Now we have read this one comes from a Godzilla on reddit
He said he once checked into a hotel a few kilometers from Kiev in Ukraine
It was very late. And he was very tired after booking a room at the desk
He was given a room number key the woman at the desk topped him as he went up the stairs one more thing
She said there is one room here without a number on that floor. It's always locked don't look in there
He nodded sleep late and headed upstairs falling asleep instantly on his bed
He awoke though in the middle of the night to the sound of trickling water
It was coming from the room on the other side of the hallway
He opened the door and saw the room
Opposite was the exact same one that had no number he opened the door and saw the room opposite was the one that had no
Number ignoring the woman's advice he banged on the door. No response. He tried again. No response
He looked in the keyhole and saw nothing, but read just a deep hazy scarlet. The water was still trickling
He went down to the front desk to complain the woman's face dropped
She told him slowly
That there was nobody in that room ever since the murder a woman was killed in there by her husband many years ago her skin
Was pale her hair dark brown and her eyes when she died were a red a deep hazy
Scarlet next to the number nine now we have Morse code. His room comes from Khan frack
He said he once lived in a small building in the middle of his city
He ended up moving out because of a strange man who lived across the hallway the man mostly kept to himself
But around midnight, it was always a strange noise coming from his apartment. It wasn't loud, but it was constant
It was a bumping sound like someone walking around in heels
But muffled as if someone was trying to keep it quiet after a few days
He realized the pattern was always the same like a record playing over and over again
It went on for weeks then months then almost a full year always the same bumps for hours at night
It was only years later living somewhere else, but something clicked he was helping his daughter with homework. She was learning about Morse code
She knocked on the table with her knuckles and a shiver ran down his spine. He recognized it as the pattern
He had heard all those years ago when he asked her what it meant. She laughed. That's the easiest one daddy
She said it's the one to call for help. Good ones number eight. Now we have charlie
This one comes from reddit user horror in pure form
I'm just gonna read this one exactly as they wrote it because it really deserves it
I hate it when my brother Charlie has to go away
My parents constantly tried to explain to me how sick he is that I am lucky for having a brain where all the chemicals flow
properly to their destinations like
Unbound rivers what I complain about how bored I am without a little brother to play with
They tried to make me feel back by pointing out that his Board of likely far surpasses mine
Considering his confined to a dark room in an institution. I always beg for them to give him one last chance
Of course, they did at first Charlie has been back home several times each shorter in duration than the last
Every time without fail it all starts again the neighborhood cats with gout without I showing up in his toy chest my dad's
Razors found dropped on the baby slide in the park across the street mom's vitamins replaced by bits of dishwater tablets
My parents are hesitant. Now using last chances sparingly. They say his disorder makes him charming makes it easy for him to fake normality
I have the trick doctors who care for him into thinking he is ready for
Rehabilitation that I would just have to put up with my boredom if it means staying safe from him
I hate it when Charlie has to go away
It makes me have to pretend to be good until he is back next up number seven. Now. We have counting
This one was submitted to BuzzFeed. A man said his daughter woke him before midnight one night
He and his wife had picked
Up from her friend Sally's birthday party earlier that night brought her home and put her to bed
His wife went into the bedroom to read to her while he firstly watching the game
He awoke to feel his daughter tugging on his shirt sleeve daddy. She said guess how old I'm going to be next month
I don't know honey. He said as he slipped on his glasses how old she smiled and held up four fingers
The parents stayed up all night asking their daughter the same question for hours
But she refused to tell them where she got those four fingers from we've got number six now we have Guardians
This is a story from dark alligator one day a man awoke to a huge
Insect-like creature looming over his bed it twitched and jerked its head staring right down at it
He screamed a run out of the room when he sheepishly came back though. The insect was gone
That didn't make sleeping again easier though, and he stayed up all night. Wondering if it was a dream the next morning
There was a knock at the door
He opened it to see one of the huge insects placing a plate filled with food on the floor
He then backed away from him
He ate the food confused but content perhaps this was the beginning of a bizarre
Relationship as well as cooking the creatures poured baths for him and began to tuck him into bed. He began to worried
They were fattening him up after one greasy breakfast gave him heartburn though. They actually replaced it with fruit
It seemed that they cared about him one night
he awoke to gunshots and screaming he raced downstairs to find a
Decapitated burglar being devoured by the insects. They were protecting him one morning. The creatures wouldn't let him leave his bedroom
He lay down on the bed confused, but trusting them after hours of lying there
He felt a pain through his body
It felt like his stomach was full of razor wire and it was somehow moving the insects shitted
Excitedly among themselves as his pain got worse
It was only when his skin began to bulge that he realized the insects hadn't been protecting him
They had been protecting their young we've gone for the fight. Now. We have the sound of silence
