgot to close the window but i was not ready to accept this explanation that some woman's ghost did this to our room miss bright got suspended for a few weeks for her careless behavior bernie got admitted to the local hospital and chris went to stay with him that night the excessive seriousness of the situation made me adamant to check out how much this ghost story was true i was so angry with miss bright getting suspended over such a small incident that i made up my mind that night after dinner i came back to my room and opened the window it was eight o'clock a cool breeze came in the abandoned backside and lake stood still the sounds of crickets chirping made the atmosphere spooky and mysterious i went back to my bed and said to myself let's see if you really exist emily i don't remember what time it was but i woke up hearing heavy breathing as i slowly opened my eyes and looked around the dark room filled with pale moonlight i didn't see anything at first but then all of a sudden my eyes went through the window and what i saw made me shiver there was a woman figure leaning on the window she was grabbing the iron bars of the window and her mouth was wide open i have never seen such a vicious face her mouth was so wide that i could see her uvula inside her mouth she kept staring at me and then tried to come inside the room as soon as she stretched her big skinny hand i felt a soft touch at the back of my neck i looked back and saw my mom was standing there she looked like a reflection she then said in her low voice robby get up switch on the lights i don't know from where i got the courage at the time i jumped from my bed and switched on the lights i saw no one at the window just the dark lake stood outside i shut the window immediately and that night i stayed with another classmate i spoke to no one about this except to my friends chris and bernie bernie and chris said my mom loves me so much that she actually came to save my life that night after all love surpasses all evil in this world i cried hearing this but their words gave me hope and positivity i don't care if you believe my story but i am happy that my parents are still watching my back from wherever they are now i finished my schooling there last year but as long as i stayed in the convent none of us ever opened the window again i'm a 28 year old single mom my son ricky is still studying in preschool we live in a suburb of southern california my husband was an alcoholic it goes without saying that our marriage was failing he often abused me but for the sake of my son i kept tolerating him one night he came home really drunk and started breaking furniture out of a rage over a petty fight ricky woke up and heard the sounds and came out of his room he was standing in the middle of the dining room and watching his abusive drunk father creating a huge scene i was expecting it to be like all the usual nights just when something horrible happened my husband marcus threw a vase toward the wall but instead it hit my poor ricky in the head he started bleeding and fell to the floor being unconscious i immediately rushed him to the hospital and eventually split up for my husband i mean that was all i could take after reporting to 9-1-1 the cops arrested him and he was put in jail i visited him two or three times in jail where he pleaded to me to bring ricky to see him but i obviously never did he apologized many times and said it was the alcohol that turned him into a different person but i was out of second chances for him maybe my life wasn't problematic enough because last month in january i received horrible news that my husband killed himself inside the prison cell he somehow managed to sneak a fork with him after dinner then stabbed himself in the neck even though i was fed up with him i still couldn't help but feel sorry for him i accepted my fate and decided to move on with my life until this unbelievable incident happened last week i finally told my son about his father's death ricky broken the tears even though his father never treated us right i couldn't help but cry with him too we were getting back on our feet until one evening my neighbor miss stewart came over to our house ricky was watching tv in the living room when the doorbell rang as i opened the door miss stewart greeted me with her homemade pie and said hi elena i hope you are doing well i am really sorry to hear about your husband how's your son i accepted her gift and replied thank you miss stewart we were trying our best to get on with our lives she smiled and said i know elena you have been through a lot which is why out of courtesy i came to invite you at our small party that's going to take place in the town hall on valentine's day night i'm not going to pressure you but if you decide to come we will all be very happy to have you there i smiled and said i will try if i can that night when i was tucking ricky into his bed he asked mom now that dad is dead are you going to celebrate valentine's day without him i was shocked to hear such words come from a five-year-old i said why would you say something like that ricky ricky looked at me blankly for a few seconds then answered dad told me to ask you he would be sad if you do so the hair on the back of my neck stood up i said in a shaken voice what ricky you know dad is no longer with us please stop saying things like that ricky didn't say anything just turned to the right side and closed his eyes i couldn't sleep that entire night there was no way ricky would have come up with such a question on his own next morning i called my mom and told her everything she calmed me down and said kids make up things like that when they lose someone at a very young age probably ricky misses his dad so he is worried that if i start dating again i will find someone to replace his dad i went to work after dropping ricky at school around the afternoon i was going through some important files when my phone rang i saw it was ricky's teacher she called me and said to come to the school immediately without thinking much i rushed to the preschool as i stormed into the school hallway i saw ricky sitting on a bench beside his teacher he looked all pale and freaked out i could tell just by the look on his face that something scared him terribly he ran to me crying and i wrapped him into my arms his teacher told me ricky went to the bathroom during class but when he didn't come back after a while she went to look for him and saw him sitting on the bathroom floor hiding his face onto his palms and crying he is not speaking a single word about what happened in the bathroom i brought ricky home and cooked him dinner i decided to make him sleep with me that night as i lay beside him i kissed his forehead and asked what happened at school today ricky did anyone bully you he looked at me with his trembling eyes and said i don't want to see daddy ever again mom i don't know if you'll believe me or not but my stomach dropped right at that moment i said in a low scared voice what do you mean by that ricky ricky replied in a sobbing voice i was coming out of the bathroom just when i saw daddy standing near the door his face was all scary and his head was stuck he wasn't blinking just staring at me i took a pause and said why do you say his head was stuck ricky replied his head was tilted and he couldn't move it just kept standing there and watching me then he completely broke into tears i remained awake that night the horrifying things my son just said took my sleep away the next day was valentine's day i was already worried about the entire life situation but somehow to cheer ricky up i decided to take him to the mall the city mall was decorated in big red hearts and cupid statues were all over the mall floors couples were walking around hand in hand amidst all that celebration ricky and i somehow forgot all the tensions we played games in the gaming zone had ice cream i got myself new clothes and bought ricky a bicycle i decided to spend that night with my parents because deep down somewhere i was feeling lonely after all it was valentine's day around eight we got into the car to drive to my parents house i was relieved to think that for one night i will be able to sleep peacefully my parents live in the outskirt area so we got onto the long empty highway after passing through the city my mom called in between and i told her we would be there in 15 to 20 minutes max ricky was laughing and i was feeling good to see him all happy the road had very few cars and it was quite a safe drive for us ricky said mom can i play some video games on your phone till we reach nana's house i replied of course you can my baby as i lean to the right side to get the phone out of my pants pocket ricky screamed in fear saying look mom look it's daddy i pressed the brakes so hard that a huge creaking sound took place what happened next i will never be able to forget my entire life the car headlights were making the road ahead clearly visible but a person was standing in the middle of the road close to my car i don't know how i should put it but that wasn't just any normal person it was my dead husband yes marcus was standing in front of my car he was staring at ricky with the blank expressionless eyes his face was so pale that it seemed there was no blood left in his veins and above it all i realized ricky told me the truth that day marcus was standing there with a tilted head his neck had stab wounds on its right side due to the broken bones his head was tilted on the left i could see dried up blood all over his dress and partial face he then suddenly looked at me and smiled i've never seen such a demonic smile i could tell it was his haunting spirit obstructing our way i had no idea what i should be doing ricky and i were both frozen like ice we were breathing heavily marcus walked close to the car in that gruesome appearance and then said in a growling voice i hope you forgive me elena i love my son too take care you two he then turned around and started to walk away i could see him starting to disappear in the air as if he was made of dust particles but before vanishing completely into the air he turned toward me for one last time and said happy valentine's day i don't know how i reached my parents house that night if possible i would like to forget this night ever happened but i don't think i'll ever be able to i just hope this gruesome memory fades away from ricky's mind once he grows up the app tick-tock rose to fame in a very short span of time i was studying in high school when the app gained huge popularity among teenagers on a bright summer day i went to the beach with my friends lily and mindy we were having a good time when mindy said let's take some tick tock videos and post them i have never been a social media freak but it was our day out before i could say anymore i saw lily and mindy making videos on tick tock they were lip-syncing to a song and then they moved the camera towards me as i said i get awkward about such things so i just smiled and waved on the video we had a nice time on the beach and came back at night mindy texted me and said that she has posted our videos on the beach on tiktok today i texted her back saying come on i don't care i'm just glad we all had a nice time that ended on a perfect note the next day when i reached school i saw lily and mindy standing in the hallway and laughing out loud i joined them too lily said in an excited voice our videos are getting a lot of views you know what sam called me last night and praised my looks mindy started laughing and said guess you were getting dates because of tic tac now we all laughed about this and went to the class professor mcguire was teaching our history class i was sitting right next to lily and mindy was sitting in front of me the class was going on its own when suddenly lily poked me i looked at her and said in a low voice what lily gestured me to check my phone i looked at my phone and saw she has text in our whatsapp group lily wrote meet me at the bathroom now mindy and i thought it might be some emergency issue as soon as lily left the class we got up and left too after reaching the girls bathroom i saw lily standing in the bathroom with a really freaked out face mindy asked what's going on lily she said in a tensed voice do you remember the tic toc video we took at the beach three of us in it i replied yeah what about it she said i just got a very bizarre comment on that video lily showed us the video mindy and i went to the comment box and saw some guy named mike the hunter has commented saw you girls that day at the beach might come to meet you again the comment indeed creeped us out mindy said in a worried voice did any of you notice any creepy dude at the beach that day i said no i didn't also there were so many people it would have been really hard to spot a single person like that lily agreed with me and we deleted the comment from the video we calmed ourselves down and decided to ignore this matter it was also possible that someone is deliberately trying to scare us by lying after coming back home i started to keep an eye on our tic toc beach video in case the guy comments again i expected the matter to end here but that obviously didn't happen i was sleeping in my room it was around midnight when i woke up with the heavy sound of notifications popping in my phone at first it felt really crazy that who was sending notifications at this hour of the night i checked my phone and saw seven recent comments on our tick tock video i opened the video right