Mystery in Darby
The crisp autumn air clawed at Detective Josh Gaines' lungs as he exited his patrol car, the familiar weight of dread settling in his gut. The Buckingham Funeral Home loomed before him, its imposing black edifice a stark contrast to the vibrant foliage clinging to the neighboring trees. This wasn't his first visit, but the circumstances this time were far more unsettling.

Creepy Hotel
The giggles of my niece and her friends echoed through the room, a stark contrast to the tense silence that hung between me, Jay, Jarret, and Anthony. A childish prank had sent the boys fuming, stomping off down the dimly lit hallway. The air itself seemed to crackle with the promise of something sinister lurking just beyond the reach of the flickering overhead lights.

Who waved from my mother's flat?
Yesterday, I had an inexplicable experience during my visit to my mom's home in Belgium that has left me baffled. Every few months, I travel from Paris to see her, keeping up a tradition we've had for 17 years - she waves goodbye to me from her third floor window as I walk to the bus stop down the path outside her apartment building.

Horrifying shower guest
The steam billowed around me, a comforting curtain as I sighed, the day's stress melting away with each drop of hot water. My eyes drifted shut, the only sound the rhythmic thrumming of the showerhead and the whoosh of my ragged breaths. I was a tangled knot of exhaustion, and the warm water was slowly unraveling me.

What Did I Just Witness?
The eight-year-old me clung to the worn familiarity of the downstairs couch. Sleep evaded me, not because of the flickering light from the TV, but because of the inky blackness that lurked beyond the living room. Every creak of the floorboard, every sigh of the wind seemed amplified in the dark, a monster waiting to pounce. My dad, a comforting presence beside me, was fast asleep. Mom wouldn't be home until late, another night shift at the hospital. The thought of being alone sent shivers down my spine.

The Last Resident
This story took place in the spring of 2018, when my friend and I were 21 years old. We had met in high school and bonded over our shared love of outdoor adventure. There's an old railroad-turned-gravel trail that winds through the heavy forests and valleys near our midwestern town for over 10 miles.

Watcher at night
When I was a child, I would occasionally sense an intense, ominous presence watching me as I lay in bed at night. These experiences were rare, perhaps a few times a year. I would keep my eyes shut and try to ignore the feeling until it passed or I fell back asleep.

Someone found out where I lived
Back in 2018, I started playing PlayStation again after being an Xbox loyalist for many years. Some of my first games were Fortnite and Minecraft. Initially, I only played with kids from school. It was fun at first, but they started acting like jerks both online and in person. I eventually got sick of the cyberbullying and blocked them all. I even had to change schools, but that's a story for another time.

Dark Room
I had completely forgotten not only where I was, but also who I was - my name and even basic facts like the existence of mobile phones. It felt as if I had just woken up with no awareness or memories at all, which was amplified by being in a pitch black room.

Smoky car
One day when I was 27 years old, I purchased my first car. It was a black Impala in 2005. I had only had my license for a month, so I was an inexperienced driver. Many people would come out of their houses when I parked, worried that I would hit their cars with my brand new vehicle.
