Narrating TRUE Scary Stories | INTO THE DARK

Generally developed a strong H History can leave a permanent stain in time time and space and sometimes these permanent stains make known their presence especially in a place that people went to live out their lives and die subjected to the torture of their own mental illness and the mental illnesses of others tonight we explore

The trans alany Lunatic Asylum where the darkness of its history refuses to remain in the past [Applause] past the trans alanus Asylum was built between the years of 1858 in 1881 in West Virginia additionally it is supposedly the largest handcut stone masonry building in the United States the original psychiatric hospital opened for patients in the year 1864 the Asylum was initially designed

To hold up to 250 inmates however by 1880 it held 717 then in 1938 1,661 inmates called it their home during its peak in the 1950s it housed 2,400 patients making its condition poor severely overcrowded and unsanitary the trans alany asylum’s expansive property stretched a perhaps eily 666 Acres this included the main

Facility a farm a dairy Waterworks and a cemetery In 1902 a gas was also drilled on the grounds many unbearable Horrors took place within the thickest walls of the Asylum from frontal lobe lobotomies which were procedures where a doctor quite literally used an ice pick and a

Hammer to chip through the back of a patient’s eye socket and into the brain to scrape away connections that were thought to cause the patient mental distress to electric shock therapy patients endured some of the the most agonizing of treatments while imprisoned within the brooding Citadel moreover other patients who were deemed

Untreatable would be locked in cages and many of the times they would rot physically and mentally while sitting in their own blood and excrement indeed such treatments were normal at the time and of course with the innumerable deaths that took place in the asylum speculations of hauntings and Paranormal Activity would inevitably

Result throughout the years many visitors and trespassers have experienced the sensation of being watched and followed as they Traverse the old Asylum grounds where so many suffered so long ago others have reported witnessing the apparitions of patients and even Civil War soldiers manifesting before their very eyes

Either either to act out what could have been their last actions before death or perhaps to make an attempt to communicate with those of the present in some way but in particular one of the most infamous spirits that inhabits The Forsaken edifice is known by the name of

Lily although it has not been confirmed most people have come to the conclusion that Lily was the daughter of one of the inmates gladus ravenfield after her birth the staff named and took care of her meanwhile glattus his condition only worsened due to the severity of her treatments she

Was never allowed to raise her daughter because Lily was most likely the product of her mother being raped she was never formally adopted and thus became an inmate herself sadly she died at an early age confined within the heart of the Asylum since then her ghost wanders the

Now Dusty in mildew strewn Halls confused and seeking a playmate Lily is known to pull on visitors clothing move toys left for her as gifts and steal candy if left in the room however not every permanent resident at the trans alagan Asylum is as sweet and benevolent as Lily is one

Spirit by the name of Ruth is one of the more violent and aggressive ones that visitors have encountered but Ruth generally targets men as she has developed a strong hatred towards the male sex during her lifetime she will usually poke and pull male visitors but

Has shoved a few up against a wall in the past one of the most haunted areas in the decrepit Asylum is Ward 2 which is haunted by a patient who was stabbed 17 times and left to die all by himself sometimes over the dead Stillness his unrequited screams and cries for

Clemency can be heard as if he is still trying to evade the one who murdered him on the third floor of the Asylum one of the most notable ghosts is one by the name of Elizabeth Elizabeth was a nurse throughout her life now many report hearing her by the nurses

Station sometimes her wraith even opens and closes doors and last but certainly not least there is another sorrowful spirit that remains within trans alany he is a spirit who goes by the name of Dean Dean was a patient who suffered an anguishing fate one day two other fellow

Patients decided to attack Dean they brutally assaulted him then attempted to hang him however Dean refused confused and tried to escape this only furthered the Wrath of the two malevolent patients who then dragged him into a room and placed one of the bed’s legs on Dean’s head as Dean lay helpless and

Unconscious the two patients then jumped on the bed horribly crushing Dean’s skull and ending his life but despite the gruesome death Dean’s spirit is said to be peaceful and does not pose harm to visitors other spirits of the decaying sanatorium include former Civil War veteran patients on the third story and

Many many more to this day the trans allany Lunatic Asylum is known as one of the most haunted places in the world its crumbling structure stands as a doleful and grizzly reminder of what it was originally built for and the Terrors that went on throughout the many years of its

Operation however now it is a place of Abandonment harboring The Souls of those who died within its oppressive walls just waiting for anyone who’s brave enough to pay the old Asylum grounds of visit unfortunately disappearances happen all of the time and with most of those missing people with love ones left

Behind it can be a rather devastating event an event that could resolve horrifically or never resolve at all one such case was that of Henry mccab whose disappearance and the rather disturbing voicemail Left Behind has left more than his loved ones confused and scared [Applause] Henry McCabe was just shy of turning 32 years old his birthday was only days away a man living in Minnesota Henry liked to go out and have fun from time to time it was Labor Day sep member 7th of 2015 that he decided to go out to a

Nightclub with two friends after an energetic late night one of Henry’s friends that had accompanied him named William Kennedy offered Henry a ride back home but Henry never made it home and what followed that night is considered to be a rather chilling string of events

Henry had found love in his life and had two loving daugh daughters he had married a woman named Karen who was out in California at the time of Henry’s disappearance sources claim that Karine was out there getting things situated for the move they had planned from moundsview Minnesota to California he

Worked as an auditor for the Minnesota Department of Revenue and had a lot of love for his job according to the spokesman of the family however other sources claim that Henry may have been having trouble at work and received poor Rie views whether or not that is factual

Remains hazy at best the spokesman for Henry’s family noted that Henry was a rather outgoing person that he often remained in open communication with those closest to him so the fact that he would just suddenly drop off the map was even more suspicious but on Monday November second of that year things took

A rather dark turn a man who was kayaking within a North Metro Lake in Minnesota came across a gruesome Discovery a dead body in the water police were promptly called and arrived at the scene to pull out the body and by the next day the body was

Confirmed to be that of Henry McCabe with the missing person’s case now changing to one involving death police had to look for a different series of Clues that would tell them with as much accuracy as possible just what happened to Henry that brought him from a fun

Night out at a nightclub to floating dead in a lake Henry’s background from social connections to associations needed to be combed through thoroughly this needed to be done in order to determine the bizarre nature surrounding Henry’s death one specific Association that seemed to stand out to a number of those who took

Interest in Henry’s case was that of the Coalition for justice in Liberia the leader is trying to help the family make some sense of this recording the growls turn to high pitch moans so like he’s moaning in pain like moaning in pain the Coalition for justice in Liberia also known as the cjl

Stood to help put an end to all of the devastating byproducts of Liberia’s 14-year Civil War that occurred in two parts from 1989 to 2003 and claimed around 250,000 lives according to the cjl Henry was an activist in the Coalition who had survived the entire Civil War before he

Eventually immigrated to the United States according to Letta tug the executive director of the cjl Henry death could have been linked to the violence in Liberia and that some other liberians who also had immigrated to the United States but took a different stance on the Civil War would easily

Find ways to murder those who they felt have betrayed or done them wrong they would kill without remorse Letta was quoted as saying they’ve done it now for years we need to find out what happened but this was only one idea and there were more that made this case even more

Unsettling William Kennedy the man who told police that he had dropped Henry off at a super America gas station upon his request fell into question when he brought police to the alleged gas station and showed them where he parked but the gas station surveillance footage didn’t match William’s story after this

Point William was no longer so sure of which gas station he brought Henry to but surveillance footage was able to eventually determined that William Kennedy did drop off Henry at a gas station after all a Holiday gas station that was over 5 minutes away from where he originally claimed he left Henry

Stranger still one of Henry’s other friends who he went out with that night was in possession of his wallet while William Kennedy had his keys meaning that even if Henry did make it home he would have been unable to unlock his own door but even with these strange circumstances things became even weirder

And more Haunting in the form of a voic mail left behind by Henry on his wife Karen’s phone Henry’s number left a voicemail that was largely undecipherable it’s believed that growls and groans of pain can be heard within the audio which may be disturbing to some listeners just about every public version of the audio has been cut by the

News channels that were reporting it so what you’re about to hear isn’t the full audio during the full voicemail a voice that is believed to be Henry’s claims that he’s been shot at the very end of the voicemail he could be heard shouting stop it before it ended in what could

Have been one of the last signs of Henry mcabe while he was alive you’re about to hear the voicemail now remember it may be disturbing to some Listeners despite all of these suspicious events police came to a conclusion that shocked many from those who loved Henry to those who were just following the case overall the police ruled that no one involved with Henry was determined to be a suspect after this they even ruled that Henry’s death

Was non-suspicious largely due to the fact that Henry’s body had no signs of a struggle or violence of any kind his death seemed entirely accidental Henry’s wife Karine has been left perplexed and has often wondered what was happening to Henry during his last voicemail to her one that still haunts countless people

Who have listened to it initially one of the associations that was looking into Henry’s death offered a $10,000 reward this was for any information that would lead to a resolution in the case but according to Minnesota’s star Tribune the reward was rescinded because of Karen the association known as the Minnesota

Community policing Services claimed that Henry’s wife had been withholding critical information in order to mislead the public and the association Minnesota community policing Services is a nonprofit agency and acts as a goet with police and the Liberian Community some sources claim that Karine actually believes her husband is still alive

While she has firmly denied this and continues to search for answers that make any sense in this chilling case since Henry’s terrible fate many have speculated what happened to Henry that night exactly from something Beyond human sending Henry to his demise to drug use which could have caused Henry

To frantically panic and end up unfortunately drowning himself to this very day nothing is known for sure if you have any information regarding the fate of Henry mccab you are urged to contact the appropriate law enforcement office at 763 717 470 unsettling experiences happen to everyone whether the events are tethered

In something that would be called paranormal or in something more tangible either way these experiences can be horrifying and may linger for a very long time to [Applause] come on March 11th 2016 a ready user named newsies on a mission posted a rather bizarre experience that they had in their past their story claims that between the ages of five and seven from their second floor bedroom haunting faces could be seen when they looked out their bedroom

Window faces that stared back inside the bedroom at them the house was in a heavily secluded area a farmhouse to be exact with no one nearby that would have perhaps explained what had been occurring for those two years for those two years they would see these faces in

The window every single night some of the faces were normal some had on bizarre expressions and others were terribly Distorted the Reddit user years later ch stock this up to an overactive imagination but things would take a strange turn quite sometime later they moved out of the tiny Farmhouse with faces in the bedroom window and into a new home Jake had a 5-year-old daughter named Lily who took over the bedroom the

Reddit user once occupied eventually the Reddit user decided to visit Jake in their old home and during their visit Jake brought up a topic that shook the Reddit user to their core every night Lily claims she sees faces in her window Jake said and she won’t go to sleep

News’s on a mission while shaking up didn’t mention anything about their experience seeing the faces at that point and despite not believing in the Paranormal they were understandably chilled to the Bone a number of other Reddit users claim that there might have been carbon monoxide poisoning to blame as this can

Trigger the very stereotypical haunting experiences that people claim to have eventually newsies on a mission decided to tell their friend Jake that they also witnessed these faces when they were Lily’s age but Jake didn’t believe it however it was suggested that Jake should test the home for potential issues like carbon monoxide poisoning

According to the user Jake did test his home and found nothing alarming whatsoever perhaps the only way for a person to know about these faces for sure would be to spend a night in that tiny Farmhouse Bedroom anyone knows that going somewhere by yourself at night can be daunting even more so if you’re a girl strand Ed at a gas station it can easily become a lot more dangerous than you might think Reddit user wonderlandian recounts her unsettling experience after she endured one thing most people

Absolutely dread having car issues in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar place she realized that her tire was leaking air to the point that it was hazardous so she was forced to pull over at a gas station where she tried to put air in her Tire unfortunately due to a

Broken valve the tire wouldn’t inflate and instead went entirely flat and wonderlandian was forced to call Triple A while on the phone with the AAA dispatch her however she had no idea that something horrible was about to happen a large older black man approached her and asked if she needed

Help disregarding that she was on a telephone call feeling a little awkward having someone try to talk to her while she was on the phone she offered a polite smile and thanked him and told him she had AAA on the phone and that they were going to take care of it but

The man persisted towards helping her and gestured back at his silver car which was parked in a dark area of the parking lot he went on to tell her that he would drive her anywhere that she wanted she declined again then he said he was going into to the gas station

Store for a soda and asked if she wanted anything she declined yet again trying to keep her composure as the man continued to push her into opening up to him after he walked away she promptly got back into her car and locked the doors the AAA dispatcher who had been on

The phone the entire time and heard the conversation asked wonderlandian if she wanted her to call the police not wanting to appear as racist rist she told the dispatcher no but soon came to regret her decision as she said she has since learned the difference between racism and looking out for your own

Personal well-being despite Wonderland and not wanting the police called the dispatcher still considered the situation unsettling so she bumped her to the top of the list for help believing that wonderlandian was in fact in danger eventually she hung up with the dispatcher and waited in her car for

Help to arrive that’s when she looked to see if she could see her new friend anywhere and noticed he was standing about 20 ft from her car staring directly at her with an unwavering gaze disturbed by this wonderlandian did her best to ignore the man as minutes passed

She would occasionally take small side glances at the man who was still standing there just staring in for over 15 minutes she eventually looked away and by the time she looked back around he was gone but certainly not gone enough she found him back inside the store crouching beneath a sign on the

