\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the summer of 2013, I found myself driving home alone on highway 902 from a party. It was almost midnight, and needless to say it was pitch black. As was usual at night, I was on edge. I had the radio off, and could hear nothing but the muffle roar of tires on pavement and the dull hum of the engine. I stole a glance into the middle rear view mirror, and saw nothing but darkness through the back window. <\/p>
I know that I looked backward and saw nothing. I\u2019m sure of it. Just the seemingly endless blackness of the night. I remember it so clearly because not 10 seconds later a car passed me to the left. Headlights on. I had one of those sudden adrenaline rushes like when you think you see a person outside your bedroom window when it\u2019s just a tree, or when you start awake at night with the feeling of falling. Ten seconds earlier, nothing had been behind me. Suddenly, a car. I drove the rest of the way home shivering and knowing something was off. <\/p>
The next morning, I found two sets of scratches near the back of my van. One was on the left rear, one was on the right. The car was pretty old. They could have been there for months, but that was the first time that I distinctly remembered seeing them. <\/p>
In hindsight, there are two possibilities for what happened that night. Possibility one. By some glitch in reality, or something paranormal, this other car had somehow appeared behind me within 10 seconds of me checking my mirror. Like some weird ghost crap or something. However, the second option is what makes my blood run cold whenever I consider it. <\/p>
It didn\u2019t even occur to me until months after the fact, but it makes me dread driving alone at night even more. Possibility two. The car was normal. It had approached me from the rear and passed me to my left. However, something large, and wide, and as black as the night had been clinging to the rear of my car, obscuring my view through the window and leaving deep scratches on the sides. <\/p>
And I had inadvertently driven it home with me. (Source<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt all started on the 14th night of march, the night of my parents\u2019 20th wedding anniversary.<\/p>
It was a wonderful, sunny day, if memory serves. Surprisingly warm for before the beginning of spring. The beautiful weather was perfect for the atmosphere of the day\u2014being married for twenty years is obviously a momentous occasion, so my parents had booked a table at our favorite Italian restaurant. <\/p>
Of course, this was a formal occasion, so I had my best suit on. It was 5:33, and I was just straightening my tie when my phone went off\u2014I\u2019d received a message. That\u2019s strange, I thought, that never happens. I checked the message: It was from my mum. It was quite a jumble of numbers and letters, but through the vocabulary stew I could make out the legible phrase: \u201cPlease help me.\u201d It should go without saying that this worried me greatly, so I immediately replied, \u201cAre you okay?\u201d Just as instantly, I got another text which read, \u201cOops. Pocket text!\u201d I signed with all the relief I had and continued to prepare myself. <\/p>
A few minutes later, I received yet another message, this time from my dad. I checked the text, and once again it was a massive mixture of letters and numbers, with the phrase, \u201cPlease help me\u201d concealed within. Creepy though this was, my dad was always a joker, so I presumed he was just joking around, until I was sent another text saying, \u201cOops. Pocket text!\u201d Now this sparked panic. Pure, unmistakeable panic. Exactly half a minute passed when I received the exact same message from my sister. This could not be coincidental. It just couldn\u2019t. <\/p>
In a state of sheer anxiety, I started to run to the restaurant. I made it about a quarter of the way before I was stopped by a police officer. \u201cMain road\u2019s closed,\u201d he said, \u201cHuge car crash.\u201d This was the exact moment I realized just what had happened. I demanded to see the wreckage, a request I\u2019m surprised was allowed. When I got there, it wasn\u2019t the remnants of the car that caught my eye, not the flames billowing from the destroyed vehicle. No, I was horrified to see the lifeless corpses of my mother, father, and sister. I asked for the estimated time of their deaths\u2014all three of them were killed instantly by the collision at 5:32.