then and saw the same guy named mike the hunter has commented again his comments were even scarier this time okay whose idea was it to delete my comment come on come on be a good girl and tell me after four to five comments like this where he accused us of deleting his comment from our video i noticed his last comment and a spine chilling feeling grabbed my heart mike has written i could have abducted one of you when you were coming from school today but i didn't do you really guys think it would be a good idea to push me i called mindy and she took lily in a conference call lily was already sobbing over the phone mindy said in a panicked voice what should we do pamela this guy is stalking us i knew both of them were very much terrified so i have to keep my head calm right now i told him a firm voice guys it's a weekday and it isn't much hard to guess that we're school going teenagers this guy is just trying to scare us by making basic guesses lily replied well there's hardly any info in his account i think this can be a fake account too maybe someone is trying to prank us from school i commented in the video mentioning the guy [ __ ] off you creepy jerky what we do is none of your business i then told lily to block his account immediately lily did that and we all went to bed a few days went by and nothing happened we almost forgot about this guy and got back to our usual life one day i was coming out of my class when i saw lily talking to sam standing in the hallway mindy was right behind me i gestured her towards lily and we both laughed lily was blushing as sam kept flirting with her mindy said in a sarcastic voice at least something good happened to lily because of that bloody tick-tock we came back to school in our usual happy mood but something changed after that day mindy stopped coming to school i called her house and her mother picked up the phone she told me that mindy is not well and she's going under diagnosis it might take a while for her to come back to school there's nothing much lily and i could do so we went on with our regular life lily started dating mike and i kind of felt alone without mindy i was sitting in the cafeteria alone when lily came to me and said did you get any text from mindy i replied yeah i talked to her a few days back she says she's undergoing some therapy she asked about you i told her how hugely busy you are with your new boyfriend lily smirked and said come on stop teasing me now i smiled and said when was the last time you talked to mindy lily replied actually in the morning she only texted me she told me she is feeling a bit better and would like to see me in the evening near the jungle gym at the park i felt a bit sad that mindy only invited lily and forgot me lily didn't care much about that which hurt me more but i let the matter slide it smiled anyway i returned home after school i was going through my study table when i found mindy's copy in my books i remembered she forgot her copy the last day she came to school so i picked it up to return it later as i opened the copy and noticed the first page my head started to bang in terror the copy was filled with scribbles and obscene words mindy has written lily and sam's name all over the copy and has violently scribbled lily's name when i turned to the last page the actual horror unfolded in front of my eyes there was a name written on the last page mike the hunter so it was mindy she made all those creepy comments in our video but why then a thought struck my mind did mindy have a crush on sam is this all because of that i called him mindy's mom immediately i asked her what is going on with mindy but before i could say more mindy's mom broke into tears she said on the phone oh pamela how should i tell you this mindy has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since you all came back from the beach her behavior started to turn even more violent she would lock herself in the room all day and scream and break things we have sent her to the mental institution nearby i don't know what more to do a terrifying realization came to my mind mindy has told lily to meet her at 7 pm in the park without wasting any more time i told mindy's mom miss smith i want you to call the mental institution right now and tell them to keep a strict eye on mindy she wanted to ask me why but i just told her to do this immediately after disconnecting the phone with mindy's mom i started to call lily but her call was going straight to her voicemail i started to grab my things to leave for the park on my way to the park mindy's mom called me again and gave me the shocking news which i was expecting somehow she said that mindy has escaped from the institution the hospital staff has said that she was being extremely violent the entire day i told her how mindy is trying to harm lily over her obsession with a guy at school i also told her to call the cops and meet us at the park where mindy is going to meet lily it took me five minutes more to reach the park as soon as i got near the jungle gym i saw the scariest sight of my life lily was lying on the ground and mindy was choking her to death this is not the mendy i used to know her face was filled with scratches of nails her hair was all messed up her eyes were extremely wide and full of hate and anger i screamed at the top of my lungs mindy that is your friend lily what are you doing mindy looked at me and said in a deep dark voice who's mindy i have murdered your friend mindy already now i'm going to finish this skinny [ __ ] too and after that it will be your turn then she started to laugh with her evil looking face by this time lily grabbed sand from the ground and threw it into mindy's eyes mindy started to scream holding her eyes and i helped lily to get up the cops and mindy's parents had already reached the spot they all grabbed mindy and took her away i don't know where she is now i have left the town long back lily and sam are married now and living happily in new york i myself i'm someone's wife too mindy's family kept no contact with us they disappeared without letting anyone know about them after that incident but mindy if you are in good shape and watching this please get back to us we still miss our old friend my name is sophie and this happened last year on valentine's day i met sam six months before valentine's day even though it all started out as casual dating we soon became really close i felt like he is the one for me we used to go out a lot and made many good memories everything was going well one day sam told me he recently spoke to his mother she would like to invite us to a valentine's day dinner at their house i looked at him with a nervous face and said um are you sure about bringing me to meet your family sam gave a big smile and said come on sophie you're a delight they will be overwhelmed to meet my girl even though i felt things were happening soon i didn't say that to sam honestly i was excited to meet his family too his family stayed in a farmhouse located in the countryside i stayed with sam on the night before valentine's day at midnight when the clock struck 12 sam surprised me with a bunch of roses and a beautiful heart-shaped red velvet cake sam loved pampering me we exchanged our valentine's gifts and love was indeed in the air next morning we woke up and packed our belongings it was going to be a five hour drive so we decided to start early sam started the car and we were on our way as soon as we left the city we stepped into a refreshing nature long trees standing on the roadsides and the bright sky greeted us with cool breeze cheered me up in no time we were laughing and talking on the way i asked sam so how many people are there in your family sam smiled and said you're still nervous about this huh i awkwardly smile because i was at the time sam then said well it's not too much my parents my grandma and my little sister tina i replied in a surprised voice sam you have a sister why didn't you tell me earlier how old is she sam smiled and said yes i have a sister i knew someday you were going to meet her anyway and she's 12 years old i laughed at his humor i noticed that i actually knew nothing about sam's past or family until now we always talked about us but hardly talked about him or his previous life all i know is sam teaches in a city school and we meet in a pub i shrugged off this uncertain feeling because i am anyway going to meet his family now we were about to reach when sam's mom called i obviously couldn't hear her from the other side of the phone but with sam's reply i guess that she was also excited to meet us after four and a half hours of driving sam pointed out to a dusty road on our left and said see that road the farmhouse is at the end of it we got on the road and i was surprised to see how an entire family is managing their life in such a secluded area as far as my eyes went i could see only trees and vast fields at the end of the road stood a wooden farmhouse acquiring a large area we finally reached near the house and sam honked his horn a small girl dressed in flower printed frock came running towards sam behind her a woman came too with a smile on her face i realized it was sam's mother and the little girl is his sister she hugged sam and said welcome home son and she must be the beautiful sophie and came to hug me too i felt her affection with her warm hug and my face turned all red with his unexpected attention she said in a gentle voice come on let's go inside everyone is waiting for you too it was a warm beautiful house the house had a lake in the backside i have never been to a place so close to nature hence everything felt amazing to me sam's mom took us to the dining room an old woman was sitting in a big armchair and a tall man was pouring himself a glass of wine sam's mom introduced me to all of them sam rushed to the old woman and said oh grandma i missed you so much his grandma smiled and then looked at me there was something in her stare that made me feel really uncomfortable she was not just staring at me rather checking me out her big wide eyes cripped me a bit suddenly the tall man came to me and said hi i'm william sam's father welcome sophie i smiled and said the pleasure is all mine sir thank you for having me here sam's grandma laughed with a creepy voice and said well none's gonna have you we've already cooked food dear everyone laughed at her joke and i had to join them despite the joke being really not funny sam's mom said we have prepared your bed in tina's room i hope you won't mind sharing a room with her i nodded my head and said oh no it's absolutely fine sam's mom then turned to the little girl and said tina take sophie to your room and be nice to her okay tina chuckled and said i'm always nice mama tina held my hand and we walked upstairs as soon as i entered her room i got shocked her room was nothing like a little girl's room there were stuffed animals all over rabbits eagles deer heads were hanging from here and there i asked her whoa what are these tina she replied in a jolly voice these are mementos i said in a worried voice what do you mean by mementos she chuckled and said daddy and i like to go hunting every sunday these are all the animals we killed and i stuffed them with daddy's help don't you like my collection i was out of words suddenly i hear sam's voice from behind looks like you guys are already bonding huh he stood on the doorstep and smiled i was surprised to see how casual he was to see his little sister decorating her room with dead animals instead of toys tina chuckled and said i will go check out the frosting of my strawberry cake mommy and i made that for you sophie brother told us you like strawberry she ran out of the room sam came to me and said hey is everything fine i know we couldn't stay together my family is a a bit conservative on that front i replied no that's fine but don't you think your sister's room decoration is a bit weird sam laughed and said oh sophie i forgot to tell you our family has a kick for hunting you know we have grown up amidst lots of dead animals it's nothing you'll get used to it too now go freshen up dinner will be served soon around 8 30 i got downstairs with tina for dinner the dinner table was filled with various kinds of meat dishes as we all sat down and started to eat my mind started to forget all the tensions earlier they were a happy family after all the steak was delicious the chicken soup made with their farm fresh vegetables took all my tiredness away tina said in a cheerful voice cut the cake mommy give sophie the big piece sam's sister was really adorable in one word i was having a really good time sam came to kiss me good night we were just talking when i heard sam's father's voice from downstairs come on sam hurry up it's time now i asked time for what sam sam replied my father and i are going to hunt some wild boar tonight there's a forest about 20 minutes from our house anyways gotta go love see you in the morning i saw sam and his father driving away in their van from tina's window i was surprised to know sam could be the guy who likes to hunt wild boars at night i mean he appeared very simple to me i lied down on my bed tina was asleep already don't exactly remember what time it was but i heard a woman scream and woke up in fear it took some time to adjust my eyes with the darkness of the room and i saw tina was not in her bed i was almost ready to get up and look for her just when i turned to my left and got freaked out like hell tina was standing just beside my bed i said in a terrified