Gas station’s window peering out at her still finally she decided to call the police the dispatcher offered to send an officer out to wonderlandian location but yet again she declined claiming that she just wanted the dispatcher to wait on the line with her until help arrived the dispatcher still asked for her

Location and once she gave it the dispatcher paused before notifying her that the gas station she was at was incredibly dangerous even by Nationwide standards and that she was dispatching a police officer immediately the dispatcher told her to remain in her car with the doors locked until either the

Tow truck or the police officer arrived now even more nervous that’s exactly what wonderlandian did while she remained on the phone despite the anxiety of the situation she felt a little bit more comfortable not thinking that anything would happen and knowing that help was going to arrive she cast a

Glance towards the store to see if the man was still creeping around but he had disappeared yet again she thought for a moment that maybe the man had finally left but it turned out that she couldn’t have been more wrong somehow without her noticing the man got into position in

Wonderlandian headlights and was walking right towards her car she began to panic and then the man reached down into his pants and withdrew his genitals at this point she burst into tears and started shouting into the phone what was happening and looked away obviously not not wanting to see what the man wanted

Her to while she was looking away the man rapidly approached her passenger side door and started attempting to force his way inside thanks to Adrenaline wonderlandian no longer felt like a victim but felt enraged she screamed and swore at the man telling him that she was on the phone with the

Police and to get away from her car thankfully the man gave up after a few minutes and instead of leaving just walked over to some gas pumps as if he was going to make another pass at infiltrating her car at some point later that’s when finally the tow truck

Arrived the tow truck driver approached her car a little confused that she wasn’t getting out to greet him and then he could see the state she was in she cracked the door for the driver and told him quickly what had happened and Furious the driver assured wonderlandian

That he was was going to make sure that the [ __ ] didn’t leave the driver approached the creep who was still standing at the gas pumps and wonderlandian expected a fight to ensue but the tow truck driver did something she wasn’t expecting he asked the man for directions in order to stall for

Time for the police to arrive and arrive they did that’s when police officers arrested the man for what he had done while also finding a crackpipe in his possession and believing that he was under the influence of cocaine it was something of a happy ending to a rather horrific turn of Events particular horror movies have something of a bad energy attached to their production of all these types of movies there’s not quite a movie like The Exorcist Reddit user karth Von monk explains that he attended a college which was partially used for filming some of the scenes of The Exorcist

Particularly the basement level of one of the buildings on the campus he said that while there were a number of spooky urban legends and tales surrounding his college campus but any involving The Exorcist movie seemed hokey at best and didn’t really get any sort of rise out

Of him some weeks after the end of his junior year however these Tales would take a rather serious turn he and some other students were all preparing for a trip overseas and with the campus almost entirely cleared out aside from Summer students they all decided that it would

Be fun to sleep on campus together before they left for the airport the next day one of the students who was going in the trip was also a member of the college staff and they had access to a nice empty air conditioned building for everyone to use use in a good mood

And excited for the next day’s trip kth Von monk got ready to get some solid sleep before having to wake up and get ready to leave despite the air conditioning in some other areas of the building he recalled how hot it was in the room he chose to sleep in between

The Heat and the excitement for his first overseas experience it was difficult for him to get sleep and eventually he felt the need to use the bathroom unfortunately the bathroom was all the way down on the first floor and he was staying in a room on the fourth

The Reddit user knew about the purportedly haunted occurrences that had taken place in this building though he didn’t buy into any of these things he also didn’t want to Traverse a dark building in the middle of the night alone so he did his best to ignore it

But it became more and more difficult as time went on eventually he bit the bullet and using his phone’s Flash light to see made his way to the building’s elevator that would bring him down to the bathroom after using the bathroom without any issue he got back to the

Elevator and prepared to get back to his room for some much needed sleep once arriving back in the elevator he hit the button for the fourth floor and the doors slid closed at this point the user felt a little strange the elevator wasn’t going up like it was supposed to

It was going going down to the basement level being unable to do anything he just stood there as the elevator came to AR rest and the doors parted confusion and fear sent him into a cold sweat no one who would have tampered with the elevator was even on campus never mind

Staying in the same building that they were any hope of relaxing and getting sleep bled right out of kar Von monk at this time kth Von monk claimed that his uplifted and excited mood shifted into more of a down and upset one as he couldn’t drive that night’s haunting

Events from his mind and he didn’t exactly get a very good night’s sleep after that either realizing it was the basement level he pinched his eyes shut not wanting to look out but even if he chose to do so the elevator doors open to pitch black anyway he frantically pressed the fourth floor

Button repeatedly until the doors finally began to close but before they could they slammed loudly as if someone had jammed their arm in so the doors wouldn’t close and they reopened he pressed the button again and again and the doors jolted and kept from closing

Forced to open his eyes to be sure there wasn’t something blocking the doors it was as he expected and feared nothing was blocking the doors and now he started to think he might have had to navigate through the pitch black basement in order to find the stairwell

As his eyes peered out into the Shadows of the basement that’s when he heard it a voice muttering in the dark somewhere down in that basement heart pounding furiously he hit the button again and again until the doors finally did close and took him up to the fourth floor

That’s all for now remember you may not believe it but anything is possible in a world so seriously strange they say that home is where the heart is and that can absolutely be true but for some people home is where the terror is if something scary or unexplained has

Happened to you submit it to submit scary stories gmail.com to possibly be featured in an upcoming episode of seriously [Applause] strange years ago someone posted online a rather disturbing account of their experience in their new home it was their sophomore year of college and instead of looking at a typical dorm this student and their friends were looking into renting a house on the campus one that had a rather long

History like a number of fraternities and sororities everyone was excited to get the opportunity to move in together so they decided to contact a realtor and get shown around the house they went room to room seeing all that the house had to offer and were getting more and

More comfortable with what could have easily become their college home that’s when they made their way down into the basement perhaps what they thought would be a final area to get a look but the house had one more surprise left there was a large furnace in place to

Accommodate for a house on a college campus which often had a fair number of bedrooms and people living there that’s when the one who tells this chilling story noticed a door hidden behind the furnace a door which the realtor didn’t even realize was there curious and wanting to see everything the house had

To offer they approached the door with the others and opened it inside was a scene that would turn blood cold among a bunch of old junks strewn about the room inside senseless writing was splashed across the walls but perhaps the most chilling sight of all was that of an old

Noose which hung from a support above needless to say it was the last thing anyone was expecting later on the students cut down the old noose and moved on from The Haunting nature of the room hidden in the basement and they never did find out what had happened

Inside of that room in that old history myed house one man shared online something of a close call that he had when he was younger when he was just a boy he was visiting his grandparents Farm it was a very large farm on over 1,000 acres of

Land the land was called home by his family for a number of generations and while visiting he and his father went to the place where his great great grandparents once had a house and though most of the house was long gone there was still a lonely garage that remained

The boy was curious as to what was inside the garage so he went to inspect it he attempted to open the door to no avail his father tried to help but still the door wouldn’t budge it appeared as though it had rusted shut over an extended period of time time so the boy

Still wanting to know what was inside perhaps now even more looked for a way to Peak inside that’s when he found a small hole and put his eye up close to try to solve the mystery inside the garage he found a car the boy believed

It might have been a nice luxury car so excitedly he told his father who sort of laughed at the idea of a nice car being locked away in some remote garage in such a sleepy area of the country where people didn’t typically Drive anything too luxurious at all the two spent a

Little more time on their day out before leaving and around a week later the boy’s father was talking to one of the people that rented a house on the large expanse of land and laughed while telling the renter what his son thought he had seen in the old garage the renter

Seemed a little confused confused because there wasn’t supposed to be any vehicle inside that garage the renter eventually contacted the sheriff who went to get into the garage and be sure that everything was in order the sheriff went to investigate and found a lot more than he was expecting once forcing the

Door open and looking inside the car it was discovered that a dead body that of a teenager was in the driver’s seat covered in blankets it was believed that the teenager had frozen to death he must have wanted to keep himself hidden in the garage but running the car and

Closing the garage door wasn’t a safe option but unfortunately the lingering grasp of a freezing cold night claimed his life he was a runaway and his family hadn’t known what happened to their son for months the man still wonders how long it might have taken them to find

The body if his curiosity hadn’t got gotten the better of him that day roommates and alcohol can lead to an increase in curiosity which can also lead to unexpected finds a number of friends were living together some years ago and while they knew the house like the back of their hands the basement

Hadn’t gotten very much attention as basement usually don’t when there unfinished but one night while drinking and having a few laughs they all decided that being warmed up and brave from the drinking that it was finally time to have a real look around what lingered beneath their shared home so they

Equipped themselves with some flashlights and ventured down the basement stairs down at the far end of the basement there was an entrance leading into a crawl space that extended out under the front porch so one of the more daring roommates got down on the floor and dragged himself inside

Flashlight leading the way that’s when he encountered something that no one was expecting the roommate emerged back from the crawl space and with him was a duffel bag to say the group was baffled by this find would be an understatement and they wasted little time carefully opening the bag up and looking inside

But its contents would be potentially shocking inside the bag they withdrew two black ski masks a single black leather glove and a 4 1/2 in knife the knife’s handle had been somehow broken perhaps from harsh use stunned by their Discovery they reached out to the local authorities in the event that the

Contents inside the bag were used for less than innocent purposes perhaps surprisingly the police weren’t at all interested in seeing the items and their origin remains and probably always will remain a mystery it’s a story that’s hard to be believed but for those who have had paranormal experiences while it’s not

Too out of the ordinary it can still be rather chilling one man recalls his teenage years that he spent in a house that had been standing on its land for over a hundred years a house with plenty of History within its walls but history wouldn’t be the only thing to find the

Man who tells his experience notes that he is today a skeptic of the Paranormal he is not easily convinced of anything of that nature that may surprise some of you considering what happened to him so many years ago as a teen he remembered what sounded like a ball bouncing

Against the floor as if it were being played with so he asked his parents about it it’s probably just the radiator his parents would assure him despite the fact that it didn’t sound like the radiator and its pattern seemed a lot less routine despite this he took their

Word for it and went about his regular life for a couple more years but that ball just kept on bouncing in the back of his mind until his curiosity got the better of him and he decided to actively try to make contact with whatever may have been haunting his house if anything

At all among his methods he figured that one specific approach would be most likely to get him results and it turned out that he was right so he immediately got to work and found himself a piece of paper and some other supplies to make his very own homemade Ouija board one of

The things written on the board aside from yes no numbers and letters is the word high the boy asks question after question and to his surprise the pointer does in fact move but most questions are answered simply with high then he asked the spirit he believed to be conversing

With how old it was and the pointer moved to three some more questions led to yes or no answers but others just LED back to high the boy having felt great excitement for the contact he made quickly got his father the father however was a staunch skeptic and didn’t

Believe in ghosts in any way shape or form the father a little fed up with his son’s antic sits down at the Ouija board after being begged for long enough one of the next questions the son asked was do you like to play with to the pointer shifted over to point at yes

On the board the sun gave some recommendations on what kinds of toys the spirit might have liked to play with but the pointer kept pointing at no with each new recommendation perhaps to only humor his son and thinking of older toys that the spirit might have been more

Familiar with the father asked if the spirit liked to play with Jacks that’s when the pointer shot directly at the word yes as if it were excited to respond to that specific question and right after this beside the two on the floor a loud Bounce from the ball rang

Out the man’s son was terrified yet also excited and he could see an expression of bewilderment plastered across his father’s face the father still dismissed the entire event including the bouncing ball though he did appear to be shaking over 5 years passed and now the son had moved out and his parents were

Remodeling parts of that old house namely the kitchen they started work on the pantry and while doing some demolition the father broke through a wall only to find some old items locked away inside the wall among the items were some old photographs some marbles and much to the father’s absolute shock

A set of jacks immediately he thought of the Ouija board with his son and remembered how eagerly it seemed to respond to being asked about playing with Jax he called his son not long after to tell him about what he had found and for the first time he had no

Argument nothing to say to explain any of it to this day the boy now a man Still Remains a strong skeptic in regards to the Paranormal but he still gets thrown for a loop whenever he thinks of that young spirit and the Jacks he likely played with when he was

Alive so very long ago that’s all for this episode remember you may not believe it but anything is possible in a world so seriously strange cemeteries are universally creepy places even those who say they don’t believe in the Paranormal wouldn’t walk around one alone at night if something scary or unexplained has

Happened to you submit it to submit scary stories at gmail.com to possibly be featured in an upcoming episode of seriously [Applause] strange for some cemeteries can be an interesting place to visit but for others they are just so happen to be living next to one Seline UL is one such person she has had many Eerie experiences in her home presumably due to its proximity to the Mount Jerome

Cemetery right next door in seline’s house things have fallen over by themselves despite there being no no apparent reason for them falling seline’s cat would even stare at specific spots on the wall for extended periods of time oddly and at times hiss as if feeling threatened by whatever it

Was it was able to see or sense that Seline and her loved ones were unable to seline’s nephew who is quite young will also stare at the wall and giggle from time to time as if something unseen is entertaining him when Seline was young herself she also had some experiences of

Her own one of which took place when she was playing with her sister and being loud as children often are when an unfamiliar voice shouted for them to be quiet with no known source anywhere to be found aside from these things there have been more typical events that have