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis actually happened to me a few years back at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. <\/p>
My sophomore year, I roomed with a girl named Kara. She was a jazz vocalist, but her main interest was opera. We had a small room on the sixth floor of a dormitory called Juniper Hall. The walls were thin, and her last night singing and voice practices would keep me up late. After a month or so of lost sleep, I convinced her to move her last night practices to the music studios in the Merriam theater building a block away. <\/p>
Around 8:00 one evening, Kara announced that she would be practicing late for an upcoming recital and probably wouldn\u2019t be home until around midnight. Great, I thought, that means I can go to bed early (I was beat \u2026 I had a horrible day in acting studio, and was ready to pass out as soon as I had dinner). She said goodnight and left, coffee and sheet music in hand. <\/p>
I made some grilled cheese and soup, gobbled it down, and immediately began to prepare for bed. By the time I got out of the shower, my eyelids were so heavy I could hardly brush my teeth. I pulled on my PJ\u2019s and crawled into the top bunk of our bunk bed. I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow. <\/p>
I should take a second to describe the layout of our apartment. When entering the apartment, the bedroom was through a door immediately to the left. Our bathroom was inside the bedroom, just past the bunk beds. (UArts is nice in the sense that you don\u2019t have to share bathrooms).<\/p>
Anyway, I woke up to the sound of the apartment door closing. I opened my eyes and groggily check my phone: midnight on the dot. I rolled back over and closed my eyes. I heard Kara enter the room and stop in front of the bunk bed. Checking to see if I\u2019m actually asleep, i thought. She flopped down on the bed below me, which was strange, as she was a stickler for brushing her teeth and washing up before bed. Then again, exams were just around the corner, and we were alle exhausted. The mattress below me creaked, and then was silent. I couldn\u2019t even hear her breathing. <\/p>
I started to drift off again. I was just on the edge of deep sleep when I was startled awake again by a noise. <\/p>
A key in the lock. The door opening. <\/p>
And Kara entering our apartment, humming an opera tune. <\/p>
The mattress below me creaked. (Source<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGrowing up poor in the Deep South meant sharing a lot with my little brother, Ollie. Most often, we'd pass toys, clothes, and skin conditions between us. Up until he was six, we even shared a bed. Neither of us was happy about that.<\/p>
It was my 10th birthday when that changed. I got one present that year, and it was a bed of my own. Ollie was jealous right away, and I could understand why. He had to keep that half-broken down frame with the worn out mattress. The one I'd gotten wasn't much better, but not being broken and worn was enough.<\/p>
Sleeping apart was a great feeling. It was freedom. No longer would I have to suffer the sudden and inexplicable kicks to the stomach. No longer would I wake up with Ollie's foot pressed into my neck like he'd stepped on Dracula the night before.<\/p>
At least, that's what I'd thought.<\/p>
Right away, right after I got the new bed, the shriek started.<\/p>
At first I thought Ollie woke up in the middle of the night and screamed because he'd gotten scared. Then, the sound echoed through the tiny room again and I knew it wasn't a normal cry.<\/p>
The room was always black as pitch after sunset. The one window we had was pressed against a long leaf pine and even the biggest, brightest moon cast no light inside.<\/p>
The shriek just about drove me crazy. Every night, probably at the same exact time, these sharp yelps would knock me right out of my dreams. It wasn't my Mom or Dad yelling, either. I knew what that sounded like, believe me! Most worrying of all was the fact I could never tell where it was coming from. It seemed completely random.<\/p>
One night it'd come from somewhere near the closet. The next, it'd shoot out from a corner of the ceiling.<\/p>
Any hope I'd had of having my own space would get dashed every time as Ollie would silently slip into the bed with me, shaking like crazy. He'd clasp onto me and wouldn't let go until it was almost daybreak. Most times I'd take his hand and tell him everything was going to be okay, that it'd be over by morning ... but I was never really sure.<\/p>
Over time, the shriek started changing. At first it was only by small degrees, but eventually it took on the primal hooting sound of a primate calling out its fierce warning. I had to clasp pillows to my ears just to keep from going deaf.<\/p>
