Around two years ago, my dad bought a house at countryside that had been empty for seven years. The house was located in a quite remote place, there’re forest and thick vegetations everywhere.
The house was once owned a by man who lived with his only son as his wife had passed away couple years ago. The man then died of cardiac arrest and his twenty something son left away the house and moved out to another city and stayed with his uncle. The house was then handed over to their distant relative, a single-living poor old lady to be taken care of. The son of the ownr cut off the electricity because he couldn’t afford the bill so that old lady lived all alone with just a kerosene lamp in hand each night. After a year, she then died of old age, all alone in the darkness as she was found out to be dead by her neighbors two days after her death. The house was then abandoned for another one year before got sold to someone before my dad.
The previous owner of the house only stayed there for less than a year. He met my dad at our house and told him that there’s something a little bit peculiar about the house but he didn’t explain further what he meant. My dad bought the house anyway because he liked how serene the place was and it would be a perfect place for our family vacation. Besides, the price bid was great.
When I first came to the house with my dad and my brother, it was a huge mess. Broken ceilings, dirty floor, paint wall peeled off, everything was chaos. It would take some time to clean all these up I said to myself. As further I inspected the house, I saw two big mirrors facing each other at the living room’s wall. There’s long vertical rust on one of them that looked like it’s been scratched by some hands. Then I also found out a small pentagram drawing on the wall outside the house. It was drawn by charcoal. It must be a prank pulled by some brats here I thought. The house took two months to get cleaned, repaired, and filled up with furnitures.
I didn’t visit the house again for a long time after that cleaning up stuffs but my brother did. He went with his friends and stayed over there for two days. When he went home, he told me that on second night he stayed there, he saw a woman with really long hair and dressed in white walked pass him when was watching tv in living room. It was around eleven p.m. and all his friends were already asleep. He said he couldn’t see her face because it’s all covered with hair. That woman didn’t walk, it’s more like she slid past him before she disappeared behind the staircase to second floor of the house.
I didn’t believe his story. It’s was a bullcrap I said him that. Until about four months ago I went there again by myself on weekend to look for a quiet place to stay after a long busy week.
It was only ten o’clock in the morning. I was lying down on my sofa listening some music on my phone. I felt a bit drowsy. When I picked up my phone and changed to a song from Joe Cocker, suddenly its front camera snapped a picture by itself. I heard a clicking sound and saw the screen went blinked for a second. I was confused. My phone screen was displaying music player app (PowerAmp) interface and I was certain there’s no way it could took a photo while on it and there’s no such feature on the app. I looked at my phone screen closely and then I realized there’s a picture attached as album art to the song. The picture was dark, I couldn’t see anything except a small figure in upper right corner of the picture.
Soon after when I tried to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise and fix the lighting, I realize the figure was somehow resembling a distorted face of a man.
Really it is really scary😨😵