Taken place like Shadows shifting in and out of sight things being moved going missing entirely knocking tapping and even being grabbed in the middle of the night by the ankles by something unseen but one night after taking a taxi ride home from night school there perhaps creepiest of all experiences

Occurred while on their way back to her home the driver mentioned that he was a medium despite all of her unexplainable experiences in her house with what could be described as paranormal Seline really didn’t take the man seriously at first but that would change when the man mentioned something that only Seline

Knew he turned back a little and asked do you remember someone knocked on your bedroom door a couple of weeks ago and no one was there Seline felt the color drain from her face and her whole body went cold the man was right she was just

Silent unable to to speak so the man mentioned that the knocking was her neighbor from the home to the right side of hers a woman who had been dead for the past 20 years the driver said that the woman remembers Seline and would visit her when she was just very young

And give her and her sister chocolate the knocking was just the nice old neighbor checking in on Seline Seline was still at a loss for words in freezing cold in the back of the taxi but she eventually spoke up she asked how the man knew about all this

Perhaps still finding it hard to believe the claim of being a medium the taxi driver claimed to always have had a gift of communication with those who had passed on even since he was a young child the driver was able to prove his strange abilities when he told Seline

Things about her family that he would never have known such as facts about her mother’s upbringing many years ago upon arriving at her house Seline realized that she didn’t even need to tell the driver where her house was he just knew he told her that there was a man inside

Of her house one that wasn’t of the living seeing that she was clearly disturbed by this he assured her that it was her grandfather just looking in Seline was in disbelief over the man’s Eerie no knowled before she Departed the chilling cab bride the man told her that

Her home contains many spirits passing through but none meant her any harm in that they primarily came from the cemetery next to her house Selene a nervous wreck didn’t get a wink of sleep that night and has not forgotten that taxi ride and likely never will

Our next story comes from a man named Dale from Scotland and his experience in a graveyard that he’ll always regret going inside like many areas in Scotland this particular Cemetery the old new battle Cemetery was quite old a few hundred years in fact local lore seems to indicate that a number of witches

Were buried in these grounds and that people have gone missing around this Cemetery this combined with the fact a murder took place very close to the cemetery has caused it to be a morbid attraction of sorts Dale and a couple of his friends were among those attracted

To this place one dark night Dale and his friends were laughing and joking on their way to the cemetery thinking that nothing serious was going to happen but it turned out that they were wrong arriving at the cem Cemetery Dale and his friends parked the car just outside

The entrance and walked inside near the back of the cemetery there stands an Old Stone TBL likee tomb of sorts with skulls and other symbols etched into it it’s believed that a rather well-known witch from many years ago was buried there with a spirit attached to the

Grave one that many people have claimed to see materialize may be described as blood curdling murderous and horrific immediately their hearts began pounding and breathing became frantic it was the type of wailing and screaming that they had never heard before in their lives it was something beyond what a normal

Person would be capable of and they all knew it it was such a terrifying sound that without much delay Dale and his friends sprinted out of the cemetery immediately regretting their decision to to come at all they ran out of the entrance leaving the gate wide open

Behind them once they got into their car and drove off they gave one final look back and saw that the gate they left open was now closed up tight as if they’d never been there at all though Dale and his friends were quite talkative in having fun on the way to

The cemetery they didn’t speak a single word on the way home not about that night not about anything and Dale says that he will never return to that Cemetery ever Again A Man Named Dave took his young son to a cemetery in order to teach him to ride a bicycle in a safe area the Pathways in the cemetery were well paved and clear of cars as the cemetery didn’t get much traffic it was the middle of

The day so it was well lit and Dave didn’t need to worry about his son being unable to see during the critical time of learning to balance on his bicycle it was a beautiful day and everything seemed to be going as expected Dave who was an avid cyclist was proud of how

Quickly his son was learning and his son was having fun learning a skill that would last a lifetime but suddenly the day became Unforgettable for a reason that they hadn’t expected not thinking there were any other people visiting the cemetery at the time Dave found it a bit strange when an old car

Something probably from the 1960s began driving slowly down the pathway towards them Dave kept his son to the side to make sure he was safe he noticed that the car was slowing down as it came closer to them and then stopped Dave instinctively met the driver with a

Polite smile and prepared for some small talk or perhaps someone who was going to ask for directions but what he saw made his blood run cold inside the car was a woman who Dave described as unbelievably old looking as if the woman had somehow lived to over 150 years old but for

Whatever reason was still alive he noticed that the woman’s legs were crumbled beneath her seat feet not touching the pedals he couldn’t say a word he only stared at the woman as his gaze came back to her impossibly aged face that’s when she smiled the widest most disconcerting Smile as if the woman

Knew she was terrifying him and was amused by it moments later she drove off down the path and was gone Dave told those close to him about the Eerie encounter but the story doesn’t end there while driving to work one day not long after the encounter enounter with

The old woman Dave was listening to a radio show where callers occasionally called in to tell their most haunting experiences he had turned on the station just in time to hear one such caller telling a story from another area of the country that Dave found quite familiar

Apart from some Minor Details the man on the radio told a story about his walk through a cemetery during the day when an old vehicle pulled up and inside was a haunting woman with a disturbing chesher smile and legs crumpled up beneath the driver’s seat Dave was in

Disbelief and the memory stuck with him relentlessly as he wondered if he’d ever encounter the impossibly old woman again perhaps if you’d like to find out for yourself you just need to take a nice Lonesome walk down a Cemetery Road and hope for an old car to come and pull up

Beside you the ocean one of the most beautiful and mysterious as well as one of the scariest places a person can go if something scary or unexplained has happened to you submit it to submit scary stories at gmail.com to possibly be featured in an upcoming episode of serious ly [Applause] strange a group of divers were embarking on a deep dive 200 ft below to see a sunken Journey German uboat the man who recalls this traumatic event an experienced diver knew well the dangers of deep Dives and the importance of decompression he began to ascend towards the surface slowly after about 10

Minutes of swimming around the old uboat in order to minimize decompression ascending too quickly without acclimating when diving as far as they had been can result in number of horrible things such as a loss of consciousness and even death another couple that had also been diving a

Father and his young son still weren’t coming back up as minutes continued to tick by after 50 minutes went by and the father and son still weren’t ascending the captain of the diving boat sent the more experienced diver back down into the water to see if he could find the

Missing too and he did find them still at the uboat but in a deadly situation the sun had been trapped under a piece of metal and his father was desperately trying to get his son free frantic as any father would be spotting the danger and knowing that time was of the essence

He approached the two as quickly as possible and helped to get the boy free but the diver noticed that the Father and Son were far from relieved they were running out of air and they were panicking their bodies flooded with nitrogen would not be able to handle a

Quick swim to the surface but it was looking like that’s where their thoughts were the diver did everything he could to keep the two safe considering their air had become dangerously low he shared his oxygen with them both while trying to keep them calm for their gradual

Ascent but the moment that the Sun saw an opportunity he bolted for the surface instinctively the father took off after him knowing what would occur if they reached the surface too quickly the diver reached out and managed to grab a hold of the father and tried to keep him

Down but he broke free in a frenzy to reach his son nothing more could be done the diver ascended behind them safely but the moment he broke the surface he knew something was very very wrong by the time the Father and Son were pulled onto the boat the father was entirely

Unresponsive the sun was still alive but struggling tremendously the Coast Guard was called in by helicopter to help but by the time they arrived the father was already dead and too far gone to have a chance at being revived his son however was still battling for his life they got

Him onto the chopper and the captain said they should leave immediately to save the son’s life as he didn’t have much time left but the Coast Guard demanded they also take the father’s body on board against the captain’s advice it took precious time to get the father’s dead body into the chopper as

He was dead weight and the surface of the water was very choppy swaying the boat considerably back and forth by the time the chopper got the father on board Bo and proceeded to work on saving his son’s life the son had tragically died it a scarring moment that the diver will

Never forget despite his best efforts fear had claimed the lives of two people that day you never know when you dive beneath the surface of the water if you might just solve a mysty my a surfer had been missing for a few days and despite efforts to find him they turned up

Nothing and getting lost in the ocean can lead to an endless hunt that could very well provide no results and no closure but a group of friends who decided to go diving came face to face with the conclusion that everyone would dread the friends were excited to dive

In and explore whatever lurked in the waters among all the incredible things they witnessed one thing stood out something that appeared to be a human body and unfortunately for them it was the surfer who had been missing for a number of days had now just been found

But it wasn’t merely just a body floating beneath the waves that Disturbed them it was the condition the body was in it seemed like some of the ocean life had made a meal of the body but it wasn’t merely chewed at the surfer had been wearing a wet suit that

Left his arms legs and head exposed it’s unknown how he died exactly but once he had spent enough time underwater and began to decompose it attracted what was assumed to be crabs every bit of exposed flesh had been torn away and the muscle beneath it as well in only a matter of

Days the exposed parts of the surfer’s body had been stripped clean to the divers encountered a torso with skeletal arms and legs and an exposed skull horrified the team of friends promptly returned to the surface needless to say the diving trip came to a rather abrupt

End and the Surfers loved ones found a rather morbid sense of Closure a diver tells a haunting story while going on a night dive with two of his close friends while hunting prawns the divers all hovered at around 100 ft deep it was about 1:00 in the morning and the water was especially cold without lights it was absolutely pitch

Black a Blackness so dark that it could really only be witnessed in the ocean the friends had a certain practice that they would do when going out on night d lives the three of them would all get in a circle and turn off their lights leaving themselves in utter Darkness

They’d then stir up the water and watch as bioluminescent organisms glowed around them in a scene of absolute Splendor it felt like floating among the stars in the night sky but an eerie surprise was lurking in that Darkness just waiting to be illuminated the bioluminescence was just

Bright enough enough for each friend to see each other the three divers all looked at one another but they soon realized there was a fourth diver with them sitting in their Circle immediately thoughts began running through their minds seeing other divers wasn’t uncommon but at 1:00 a.m. it was strange

Even stranger they saw no one prepping at the dock above that divers used they stared silently at the newcomer who didn’t move they noticed he had no gloves or fins on yet he seemed to swim effortlessly to their location the friends all wore dry suits because of

How cold the water was but this mysterious diver wore a wet suit with Exposed Skin the three friends also noticed a very large gash on one of the Man’s legs they were speechless and far too scared to even make him move that’s when the man clearly smiled at them

Waved and then swam Away unhindered by the freezing temperatures leaving them all terrified and unable to ever explain what exactly had happened there was never any sign of another diver in the water certainly none with such little equipment somehow Untouched by the harsh element of the cold it was an

Unforgettable encounter that never accompanied an explanation that’s all for now remember you may not believe it but anything is possible in a world so seriously strange being home alone can leave you feeling Carefree or liberated or perhaps vulnerable and [Applause] threatened Shila moved into a new home when she was only 9 years old and it didn’t take very long for her to know that the house was anything but normal in fact she knew the house was uncomfortably different from the day she moved in throughout the years of her

Youth she would experience a number of phenomena and an overall feeling of being watched while living in the house as soon as we moved into the house when I was 9 years old I was noticing a lot of weird stuff happening like unexplainable noises there’s this closet

In my bedroom with that the doors would always open every night between 1: and 3:00 a.m. and there’s nothing ever in there there’s always a tapping or scratching coming from the inside every night that kept me awake most nights the worst of this dark Essence lingered in

The basement where Shiloh would feel the most overwhelmed and threatened when walking on the stairs she would often feel like she had had something following right behind her and would at times feel an unseen Force pulling or pushing her the basement was terrifying to me it felt like there was something

Always watching me down there and it didn’t want me anywhere near there even her cats wanted nothing to do with it and would stare from the basement door down into the darkness growling and hissing but it turned out that whatever lingered in that house did in fact to

Mean her harm by the time that Shila turned 20 years old her mother and sister had both moved out leaving her alone in the house full time but the house would prove that she wasn’t truly as alone as she had hoped considering the laundry was done down in the

Basement Shila did everything she could to resist going down there it became so bad that I wouldn’t do my laundry at home I wouldn’t go into the basement at all like I started sleepwalking and waking up on the basement stairs which made that a whole lot

Worse I just I absolutely hated it like it was think I have nightmares like still but whatever it was in the basement seemed to find itself comfortable in shila’s bedroom and would often wait for her to get into bed at night before it would tamper with her

Life this would happen in forms of violent attacks which would sometimes pin Shila down and leave her helpless to the torment and as suddenly as the force would arrive it would dissipate leaving Shila to believe and hope that it was all just some kind of Twisted nightmare

But what Shila couldn’t explain were the marks she would end up with after the attacks scratches and bruises many of which she took photographs of to document the Terrors once I started getting attacked I knew I it was real after when I was getting bruises uh bleeding claw marks like welted like tan

Prints all over my body from where it was would hit me or squeeze me or attack me I’ve actually got scars across my ribs from where it like called me the worst whatever lived with Shila wasn’t only a mean Spirit but perhaps something much darker Shila one morning after

Waking while lying on her her stomach and looking out her bedroom window into the snowy Morning Light suddenly had her head forced down into her pillow as if whatever was doing it was trying to suffocate her the only sounds she could hear aside from her own struggling was a