Mom and Dad never believed me or Ollie, basically because the thing ... whatever it was ... refused to make a peep when they were in the room. Apparently they couldn't even hear it through the walls even though it was damned sure loud enough!<\/p>
The shriek just got worse and worse until I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. Me and Ollie were doing really bad in school, and we just had no energy at all. I could sleep more deeply with my head propped up and eyes open in the middle of class than in my own room at night.<\/p>
Then, thankfully, we moved out of the house nearly a year later. I had contemplated all sorts of things, even a child's clumsy concept of suicide, to get away from the horrific nightly noise.<\/p>
There was no problem in the next house. It was a nice white cookie-cutter home on a dead-end street, and I welcomed the normalcy. What's more, when we moved in there was a bunk bed waiting for me and Ollie. No more broken bed, no more second bed I ended up having to share anyway.<\/p>
The only problem was deciding who'd get the top bunk.<\/p>
I told Ollie I deserved it. After all, I had gotten a new bed way back, and he ruined it by climbing in every night.<\/p>
\"What?\" He shook his head, \"I never did that.\" <\/p>
I had always wondered why the noise stopped the second I was sharing my bed. Now I had the answer. (Source<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I looked towards the small house. Tommy\u2019s house, I thought.<\/p>
A hand slipped through the drapes of the window and waved the bus driver to move on.<\/p>
\u2018He\u2019s sick\u2019, I thought, paying no large amount of attention to the situation.<\/p>
The day flew by.<\/p>
I watched the local news channel after school, and what I heard paralyzed me.<\/p>
Tommy\u2019s entire family was murdered that day by an unknown suspect.<\/p>
After hearing this news, I moved back up to my room and quietly fell asleep.<\/p>
The next day, I sat on the bus.<\/p>
We drove past Tommy\u2019s house and the bus driver, unaware of Tommy\u2019s families fate, stopped at his home.<\/p>
As I was about to get up and explain to her what had happened, something caught my eye.<\/p>
A pale hand slipped through the drapes of the window and waved the bus driver to move on.<\/p>
I sat on the bus, terrified. (Source<\/a>)<\/p>

It did not surprise the man when he discovered rainwater dripping from his dining room ceiling. Shrugging it off, he placed a tall pot beneath the leak and expected it to stop on its own. However, it continued to rain, and before he knew it, the pot would threaten to overflow. He had to dump the water out first thing in the morning and straight after he returned home from work.<\/p>
Eventually, he began to notice water damage at the source of the leak. The white ceiling had discolored, turning a dull shade of brown. He checked the weather and realized that it would continue to rain sporadically over the next 10 days. The man was worried about the ceiling mildewing and becoming an expensive repair, so he called a local handyman.<\/p>
Unfortunately, the man could not sign to have the repairs done\u2013only his landlord could. It was a frustrating policy. The man called his landlord but could not reach him. He left him a few voicemails, detailing how the damage was becoming progressively worse. The man was clueless as to why his landlord would not return his calls; they usually kept in touch, speaking at least twice a month. Finally, he reasoned that he would not be held accountable for any damages sustained.<\/p>
One night, the man was startled awake by a massive thump. He quickly turned on his bedside lamp, and just vaguely, he could see an overturned table and a large shape laying across it. He sprinted out of his apartment and called the police, gagging at the smell.<\/p>
The man sat in the police station with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders and a coffee mug resting in his hands. He did know one thing. There had been a dead body in his ceiling, and the water had saturated it so badly that it caved under the weight. So far, the body was unidentifiable due to the rainwater and was being autopsied. While the man waited, he called his landlord and finally reached him, panicking as he explained the situation. His landlord was just as alarmed, and the man pleaded for him to come to the station while he made his statement. The man paused as a detective crossed over to him, and he lowered his phone, wondering if the body had been identified. His blood ran immediately cold, and he shook his head with terror. The body belonged to Richard Thompson, his landlord, and he had died over a year ago. That\u2019s not what disturbed him the most. If his landlord was dead, then who was pretending to be him?