This one comes from reddit user Dover Hawk
She said after a lifetime of being deaf her best friend just received cochlear implants when he woke up from the surgery
They all stood around him. His wife was the first one to say anything
He heard her voice and at once began to cry they all took turns speaking
Letting him hear their voices and names and with each word
They said he became more emotional when they were all finished silence hung in the room
He looked over her and asked her what that sound was it took a moment to understand what he was saying
And when she understood she told him that he was hearing silence. He shook his head. This isn't silence
He said slowly hearing his own voice for the first time
I've been hearing silence all my life and this is different a sound came from just outside the hospital room and he perked up immediately
Isn't that silence? They all exchanged looks of trepidation around the room before she spoke
No, she said slowly that was the sound of someone's screaming moving on till before now
We have mother this one comes from reddit user. Whoever fights monsters
She said that when she and her sister Betsy were kids their family lived for a while in an old farmhouse
They loved exploring the dusty corners and climbing the apple tree in the backyard
Their favorite part was the ghost in the house
They named her mother because she seemed kind and nurturing some mornings
She and Betsy would wake up and find a cup of tea by their beds
They felt the ghosts had left them there worried that they would get thirsty in the night among the houses
Original furnishings was an antique wooden chair
Which they kept against the back wall of the living room
Whenever they were watching TV or playing a game mother would inch the chair forward towards them. Sometimes she managed to move
You're all the way to the very middle of the room
They always felt sad putting him back against the wall as they felt mother
Just wanted to be near to them years later long after they moved out
They found an old newspaper article about the farm houses original occupants
One of them was a widow who murdered her two children by giving them each a cup of poisoned milk before bed
Then she hung herself the article included a photo of the farmhouses living room with the woman's body hanging from a beam
beneath her knocked over was the same old wooden chair placed right in the middle of the room makes them another three now we have
The wallpaper. This one comes from reddit user bats out of hell eight to one
She said that her and her boyfriend once bought an old house
He took control of any new construction that was needed converting a kitchen into the master bedroom
for example
She was on wallpaper removal duty and had her work cut out the preview ona had covered every single wall and ceiling
Removing it was a real chore, but she got into the rhythm of it
Eventually it began to feel satisfying like peeling off a sunburn
She began to play a game seeing what the longest piece you could peel off was before it finally ripped
She noticed that under a corner section of paper in every single room was a person's name and a date
Curiosity got the better of her one night and she decided to google
What are the names andis cover that the person was actually a missing person the name of the dates matched perfectly
She didn't sleep. Well that night the next morning
She made a list of all the names and dates her face got paler with each name that matched with a missing person
They called the police who cornered off the whole area
Joba her two of the officers talking in one of the rooms one said yeah, it's definitely human human
She asked what's human ma'am? They said what you were peeling off. The walls wasn't newspaper
We're going to give this all to the coroner next up number two. Now we have seeing dad
This is a great story from the general G on reddit real and up
It's very creepy and he told it like this every day. I see my father at work
He pretends like he doesn't see me
But I know he does I try to do the same but that doesn't really pan out
Well, either when you're at work, you got to be on top of your game
So I do my best to just get on with what I'm supposed to do and get my job done
I can feel him watching me good. I want him to see how different I am from him. I'm not in your shadow
I'm my own person
I know what you're wondering do others know that he is my old man hard to say really
If they don't I have no plans to correct them if they do. Well there is nothing I can do about it
we are all under the shadow of our parents for the duration of
Most of our lives whether we like it or not in some cases
It just happens to be more obvious than others. Our parents helped us define here
We are it's only a question of whether you follow their example or run as fast as you can in the other direction
for example
if you have a drug abusing parent who happens to murder a newlywed couple
that gets stranded on the side of the road when you are only ten years old that might make one inclined to
Perpetuate a similar kind of violence or it might make you decide to be a prison guard so that you can make sure
They and others just like them can't do it anymore much like I did
Firing number one now, we have giggle
This is another one submitted to Reddit by a woman who said the one night
She rushed out of her house to catch the opening act at her local bars music night after a few drinks
She realized her phone wasn't in her pocket
She checked the table that they were sitting at it wasn't there if you tried the bar the bathrooms no look in the end
She gave up and decided to use her friend's phone to call her own after two short rings someone answered. Hello
She said the other end of the line was silent, then she heard a low raspy giggle before the phone hung up
The person didn't answer again. She eventually decided to just go home when she got to her bedroom there
She found her phone lying on the table by her bed right where she had left it. Whoa. Well was I right?