Very familiar series of words being whispered The Lord’s Prayer Shila kept a number of crucifixes around her home along with a few Bibles and these things began to go missing after this attack this is when The Haunting was suspected to be something much stronger much darker than a conventional haunting

Things have been hurled at Shila from cups to light bulbs being shot out of their sockets I’ve had water bottles like just cups any small things around the house thrown at me I’ve had light bulbs fly out of the light sockets with just the uh glass bulb when all this started happening I

Was really hoping it was just my imagination or all in my head because I was so terrified and I didn’t want to believe it was real and I didn’t know what to do I kept like moving away as many times as possible Shila has experienced a number of other phenomena

Such as being locked outside in the cold when no one else was home and a lot more she continues to deal with these attacks to this day it’s good to know the history of your home but perhaps sometimes it’s best if you don’t riss wasn’t aware of

Her home’s history in fact knowing the history was a little impractical considering that her family was a military family which required frequent moves to many different places never staying put in one place too long riss has been a skeptic for as long as she can remember never having believed in

The Paranormal she believed that everything unexplained was just lacking a logical explanation but one event that took place in a nice Colorado Springs home changed things the house had three bedrooms and with two siblings riss 8 years old at the time shared a bedroom with her brother while their younger

Sister who was only just a baby had the smallest bedroom to herself moving into this house went as typically as it could have it didn’t seem off it was in a nice neighborhood it looked nice my mom really liked it and I guess

I was okay with it I mean as okay as I could have been moving once again R’s little sister used to typically sleep well through the night and for the first week in the new home things seemed quite ordinary but suddenly R’s little sister would start having trouble sleeping

Severe trouble late into the night every single night she would stand in her crib and begin crying hysterically pointing at her closet despite her parents’ best efforts to calm her down she was inconsolable when my little sister started screaming and crying every night it was really weird and kind of

Scary we didn’t really know what was going on with her and we kind of just assumed she was having night haars even though she’d never had any problems like that before after some time they made the decision to move her into their bedroom in hopes of calming her down and

It worked once she was out of the small bedroom the little baby girl slept soundly again spotting an opportunity for privacy riss quickly moved her self into the vacant bedroom not thinking anything of the bouts of crying from her baby sister it wasn’t long until riss was plagued by nightmares when she tried

To sleep she’d sometimes snap aake covered in a cold sweat and a feeling of overwhelming dread weighing her down these nightmares weren’t like anything I’ve ever had before or since the biggest difference was that when I’m having having a normal nightmare I can tell that I’m dreaming and these nightmares I couldn’t

The one I can recall the most vividly was me laying in bed in the exact same position I’d fallen asleep in and to the right of me was a shadowy figure in the shape of a little girl and it was completely blacked out like so black back it stood out in the darkness

Of my room and it put its chilly cold hand over my mouth and my nose and was suffocating me and it felt so real that I honestly thought I was going to die and when I woke up and there was nothing there and I could breathe again

It honestly terrified me and all of the nightmares in that room that I had from that moment on weren’t normal nightmares they always featured this shadowy figure whether it was in the shape of a little girl or a little boy or a tall man terrorizing me in different

Ways and I’d never experienced anything like that before the phenomena continued throughout their time in the home but riss dealt with her unusual living arrangements knowing that it was only a matter of time before her family was going to move again but about a year passed and a day came that riss would

Never forget a day that she was left home alone R’s father had returned from deployment and the whole family had gone out together but riss decided that she wanted to stay behind and just spend some time with the house to herself reading that’s when she heard A peculiar

Noise the stairs were creaking as if someone was walking up them slowly and with purpose he footfalls pressuring the old wood bris had heard a lot of different noises through the home since they moved there but she only knew the stairs to make those noises when someone

Was going up or down them bris thought her family must have returned so when the footsteps stopped once they had reached the top of the stairs she didn’t think much of it and went back to reading that’s when her doorknob started to violently Shake as if someone was

Trying to force their way in inside the shaking accompanied banging onto the door causing it to rock inside its frame Russ’s heart leapt into her throat her door had a lock but she realized that she hadn’t locked it all riss could do was just stare at the door and shock all

She could think was that someone broke into her house and for some reason they couldn’t get inside her bedroom but it wasn’t someone breaking in it was something that had always been there inside the house the violent shaking stopped and riss could hear the Turning

Of a door knob but as she stared at her door she realized that it wasn’t her bedroom door’s knob that was turning the turning door knob came from her closet door the hinges to the closet door creaked and slowly it cracked open riss terrified by this sprung out of bed and

Charged out her bedroom door no longer caring caring about what could have been waiting outside in the hallway but thankfully and eerily nothing was there she immediately called her mother crying inconsolably much like her little sister had when she stayed in that very bedroom after the event R’s mother decided to

Look into the history of the home and what she found out chilled the entire family a man who had lived there in the past with his two children had one night for reasons unknown murdered his own children in their bedrooms after committing his horrendous act he hanged

Himself inside the closet of The house’s smallest bedroom the bedroom riss and her little sister had used I was too young to do research but my mom did because we all just wanted to know what was going on and why and she did look into it quite heavily and when she told me

What had taken place in that room the young children that had been murdered by their own father before he hung himself in the closet the first thing I felt was utter sadness for those children they didn’t deserve to have their life taken that way and then I was just scared I was so

Terrified I didn’t want to be in that room anymore I didn’t want to sleep in that room room anymore I didn’t want to think about the events that had taken place in that house and I just couldn’t believe that it was real and I couldn’t believe that someone would do that bris

Eventually moved out of the dark and haunting home with a murderous past and she’s thankful that she never has to go Back what should have been a small vacation turned into a horrific memory that will never be forgotten Zan was 13 years old at the time when his family left Pittsburgh Pennsylvania for a short camping trip in Ohio a few hours away Zan’s parents allowed him to stay behind alone considering that they weren’t

Going to be gone long once his family left the good times were ready to begin or so he thought it wasn’t a normal occurrence for my family to leave me home alone so that day when they decided to go camping and I had the house to myself I was very much planning on

Spending it playing video games on the family computer and watching movies I wasn’t supposed to Zen eventually had to use the bathroom so he paused his movie and made his way upstairs the only bathroom to use was on the second floor at the far end of the hallway past the

Bedrooms which all had their lights off due to the fact that no one else was home but after using the bathroom Zan walked back down the hallway and noticed that his older brother’s bedroom light was suddenly on after I had left the restroom I had noticed the light in my brother’s room almost

Immediately it was normal for me to forget doing things as a kid because I was always all over the place so I I honestly just Shrugged it off at first as me being forgetful it wasn’t until I started going down the stairs and hearing the TV played that I

Really panicked because I did remember pausing it so when I slowly crept through to the hallway and I saw my brother sitting on the couch my body was just met with instant dread I had goosebumps all the hair on my body stood straight up he was just sitting there

Staring he got in the car he wasn’t supposed to be there his older brother left for the camping trip hours away he knew it he saw him leave but there he seemed to be sitting in watching the movie he had paused before going to the bathroom overwhelmed by Terror Zan fled

From the house and went to a neighbor after all that had happened I had gone straight to a family friend’s house and spent the rest of the weekend there I didn’t exactly tell him what happened I just said that I’d watched a scary movie and I spooked myself which was the

Farthest thing from the truth I still to this day don’t know how to explain things and I am 100% sure what I had saw and witnessed was a skin walker photos confirmed that Zan’s brother was in fact with the family hours away and couldn’t have possibly returned home whatever Zade saw that

Night is a mystery but one thing that’s for sure is that it wasn’t who it appeared to be that’s all for now remember you may not believe it but anything is possible in a world so seriously strange thank you for watching please be sure to subscribe to my

Channel now because you won’t want to miss what’s next also feel free to check out another one of my videos and I’ll see you next time One for the Road by Michael White House I woke to my friend Tom climbing through my window it was a summer’s night around 2: a.m. and the heat had been unbearable for days for that reason I had left my window open slightly to let what cool air there was filter into my bedroom while I slept it was a

Scrambling panicked noise which brought me to Consciousness and immediately I thought someone was breaking into my home in the darkness I couldn’t tell who it was but as soon as I heard help me I recognized my friend’s voice after turning on the light i p P Tom into the

Room and sat him down in my old Brown armchair which had seen better days close the window he seeed half shout half whisper and completely occupied by the nighttime scene outside switch the light off why I asked confused and still half dazed it might see us that word it

Sat in my mind distilled and uniring I would have laughed if Tom hadn’t had such an unsettling look on his face I’d never known him to be spooked by by anything and to see him so visibly shaken took me by surprise and filled me with trepidation I switched off the

Light and my eyes adapted once more to the dark Tom sat there with his head in his hands the room lit dimly by the street lights outside filtering through the blinds what’s going on I said you won’t believe me he looked up at me even

In the low light I could see the sweat running down his Temple Tom whatever it is it’s okay no you don’t understand try me I said and with that he relayed his story in a hushed wavering voice Tom had been out that night no surprise really

As he always enjoyed a drink in fact he enjoyed it too much and his behavior of late had been irratic at best self-destructive at worst he’d been at the Windam Lodge a small old man’s pub near the Town Main Street I knew why he’d been there before he even told me

His ex-girlfriend Shelly worked there behind the bar a month earlier she had broken up with him she just couldn’t take his drinking anymore that night Tom had dragged a mutual friend of ours Greg to the lodge under the guise of a couple of games of pool and just one drink come

Midnight as the pub clo Tom had to be dragged from the bar by the manager and thrown out into the street he’d been pleading with Shelly to have a drink with him when she finished her shift when his simple question turned into a bitter demand he was quickly ejected I

Knew what Tom was like when he had a drink in him which was one of the reasons I’d refused to go out with him that night he’d been increasingly argumentative and unpleasant the breakup with Shelly had made him even worse we were all trying to help him as best we

Could I’m not painting a great picture of him but when he was sober he was a thoughtful and caring person and a good friend after staggering down a couple of streets and Lanes Tom produced a hip flask filled with whiskey which he carried in his pocket and asked Greg to

Join him for a few more drinks on the way home Greg refused no doubt already having had his fill and so it wasn’t long before an argument broke out Greg was just trying to help Tom up the road but instead received drunken insults Tom throwing around words he’d regret in the

Morning after a few minutes of a verbal bashing Greg gave up and made his own way home Tom staggered along the road and cursed Shelly Greg and the rest of the world for refusing to have another drink with him there was nothing else for it but for Tom to drink alone as he

Wandered along an empty Street not far from where I live the rain came on slight at first then torrential so heavy was the downpour in fact that he was forced to take shelter and wait for it to pass it just so happened that the street he was on sirling Street had its

Fair share of abandoned buildings having once housed the workers of a now defunct Factory one house in particular had an old porch which encased the front doorway on either side and had a pointed roof which provided just enough shelter for one drunken 20s something during a downpour Tom climbed a small fence and

Staggered across the weed filled Garden to the front door I say the front door but in reality it had long since been broken in no doubt rotting somewhere inside the house alongside unseen floorboards roof beams and memories no matter how drunk my friend was he had no intention of exploring inside he just

Wanted somewhere to stay dry and the porch would provide enough protection for that and so he sat on the front step angry and embittered the rain for the most part being rebuffed by the porch roof above he waited there a while looking out across the overgrown Garden

To the street beyond the rain dancing off the tarmac it seemed clear to Tom that he was going to be there for a while longer and so if all else fails drink there he sat taking increasingly longer slugs from the hip flask it filled with Cheap whiskey and Tom filled

With anger at the world at Shelly at Greg and everyone else who didn’t understand now Tom had a habit common to heavy drinkers when he would get to the precipice and intoxicate most of his sober mind he started to talk to himself and that night after the pub and a good

Portion of the hip flask he began a conversation he cursed his friends and family his situation he called Shelly a [ __ ] and beyond all else he hated those around him for being so perfect and lecturing him on how to live his life at least the drink wouldn’t turn its back

On him that was something he always said he could rely on the rain hadn’t abated falling with the same ferocity as it had from the start Tom’s words swallowed up by the White Noise which blanketed everything around him finally after another slug of whiskey he slumped against the cold rotting porch frame

Closed his eyes and began to drift off to a drunken sleep as he did so he mumbled once more about Greg and Shell’s refusal to join him that it was was just one drink for the road it was then that Tom felt a drip of rain make its way

Through a crack above onto his forehead and at the same time the weight of something uncomfortable prodding into his shoulder as he opened his eyes he felt a warm humid Breeze flutter across his face Aid and stale far removed from the air around him which pulsated with

Each sheet of rain I’ll drink with you a graveled voice breathed into Tom’s ear he turned startled and horrified by those words only to be confronted by an unnatural aarant face which rested its pointed chin on his shoulder its body poking out from the darkened doorway

Behind the face was covered in dirt and grime as if it had spent decades beneath the Earth and had the shrouded appearance of ivory cloth pulled tightly over a withered frame implying skeletal features beneath and showing every movement of J jaw and Bone there are some sites which will sober even the

Most inebriated drunk and this was one of them Tom dived forward falling onto a slabbed Garden Path thinly concealed by weeds and soil he screamed at the top of his voice only to be drowned out by the torrential rain its million voices engulfing his forsaken one clawing at

The ground he rushed to his feet and leapt over the garden fence into the street then on on into the rain into the night away from that house house from whatever thing had been Disturbed there blood coarsed through his veins as he fled and his head began to ache