voice what was that and what are you doing here tina replied in a perfectly calm voice don't be so scared sophie it was just a pig's cry i replied in a shaken voice pig what pig i don't think it was a pig tina sat down beside me and said yeah the animals scream when daddy skins them it's absolutely fine words like that coming from a 12 year old not only felt bizarre but pointed out the fact that their entire family is hiding a secret i decided to check things out on my own so i acted normal and went back to bed i waited for tina to fall asleep again as soon as i heard her quiet breathing i tiptoed to the corridor i saw the light in their woodshed from the window downstairs everyone was asleep i slowly opened the door and started to walk toward the woodshed soft grass on the ground helped me to suppress the sound of my footsteps the door of the woodshed was locked but i could hear sounds of chopping and sam and sam's father laughing in excitement i crouched on the ground and put my eye on the door lock what i saw ran shivers down my spine a woman was laying on a huge wooden table she looked like a hiker and she was dead her eyes were open like a dead fish blood dripping from her face and hand i couldn't see anymore because someone stood in front of the lock and my view got guarded but i heard sam's father say two to three groups are residing in the forest who came for camping tomorrow we will hunt a male your mother wanted to make the steak again sam laughed and said yeah dad who could tell today's steak was cut out from a man's thigh i mean it tasted delicious i couldn't believe my ears and eyes these people are cannibals oh my god what do i do now i quickly got up and while turning towards the house i kind of leaned into the door and made a sound sam said dad there's someone outside the door but by the time they opened the door i was already inside i peeped from the dining window and saw sam looking around for some time and again went inside i heaved a sigh of relief i realize this is my only chance i rushed to his room and took the car keys i was about to go to the main door when i saw sam's grandma standing near the door blocking my way she gave me a vicious smile and said you can't leave you are supposed to be one of us now my grandson wants to marry you so you can stay with us forever i said in a disgusted voice you guys are sick feasting on human flesh you are all [ __ ] cannibals leave me alone and let me go but she obviously didn't listen to me she started to scream and i knew she was going to wake everyone up i rushed toward her and knocked her down with one punch she fell on the floor and i ran for my life i jumped into the car and saw the house lights were on i didn't look back for a second just started the car and drove as fast as i could i reported to the cops about this family but they only found a burnt down house on the same address i gave them i don't know where they all went but i'm sure they have escaped suspecting i would go to the cops i just hope i never meet any of them again not even that cannibal little girl hi my name is jack i stay in ohio with my brother my brother and i have a knack for car racing since childhood we have been highly active in outdoor sports last month we went to the racing track and took part in an ongoing competition my brother acquired the second place and i on the other hand met a terrible accident i was fortunate enough to live through it but there's one thing my family doesn't know till now i don't think i will ever share this matter with them but i feel like i need to tell someone so here i am with my utterly disturbing story in that accident i injured my arm badly i got a few bruises and cuts all over my body along with all this i hit my head really hard resulting in immense bleeding my brother rushed me into the hospital nearby and we had no time to get back to the city the imr racing track was situated in a hill area hence there was only one hospital the fine rest hospital don't know why the name of the hospital still feels weird to me my brother admitted me there and took a room in a hotel nearby so that he can stay with me until the recovery the hospital was in the foothill of a mountain the cabin i was kept in had a really nice view from its window after two days of critical condition i finally became stable i had no idea what was happening around me because i was heavily sedated and in terrible pain whatever i just explained so far i heard most of it from my brother on the third day of my stay at the hospital i woke up from my unconscious state in the middle of the night as i opened my eyes in the middle of the night i found myself lying on a bed with an oxygen mask saline tubes and god knows how many channels attached to my body i took a few minutes to understand the room properly i looked around and saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the couch in the cabin from her getting up i could tell she was a nurse she was reading something sitting there i said in a week voice water some water please the woman kept the magazine on the couch and walked towards me i finally saw her face as she leaned on me the woman was probably in her late 40s she was wearing extreme makeup which kind of freaked me out in my moment of trance she then said in a high-pitched voice welcome back then slowly lifted my head and helped me drink water from the glass before i could talk further i again fainted the next morning when i woke up i felt much better i saw my brother charlie sitting next to my bed with a smiling face he said with joyful eyes i thought i lost you this time and held my hand i smiled back at him and said you are not getting rid of me so easily slugger we both shared a laugh he told me how our parents are freaking out and sitting at home dad wanted to come but charlie told him to calm down and he'd handled the entire situation all by himself we were chatting and cracking jokes when a doctor and a nurse entered our room the doctor said so mr benz you are a fighter your brother is just like you he arranged everything and gave us full cooperation he is the one who actually saved you i was feeling really lucky at that moment when my eyes went to the nurse standing in the corner she wasn't the one from last night my brother stood up and left with the doctor he told me that within four to five days they will be able to shift me to the hospital close to my house i was lying in bed thinking about everything i went through so far with a nurse came to me it started to change my saline i said in a feeble voice um can you please thank the nurse from last night she helped me but i was so weak that couldn't thank her the nurse looked at me with a confused face and said um okay actually it's tough to identify without knowing their names if you could tell me her name i will surely pay your regards to her i forgot to ask her name last night so i felt really awkward the day nurse fed me the lunch and left i slept for some time more when i opened my eyes and noticed the sky from the window i realized i slept through the entire evening i looked at the clock and saw it was 8 pm i was thinking to call someone when i heard a familiar voice as i looked at the cabin door i saw the nurse from last night standing there and smiling at me her vividly painted red lips made her look really creepy but she said how are you feeling today jack i smiled and said better sorry i forgot to thank you last night for helping me with the water she didn't let me finish my sentence and said it's our job what is there to think about she then slowly walked into my room and sat on the couch she picked up a magazine and started to read it just like last night i kept lying there without saying anything more after a while another nurse entered the room the nurse started to arrange my bed and put a table on it she then looked at me and said it's dinner time now the second nurse kept working on her own while the night nurse sat on the couch quietly and read her magazine i guess that she is probably the head nurse and thus she visits the patients to see if they are being taken care of or not without any single doubt the arrangement and treatment of the hospital felt really nice to me i had my dinner and all this time none of the nurses spoke a single word to each other one of the junior nurses left the room i asked what's your name ma'am this time the nurse put down the magazine and looked at me she smiled at me and i noticed her crooked tooth she replied everyone calls me nurse belford she then got up and left the room her behavior felt a bit odd to me because she just used to come to my cabin and sit there many times at night i woke up from my sleep and saw her sitting on the couch watching me whenever our eyes met she used to smile in a very creepy way one morning the junior nurse came with my breakfast i told her how come nurse belford never visits me during the daytime the nurse spilled the juice on the food tray as if i have asked something terrifying she then looked at me and i noticed drops of sweat on her forehead she said in a low voice how do you know about nurse belford i replied in a confused voice um because she comes to visit me almost every night i just felt a bit weird that she never comes during the daytime hence i asked the nurse asked me you mean you actually saw her inside your room i replied in an irritated tone of course what kind of question is that she was here when you came with dinner last night didn't you see her sitting on the couch the nurse got all freaked out and said listen to me very carefully this is your last night at this hospital you must do as i say if nurse belford comes to visit tonight and asks you to go with her somewhere you must not get out of this bed just call any of us or rather scream but don't go with her i got completely freaked out with whatever she just told me i said in a worried voice what what is this all about the nurse then replied in a scared voice nurse belford committed suicide last year in this hospital some of us still see her roaming around the corridors at night previously she sometimes walks up to a young male patient and asks them to come with her we have found three dead patients whose deaths were not natural at all people say she had an affair with a man less than her age the man eventually broke her heart and since then her haunting spirit tries to take revenge on young men who come here my head was throbbing in pain i couldn't believe all this time i was talking to a dead person i didn't know what to do i can't leave this hospital before morning i have already put everyone in enough trouble so i decided to sleep through the entire night the nurse stayed with me till midnight but she had two other patients to attend as it was a small hospital she left and told me to lay on my bed and to keep my eyes closed i kinda dozed off but around three am i heard a squeaky voice calling my name jack open your eyes jack i have a surprise for you goosebumps appeared on my skin my heart started to beat like a wild horse i didn't open my eyes i realized it was nurse belford but i still didn't react then i heard footsteps going out of the room after lying on the bed like that for a few more seconds i finally opened my eyes the room was dark but the moonlight from the window gave a clear view there was no one in my room i heaved a sigh of relief and turned to the left side of my bed thinking finally it's all over now as soon as my head turned to the left i saw nurse belford placing her head on my bed and staring at me with angry evil eyes her face was looking [ __ ] scary blood was dripping from her red lips her eyes were so big that it could see into my soul she then said in a horrifying voice you think you can't ignore me like that i was the one who took care of you and now this is how you treat me she then opened her mouth and clouds of black flies came out of it the sound of those flies made my ears known i felt like these flies were going to choke me and i won't live to see the sun in the morning i screamed as loud as possible the doctor and the junior nurse rushed into my room and switched on the cabin light the doctor thought i had some kind of panic attack the nurse stayed in my room till morning when my brother came i didn't speak a single word to him i came back to my house that day but even still now when i close my eyes i feel scared thinking what if i see nurse belford sitting beside my bed riley started late from her friend's house her feet stumbled as she walked on the sidewalks she went to attend a party and got really drunk the street light stood on the empty roads there was no one around her her house is still 30 minutes away from here she somehow stopped under a street light and decided to book an uber for a safe journey home with gloomy eyes and hazy vision she booked a cab the cabin number read 2009. riley waited for a few minutes she looked around her the wind and the silence of the night spooked her a bit she thought to herself i should have listened to casey it was a bad idea to leave for home tonight all kinds of tense thoughts were going through her mind when a pair of headlights appeared from the end of the road a white-colored uber kept coming towards her riley immediately gestured with her hand and the uber stopped right in front of her she was so drunk that the bright headlights of the car made her vision even more blurry she saw the number two zero zero oh yes this is it and got into the cab the cab driver looked at the rear view mirror and said where will you go riley replied 