I’ve always felt something strange around me. Not every day, not all the time — but often enough to know it’s real. Something weird. Something terrible. Something I can’t even describe… only feel.

It started a few weeks ago. I was sitting in the living room with my family. Everything was normal — the TV was on, someone was laughing, the lights were warm and low.

Then I felt it.

Something moved just outside the room. I didn’t see it — not clearly — but I sensed it, like the air shifted, like something invisible had passed by. A cold sweep, like a breath of wind with no window open.

I looked toward the hallway.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKvH3eiPO6
Nothing.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95U1bTdiey
But deep inside, I knew… something had walked past.

Since then, the feeling grew stronger. Especially at night. Whenever I went to the washroom, I felt like it was watching me. I’d catch myself turning around, feeling the weight of invisible eyes on me. Sometimes the mirror felt... wrong, like there was a second version of me that blinked a moment too late.

Then came the voices — faint, distant, almost like echoes behind walls.

That’s when I decided: I needed to find out what it was.

One night, after everyone had gone to bed, I stayed up. The house was quiet, too quiet. The kind of silence that hums in your ears. It was nearly 2:30 a.m. when I left my room. I walked slowly through the hallway, every step creaking just a little louder than I wanted.

As I approached the washroom, I noticed the door was slightly open — even though I was sure I had closed it earlier. The light inside flickered faintly.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpyKW4d0bB
I stepped in.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx58yrzT2x
The air was ice cold. My skin prickled instantly. The mirror was fogged up even though there was no steam. I stood still. Listening.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1IJo8OMM5
Then, from the hallway behind me, I heard it.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJbfxMQPFR
A creaking floorboard.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4aJDXLQK
I held my breath.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpK5fkhIEO
Something was there. I couldn’t see it, but I knew. I could feel it right behind me. Breathing — not heavily, but softly, too softly.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4q0XKlDkr
I turned toward the door.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv58YlzcNW
Nothing.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBifQmawyr
But the door began to close on its own.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlO5QCl4DG
I whispered, “Hello?”
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINVjvZWCKN
No answer.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68oY5VOza
I looked back at the mirror.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFddUjb9x5
That’s when I saw it.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGCmIqSTA7
A shape. Behind me.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4NTR6Et7C
It wasn’t solid. It was like smoke, shaped like a person — tall, hollow, faceless. But it stood there, right behind me in the mirror… even though there was nothing when I turned around.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlWFFOJ6hn
My body froze. I couldn’t scream. Couldn’t speak.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOBmkQbl0V
Then came the whisper.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU3xmHIFKt
"You shouldn’t have come here."
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15XAiXeb2n
And just like that, the light went out.