Excruciatingly from a potent cocktail of fear and alcohol gasping for breath he stopped for a moment now far away from the house at the other end of the street he turned to look back but it was difficult to see the rain hurling itself into his eyes with such force that the

Scenery was blurred and indistinct slowly he calmed and entered into a sober dialogue with himself about having drank too too much and just seeing things it was then that through the bubbling wall of rain he saw something move a figure shrouded in darkness and cloth climbed over the fence in Pursuit

Tom wiped his eyes in disbelief as it began to run towards him at speed Panic absolute and controlling Tom turned screaming no one able to hear his please for help he kept running he left sirling Street behind and yet at every turn the shrouded thing from the house followed

Finally he made it to the street where I live and clambered through the window hoping to be saved I stood there in silence he seemed so upset so certain that he even had me believing his story for a moment but then what I saw as the truth presented itself Tom I said gently

Your bone dry what no I’m he stopped as he ran his hands over his clothes and then his hair there hasn’t been a drop of rain in weeks and night has been just as still as the others but he hesitated for a moment shaking his head and

Rubbing his mouth with his hand no I’m telling you this happened that thing is real Tom you’ve been drinking too much and you probably fell asleep and in a days you made it here I placed my hand on his shoulder to reassure him please let’s get you home give me a minute to

Change my clothes and I’ll walk you there as I moved across the room Tom pulled out his whiskey flask and took a big slug maybe you’re right I just need to sleep it off I turned to put the light on but before I had the chance to

Tom let out An Almighty scream I have genuinely never heard anything like it utter fear complete and distraught he leapt to his feet opened my window in hysteria and then fled into the night two months passed and myself Greg Shelly and our other friends who cared about

Tom were unable to contact him indeed the only reason I knew he was alive and not drowned in a river somewhere was because his brother assured me he had spoken to him finally one day Tom appeared at my front door looking in as

Good a shape as I had seen him in a long time he claimed that he had in fact went through an alcohol rehabilitation program which while he still struggled with an urge to drink had kept him sober for several weeks he said that the Tipping Point his lowest e had been that

Night when he hallucinated that thing into being on Serling Street indeed he said that for weeks whenever he had a drink near him the figure would appear from the darkness following chasing never relenting in the end more than anything else it was the fear of a mental illness taking hold and seeing

That hallucination again which made him stop drinking I was and am so happy for Tom and would hate to do anything to change his interpretation of the events doing so could perhaps undo his Rehabilitation I’m sure he’s right about the whole thing being a hallucination that seems like the reasonable and

Obvious conclusion to have but I often lie in bed kept awake by an uneasy memory unsure whether to trust my own senses for when Tom jumped back out of the window into the night I saw something follow him from the corner of the room special thanks to Michael White

Myself and understand them no matter how odd my mind craves logic and order but the following events have none I can’t explain them away at the end of the day and I’m not even sure of what actually happened I’m left with a bunch of what ifs I can say with some certainty that

It may have been a vivid hallucination or a very clever deception either way I feel a need to disclose my tail if for no other reason than to get it off my chest the following occurred in the Autumn of 2010 that’s as specific as I

Will be I live in a small but Lively town in Massachusetts the winters are cold and the summers are hot but fall to me feels just right being just shy of the proper drinking age and never having interest in such things anyhow I found other activities to occupy my weekends

And weekday for that matter I’ve always had a passion for the Paranormal it fascinates me even to this day with nothing better to do with my raging case of insomnia I spent some of my nights investigating the local cemeteries with my friends you could call me a Paranormal Investigator of sorts but I

Saw it as more of a hobby half the time my friends and I would goof off anyway the only times that we became dramatically serious was when there was a lot of Paranormal Activity taking place this didn’t happen all that often but when it did we transformed from

Friends hanging out and having a good time to instant professional Ghost Hunters I might have even pursued it as some sort of career choice had the following not taken place I can tell you for certain that I won’t investigate a cemetery again for as long as I live it

Was a night like any other for myself I was bored I couldn’t sleep sleep and I felt a need to do something outdoors I called a few of my friends and asked if they wanted to investigate one of the local cemeteries that tended to have more activity than others I was able to

Convince two to come with me the others whom I called were angry that I’d woken them up I didn’t realize that it was already midnight anyways the two friends that I did rope in met me at the cemetery it took us each roughly half an hour to walk there even though we all

Lived on opposite sides of the town the cemetery was smack dab in the center of Town making the location convenient for all of us considering we were without transportation after only an hour of investigating and goofing off my friends left there was little to no activity the

Place was dead no pun intended okay maybe it was intended a little bit I stayed behind I figured that I would take a walk through the cemetery a few times in an attempt to become tired before heading home I started walking about when I noticed something before I

Go into detail I must describe to you the layout of the cemetery it was quite large overall there were two sides divided by a small street right off the main road each side had a stone wall that ran along the entire length of the graveyard it came up to my waist and

Only broke up where the two main entrances were one for each side on one side was nothing but Graves the other side the one that I was walking on had Graves a stone tomb and a small wooden Shack this Shack was where the gravedigger kept his shovels and other

Tools of the trade what I had noticed while walking towards it was a light Illuminating the inside I didn’t even know that there was any electricity that ran to the shack I guessed that the gravedigger was working late tonight it being around 2:00 a.m. at this point I

Looked around and I could make out a freshly made 6t deep hole near the shack big enough for a coffin this was nothing odd to me this graveyard was a popular one with at least five new headstones added each month every time the cemetery became full the town workers would cut

Down some trees and extend it the only thing that that struck me as strange was the hour I had only seen the gravedigger work during the day after all a huge gaping hole in the ground is a dangerous thing to come across in the middle of

The night this was enough to arouse my curiosity so I decided to see what the old man was up to I crept over quietly making my way to a cracked window located on the side of the shack this way I could hear what was going on

Inside I knew about the window because I was the one who cracked it a year previous on one of my investigations my friends and I were throwing rocks up in the air trying to repeat the results of an urban legend that was passed around town it was our Town’s equivalent of

Bloody Mary it was said that if you throw rocks straight up in the air and stand completely still you could hear the screams of a Woman by the name of Amalia before the Rocks hit the ground Amalia was a resident in the town during the 1940s she died when strolling down this

Very street during the newer side of the cemetery’s construction a gravestone fell on her head while being moved to its proper location by a small crane the gravestone was of her late husband whom she allegedly murdered just 3 weeks before her death instead of hearing a

Scream I heard the shatter of glass a few yards away I had broken the window on the side of the shack Looking Back Now I don’t know why I believed in that urban legend anyhow I think it was fabricated to fool kids into hurting themselves in any case I approached the

Window and peered in the gravedigger was not there however void of Life The Shack was not inside the shack to my surprise nine men nine men sitting at a long wooden table wearing tattered blue shrouds the light I had seen was not a light at all but what looked like

Several oil lamps the men were eating what appeared to be a reddish stew it looked gross every man cringed when eating it except for the tall man sitting at the end of the table and the two sitting on either side of him I was deeply confused what was this some sort

Of town meeting I crouched down and listened as The Tall Man began to speak hello young newcomers are you ready to start your trials he spoke with a firm voice it resonated throughout the shack and beckoned even myself to listen yes the six men sitting around the table

Shouted in unison trials what trials The Tall Man spoke again good bloodlight callus will explain the rules I could only presume that the man to the right was callous as he explained everything my memory has always served me well so I was able to re collect everything he

Said as unnerving as it was it seemed that the men in the shack were part of a cult called the blood lights though they never refer to it as a cult that’s just what I gathered from what I heard the trials were more of a game consisting of

Two teams that would dispersed to either side of the cemetery The Tall Man was the leader of the blood lights and this game was his way of initiating new members the winners would be accepted as full-fledged blood lights at this point I couldn’t really believe what I was

Hearing but I kept listening whether it was out of curiosity or fear of the men hearing me if I attempted to leave I was immobile callus continued explaining the rules each team consisted of four members three blood Runners and one Blood Baron it seemed that the newcomers

Would be the runners and the two men standing at the end of the table with the taller man would be the Barons there was one more participant to be discussed the tall man the one that was leading the trials he was the blood king ER he

Was not on either team but was the most important part of the game he kept and guarded what was referred to as the blood I thought that maybe this referred to the red amulet that hung from the tall man’s neck because with every mention of the word blood he would

Firmly clasp The Amulet between his fingers and close his eyes almost as if partaking in a silent prayer the job of the runners was to retrieve the blood from the blood keeper the Barons acted as coaches that would strategize with the runners it actually sounded like a

Fun game that I would partake in myself so far everything seemed simple until the blood keeper spoke again with every wound there is blood with every drop of blood there is light without death there can be no light I had no idea what any of what he said meant but it was

Captivating in a morbid kind of a way the blood keeper stepped over to a tall cupboard at the back of the shack that I hadn’t noticed before he opened it inside was a young woman back found and gagged with eyes wide open feudly attempting to scream for help my heart

Sank this was far beyond your normal run-of-the-mill cult ritual I needed to find help but what if they heard me I was Frozen with fear and I could not take my eyes away the blood keeper spoke again repeat after me the light of blood can only be seen in death the recruits

Chanted the light of blood can only be seen in death just then the blood keeper took a large red Dagger from out of his cloak and grabbed the woman all I could think was that this couldn’t really be happening could it he pierced the knife deep into her gut the others repeated

The light of blood can only be seen in death the blood keeper stabbed her again the light of blood can only be seen in death I could see the life leaving the woman’s face as she tried to yell once more with such an ash and broken expression the blood keeper thrust his

Knife deeper into the woman’s stomach the light of blood can only be seen in death right before she lost Consciousness she turned and looked directly at me she looked indescribably hurt both physically and mentally as tears began to soak her face at that moment I can’t even explain to you how

Noded my stomach was I immediately threw up right next to the shack luckily no one heard me the blood keeper made one final blow into the already dead girl’s neck the others uttered one last time the light of blood can only be seen in death if I had anything left in my

Stomach to vomit I would have done so again but what scared me the most was the conviction with which he stabbed her I could see it in his face it was almost as if there was a reason behind each wound he dealt or at least to him there

Was I stood there paralyzed with fear and watched the killer get up and reach into a brown Satchel that he was wearing over his shoulder he pulled out three empty vials he then continued to fill the vials with the blood that was dripping from his dagger I now realized

That the blood in the game was not his amulet but indeed actual human blood the blood keeper finished explaining the rules to the newcomers there are three vials this gives at most three of you the opportunity to be accepted as blood lights I noticed callus laugh under his

Breath as if three being accepted was unheard of if you see a runner from the opposite team what do you do the newcomers answered together kill if you see a civilian what do you do they answered once more kill I dry heaved for a solid 20 seconds trying to vomit if I

Wasn’t in danger before I now was I should have never come here God if you even exists please get me the hell away from here I thought to myself the blood keeper spoke one last time you must stop at nothing to attain one of these vials all others will be sacrificed your

Thirst for blood must be as strong as your will to live just then the nine men walked towards the shack door to leave and begin the games I ran as fast as I could for the wooded part of the cemetery and hid behind the largest tree

I could find I did not want to wind up like that girl girl in there I thought to myself as I caught my breath pull yourself together you just need to find a good opportunity to escape without being noticed it shouldn’t take much I gathered my nerves and peaked out from

Behind the tree standing right there not 10 ft away were three of the runners and Callas facing me I darted my head back behind the tree did they notice me I peaked again and noticed that their eyes were shut and they were standing eerily still they must have had to do this

Before the game starts to let the blood keeper hide him self from their immediate view I was lucky maybe this was my chance to make a run for it I spoke well I thought too soon I heard callus shout let the trials begin my heart was racing faster than you could

Even imagine my fate was in the hands of the game now I could see callus and the three blood runners in the reflection of a small puddle near my Hiding tree it had rained the previous night they seemed to be strategizing my heart was pounding out of my chest so much so that

I was actually afraid they might hear it I stood there behind my tree becoming exponentially nervous with each and every beat I listened to their nearly inaudible Whispers as the men conspired then when I couldn’t take another second of torture silence cut through the brisk night air much like the blood Keeper’s

Dagger through that poor woman’s neck it sent the coldest chill down my spine why couldn’t I hear them did they leave I was too frightened to glance around the corner and see I looked at the puddle I didn’t see the reflection what do I do

Now I was not going to run through the woods not only with a loud crunch of Autumn Leaves compromise my location but I had seen too many horror movies to know that it wouldn’t be a good idea I also couldn’t run through the cemetery what if a blood Runner spotted me or a

Baron even worse what if the blood keeper saw me I didn’t want to think about it I calmed down as much as I could given my current situation and mustered up enough courage to peer around around the tree they were gone or at least nowhere to be seen I looked

Around and weighed out my options to the left of the cemetery after seemingly endless rows of headstones was more woods and a lot of briers this was not a viable possibility Straight Ahead were more headstones and the shack there was no way I was going to hide in the blood

Lights Den with the dead girl even if I could make it over there to the right was even more headstones but not as many I squinted as I looked off in the distance oh yeah there was a tomb off to the right of the graves it was maybe 100

Yard away I wouldn’t be able to waltz over there without being noticed but maybe just maybe I could jump from tree to tree until I made it there the woods did wrap around the whole Cemetery right up to the back side of the Tomb should I