21 imr street just drive faster the driver had a weird smile on his face he started the car and replied as you wish riley closed her eyes and sat for a few minutes she started to feel a bit fine as she opened her eyes she saw they weren't on the highway anymore the car is now going through an old dusty road she got a bit tensed and said hey which road is this the car driver smiled and said i took a shortcut madam don't worry riley checked the gps and there was indeed a connecting road at some distance from this one the driver started to chat with her so you live alone huh the driver said riley replied yeah she was trying to keep the conversation as short as possible but it seemed like the driver was hitting on her the driver then said something which ran a shiver down her spine you know a beautiful girl like you should not roam at the streets at night all by herself haven't you heard of the incidents that are happening these days riley suddenly remembered what her friend sarah told her at the party they were all sitting on the couch and having drinks when sarah said have you guys heard about the slit throat killer everyone got surprised including riley sarah went on saying that for the last couple of days atlanta cops have said to have discovered three bodies from the highways it seemed like someone slit their throats and dumped their bodies in the bushes on the high road the cops have no idea who did this but they are suspecting that there might be a serial killer roaming the streets at night luring people into traps and slicing their throats all three bodies were found on abandoned empty roads pointing out that when they were killed there wasn't anyone around the area riley got all tensed and immediately got charged up but the horror was yet to unfold in front of her she received a notification from her uber app until now she closed the app after getting into the car the notification read you have been charged for the cancelled booking riley opened the app and realized she is stepping into grave danger car number 2009 waited for her at the pickup location for almost 15 minutes but as she didn't show up there the driver just canceled the ride and left if her ride has been canceled then who was this person driving her right now riley's stomach dropped in fear she couldn't speak or say a single word there is no point of screaming right now because there wasn't a single human being nearby she can't call someone in front of this guy asking for help riley knew this man took her into his car with bad intentions is he the slit throw killer everyone was talking about at the party oh my god drops of sweat appeared on her forehead riley calmed herself down the only way she can get out of this situation alive is if she uses her brain the man looked at her from the rearview mirror and asked are you all right madam raleigh smiled and said yeah i'm fine how long will it take the man replied in a cold voice not much longer the man's reply felt like something is about to happen at any moment now riley was praying to god to save her from this unknown guy and his evil intentions reilly said to the driver keeping her voice as calm as possible um what were you talking about back then the driver said oh you mean the slit throw killer interesting guy huh then the man chuckled riley said interesting the cops are going to catch that killer soon they have already found his victims bodies the driver laughed this time and replied madam the cops found his victims because he wanted them to people like this are insane you can't spot them out even if they come right in front of you they wear masks to fool you the more the driver spoke about this serial killer riley's heart started to beat faster but suddenly the car started to jerk hugely and the driver pulled the brake the car stopped making a loud noise the driver got out of the car and lifted the hood to check the engine riley sat inside quietly the driver then came close to her window and said i think there has been some issue in the engine wait inside as i check it out riley knew the end was near the man has probably stopped the car on his own and is now making this all up it's high time and riley needs to act the man again went in front of the car riley could hear the metal sound coming from behind at the car bonnet she slowly opened the car door grabbing her bag in her hand then tiptoed to the back of the car there were vast empty fields on one side and deep woods on the other side of the road the driver said looks like we have to think of some other option madam i don't think this car will start tonight if you don't mind my house is nearby we can go there and call the mechanics so this is why this guy took this road riley thought to herself this guy wants to lure her into the woods now and murder her like his three other victims riley didn't respond she stood at the back of the car as silently as possible raleigh knew this is her only chance she started to hear footsteps approaching her with every step coming close to her riley slid to the opposite direction by the time the driver reached behind the car riley went to his side the driver got shocked as he realized riley was missing he said in a confused voice madam madam just then he heard riley's voice behind him yes what is it riley said in a firm voice her eyes were wide and big the driver got spooked for a moment he then said um we can walk to my house and call for a mechanic riley smirked and replied you are not my ride no i booked a cab at number 2009 your cab is 2006. the cab driver smiled awkwardly and said well you asked for a lift and i could use some extra cash so i thought i'd drive you but i took a wrong shortcut please don't call the cops on me madam riley looked at him and said for a moment i thought you were the slit throat killer the man laughed awkwardly and said no madam i am definitely not that creepy guy please believe me riley laughed and said you are wrong again it's not a he but a she the driver spoke in a terrified face what riley took out her shining knife and lifted her hand her innocent face turned into a devil she smiled in a horrible way and sliced the driver's throat with one slash the man felt lifeless on the floor while choking on his own blood she then washed her hands with a water bottle inside her bag she always carries water with her it is better to wash off the blood immediately before it dries out on her skin she pushed the body in the ditch nearby the dusty road with a kick the high road is five minutes walk from there she reached the highway and booked herself an uber this time it was 12 o'clock at night riley got inside the car and said to the driver drive me home i feel tired next day the news flashed new body found near an old dusty road at the town outskirt cops are saying this is the fourth victim of the slit throw killer the victim was an uber driver probably coming home that night as he had no bookings in the record it seems like the killer stopped his car and lured him into his trap like every other victim the senior commissioner of police has said they are going to catch this man very soon and put him behind bars for the rest of his life riley sipped from her coffee cup and gave an evil smile as she watched the news sitting on her living room couch [Music] this happened last month i am a 26 year old male living in atlanta i took a side job as an uber driver i worked morning shift in a garage so that i can drive uber at night i prefer the uber night shift because of less traffic anyways one night i was finishing up a trip nearby the city mall around 8 30. it was a long summer night i decided to take one more trip and go home to enjoy my weekend in peace i waited near the mall to get another trip request but i kept waiting for 10 or 15 minutes and nothing happened being disappointed i thought to call it a day and return home i lived in a small cabin at the outskirts i took the highway and started to drive home i put on some music and opened the car window a cool breeze came in and gave me some relief i lit a cigarette and kept driving in a light mood i couldn't wait to return home and sleep till noon the next day everything was going fine until i reached near the highway tunnel imr highway has a huge tunnel that connects the city with the outskirt area i was almost near the tunnel due to the roads being completely empty i was driving a bit faster i was almost 10 to 15 hands distance from entering the tunnel when a man sprinted right in front of my car from the bushes i pushed the brake so hard that the car stopped making the tire screech loudly i got extremely scared thinking i might have hurt that guy my eyes kept searching for that man but he was nowhere to be found suddenly i hand grasped my shoulder from the window at first i was scared like hill but then i got my [ __ ] together and looked out the window i saw a man in his late 30s panting and gasping for air he said in a broken voice please help me please i realized he is in danger or something similar i asked him what is it why are you freaking out like this the man looked here and there as if someone is out there looking for him he then said in a whispering voice they are searching for me please you must help me i got out of the car and looked around being honest there wasn't a single creature nearby the wide empty highway was filled with the sounds of crickets chirping i stared at the tunnel to check if someone was there the long hollow tunnel had nothing but yellow lights in it i asked the man who are you searching for the man said in a terrifyingly low voice the shadow people they want me dead i was out of my mind at that time i didn't know what the hell this guy was talking about i said is this some kind of a sick joke cause i'm really not in the mood right now the man got inside the car he sat in the driver's seat and said just drive we must leave this place right now they're coming i got into the car cluelessly i told the man let me call 9-1-1 for you see my house is on the other side of the tunnel you can wait in my car until they arrive the man then took out a knife from his pocket and held it near my throat he screamed at me and said just [ __ ] drive i'm not gonna die at the hand of those shadow people i didn't know what to do then i was stronger than the guy i would have knocked him out immediately if the knife wasn't pointed at me i said in a low but firm voice listen let's just relax i will drive you wherever you can just take the knife down the man started screaming again looks like you have no fear of death if you don't drive right now before he could finish the sentence he looked at the back of the car and became numb he was staring like a statue i asked what is wrong with you there is no such thing called shadow people stop this insanity and let me call 9-1-1 for help the man then said oh my god they are watching us now i turned around to see what the hell he was talking about looking at the back side of the car i knew it was something made up by his crazy mind but as i looked my heart dropped into my stomach who are these people where did they come from i swear guys there was a group of black shadows standing on the road nothing was visible except darkness on their entire body the man said now do you believe me drive drive i said in a panicked voice what the hell who are these people why do they look like that the man said they're all dead and now they want my soul the group started to walk towards our car i can't explain the horror because even if there were 10 to 12 people not a single step taken by their foot made a sound it felt like they were all kind of floating on the air instead of walking i tried to start the car engine but suddenly it didn't start i tried again and again but nothing happened i was completely shocked by how the car suddenly got stuck like this the man said in a panicked voice they're coming now please do something i twisted the car key one last time and finally the car started i pressed the accelerator and the car picked up speed we drove into the tunnel at full speed i looked in the rearview mirror and there was no one behind us i made up my mind to reach home and call 9-1-1 to hand over this freak i was almost close to getting out of the tunnel just when a group of black shadows appeared from the air and blocked the exit i hit the brakes and stopped in front of the group but this time i didn't turn off the engine it was hard for me to believe what i was seeing there were no faces no color only black figures standing at some distance from the car the man then screamed and said why don't you leave me alone and started to sob like a child what happened next still gives me chills to this day the group suddenly opened up all their eyes at the same time now there were black shadows with huge wide eyes their eyes were blood red and their pupils were pale white i have never seen such horrifying guys in my entire life they all looked at the man beside me and made terrifying grounds for a second it felt like we were being hunted by a pack of wolves i broke free from my numbness and pressed the accelerator once again the car drove into the black shadow group and we passed through them as air blew upon us as we made it out of the tunnel i finally saw red and blue lights coming from the other side i saw three or four cop cars i didn't call for 9-1-1 yet but i was out of all senseless and rational thinking i was in one word exhausted the man in the car was still sobbing and muttering please let me go leave me alone i know what i faced that night might