Her family lived in a small house near the harbor, and one of her earliest memories was of a particularly hot summer when, seeking respite from the heat, she and her sister discovered a seldom-used section of boardwalk near an abandoned warehouse. Every night for several weeks, the two girls would make their way down to the docks and sit together on the edge of the pier as the sun went down. My grandmother vividly, and for a time fondly, recalled the feel of the seaweed between her toes as she and her sister dangled their feet into the murky water.<\/p>
It wasn\u2019t until years later that she returned to the pier and found that the warehouse had been demolished. Curious, she made an inquiry with the Department of Planning and Development. Apparently, the warehouse had been owned for a time by the Mob, who was using it as a base of operations for a local prostitution racket. It had only been uncovered when an associate began \u2018disposing\u2019 of rival hookers by fitting them with concrete shoes and dumping them into the harbor. Investigating officers had recovered nearly two dozen bodies from the waters of a secluded pier nearby.<\/p>
How had the bodies been discovered? A passing fisherman spotted some of the victims\u2019 hair floating near the surface of the water, like seaweed. (Source<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the late \u201940s of the last century, after a decade of private research involving experiments with binaural beat brainwave frequencies, extrasensory cognition, and rare extracts of a South American vine, Dr. Tom\u00e1s Roessner perfected a technique whereby one could actually intrude into the psyche and \u201csee\u201d another\u2019s thoughts. Despite having exhaustively documented his rigorous work, he could find no institution that would even offer to review it. Forced to sell his invention, he found by word of mouth among those through whom he procured narcotics a prospective buyer, the b\u00eate noire of an old New York family, Mr. John M. Dunn, a voyeuristic connoisseur of the supernatural and the obscene, who had squandered his idle youth in the great libraries of Paris, those catacombs of departed authors, rummaging among their hordes of dusty and obsolete works; a literary ghoul who disturbed with profane fingers the charnel-houses of decayed philosophies. He readily agreed to the Dr.\u2019s asking price without haggling, delighted at the prospect of exploring such a bizarre novelty.<\/p>
Once adept at the operation of the apparatus, Dunn paid Dr. Roessner off and under an assumed name rented a shabby house within view of Sing Sing prison. In the timeless night, while the convicts fitfully slept, with the aid of a set of stolen blueprints and his new mind reading device, he raided their memories cell by cell at liberty to savor the forbidden thrill of thefts, molestations, moonlit homicides, in secret, without remorse or consequence.<\/p>
Within a month, the prisoners, telling each other about the nightmares from which they had all begun abruptly to awaken, discovered they shared striking similarities: first, processions of alligators and tortoises filed through a swamp crowded with faceless people and shrieking orchids; next, a shadow man, at whom they looked directly but could never quite see, would watch them in utter stillness from an empty house while invisible hands probed behind their eyes as they had to stand naked, legs locked in place, unable to run away. Their compared descriptions of the house were identical, including its location just outside the walls. By mutual agreement, it was planned that the first of them to receive parole or be released would search this house out to find if it really existed, and investigate the source of their troubling dreams.<\/p>
A few days after being freed, their chosen spy was able to inform them with a smuggled message in code that not only was the house really, but he had broken into it at night and found a gaunt, mustached man in a silk smoking jacket seated bolt upright, head thrust back, both eyes gaping, mouth stuck open in a stiffened gasp, clenched hands gripping the arms of his chair, in front of a \u201cscientific machine.\u201d A handwritten journal on the desk told the whole story of his adventures prying unconstrained through their psyches, plundering the haunted memories of criminal after the criminal, seeking ever more shameful and audacious experiences until finally, he wrote, on July 7th, of his overwhelming desire to witness telepathically the next execution in the prison\u2019s notorious electric chair.