Risk it or should I stay behind this tree cowering in fear until it’s all over the latter option was looking pretty good but I knew if I stayed here long enough one of them would find me my mom was right she always told me to stay

Away from the cemetery at night do you know the kind of people that hang out there she didn’t know the half of it I took a deep breath and braced myself without so much as a second thought I dashed in the direction of the Tomb and

Hid behind the closest tree I could find I gathered my wits and looked around the graveyard there was still no one to be seen I sprinted to the next tree I took another quick glimpse of my surroundings the coast was still clear before I could

Prepare myself to run to the next tree I felt myself being lifted off of the ground and in that moment my body went numb with utter Panic the next thing I knew before I could even think about what was happening I was a top a tree branch looking directly down at a blood

Runner I didn’t scream and I didn’t try to get away my blood ran cold and I sat still in Terror accepting what was happening I exhaled what I thought would be my last breath but just as I did the blood Runner spoke what’s your name I was too in

Shock to say a word come on now what is your name he spoke more firmly this time and I noticed that he had an English accent his voice also sounded deep and Brash like one’s voice might sound after many years of drinking hard liquor and smoking cigarettes I still couldn’t find

It in me to answer him look I noticed you at the window over there eavesdropping if I wanted you dead I could have pointed you out then I want you to help me help you is all I could say yes I’m going to use you to my

Advantage I take it you know what we’re doing here and you know the rules of the game I nodded slowly still in shock good with you I may be able to turn the tables and get the upper hand my mind was racing but I listened intently on

What he was saying see that tomb over there he pointed at the tomb I had been on my way to before I was lifted off of my feet into a tree I nodded once more that is where the blood keeper is my stomach turned to think this guy may

Have just saved my life here take my cloak he handed me his blue shroud I didn’t know what he wanted me to do with it go ahead put it on or do you want me to gut you where you sit I quickly threw on the cloak go over to the tomb and

Open the door slowly the blood keeper will surely take a swing at you I gulped but continued to listen just as he’s about to end your life with that Dagger of his I’ll swoop in and end his why that’s not part of the game his eyes

Darted at me then he gave me a menacing smile I just realized that I had constructed a full sentence for the first time in his presence right you are maybe I don’t want to be a blood light maybe I’m not here to play this ritualistic sport of theirs maybe what

I’m truly after his Vengeance he looked over at the tomb then looked around the cemetery probably to make sure no one was listening many years ago the man in that tomb the one you know as the blood keeper stole something from me something I will never get

Back that woman in that Shack over there was not the blood light’s first sacrifice not by far the man in that tomb murdered my wife and took her blood for the sake of this game it took me years to find him it took me even longer to be accepted into

Their ranks even as a lowly disciple he stared off into the distance for a moment I could see the pain in his eyes but tonight is the night the blood keeper must die in his own game and spill blood like so many of his victims before him even though his

Actions were admirable I still wanted no part in any of this my life was still in danger danger if you so much as take one step in the opposite direction and deviate from the plan I will come over and kill you myself now get going it

Seems I had no choice in the matter his motives were blinding him from any sort of moral logic just like in the shack when he stood by and watched the blood keeper kill that poor girl he of all people should have made an effort to

Stop him but no the only thing on his mind was revenge and now I was Tangled in an even larger mess than I was before I did what I was told I used the same method that I did before jumping from tree to tree only now I didn’t even

Bother being stealthy the blue shroud protected my identity and I had a feeling I might die tonight anyhow what a waste of a life I made it to the side of the Tomb I stood there with my back to the cold aged Stone my heart began

Racing again I was about to come face to face with the blood keeper a cold-hearted monster I crept along the side of the Tomb until I could finally see the front of it I took a quick glance and noticed that the tomb door was shut I could see the blood Runner

I’d met waiting behind one of the trees near the tomb I didn’t hear him move even once so it was hard for my mind to wrap itself around the idea of him getting from the tree branch we sat on to just a few yards away from me his

Covertness was impressive he just might be able to pull this off my newfound confidence in the runner in no way lessened my fear of the blood keeper I crouched over to the tomb door and stared at it I guess it was now or never I reached for the old rusted handle

Slowly as not to tip off the blood keeper that I was there I also may have been stalling just a bit after all I was opening the door to what very well could be my death just as I was about to actually open the tomb the door swung

Open and hit me straight in the head I fell backwards onto the ground I must have suffered a concussion because everything seemed a little blurry and I could feel myself losing Consciousness I looked up before I passed out I could see the blood keeper standing before me

In the Moonlight I was staring at a blurry vision of death here to kill me and take the blood out of my racing heart I blinked and saw another figure in my fuzzy State I couldn’t make out who was who but one of them was thrusting his dagger into the other over

And over again the prey in this scuffle fell to his knees and then landed face first into the cold Cemetery soil the Victor kept stabbing him with each swing of his dagger he seemed to become more and more Furious because I could hear the piercing sound of metal through

Flesh grow louder I pray that it was the blood keeper being torn apart otherwise I was done for I closed my eyes once again and passed out are you all right there I heard an old man’s voice say as I gradually began to open my eyes are

You okay I opened my eyes fully and looked at the voice speaking to me it was the gravedigger but how what how where did they go is all I could manage to say he looked puzzled where did who go I couldn’t wrap my head around any of this what was going

On I I should be dead the gravedigger stared at me for a second and then changed his expression from confusion to sympathy come on you’ll catch cold out here he invited me into the shack before I walked in I noticed something the newly dug grave I had seen near the

Shack was gone I really didn’t know what to believe at this point but I walked into the shack anyhow the gravedigger whose name I now know to be Pete fed me and gave me a jacket to wear in a frazzled State I couldn’t help but tell

Him everything that I had seen he didn’t look surprised at all I didn’t even think to describe the men by their given titles bloodrunner Baron Etc but Pete responded with it looks like you had a runin with the blood keeper that’s him that’s him how do you know about the

Blood keeper my jaw dropped in disbelief his Spirit has been been haunting this place for over a hundred years now I suppose I just glared at Pete waiting for an explanation he could tell I was still fatigued and confused so he took the time to elaborate he must have

Talked non-stop for over an hour I could tell I struck a nerve with this story in a nutshell the blood lights were a sadistic cult that formed in the late 1800s and started terrorizing the local community binging on a heavy Lust For Blood with each blood light initiation

Brought more deaths they would only use ious cemeteries in the area as a field for their sport digging a six-foot hole each time throwing the casualties SL sacrifices in before they covered it back up who would look for dead bodies in a graveyard right they racked up a

Death toll of over 50 victims before their games were brought to a halt things however went horribly wrong for the blood lights during what turned out to be their final game an Englishman infiltrated their ranks and killed the blood keeper that night with the help of

A young man did I help him kill the blood keeper the young man was never identified the local authorities were able to round up the rest of the blood light soon after the death of the blood keeper left them leaderless and unorganized as Pete explained everything

I couldn’t help but sit there in awe did I relive what that young man went through that night or even Wilder was I that young man did I time travel my logical mind immediately rejected the theory I believe in the Paranormal but time travel is too farfetched for me in

Fact until now I’ve tried to forget about that night I could never wrap my head around it and I still can’t Maybe by writing this I can finally put this experience much like the blood keeper to rest the only thing that kept haunting me after I left the shack that night

Where the fuzzy images left in my mind before I had passed out though I couldn’t fully differentiate who was who I was almost certain that it was the blood keeper who was stabbing the man I was helping albe it against my will what if nothing Supernatural happened here at

All and the gravedigger lied to me so I wouldn’t divulge my story to anyone else without sounding completely and utterly crazy what if he was a blood light too I also could have sworn I saw a shovel on the ground right where the 6-ft deep

Hole used to be what if no it can’t be they certainly would have killed me rather than construct an elaborate ruse to keep me quiet right I’m just paranoid one thing is for sure though I will never Venture into any Cemetery at night ever again whether or not the

Blood keeper is dead or still out there making his rounds special thanks to Christopher Maxim for allowing me to read his story The Blood keeper you can find more of Christopher’s work Linked In the description below also special thanks to creeps mcpasta for Lending his voice for

The part of the blood Runner if you’d like to learn more dark and disturbing topics be sure to follow my Facebook fan page because you won’t want to miss what’s next and I’ll see you next time there’s something terribly wrong with my son by Christopher Maxim there’s something terribly wrong with my son he’s only four months old but I can still tell that he isn’t acting like himself he used to laugh whenever I made funny faces but now he just stares at me he stares at me with a blank yet yet strange expression he used

To cry at night just like a normal infant but now he just lies there looking at the ceiling from the comfort of his crib it’s downright weird I’m not even sure if he’s sleeping anymore every time I get up in the middle of the night to check on him he’s just lying there

With that same facial expression staring at nothing he stares at nothing that is is until I enter the room then he turns his attention to me I don’t like it I truly don’t I decided to take the little guy to the doctor’s office shortly after this string of occurrences began as

Unsettling as the ordeal seemed I was more concerned than anything else this was my only child after all and being a single parent tends to leave little room for me to do much else but worry sometimes I wish wish I had someone to share the burden with for now

It’s just me and him upon arriving at the doctor’s office I noticed that there were others in the waiting room a mother her son and their service dog I’m faily certain the mother was deaf the boy looked to be about 3 years of age he looked over at us and smiled but his

Amused demeanor was abruptly replaced with what appeared to be a look of Terror he scrambled over to his mom’s leg and hid behind it this is when the dog looked over at us and began barking wildly it was the weirdest thing the mother managed to calm both her son and

Dog down and the three of them took their turn with Dr Harrison they eventually left leaving only my son and me we continued to wait while Dr Harrison prepared for our appointment the time that then passed must have mounted to only a few mere minutes but

It felt like a hell of a lot longer I could see my son staring at me out of the corner of my field of vision I could feel his eyes piercing through mine even though I refused to look back at him I can’t explain it but an odd sense of

Anxiety began growing Within Me luckily Dr Harrison came out and saved me from my private anguish it sounds awful but I could not bear to be alone with my son any longer I spoke with Dr Harrison and explained everything that had been going on being careful not to tell him about

What had just happened in the waiting room I didn’t want him thinking I was crazy he performed the usual test on my son and told me that he was a perfectly normal and healthy baby he even told me that I was lucky that he was so calm at this age

Lucky really I could not wrap my head around this no I wasn’t and no my son was not normal normal babies don’t act this way they just don’t I could have ignored the situation and chocked it up to an odd phase that he was going through one that would hopefully pass in

The coming months but not only did it not pass it also became much much worse I tucked my son into his crib just a few nights ago and tried my best to ignore the blank glance that he threw my way I turned off the light and went to

Bed this was my normal routine at roughly 3: in the morning I woke up I don’t know why I woke up at such an odd time I usually sleep through the night like a baby for lack of a less ironic phrase I am however glad that I woke up

When I did due to what I found upon waking well glad in a sense there on all fours crawling about on my bed was none other than my son how was that even possible I quickly looked over at the crib it was just how I left it there was

No way he could have crawled out of there at his age he surely would have hit the floor with a loud thud and injured himself so how exactly did he get from his crib to my bed how I put my son back in his crib and tried to go

Back to sleep I found this task to be nearly impossible as I couldn’t get the image of my son out of my head while he was crawling on my bed he was crawling towards me not only this but he still had that blank expression on his face

Staring at me as he crawled his eyes never wavering he didn’t blink not even once why was he crawling in my direction what would he do when he finally reached me the questions that filled my frightened brain were too much for me to Simply go back to sleep I stayed up for

The rest of the night and spent most of it staring at my son’s crib eventually my weariness did catch up with me shortly after the sun came up over the horizon I passed out it must have been a good hour before I woke up again after

Rubbing my eyes a few times and looking over at the crib I realized something my son was not in it I jumped up quickly and investigated I tossed his blankets around only to find that it really was empty he was gone I looked over at my

Bed but he was not there either I turned my apartment upside down looking for him I checked every room every little Nook in cranny I could possibly find while doing this there was quite a large knot in the pit of my my stomach I could neither tell if I was worried for my

Son’s safety or if I was just plain scared perhaps it was a bit of both I finished scouring my apartment and went back to my room to catch my breath when I saw nearly took it away again there lying in his crib was my son as calm as

Could be I walked over to the crib and just stared at him he of course stared back with that unnerving expression of his I realized then that I was truly frightened of an infant I looked at him for a few more moments before speaking what are you his eyes widened upon hearing me

Speak I cannot be certain but I think that maybe for just a split second my son might have grinned at me it has been almost a week since my son crawled up onto my bed somehow since then I have set up a video camera in the

Room just to see what it might catch the camera makes me feel safer than I did before I know it sounds ridiculous but I think it is the camera that’s keeping him from doing anything else either way at least I manag to get a little bit of

Sleep at night now that it’s there the camera is of a very decent quality it has night vision HD audio capture everything I need to watch over the actions of my son at night if he even so much as moves a limb I will see and hear

It I finally had a way to combat my woes but setting up this expensive piece of equipment did make me feel foolish it’s one thing to monitor your child for their own safety but I was in fact spying on my son to see if he was up to

Something it wasn’t for his sake safety it was for mine it sounds crazy I know but what happened next did confirm my suspicions if only to a small extent until last night the footage was completely normal my son slept through the night as I tossed and turned I think