seem like a made-up story to some but if you believe me then i do have a rational explanation behind that vicious night the cops came and arrested the man they told me he is convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for mass murder in a cathedral he broke out of prison a few hours back but it's still really shocking to his state of mind the cops took him back i later read about that man his name was peter shipman one sunday morning he entered a church with two of his followers after the prayer ceremony his followers locked the church door from the inside they shot seven men and five women who came to attend the prayer they robbed them and escaped the area i can't even imagine how vicious that scenario would be when he shot all those people and left their bodies drenched in blood but somehow one of his followers drove their car into a tree while escaping he died as his head bashed against the dashboard of the car the man and his other follower ran away cops arrested the man under a dirty bridge he was muttering shadow people killed my partners the body of the second follower was seen floating on the river near the bridge investigating officers claimed that the man killed the other partner to acquire the entire share but if you ask me i think it was those people's haunting spirits who took revenge on these three men i have started day shifts in uber now i have decided to stay home at night for a couple of months to get over this unnatural incident i don't know when i'll be able to go out at night again without the fear of shadow people this happened last year on valentine's day i'm a 35 year old male i was working in an i.t company where i met a girl she joined the office as a fresher and started working under me as a trainee her name was melissa everyone used to call her molly i've been an introvert since childhood due to my reserve nature i hardly approach girls even if i like someone but molly was completely opposite of me she was outgoing and extremely extrovert anyways due to her training we used to spend most of the time together in the office she was a bit younger than me i kinda liked her carefree nature because it made me feel happy with her one day gathering all my courage i asked her on a date with me i was expecting a refusal or sudden news that she already had a boyfriend but instead she accepted she told me that she always had her eye out for me but due to my reserve nature feared to approach me we started going out and eventually i shared many things with her about my life people in the office started to pull my legs whenever molly and i were spotted together by them we ignored them because we were having a nice time with each other one day we went to the pub for a couple of drinks after office molly got really drunk and she stayed at my place that day the next day was sunday so i woke up late i was going to take a shower when i heard sounds in the kitchen at first i thought someone broke in so i tiptoed into the kitchen and saw molly cooking breakfast she smiled at me and said i'm making french toast i hope you like it i got a bit surprised because i wasn't expecting her to stay till morning after that day things took a different turn in our relationship molly started to stay back at my place every now and then i won't deny that i really liked her but sometimes i used to feel out of space in my life one evening i came back home from the office molly took the day off that day as i went to unlock my door i found it already open after entering i saw molly was watching tv laying at my couch she smiled like usual and asked me how my day went i was really awestruck this time i asked her how did you get my keys to which she replied i made a copy for myself i hope it's okay i wanted to tell her it's not but i chose not to i should have told her that day i know anyways she stayed the night like every other day i was going through an important file in office when one of my colleagues came to my room and said congratulations robert you owe us a party like a completely clueless person i stood there with a blank face i came out of my office and noticed a small crowd of office people standing near molly's desk surrounding her she was smiling and blushing like a teenage girl i thought it would be rude to ask her in front of everyone so i confronted her when she was alone in the cafeteria i said molly what the hell is going on she smiled and said nothing i just told everyone that we were a couple and are soon to be engaged i know it was rude of me but i laughed because i couldn't believe my ears i said what i never said anything like that to you i mean no offense but i think i need more time before coming to a decision like that i expected molly to react in an angry way but i never expected she would cross her limits that day i was after all her senior but she suddenly turned all pissed off and started to scream at me saying oh really you didn't take time to think that before jumping into bed with me now i already said i'm an introverted person so the way molly started a scene creating people gathered near the cafeteria i was highly embarrassed and humiliated i had to take a stand for myself too because when a woman makes a comment like that about a man in a public place the general outcome is people identify as the man at fault without even listening to his side i looked at her with angry eyes and replied molly i never forced you onto anything you only stole my house keys and made a copy of it you only started to stay back at my apartment even though i never asked you to i liked you and wanted to spend more time with you so that we could know each other well but i think i have known you enough now let's just cut off from whatever's going through your mind i would prefer my freedom and peace more than anything in this world sorry but i can't go on with this i stormed out of the office that day i changed my house locks the next day because i didn't want any more troubles a week had passed and molly avoided me and i felt relieved that we had moved past the bitterness and can be on our own now our office held a party to celebrate valentine's day molly asked a guy named sean from the tech department as her date to the party whether she was trying to make me jealous or maybe actually moved on i didn't know i asked one of my colleagues also as my date for the party the party was happening at the office rooftop the decorations of the party was perfectly themed on valentine's day big red hearts balloons all over the place there was even a small fountain pouring champagne in the right side everyone was dressed at their best i saw molly getting really drunk and dancing with her date i sat down with some of my colleagues and started to drink too things were going well then we heard a terrible scream i sprung up from my chair and everyone started to panic i recognized the scream it was molly's voice it took time to figure out that she was not in the party we all started looking for her and found out she was screaming from the ladies washroom we all rushed towards her as we reached the washroom we saw a vicious sight sean was lying on the hallway right near the doorstep of the washroom his head was bleeding heavily at first we all thought he was dead but then one of our colleagues checked him and said call an ambulance we can still save them molly was sitting on the corner of the floor and sobbing like a little girl sean got admitted to the hospital immediately everyone asked molly about what happened she looked at me and started crying even louder i went close to her and hugged her then i asked what happened she said shawn tried to take advantage of her and started forcing her out of fear she hit him in the head with her beer bottle everyone at the office felt bad for her and i took her to my place that night i thought she is already in enough trauma so i can show her some compassion that night after that day molly again started to get close to me i won't deny that out of sympathy i kind of grew a soft corner for her too shawn was still in the hospital and the office decided to file a harassment case against him i don't know why something just didn't seem right molly was happy and jolly again in no time one day i was walking through the same hallway where we found sean i noticed a security camera there and an idea came to my mind i immediately rushed to the security room and asked for footage of the valentine's day party as i checked the footage my suspicion became true i saw molly walking with sean in the corridor and suddenly she lifted her beer bottle and struck him on the head you can now guess what happened after that i submitted those tapes to the official authority not only they gave shawn a clean [ __ ] but also fired molly sean even filed a complaint against her to the cops but molly has suddenly disappeared last night i received a text from an unknown number that reads all i did for you robert you broke my heart i will come back to get my revenge till then much love darling i know it's definitely from molly i called the cops and informed them about the text in the morning i don't know if i'll ever see her again but molly if you're watching this stay the hell away from me you are a disgusting person and don't you dare threaten me this time hi my name is cindy i recently got out of therapy something happened a few months back that made my life miserable i can't hardly sleep eat or do any normal thing no matter where i go a sense of fear always stood at the back of my neck i stay in canada the locality where i live has a huge park at five to seven minutes distance from my house people often went there for morning workouts or calm evening walk similarly when i felt stressed due to work or any other reason i made a habit of going to that park for a walk due to its huge area one could enjoy a peaceful time in the park easily one evening i was walking through the park at some distance i noticed a huge tree with long branches the tree is not the only thing that caught my eyes i also noticed someone lying on the ground right under a long branch of that tree at first it looked like a shiny metal thing but when i got close i saw it was a cell phone i looked around me thinking someone might have dropped it while walking but at that time i was the only one in that particular area of the park like a good citizen i picked up the phone and decided to submit it to the cops on my way home the cell phone was like any other android phone it had a black body and no extra feature that could stand out for identification i was walking towards the police station while checking the phone i didn't want to pry on anyone's privacy but for a better understanding of the owner i swiped the lock and the phone opened there was no picture on it even the contact list was empty it startled me a bit that there's literally nothing in this phone that can lead to its owner i was going to lock the screen and put it back in my bag just when i saw a few recorded videos stored in the tick tock app i could tell that the owner recorded three videos to upload to tick-tock but somehow didn't i was almost near the police station but out of curiosity i thought to go home and look at these videos first i know it was that moment that made my life miserable i got home and freshened up i lied on my bed and played the first tick tock video from the cell phone as the video began an average heidi guy appeared on the screen he was seen walking around the park he didn't say anything just kept walking after walking for a few more seconds he reached near the tree where i found the phone he looked up at the branch and the video ended there my curiosity grew more and i moved on to the next video in the next video the camera stood still featuring a messy bedroom then the same man entered the room with a wide rope in his hand i was completely clueless about what was happening in these videos but i kept watching anyway now i felt i could have stopped at the end of the second video the man looked at the camera and said whoever is watching this i will find you and the video ended things started to feel very creepy now i could tell that that man was on drugs or something because his behavior didn't appear normal to me i lied on my bed blankly i thought for a few seconds should i play the last video or not but then i did the last video started on the park again it was dark all around and the video was recorded in night mode the cell phone was kept on something maybe a rock or a piece of wood lying on the ground it captured the tree branch and the starry sky above it there was no sign of the man when suddenly a rope was thrown on the tree branch i realized that the guy was tying the wide rope on the branch at first it took me a few seconds to understand what he was up to but when i did my stomach dropped he tied the rope into a noose then he looked at the camera again and smiled in a very bizarre way i could hear him climbing on the tree after that my heart started to race like a horse i thought to myself is he really going to commit suicide but before i could hold that thought allow loud sound of a neck snapping took place and i saw the man's foot dangling in the air i screamed and threw the phone away i sat on the bed for at least five to ten minutes thinking about what just happened what did i just witness after some time i got my [ __ ] together and picked up the cell phone my hands were still shaking i kept the phone inside of my bag and decided to go to the cops first thing in the morning i get highly disturbed after watching