Uri looked at the hazy space in front of her, subconsciously remembering the usual corridors of hotels or apartment buildings in horror movies. Although there were lights, the last point could not be seen clearly, the surrounding space therefore also became strangely murky. At times like these, from the darkness will suddenly appear the silhouettes of white shirts or some bloody horror face.

Scarlett: Pov Darkness. Complete. Endless. For a moment, Scarlett felt nothing. No sound. No weight. No breath. Only silence. Then A sharp pulse of light exploded around her. Scarlett gasped.

Squelch-pop. I snapped my head back to the mirror. My reflection was pressed against the glass. Its hands weren't resting on the imaginary sink in its world; they were splayed against the interior surface of the mirror, the fingers white and bloodless from the pressure. Its face was inches from mine, separated only by five millimeters of silvered glass. The most terrifying part wasn't the proximity, but the expression. It wasn't my face anymore.

"Sooo. Trip to the spooky wolf dimension. Cool. Great. Could you, um, step back? You're in my personal space." He stepped back immediately. "Sorry." She instantly regretted saying anything. Before Charlie could figure out how to not feel weird, the lights flickered. Rivener stiffened. The air shifted—cold, metallic, humming like a tuning fork driven straight through the earth. Charlie froze. A shape rippled in the corner of the room—shadow then light then something in between. Not fully formed. Not fully gone. A spectral outline of a wolf's head, silver-eyed, watching her.

The sharp scent of blood lingers in the air, iron-thick, curling in my throat. The horror of everything I’ve seen—the bodies, the monsters, the things I cannot unsee—sits like a lead weight in my stomach. And yet, even through the panic clawing at me, a strange numbness has settled in, wrapping itself around my mind like a fog, dulling the sharp edges of reality. “She’s actually taking this better than Lyla did,” Ivanna continues, her voice attempting to sound light but failing. “She’s not screaming the roof down or collapsing—”

A young couple moved in to a new home in Hawaii. They had a young son, Bobby, whom they would put to bed each night, only to find him the next morning sleeping on the floor in the corner of his room ... ... One day, the father put a wardrobe in that corner, and that night while the couple was watching TV, they turned to see their son walking out of his room as if he was holding someone's hand. Just before he got to the door, he dropped his hand as if the person had let go. He woke up crying. The couple were scared, and they called a Hawaiian priest for help. He told them that their house was built on a "night marching trail" — a path taken by ghosts. The priest said Bobby always slept in a c

It was as if a magician had cast a spell, distorting the very fabric of the space around me, confounding my senses. My mind raced as I searched for an escape route, my palms growing clammy with anxiety. Every turn I took seemed to lead me deeper into the labyrinthine corridors of this house of horrors. The sounds of Sebastian's distant voice echoed through the halls, a constant reminder of the danger that lurked behind me.

If those being at this level attacked humans, the consequence is deadly. The old lady did something unthinkable. She scratched the back of Lim's neck when Lim was standing. Lim's face is contorted into a painful expression before he suddenly collapses on the floor. Since his group is on the upper seats, he is rolling down to the lower seats. Izzat was unable to hide his surprised face. The screaming of his classmate has woken him up from his shocking state. While, the old lady mysteriously vanished into thin air, leaving behind her creepy laughter echoing in the lecture hall. Although, no one heard it except Izzat.

They entered the house one by one through the window. It was pitch black inside. They turned on their flashlights and lighted up the living room which was full of dust and old things. The atmosphere of the house was very spooky, and only their steps broke the silence inside. Luna felt increasingly pressured and she began to feel something unexplained. "I feel like there are a lot of eyes watching us," she said quietly. Max just laughed, "Stop being so dreamy, Luna. Are you pretending to be a Nancy Drew?" Luna snorted in annoyance at Max.

I mumbled and looked around the space, but my heart stopped the next moment, and a scream escaped my mouth. "Shut up," Lyn scolded, covering my mouth. "What are you doing?"