That perhaps he was pretending to sleep for the camera’s sake the second night of recording however was a bit strange the first few hours were normal much like the night before but that is when my son did something surprising using his tiny undeveloped arms and legs he

Stood up in his crib using the bars to lean on He adjusted himself to face the camera and stared at it he stared for a solid 12 and 1 half minutes with that horribly unsettling blank expression of his before lying back down the part that really gets me me is about halfway

Through the clip where he actually lets go of the bars and is standing up on his own for a few moments this to me was utterly inexplicable I was shocked a plethora of theories bombarded my mind at an alarming rate from the mundane to the Sinister maybe he was

Just Advanced for his age having the ability to not only stand up straight but also escape the confines of his crib and crawl up onto my bed like he’d done almost a week previously I quickly discarded this thought deeming it nearly impossible perhaps he isn’t my son at all maybe he

Is something else entirely not even a he but an it I discarded this Theory as well not wanting to give in to any Notions of the supernatural it just wasn’t logical I knew I would have to speak with Dr Harrison again to intentionally but my

Weary mind at ease I had already made an appointment to see Dr Harrison again later in the week but after seeing this footage I had him squeeze me in early I made my way to his office once again son and all and patiently sat in the waiting

Room I paid no attention to my son’s Blank Stare like before but it still made me feel uneasy as we waited his stare became increasingly more difficult to ignore for whatever reason I felt compelled to look back at him even though I knew it would make me anxious

To do so even so I turned my head downwards and stared at him his eyes there was something wrong with his eyes I couldn’t quite put my finger on it but there was something terribly off about them they were the same eyes they still seemed different I don’t quite know how

To explain it luckily Dr Harrison came out of hiding putting an end to our nerve-wracking staring mat what a relief I don’t know why but I feel like I would have just kept staring at my son seemingly to no end rather than dwelling on my inner fearful

Inclinations I focused on the task at hand skipping the seemingly normal parts of the video I showed Dr Harrison the odd occurrence from the second night he watched in awe as my four-month-old son stood up on his own and faced the camera becoming impatient I asked for his

Thoughts on it know what he had to say he actually congratulated me on having such a welldeveloped child he said that my son was Advanced for his age and that he was glad to have helped him along in the process as if he had anything to do with it telling him

About the night he crawled onto my bed he did know results either it only added to his already oversaturated ego I was absolutely flabbergasted by his reaction in any case I did manage to get the receptionist to refer me to a specialist in infant behavior on my way out I

Desperately needed someone to talk to that wasn’t completely oblivious to the matter I went home both angry at Dr Harrison and exhausted from the ordeal mentally as well as physically I put my son in his crib being careful not to look at his eyes again as much as I felt

The need to I then went out to the living room and sat down on the couch in an attempt to unwind I shut my eyes for about a moment and quickly fell asleep I dreamt in my dream I was sitting on the couch just like I was before falling

Asleep I tried getting up but my legs and arms felt very heavy and sluggish I gave into the situation and just sat there I took a look around and noticed that the room looked a little bit different the frames I had put up on the wall containing pictures of my wife and

Son were now empty it was then that I began to feel dizzy as a strange knot grew in my stomach I felt a need to look over to my left towards the bedroom there standing up on his own was my son he was at the doorway to the bedroom

Just staring at me before I could even privately react he began walking in an awkward slush of movement my son walked towards me his stride was grotesque and unatural causing the knot in my stomach to grow larger he continued to walk until finally reaching a spot just a few

Inches from where I was sitting he reached his hand out towards me as I watched in horror what was he going to do why was this happening why I woke up before my son’s hand could reach me I jumped up in fear still half asleep and

Ran into the bedroom I rushed over to the crib and a wave of relief overcame me he was still in there staring blankly up at me like he always did thank goodness I walked walked back over to the couch and sat down to collect my thoughts it seems that even in my sleep

I’m not safe this mess that I found myself in is causing me not only a great deal of stress but also to have nightmares I need it to end I will be giving the specialist a call shortly to set up an appointment in the meantime it’s back to square one trying to get

Some shuty while recording the actions of my son in the hopes of finding some answers it seems that this is what our little family has come to We Now lie at the cross-section of strange and completely mad I for one just want everything to be over and done with so I

Can finally get a good night’s rest I have called Mr wit The Specialist and we’ve set up an appointment for next week I would feel enthused about this had the situation not escalated ated last night it seems my son’s Behavior has taken another turn for the worst

Unfortunately I seem to be the one and only target for his nightly Antics many times during this ordeal including now I’ve asked but a simple question that I can never seem to get a clear answer to why me while we’re on the subject of questions another one has haunted me as

Of late why does my son act in the manner that he does I really need to know why and then there’s the dreams what is their significance I could understand if it were only the one but that is not the case seems that every time I close my

Eyes a new film reel begins rolling with every new movie starring my son as the antagonist every narrative is structured differently but the plot Remains the Same I’m always Frozen and unable to move whilst my son finds new and unique ways to terrify me before finally making

His way to wherever I am I then wake up in a cold sweat as frightened as I was while asleep I suppose it doesn’t matter how each narrative is woven I always end up caught in my son’s malevolent web even so these nightmares could just be the byproduct of an overactive

Anxiety-ridden imagination they are probably meaningless at least that is what I tell myself to feel better about them but that doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t meaningless besides the fear I feel while dreaming is nothing compared to what I feel while awake like the feeling I had last night for instance

Instead of explaining to you the events as they unfolded I will start off by portraying them through the footage if only for the sake of transparency you will understand what I mean as we begin up to a specific point the footage was almost identical to the video I captured

The other night my son stood up on his own and faced the camera followed by what I am now convinced might be a perturbed and menacing gaze this is when things get a little strange or should I say stranger after a few moments of my son staring the camera seems to fall off

Of the shelf that I had placed it on Landing lens first onto the floor that is when I woke up before continuing I would like to share some of my thoughts on what might have happened it is true that the camera may have simply fallen

Off of the Shelf but I swear that I placed it in a position that left it secure it may also be important to note that nothing else that was on the Shelf had fallen off so whatever did cause the camera’s untimely descent didn’t disturb anything else I personally believe that

My son somehow caused the camera to fall when he stared at it I’m aware of how that sounds but it isn’t as far-fetched when considering everything else that has been going on I’m not really sure one way or the other for now we’ll get back to the incident

In question from this point forward I will explain the events from my perspective if only for a clearer picture than the Fallen camera can provide I woke up to a loud thud and jumped up immediately I was worried that it might have been my son falling out of

His crib upon further inspection I noticed that he once again had vanished after tossing his blankets around in his crib and looking for him I heard the once familiar sound of my my son crying I abruptly stopped my search and Stood Still stunned my son had not displayed a

Single emotion since his odd behavior started let alone shed a tear I was most certainly taken aback by this I took a moment to process everything before regaining my composure the sound of my son crying was coming from the direction of the living room I ran out there as fast as I could

But the crying stopped almost as suddenly as it had begun I turned the light on but my son was nowhere to be found the crying started up again a few moments later only then it was coming from the kitchen around the corner I ran out there only to have the crying stop

Once more and to find my son was not there either what the hell was going on I sat down on the kitchen floor and attempted to calm myself down I hadn’t noticed before but I was shaking from the adrenaline why was this happening how was any of this possible I asked

Myself these questions but knew not the answers nor how to find them I couldn’t even find my son for that matter seemed my nightmares were bleeding into my Waking Life and there wasn’t a single thing that I could do to stop it I continued to sit on the floor unable to

Keep from shaking this is when the sound of crying started up again this time it was coming from back in the bedroom where this impromptu late night adventure began as I ran from the kitchen to the bedroom my heart pounded in my chest I was scared I didn’t know

What I would find upon entering my bedroom but whatever it could have been simply scared the hell out of me even still I had to keep running I had to see if my son was safe even if he wasn’t himself and so that’s exactly what I did

Upon entering the room the sound of crying ceased I ran over to the crib and saw my son lying there he was once again staring at me with that Eerie expression of his I was relieved that he was safe but still frightened by what had happened my breathing became irregular

And a tightness formed in my chest it was the onset of a panic attack I think I needed to take yet another moment to pull myself together I walked over to my bed and sat down hoping that I wouldn’t fall apart right then and there I had to

Stay focused and keep this family functional somehow the stress and lack of sleep were taking a very large toll on me despite this I tried my best to explain the night’s events to myself in a logical f fashion it became quickly apparent that I could not while replaying these events in my head

However I did realize something I stood up and walked back over to the crib where my son was lying I hesitantly reached my hand out towards him I carefully brushed my fingers across his cheeks and noticed that they were not wet there had been no Tears my appointment with Miss dwit was earlier today I must say that I do feel a bit strange I don’t really think I can trust anyone anymore my son and I are going to have to deal with this issue on our own it is apparent to me that nobody

Can help us not Dr Harrison not Mr wit not a single human being on this Earth as alone as this Revelation makes me feel I somehow feel empowered at the same time it has put things into perspective and is allowing me to take my life into my own hands no matter how

Messy my situation is deep down I know that I can get through this at least I hope I can allow me to explain what happened after another restless night with my son I sluggishly began getting ready for my appointment with Mr wit for whatever reason I was very nervous this

Was odd as I have no reason to feel that way I should have been excited if anything after all this quite possibly could have been the first step in helping my son with whatever ailed him even still I could not shake the feeling skipping breakfast due to a loss of

Appetite from my nerves I quickly left with my son the drive took roughly 40 minutes as Mr wit’s office was in the next town over I wish that I could say that the drive went smoothly but it did not about 15 minutes in I decided to

Check on my son with the aid of my rearview mirror he had been silent the whole time but I put off checking on him until that moment due to my own fear of his unnatural gaze I knew I wouldn’t like what I saw when looking in my

Mirror but I did not know to what extent upon looking at my mirror I noticed that my son was gone his booster seat was still there but it was empty my heart sunk as I quickly turned into the breakdown Lane and slammed on my brakes

I stumbled out of my car in haste and opened the back door I scoured the entire vehicle looking for him I flipped over his booster seat tore everything out of the back of the car that wasn’t tied down and nearly ripped up the upholstery looking for him

Despite my best efforts my son was nowhere to be found I wondered for a moment if I had left my son at home I tried to remember everything I had done that morning but it was all a blur I blamed this on my lack of sleep just before convincing myself that I needed

To drive back home and see if he was still there I realized that I hadn’t looked everywhere just yet I know it sounds a bit crazy but I felt a need to check the trunk it is true that I didn’t look there but it was of course with

Good reason how in the world could a baby get from his booster seat to the trunk in a moving car but then again how could he do any of the things he had been doing recently maybe just maybe my son was in there in a confused stoer I

Reluctantly unlocked and open the trunk sure enough my son was there he was lying on his back in the same way that he lies in his crib and was of course staring up at me I would have been shocked that he was in there but I was

More so fed up my son’s hij Jinks were exhausting they continued to take their toll on me even in the middle of the highway I wanted it all to stop I put my son back in his booster seat and got back on the road pretending that nothing had happened this was not before

Checking him for any injuries or bruising there were none this didn’t surprise me either nothing did I chose to focus on the road and my journey ahead as opposed to the peculiarities that seemed to control my day-to-day life it was all I could do to keep from

Going completely in irrev EV ably insane I arrived at Mr wit’s office a little late due to the incident on the highway because of this I quickly grabbed my son luckily he was still there and rushed into the building hoping that she would still take us I hurried up to her office

Door and opened it revealing two people behind it the two people were none other than Dr Harrison and presumably Mr wit they had apparently been discussing something before I barged in what the hell confused I nearly shouted at them demanding to know what was going on Dr

Harrison came over to me ignoring my son altogether and placed a hand on my shoulder he told me that Mr wit was not a specialist in infant Behavior she was a specialist in adult behavior in other words he said she was a psychiatrist I was dumbfounded was this some sort of

Intervention why the secrecy what exactly was their motive here again I ask why me I tried to turn around and leave but Dr Harrison pleaded with me he he seemed genuinely concerned about my well-being as much as I dislike the idea of talking to a therapist this was the

First time Dr Harrison had shown any real concern during this ordeal I decided that it would be in my best interest to humor him if only as a courtesy I had thought about seeing a therapist anyway so what did I really have to lose Dr Harrison said he would

Take care of my son during the session so I could be alone with Mr wit he said there could be no distractions or disruptions I knew I could trust him with my son so I handed him over Dr Harrison awkwardly held him almost as if he’d never held an infant before this

Was weird but I brushed it off before long I was sitting in a chair across from the one and only M doit it was time to open up it seemed mwit was young and attractive she had long black hair tied up in a bun glasses a white button-up shirt and a

Black skirt that came down to her knees her demeanor was alluring and her voice possessed a certain charm about it it was comforting as well as pleasing there was just the right amount of sex appeal there to still consider her appearance to be one of Elegance in class I could

See right through this Ploy the manner in which she conducted herself was created to make it easier for me to spill my guts so to speak it was a ruse to get me to divulge my inner workings my secrets and darkest thoughts I decided that I would not succumb to her

Prying ways we began to talk about normal things I talked about my place of employment my home and the people I associated with without noticing it her questions became more and more intrusive she asked about my childhood my parents and important events in my life I didn’t notice her verbal intrusions at first