these videos somehow i went to the kitchen and started making dinner i was making fries when suddenly i felt someone was standing behind me and watching me i immediately turned around but there was no one the corridor leading to my kitchen was dark and empty i already locked my doors and windows after getting home so i was pretty sure that it's the video that is creeping me out i finished my dinner and went straight to bed i had enough for that day so all i wanted was to sleep and get rid of that cell phone the next morning i don't know how long i slept but suddenly i felt a touch of wind on my face i slowly opened my sleepy eyes and saw a dark face with two wide bright eyes leaning on me the face was literally breathing on me and i could feel the warm breath i got stuck at that moment didn't know what to do or what was actually happening i have never seen such wide eyes in my entire life i thought at that moment that i would die right now but suddenly my phone rang and i turned on my left side it was an alarm going off and i noticed it's 4 am already i turned back in a rush and realized there was no one around me i looked all over the apartment but there was no sign of any person i heaved a sigh of relief because it was just a bad dream i blamed myself for bringing that cell phone home and watching those bizarre videos i couldn't sleep anymore i waited till morning i kept drinking black coffee just to keep me awake there was no way i was falling asleep while that cell phone is still in my house around 10 am i got ready and went to the police station two cops were sitting inside seeing me in such early hours surprised them a little one cop said yes ma'am how can we help you i handed him the cell phone and said please take it i found it in the park and i know i shouldn't have but i did go through it and it has made my life a living hell i mean i was fumbling and panting in fear the other cop gave me a glass of water and said male please sit down take a deep breath and tell us what happened i did what he said and calmed myself down then i explained the entire scenario of how a man has recorded his suicide in the form of tick-tock videos on this cell phone i told them that i found this phone under the same tree where he committed suicide the cops exchanged surprised looks among each other and then one of them took the phone and started to check it the other cop went through the computer on his desk and said but ma'am there are no reports of suicide happening in that park so far i was surprised to hear it but didn't say anything i was feeling utterly disturbed by all that happened the cops kept asking me more questions about when i found that phone etc while the other one kept searching the phone after a while i got up and said i just want to go home now i had enough can't take this anymore the cop who was asking me questions replied yes i can understand the impact of such a weird incident don't worry you'll be fine i was ready to leave just with the other cop who was checking the phone all this time got up and said stop i got shocked and said what happened the cop had a worried face he asked in a hesitant voice um ma'am you said when you found this phone it had only three pre-recorded tick-tock videos and nothing else right i replied with a confused face yes like i said the guy who recorded those videos maybe to upload later on tick tock but why do you ask the cop didn't answer my question and showed the phone to the other cop both of their faces got filled with worries and i said can you please tell me what's going on the cop replied ma'am i think we should come with you and check on your house i was completely shocked by hearing this why do they need to check my house but before i could say something they asked me do you live alone i replied yes i do but officer why are you asking me such weird questions what does me staying alone have anything to do with his cell phone the cop then showed the phone to me along with the videos there was also a photograph on that phone the photo was taken last night at my own house in that photo i was sleeping like a dead cat i stay alone i was all by myself in the house last night then who the hell took my picture i have changed my house even though the cops searched it back then i attended therapy because something deep down in my heart keeps telling me that dark face with wide eyes wasn't just a dream i had that night i'm not a judgmental person but this one encounter has scarred me for life i am selena i work in a restaurant i share an apartment with a colleague of mine her name is tina tina and i both met at work fortunately we were both looking for a place and it was helpful to split the rent working at a restaurant can be hectic sometimes after long tiresome days none of us had the energy to cook dinner or even go out for it so we used to order food whenever we felt this way one night after coming from work tina and i decided to order pizza there was a local pizza shop at 15 to 20 minutes distance from our house the shop has opened recently so tina and i both decided to try pizza from there i called the shop and placed our order we started to prepare for a movie night after half an hour our doorbell rang i rushed to the door because i was feeling really hungry as i opened the door i saw a pizza delivery guy standing outside he was wearing the delivery costume the cap on his head was covering half of his face he said in a cold voice your pizza man tina came and started to pay the guy i don't know why this guy's behavior felt very off to me as i went to take the pizza boxes from him he weirdly touched my hand and brushed off his fingers on my wrist it happened so quickly and unexpectedly that i couldn't react at that moment the man looked at me and smirked in a very creepy way we closed the door and he left i didn't speak about it to tina we watched a horror movie and ate pizza around 12 of that night we went to sleep the living room and kitchen area are in the middle of the apartment our bedrooms stood facing each other from my bedroom window the entire view of the backyard was clearly visible there was a big tree close to my window i liked the moonlight in the room so i often slept without closing the curtains i was really tired that night and the next day was a sunday so i planned to sleep till late morning i don't clearly remember how long i slept but suddenly a sound woke me up the sound was like leaves rubbing against each other i slowly opened my eyes and looked around my room the moonlight made my room clearly visible even in the dark i didn't see anyone in the room i thought it might be birds or wind creating this rusty sound so i closed my eyes and tried to sleep again but this time i heard the sound one more time the sound was a bit louder this time i got up on the bed and my eyes accidentally went to the tree outside i don't know how to explain this but at that moment i realized what people mean by fear in real life there was a dark shadow sitting on the branch of the tree i was sure it was a man but due to the bushy leaves i could only see his two wide eyes i have never seen such a scary blood freezing stare our eyes met and i couldn't move anymore i wanted to scream but i couldn't i felt like the cat got my tongue drops of sweat started to appear on my forehead the eyes kept looking at me without even blinking for a second frozen in fear i kept sitting on my bed like a statue suddenly i heard an owl hooting from that tree and broke free from that state of trance i screamed in a loud voice and within a second tina came rushing to my room she opened the door of my room and turned on the light i was breathing heavily i heard a sound of a loud thud like someone jumped from the tree being confused with my behavior tina asked in a panic voice what is it selena why did you scream i said in a sobbing tone someone was sitting in the tree and watching me sleep i started to cry tina took out the flashlight and opened the window she then searched the entire tree but there was no one she said in a comforting voice i think you just had a bad dream selena look there's no one there i said in the same sobbing tone no you don't understand i saw his eyes his vicious creepy eyes were staring at me all the time tina comforted me for a while and put me back to sleep she closed the window and pulled the curtains i somehow went back to sleep tina got back to her room i felt like she didn't believe me and thought i actually drinked all of this but i was really sure that someone was sitting in the tree and watching me sleep the next morning when i woke up and went to the living room i saw tina shouting at someone over the phone it took me some time to realize what she was saying as i listened to her attentively the hair at the back of my neck stood up in terror tina was telling someone how can you be so irresponsible you should have called us once last night i'm calling the cops this is utterly terrifying for us she then disconnected the phone and sat beside me with a terrifying face i asked her what happened tina she replied in a freaked out voice i went to the backyard to check after you said someone broke in last night i found this cap under the tree she showed me the cap she picked up from the backyard it was that same cap the creepy pizza guy wore last night my face turned pale as i realized he watched me for god knows how long sitting in that tree i said what the [ __ ] we should inform the cops about this guy and also call the pizza shop they can give us details on this guy tina pressed my hand and said i don't want to scare you selena but i just got some very bizarre news from them i called the pizza shop to complain about their employee but what they told me has scared me too my eyes got stuck in fear i said in a shaken voice why what did they say tina replied the pizza shop told me that they sent the delivery guy to deliver the pizza at our address but the guy never reached our place or the shop someone knocked him out midway and stole his jacket and cap the shop thought the guy must have delivered us and left for home but when he didn't show up in the morning they called the cops the cops have found the poor guy lying unconscious in a dingy alley nearby no one has the minimum idea who was the guy that delivered our pizza last night i couldn't believe my ears tina and i immediately rushed to the police station we saw the actual delivery guy with a bandage over his head he was sitting there and telling the cops about what happened to him i also told the cops how the creepy impostor behaved with me last night i even told them how he kept watching me in the middle of the night from the tree the cops are still looking for this man we have described his face to the cops for identification i don't know what his problem was but creepy [ __ ] up dude who injured an innocent man and scared two women to death may we never meet again i am miley from australia this happened when i was studying in high school our school used to arrange field trips for students of every batch the field trips varied on the subject teacher who was in charge of it for example our history teacher often took us to archaeological sites or museums almost every student took part because field trips carried good grades and it was more exciting than any boring lecture my friend corey and i decided to attend an upcoming field trip our teacher miss williams gave us a form and told us to bring it back with our parents signature on it by tomorrow the destination of the field trip was lake mungo for those who aren't aware of this venue let me give you a brief idea of this place lake mungo is a dry lake located in new south wales australia the lake is the central feature of mungo national park and is one of 17 lakes in the world heritage many important archaeological finds have been made at the lake most significantly the discovery of remains of mungo man and mungo woman the oldest human remains in the world to be ritually cremated the night before the field trip corey stayed with me after dinner we went to my room and started to finish packing cory suddenly said do you know there are rumors of that place carrying bad omens i looked at her with surprise eyes and said stop talking like a freak she laughed and said no it's true i read about the place this is probably the most ancient burial ground in the world so far i said yeah i heard that too why is miss williams even taking us to dead people's land i mean there are so many other places to see cory mocked me and said why you scared butterfly it started to laugh i rolled my eyes and didn't reply to her nonsense my mom came upstairs and said have fun on your field trip girls now get some sleep you will have to wake up early tomorrow we chatted for a few more minutes and then fell asleep the next morning we got onto the school bus and our journey began the vast empty fields surrounded by small brown hills was quite a sight to watch i slowly rode down my window and cool air refreshed my mind other students were making jokes and pulling each other's legs but suddenly corey again brought up the topic of how mongol lake is haunted by ancient demons and everyone got busy talking about that i on the other hand was feeling really irritated with this baseless discussion so i plugged in my earphones and started to enjoy the ride the sunlight wasn't too bright that day a partially clouded sky made the weather ideal for a thunderstorm i heard miss williams tell our bus driver we need to hurry i don't want them to stay over after dark we reached