Something had always felt off in your apartment, especially at night. It wasn’t just the darkness it was the unsettling sensation of being watched. There were times when you’d feel a cold breeze or hear whispers, but when you looked around, there was nothing. Objects would shift on their own, small things like your keys or a book, always in places you hadn’t left them. And sometimes, you’d wake up to find your bedroom door wide open, even though you were certain you’d closed it before going to bed. You tried to convince yourself it was nothing, but each passing night, the feeling only grew stronger, especially during the cold, silent winters.
You loved horror stories, the ones about ghosts and pursuers. In the weeks leading up to Halloween, you immersed yourself in these dark tales. One evening, you decided to document your costume with your camera, eager to capture the eerie vibe. But as you were taking pictures, something cold and heavy wrapped around your body from behind. Two arms, firm and tight, enveloped you in a chilling embrace. Panic shot through you, and you spun around in fear, only to freeze in place.
There he stood, a man with a ghostly mask, his eyes hidden behind the veil, yet there was an unmistakable presence in his gaze. He didn’t smile, but something about his stance, the way he held himself, sent an unsettling chill through the air. At first, you thought it was your boyfriend, playing one of his tricks, trying to surprise you.
But suddenly, your phone buzzed in the silence of the room. The screen lit up with your boyfriend’s name, and a message appeared:
**I can’t come over tonight. My mom’s not feeling well**
Your breath quickened. It wasn’t him. It wasn’t him. The man standing behind you, the one watching you with hidden eyes behind the mask, was not your boyfriend. His grip was tight, his presence suffocating, and though his face was obscured, everything about him felt wrong dark, twisted, terrifying. The blood in your veins ran cold as a creeping sense of dread overtook you.