Because she shared with me her past as well with every story or answer I gave her she offered me one in return we even laughed together about some of these stories it was nice to be honest it felt like I was on a first date she was very

Easy to talk to and I had no issue with giving her the information that she desired but that is when she went too far after discussing some arbitrary events from my college days Mr wit seemingly jumped the gun and asked me about my wife like glass abruptly shattering the

Immersion was broken still similar to some first dates I’ve had we began to argue and I mean really argue it went on for what must have been an hour we began yelling at each other I don’t know why but it felt like I was fighting with a

Good friend at times it even felt like I was fighting with my wife I can say now that Mr wit is very good at her job and is quite the actor like many fights I’ve had with friends this one eventually came to an end in a calm and collected

Manner we actually made up and apologized to each other it even felt like we were closer because of this I guess there was just something about this woman that made it difficult to stay mad at her in any case I decided to discuss with her what had happened to my

Wife she didn’t even have to ask again I just started talking bewildered and surprised she sat down on her desk and and intently listened my wife and I had a picture perfect relationship I met her in college and we instantly became close friends we knew everything about each

Other and depended on one another for support during tough times we could always count on the other one being there it was a great feeling to have just knowing this we knew that we liked each other but never once did we talk about it on the day of our college

Graduation I simply pulled out a ring and asked her to marry me she shouted the word yes at me for attacking me with a tight embrace it was a very spur of the moment thing for me to do I didn’t plan it either the idea came to mind

That very day even still I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life after settling down and putting our college degrees to use my wife became pregnant with our son it was not planned but the two of us could not have been happier about it I for one could think

Of no other person I wanted to have a child with things were looking up for for us until about 9 months later that is I won’t go into too much detail but my wife died while giving birth to our son the list of complications that led

To her demise was a very long one it was so long in fact that it made her death seem inevitable I have since come to terms with her passing put all of my love and affection into our son not only for my sake but for hers that is why I am so

Desperate in my Hunt For answers he is all I have left of her he is all I have left of us Mr wit did not interrupt me even once she was turning out to be not only a great listener but also a great friend actually felt good after opening

Up to her I’d never told anyone about my wife before or at least not to that length it was cathartic in a way but of course Mr wit and I were not friends we had just met this was a business call a favor to Dr Harrison her following questions reflected this after hearing

My long and drawn out tale Mr wit asked me about my son and what had happened to him I had no idea what she was talking about she asked confusing questions about what happened to him right after he was born I simply told her that I took him home she continued her assault

Of questions but my answer was the same each time what did this have to do with anything anyways seeing as she could not get through to me mwit took off her glasses and stopped asking questions instead she decided to tell me some things the first thing she told me

Caused a sharp chill to resonate throughout my entire body she told me that my son was dead before continuing she gave me a moment to react I most certainly did I yelled at her like I did before but she did not yell back she was letting me alleviate my own anger it

Seemed I attempted to storm off but she insisted that I sit down and listen to what she had to say whatever pseudo friendship we may have had ended the moment she told me my son was no longer alive but she still had a comforting charm about her I decided to listen to

Her that did not mean I had to believe her I sat back down in my chair and remained silent I looked at Mr wit angrily while she spoke nothing but lies she told me that due to the same complications that killed my wife my son too passed away shortly after being born

It was her expert opinion that unable to cope with the loss of my wife and son I had a nervous breakdown the breakdown was so severe that my brain needed a way to repair itself that is where my son comes in apparently it was easier for me

To pretend as well as hallucinate that my son was still alive rather than come to terms with both his and her deaths a few unexpected tears rolled down my cheeks when she told me this I’m not exactly sure why Mr Wick continued by telling me that Dr Harrison was very

Concerned over all of this he tried his best to play along but he couldn’t stand to see me like this anymore it seems that every time I went to his office with my son he simply pretended he was there he also gave fake reactions when looking at blank footage of an empty

Crib he did this for me as a friend knowing that I had lost my family I could not take any more of what she was saying it was too much I attempted once more to get up and leave but she begged me to stay she told me to think of the

Little things that had happened to me she said my brain was trying desperately to tell me that my son wasn’t there the reason I noticed my son ‘s eyes looking so off as because the one and only time I saw his eyes was at the hospital after

He had passed he never laughs or cries because only living babies can do these things the crying I heard that one night was only the memory of him crying when he was born the only time he ever shed a tear the pictures Vanishing in my dream

Were showing me that both my wife and son are truly gone last but not least was the terrifying nature of it all according to Mr wit my son and his Antics did not scare me what truly frightened me was coming to terms with his death I let her finish before

Getting up and angrily walking by her to the door she could tell I didn’t believe a word of what she had told me as such she tried one last time to reach out to me she reminded me of how impossible everything was that had occurred with my

Son she begged me to let her help I turned around before opening the door looking her straight in the eyee I said one last thing to her I’m sorry Mr wit but I will never give up my son thank you to Christopher Maxim for writing and allowing me to read this

Actually had but the account seems so well-rounded that I’m suspicious of it I have a niggling feeling that it might come from something already published I detest plagiarism in any form and and for that reason I’d hate to take the account build upon it then later discover I had taken something from

Another writer there’s also the possibility that it is an urban myth or legend that I’m unaware of but the truth is the story bothers me I really would like to know if anyone here has actually heard of it I’ll do my best to relate it

To you now is it just a published story or based on a genuine experience many years ago my dad had a drinking buddy who was also a school teacher they knew each other well and would often catch up over a few pints discussing everything from work to politics to almost anything you could

Think of the usual Pub banter one night one specific conversation they had together always stuck in my dad’s mind it was a quiet midweek evening and their local was quite empty with just a few of the regulars propping up the bar as they sat there the conversation ebbed and

Flowed between the drinkers and the staff eventually landing on the topic of ghosts more specifically did they exist and had anyone there ever seen one of course as these things go they all took turns describing strange Supernatural occurrences Things That Go Bump in the night all of the stories were the same

And that they were secondhand in nature the accounts were of friends family and acquaintances who had encountered the Paranormal but no one there could claim to have seen a ghost themselves no one but for the school teacher the story he told my dad and the others there that

Day was that he had been privy to something quite frightening a few years earlier in a suburb of Glasgow called goven Hill he had an aunt the man was caught between moves and needed somewhere to sleep for a few nights and so she happily took him in it was a

Small flat with only one bedroom but there was a sofa bed in the lounge which was not entirely uncomfortable and would at least provide him with somewhere to rest before sorting out his living arrangements after a nice meal and some polite conversation the school teacher’s

Aunt went to her room for an early night he was tired and hoped to get to sleep soon enough as well and after pulling out the sofa bed switched off the lights and closed his eyes quickly he fell asleep he awoke to Darkness it was was

Still the middle of the night and he wondered why he had stirred considering he was usually a heavy sleeper and rarely woke before the morning then he heard it a noise there was definitely something in the room with him the sound was unusual but not unidentifiable it was not unlike someone breathing quickly

Followed by a sharp inhalation which the school teacher could only describe as a sniffing sound readying himself to get out of bed turn on the light and see what was causing the unusual noise his eyes now adapted to the pitch black while no details could be seen the

Breathing and sniffing noises began to Edge closer to him he was now convinced that there was something unwelcome in the room with him and by the shuffling noise which now accompanied it he was certain it was substantial of course he was panicked part of him wanted to rush

Into his aunt’s room and barricade the door another part preferred to stay still and not disturb whoever was there perhaps they had a knife the thought of some burglar stumbling around in the dark with a blade only made him more apprehensive he decided that he would lay there quietly and bide his time

Maybe the housebreaker would just take something and leave without altercation but then what of his aunt had she been hurt then a warm moist breath blew across his face as someone one leaned over him trembling he reached out his hand instinctively touching something cold and damp hovering only inches away

Leaping out of bed in horror he knocked over a table as he made his way to the door tripping clumsily and landing on the floor with a painful thud the school teacher’s Aunt found him in the hallway dazed yelling for her to get out of the flat she seemed strangely unafraid and

After switching on all the lights showed him that the place was quite empty including where he had slept calming his nerves with a drink and a snack she sat him down and explained what she believed had happened The Story Goes and this part I know to be true that underneath

Goven Hill and therefore his aunt’s flat there once lay a large network of prosperous and important Minds in the 19th and early 20th centuries while they had been the sight of many unfortunate cavens gas leaks and accidents the aunt was convinced that she had often heard

In that room the noises of those who had lost their lives down there while she had never experienced anything quite as potent as the school teacher who was visibly shaken she was more concerned about the poor Apparition of an old pit mule trapped in darkness trying to sniff

Locked away in his den pouring through archaic texts and studying ancient hymns before he devoted his life to investigating the validity of ageold Legends from bygone cultures around the world from the philosophers Stone to the Fountain of Youth David had researched Tales of eternal life stemming out of

Every corner of the globe he had even focused his efforts on more obscure lesser known lore like the aanu Frog of Ghana Cala tribe and the disturbing story out of sloon Croatia that had come to be known regionally as the night of the star child it wasn’t until he

Reached his mid-40s that he was able to piece together a trail of evidence that gave his quest Direction he had begun to recognize patterns throughout his studies of History tiny consistencies buried in long-forgotten writings reoccurring symbols carved into time worn relics peculiar regularities that had no right turning up in the places

And times that they did and after more than two decades all of his findings had led him to one place a lone Monastery sitting at top an icy mountain in eastern Tibet David had braved the conditions in order to speak to the wise holy men he believed held the secret he had spent

Most of his adult life searching for but when he arrived he found the temple mostly empty save for one old monk with tired eyes pangs of disappointment surged inside the gut of the frustrated traveler when he first laid eyes on the elderly hermit after all he had come so

Far and been so sure that the monastery housed the key to his deepest desire but the Deep age lines in the old Monk’s face told him a different story it told the story of muscle atrophy the story of cognizance withering away of Bones becoming brittle the old Monk’s face

Told the story of Aging the story of impending Unstoppable death with a pair of wrinkled weathered hands The Hermit seized David by the arm and led him inside away from the cold the entrance hall of the temple was Barren a row of torches lined the interior’s gray stone walls providing

Only just enough light to illuminate the path ahead of them the old monk still clutching tight to his new guest’s arm began to hobble down the dim Corridor together the two navigated through the darkness in silence until they reached a winding staircase plunging downward into the monastery’s shad shadowy depths with

His free hand the elderly man removed the last torch off the wall and gestured towards the stairway what exactly is this place David had asked the holy man as they began their descent but the old monk said nothing instead he directed his gaze ahead his tired eyes focusing

On nothing but the twisting steps in front of him David felt alone as they snaked their way into into the abyss like a tiny rock floating by itself in the vacuum of empty space millions of miles removed from the closest Celestial body the pangs of disappointment he had

Been feeling just minutes earlier had begun to mutate into something else entirely paranoia angst and Dread were now running rampant inside of his head weaving themselves into an Indescribable Terror just just when he thought the black void he had found himself in would drive him mad a golden Radiance caught

David’s eye as the two proceeded closer to it the source of the globe became clear and David realized that his research had not been in vain the base of the stairs came into sight they appeared to open up into a small chamber with nothing but a large red door built

Into the wall beautiful ornate symbols were inscribed into the face of of it Egyptian hieroglyphics Sumerian designs and a variety of other ancient Multicultural characters lined the perimeter of the impressive structure by the time they reached the bottom step the old Monk’s torch was no longer necessary a brilliant light was seeping

Out of every crack in the door flooding the chamber in a golden hue the old monk released David’s arm and raised a wrinkled weathered hand towards The Shining spectacle before for them it was here that he uttered those words those words that had hearkened back to a simpler time for the

Explorer what you seek is just beyond this door young man just beyond this door David repeated A Rush of excitement swelled through him he had found it he had succeeded where Pon Deon and thousands of others like him had failed he had located the secret to immortality David reached for the handle

Of the door and with a quick tug jerked it open a blinding light burst forth enveloping the room swallowing David and the elderly holy man he fell to the floor clutching at his chest as the light intensified so too did a searing pain he could feel in his heart it was

As though the entire core of his body had caught fire the pain was unbearable the most excruciating thing he had ever experienced in his life question started whirling through his head what is going on how could it feel so horrible he had never once read in all of his studies that the youth

Rejuvenation process would be a painful one something had to be wrong summoning every last ounce of strength David crawled along the ground until he reached the door he propped his shoulder up against it and drove his feet as hard as he could into the ground in an

Attempt to force it shut with a thud the door snapped closed causing the blinding light to disappear behind it and leaving only a Golden Glow to wash over the room once more down on the floor again David rubbed his eyes while he waited for the pain in his chest to subside when his

Vision had regained Focus he looked up to scan his surroundings what he saw ignited an inferno of Terror that burned merciless inside of his body spreading like wildfire looking down on him was a familiar face one he had watched age in the mirror every single day of his life

His face and it was sporting a satisfied smirk he was somehow staring up at himself as if another person was wearing his skin like a costume shock and confusion overran his mind no longer able to gaze upon the impostor he attempted to bury his face in his palms

But when he peered down the sight sent pulse after pulse of panic through his very essence his hands were no longer his but he knew he recognized them they were wrinkled and weathered hands he had seen before hands that once belonged to an old monk with tired