our destination around 3 p.m even though it was afternoon the dark clouds surrounded the entire sky and the sun disappeared into them miss williams started to tell us about the historical records of this place everyone took notes on their own for their project groups of people went on exploring the place on their own it was a deserted land no one would believe that this place used to be a lake at some time corey and i ventured on our own i was looking around trying to find something unique when an area caught my eyes the place was filled with huge rocks scattered here and there i saw a rock about 10 to 15 hands distance from me the reason why i caught my attention was the graffiti mate on it i told corey i'll be back in some time she went to another group of girls saying okay don't go too far i then walked towards the rock as soon as i reached near it i saw tribal human figures were drawn on it the drawings no doubt felt ancient after looking at them carefully i realized these aren't some random drawings there was a story in them a group of people seemed to worship a stone-like figure the figure had no shape except it was red in color then the stone started to reflect light in the next sequence of the drawings at the last one the people lied on the ground dead while a black wind seemed to go into the stone obviously i didn't understand what it was but i knew they were performing some kind of ritual i was thinking to ask miss williams about it when suddenly a flash of lighting struck in the distance raindrops started to fall from the sky and everyone decided to head back i ran towards the bus and we started for home after coming back home i made a sketch of that drawing from my imagination so that i can show it to our history teacher the next day next day when i reached school i saw corey standing in the hallway while three girls gathered around her she was showing something to them with her bright eyes i walked towards the group and noticed corey holding something in her palm i asked in a curious voice what's going on here corey said look what i found yesterday and showed her palm to me as soon as i witnessed the thing in her hand the hair of the back of my neck stood up it was a small red stone exactly like the one in the drawings from the lake i said you shouldn't have taken this from the site cory corey said relax this is just a rock i'm going to make a chain and wear it i just thought it's pretty so i took it no one's going to send me to prison for stealing a useless rock miley i know it might seem i was overreacting but something in my heart kept telling me it wasn't just a rock i didn't say anything more to her because i knew she is not going to believe me anyway during recess i went to miss william she was sitting in the classroom working on her own i said in a low voice miss williams can i come in she looked at me over her glasses and said why aren't you at the cafeteria eating lunch i smiled awkwardly and said um yeah i just ate i actually have something to ask you she said sit down what is it i showed her my copy and explained everything she took a good look at my drawings and appreciated me for having an identic memory she then said in a serious voice according to my understanding i think this is a worship ritual but this is not just any ritual it's probably a cult ritual i looked at her with a confusing face and said um what does that mean miss william pointed to the drawings and said here you see this rock this is not just any rock this is a symbol of mungo's people's dark lord because in the next picture they are offering their souls to the dark lord which is why this rock start to enlighten and on the last picture it acquires their souls which are these black wind-like figures leaving them dead my head now started to throb in fear i said in a calm but shaken voice so what will happen if if a common man takes the stone with him she smiled and said well i can't say how far all of this is true but any object involved with ancient ritual is said to be cursed using that object from a layman's perspective or moving it away from its sight are said to cause huge trouble but why are you asking me this i changed the topic saying nothing it's just something came to mind that day while going home after school i told corey listen you must get rid of this stone corey i mean you were only saying the other day how haunted that place is don't you think taking something from that place can result in a bad omen let's just throw away the stone before it harms you in some way but suddenly corey's face changed her eyes went big and anger took over she said in a spying chilling voice this stone is mine now am i clear miley but you are not understanding corey this stone is cursed i saw the graffiti before i could finish corey pushed me onto the ground while making a devilish grunt i couldn't believe this was the same cory i knew i could see clearly what the stone was doing to her i watched her walk away after coming back home i tried many times to call and text her but she didn't respond the next morning my mom woke me up in her panicked voice miley miley wake up i woke up and saw my mom crying i asked her what's wrong mom what happened she replied in a sobbing voice your friend corey is no more miley she committed suicide last night her mom just called she was crying like hell we all rushed to corey's house and saw paramedics taking her body out on a stretcher her body was covered but i saw her hand dangling from it her lifeless pale hand kept hanging i noticed her hand closed into a tight fist but when they pushed her body inside the ambulance a thing fell on the road from her closed fist it was the red stone corey's mother told us she found corey lying on the floor she slashed her own throat with her kitchen knife they have no idea why she did that after coming home from school cory went to her room and never came out she even skipped her dinner that night they have no idea why she went to the kitchen and took the knife this all might seem like a coincidence but i knew it was the cursed stone that took her soul i picked up the stone from the ground and took it back to mungo lake the next day i couldn't find the site with the graffiti this time but i threw the red stone into the sand and came back i feel extremely sad that i couldn't save my friend from getting involved in an ancient curse this happened during my holiday at my grandmother's house after my mom died my grandma raised me i eventually moved out and started a life of my own but i still remained in touch with her i was pretty excited to visit her after a really long time i took my friends marco and tim with me on our way marco said so how is the area where your grandma stays i replied well she lives down the countryside there's a dense forest near that area it is quite famous amongst the local people tim asked in a curious tone what is so special about that forest i smirked and replied well there's a waterfall inside that forest marco said that's nothing special there are numerous waterfalls in this world i laughed and said that's quite true but this waterfall is unique on its own there's many stories regarding it grandma will tell you when we get there we get onto the refreshing country road the cool air calmed us and we drove our stress away after three hours of drive when we reached grandma's house we saw the sun was setting behind the trees as i honked the horn grandma opened the door and came to greet us i was excited and happy to see her for a long time i hugged her and said oh granny i missed you so much she caressed my hair and said i missed you too my dear come on let's get inside you boys must be hungry the house was still the same way i left it i sat on the couch my friend sat next to me granny gave us lemonade the amazing smell of delicious food was roaming all over the house i took my friends to my room they all brought their own sleeping bags after settling with their luggage we all freshened up and came downstairs the dining table was filled with tasty dishes granny cooked my favorite roasted chicken there was mashed potatoes fried vegetables and soup after such a long drive we were hungry like hell without wasting a single second we all jumped on the food after a delicious dinner we all sat in the living room granny sat down on her rocking chair and started knitting a muffler marco said in a hesitated voice um granny richard was telling us about a waterfall inside the forest nearby but he said there there are stories regarding it granny laughed and said oh richard already mentioned the waterfall i said tell them the stories you used to tell me as bedtime stories granny said in a low voice well there are many events that happened there local people have named it the suicide waterfall tim said in a surprised voice suicide waterfall that's a very unusual name what happened there granny said many years back there was a beautiful girl named layla she fell in love with a traveler the boy came here from the city they spent time together but one day the boy returned to his house and laila got heartbroken her father decided to marry her to a village boy out of anger and disgust she jumped from the waterfall her head bashed on the hard rock of the waterfall and she died after this incident five to seven suicides have taken place there local people believe layla's haunting spirit still roams there and pushes people to commit suicide tim and marco exchanged looks i could already tell they were a bit scared hearing the story but to put up a brave face marco said well this is just a scary story i guess i said in a sarcastic tone yeah maybe tim said what about we go there i mean tomorrow we have nothing else to do granny smiled and said i have never seen any ghosts there all these years though we called it a night and went to sleep the next morning we got up and started to prepare ourselves for our day out after lunch we three started to walk towards the forest by the time we reached the forest we realized how distant this area is for the locality birds were tweeting in the trees marco was making tick tock videos we were walking and enjoying the views around after 10 to 15 minutes tim said did you guys hear that i said yeah we're almost near the waterfall when we reached the waterfall our eyes were amazed with joy the waterfall was beautiful the sound of water churning echoed in the forest tim started taking pictures while marco came to us and said let's make a tick tock video who knows layla might accompany us too and started to laugh sarcastically we took a couple of videos with the waterfall in the background it was a fun time everything was going well when marco played the first video to check as soon as he played the video something weird happened along with the sound of nature and waterfall we heard a sobbing sound as if a woman is crying marco said did you hear that we listened closely again there was a crying sound someone was crying and gagging in pain tim said in a confusing tone play the next video as soon as marco played the second video we heard the sobbing again we all got freaked out it started to look around us the sun was setting already and darkness was taking place around us there was no one except the three of us marco said in a scared voice let's leave guys as we started to walk a woman's figure appeared in front of us from the bushes she was dressed like a village girl as she lifted her face we saw her head dripping blood a side of it was smashed as if something hit her head hard i couldn't believe my eyes since childhood i've come here many times but never have seen her we had no doubts it was layla's ghost standing in front of us tim said in a freaked out voice is this real marco and i couldn't reply our lips were sealed with an unknown fear layla started to laugh hysterically she then faced towards the waterfall and her laughter turned into painful sobbing in front of our very own eyes she jumped into the waterfall we heard a huge splash and everything got dead silent we started to run frantically tim fell down and broke his ankle marco and i carried him to the house our trip took a bad turn but somehow we managed to come back granny said we might have hallucinated in the darkness but i still have those tick tock videos whenever we play those videos we still hear leyla's cry playing in the background this is a true incident that disturbed me for a long time i was in high school back then one evening i went to one of my friend's houses for sleepover my friend thomas and i decided to go to a supermarket nearby to grab some beers thomas's parents were out of town so we kind of had the house to ourselves we planned to drink beer and watch a football match that night the supermarket was quite far from his house so we decided to call for an uber our ride arrived within 10 minutes and we hopped in the driver was polite and well behaved he seemed like a man in his late 30s he was wearing blue t-shirt and black trousers thomas started to chat with the guy eventually i was sitting quietly at the back seat while thomas was in the front being honest i didn't notice the man's face when we got into the car we booked the ride as a round trip after reaching the supermarket thomas went inside to get the booze while i stood outside the car waiting for his return the driver sat inside the car i lit a cigarette for the first time my eyes went to the rear view mirror i saw the man's face there was nothing odd about his face but as my eyes went to his neck i got a bit startled i saw deep scratch wounds on his