Phantom Memories

Image
  Rachel looked around the kitchen in confusion. She did not remember why she was there. Meanwhile, watching her from behind was a ghost. “How do I tell her how I feel? I wish she could see me.” Rachel felt a strange presence beside her, although she could see nothing around her. “Why do I feel like I’m being watched?” she thought. “I’ll always be here for you, Rachel,” the ghost thought. Rachel heard those thoughts. “Who’s there?” she asked, grabbing a knife and moving away from the kitchen entrance. “Wait, you can actually hear me?” Rachel felt her heart begin to pound. Was she hearing things? “You’re not having hallucinations, Rachel. It’s me, Andrew.” “Stop it!” Rachel held her head and fell to her knees. The voice was echoing endlessly in her mind. Andrew quickly reached out to her and placed his phantom hand upon her head. “I’m so sorry.” Rachel looked around the kitchen in confusion once again. Unable to remember why she had arrived there, she went back to the living room. H...

A Cold Case

Image
I was a few minutes away from wrapping up work on my first day at the new station when I received a call from a man called Simon Green. There had been a triple homicide; it was a family. My partner Anthony and I arrived at the scene with a few other officers and found the couple and their kid on the floor. Their necks had been snapped. We questioned Simon about the incident. He said that he was a friend of the family, and an electrician by profession. Simon said that they had asked his help to repair some wiring issues the day before, but he had been too busy back then and could arrive at the scene only a little while ago. Seeing the condition the house was in, I was surprised that anyone would want to buy it. According to Simon, the family had been going through some financial trouble, so this was the best they could do for the time being. Inspecting the house, something seemed off. There were no signs of a break-in, but there were signs of a struggle. Had they invited their killer in...

The Cursed Will

Image
  I was working on my latest novel one day when I got a call from the lawyer of my estranged aunt Agnes who had passed away recently. She had called me to come to the reading of my aunt’s will. It was strange. She and I had a falling out years back and had not talked since, so why would she leave behind anything for me? I soon learned that she had left her estate and house for me. I moved into the house a few days later; it was larger than I remembered. That night, I went to bed early because I was too tired, but later that night, I was awakened by noises. The house was so old and bore a haunted look overall; walking through its halls gave me an eerie feeling, as if someone was watching me all the time. It was quite the coincidence since my novel was also about a girl trapped in a haunted mansion. I inspected the house, but found nothing. Strange incidents like that happened every now and then, with me hearing footsteps in the attic, or the piano playing randomly at late hours. I t...

The Witch's Soul

Image
  I was on my daily run when a Labrador suddenly ran up to me and blocked my path. I tried to run around it, but it suddenly spoke to me. “Don’t be afraid, I mean you no harm,” it said, making me almost fall on my back from shock. “What in the… Am I dreaming?” I asked myself before pinching my arm. No, I was awake. “I assure you I’m real.  I’m a man trapped in a dog’s body and I need your help,” it said. “How is that even possible?” “My wife did this to me. I stumbled across her performing witchcraft recently, and when I asked her what was happening, she told me she was a demon who needed people’s souls to survive. She made me promise to keep her secret, but even if I could have kept it to myself, I couldn’t bear to be around her after what I had heard. One day, I tried to skip down without her knowledge, but she found out and cursed me, placing my soul in this dog’s body.” “This is unbelievable… But how can I even help you if you’ve been cursed by a demon?” “I don’t know, but...