neck as if someone scratched him really bad with long sharp nails the man suddenly noticed me watching his neck he immediately pulled his t-shirt collar up to hide them i thought he might have some pet at his house or whatever it is it's definitely none of my business thomas came back within a few minutes and we got into the car this time i noticed a change of behavior in the driver thomas again started to chat but the driver kept cutting the conversation short suddenly it felt like he was no longer interested in talking and just wanted to drop us off as soon as possible i was sure thomas felt weird too with this sudden change he then handed me the beers and said keep it in the back smith i took the plastic bags and i dropped it behind the back seat the car had a narrow space behind the seat i was on there was still 15 to 20 minutes to reach home so i started to scroll through my phone and silence took place inside the car everything was going well when suddenly the driver hit the brakes to avoid hitting a cat crossing the road it created a little jerk and i heard the bottles clink to each other i wanted to make sure that none of the bottles were broken so i decided to check the plastic bag but this time as i lifted the bag to see inside something unexpected happened i saw that the bottom of the plastic was wet with the liquid-like substance it was dark inside the car end i couldn't see clearly at first i placed my hand underneath and what i discovered gave me a hell of a shot the liquid was nothing but blood i was sure that the blood somehow came from the car itself so without attracting the driver's attention i switched on my phone's flashlight and tried to look at the narrow empty space behind what i saw made my skin crawl in fear a girl was tied and taped lying inside that empty space she was hit on the head with a heavy object which caused massive bleeding i accidentally put the bag on her face and thus her blood left a spot on the bag too i could tell from her still motionless body that she was dead now i understand why the driver had those scratch marks on his neck this man is a cold-blooded murderer he just murdered the girl and before he could get rid of her body he had to perform his duty to stay away from all kinds of suspicion so he probably hit her in this empty space the way her body was kept it made me immensely disturbed i mean anyone could barely fit there this man is a predator a freaking devil i realized i have to inform thomas about this alarming situation without letting this driver know that i've discovered this terrifying secret i texted thomas about the entire situation i saw his fingers trembling as he read my text he then looked at the driver he couldn't believe this man was capable of doing such evil thomas and i made a plan because no way are we letting this freak walk free after taking an innocent life the car took a left turn onto an adjacent street to the highway thomas said hey can you pull over for a sec i need to pee we wanted to make sure that the driver was unarmed so that we could tackle him and knock him out thomas got out of the car and went behind a bush near the tree time passed away but he didn't come back i saw the driver getting restless he turned to me and said where did your friend go call him i have to be somewhere after dropping you off i called thomas's phone and it rang inside the car i told him to leave the phone inside so that i could make my next move i said in a worried voice oh no seems like he forgot his phone here would you mind giving a check on him i saw him going towards the bush the driver reluctantly looked here and there then started to walk towards the bush as soon as the man went behind the car i jumped outside and hailed him by the neck the man grunted in surprise and thomas jumped from the bushes he tackled him and he started to throw kicks and punches like a jungle cat trapped in a cage then he took out a knife from his pocket and slipped my hand i wasn't at all ready for the sudden attack i screamed in pain as blood started to drip from my hand thomas kicked him between his legs from the front and the man fell on the ground in pain the knife from his hand dropped onto the floor thomas then punched him hard on the face the man passed out immediately and we heard police car sirens coming from a distance that night we couldn't watch the match but none of us regressed that for a second the cops came and took the man into custody they sent the girl's body for inspection we will feel sad forever that we couldn't save that girl later we came to know that this uber driver picked up this girl from the road the girl was a drug dealer the man tried to take advantage of her this would have led to a big argument and in the rage of the moment the man hit the girl with a rod he couldn't handle the fact that he had killed this girl he decided to get rid of her body after dropping us off i still think this man would have escaped if thomas and i didn't decide to man up about this situation that night we did something good and i want to tell everyone to step up whenever you see someone harassing a woman or a man in front of you if we decide wisely we could stop many bad incidents and stop various kinds of crime from happening the driver is now behind bars whenever i go out at night i keep my eye open now because the devil masks his face with the veil of innocence i am eva and this is my story i have a sister named ivy we have always been active kids since childhood we often took part in sports during high school my sister ivy is a professional gymnast needless to say she has a strong build and can be quite competitive to many grown-ups last year i applied to the same college where my sister is now a senior our father died when we were very young we have been raised by our grandparents and our mother ivy and i have always been the adventurous types i still remember when i was just five years old and ivy was seven we used to roam around on our own one night we went to the woods and a wild dog chased me instead of running away and crying out loud ivy and i scared it off by throwing stones at it we have always been a team but sometimes too much of curiosity can ruin your life this is exactly the kind of incident that taught both of us a lesson to remember forever on my first day of college i was super excited like every other young girl especially i was relieved to have my sister to watch my back our college was really big young boys and girls were roaming in the entire college with joyful faces and a heart full of dreams ivy introduced me to her friends and her boyfriend mark i made a couple of friends on my own too but during the weekends i like to hang out with my sister and her group similarly on saturday night ivy held a party at her place around 1 a.m all of her friends left for home her boyfriend mark asked if he should stay over but ivy said we are going to drink more and have some sister time mark smiled and said have fun you guys and don't do something dangerous ivy he left then i asked my sister why did he say that before leaving ivy laughed and said you know me eva i joked around a lot in my first years my friends even called me miss prankster we shared a laugh because ivy is actually like that we sat down on the couch and opened our beer bottles i shared how my friends were talking about the dark web a few days back i suddenly saw ivy's face lighting up with a smile she said hey eva want to play a game on the dark web i said in an awkward tone um what game she replied it's a treasure hunt game i've played this game once within my first year but this is a very grooving game basically after you log in the game will map your location then a clue will appear by solving each clue you will go ahead in the game at the final round after solving the last clue you will receive a coordinate that will lead you to your treasure it'll be a destination near your location we have to go there and look at the exact place instructed by the game and there we will find our treasure let's play it'll be fun i said in a suspicious voice did you guys actually find any treasure earlier ivy said in a low voice last time we found a coordinate leading us to an abandoned garage there we found one thousand dollars in an old tool box we have no idea who kept it even though those notes were rusty and old we exchanged them in a pawn shop and got brand new notes we drank a lot in the pub with cash being honest this game got me interested i mean it was a real life treasure hunt after all i immediately agreed to ivy and we decided to play the game together ivy logged into her laptop as she opened the game page a dark layout flashed in front of our eyes there was a human skull that had a tagline you will never be able to guess the treasure the game started with a man standing in a dark alley we had to move the character towards the end of the alley the end had a wooden door as we opened the door a small girl with a smashed face stood inside the room i must say even though it was game graphics at that time of the night the girl's face kind of creeped me out the girl was singing in a very spooky voice the music playing in the background added to the horror of this game the game was nothing like a normal treasure hunt it felt as if some code group has designed the game there were bizarre satanic signs made on the walls of the corridors not just the get up of the game but also the clues were hella scary for example a clue read the little girl who stares at you never sleeps when she cries her eyes bleed every clue reveals the other characters in the game and each game gave us a double digit number ivy told me note down this number these are the coordinates the game went on for half an hour more and we finally reached the last character which was a ram-like figure sitting on the throne it was probably satan himself i said this game is very weird i don't like at all the look of this game ivy smirked at me and said well sis this is the dark web not just some random pc gaming site ivy clicked on the last character and the ram like figure spoke in its demonic voice you have reached your end now it's time for your reward the last digit of the coordinate appeared on the screen and the game ended before ivy could log out from the page suddenly her laptop crashed she said in a surprised voice what the hell this didn't happen last time no matter how much we tried her laptop stopped responding i said in a scared voice some of my friends told me these dark websites are prone to virus attacks i don't think you should go there anymore ivy restarted the laptop but she couldn't find the game anymore anyways we turned it off and i said i'm tired now i better get some sleep ivy got up and said what do you mean you can't sleep now we have to go to the destination come on buckle up i looked at my watch it was 2 30 a.m at night i said in a test voice um ivy i don't think it's safe to go out to some unknown destination at this hour of the night ivy looked at me with her drunk eyes and said come on kiddo gather your [ __ ] together i had no other way than to go with my sister i knew she was not going to back out once she has made up her mind we hopped inside the car and ivy put the coordinates from the gate in our gps the destination was 15 minutes distance from our location for some extra info my sister's place is already in the outskirts of the city the location that popped up was taking us to some barren field-like area i was really worried thinking this can be some kind of a trap or god knows what so i secretly texted ivy's boyfriend mark who happened to live nearby our house luckily mark was still awake he texted me back saying he will reach there soon after a small bridge we came near an abandoned farmhouse there were vast fields around us and the old farmhouse stood like a haunted house from a freaking ghost movie ivy got out and lit up her flashlight i had no other choice than to follow her we locked the car and started to walk towards the farmhouse as soon as we reached near the door we heard car horns honking nearby i was relieved to see mark's car mark got out and rushed towards us with an angry face he hurled at ivy saying grow up ivy this is not a time to joke around let's go back home enough is enough ivy looked at me with a pissed off face and replied you two are very boring i will go back home once i checked this farmhouse as i already said my sister was adamant at that time we got inside and realized this farmhouse has faced a severe fire the walls in the wood were black and filled with cobwebs mark said i'm telling you there's no treasure here let's go ivy suddenly reached near a bumpy surface and said this is the exact coordinate i'm telling you guys there's something under the ground buried here let's dig it up i knew without watching what was under the ground my sister is not going back so mark picked up an iron rod lying in the corner and started to dig after a few minutes of digging the iron rod hit onto a plastic-like thing we discovered a black garbage bag underneath ivy went to open the bag with an excited face but as soon as she saw what's inside she screamed and fainted on the ground mark and i found a bloody knife and some blood-soaked clothes in it we went to the cops the next morning the cops found out it was evidence from a murder case that the killer tried to hide i haven't kept track of this incident further because it was utterly disturbing ivy is now scared of playing any kind of video game she never went to the dark web after that incident
