A Chilling Encounter with a Spirit That Can Only Be Seen in the Dark

Imagine being alone in a dimly lit room when you sense something watching you.

You turn off the light—and there it is.

A shadowy figure, standing motionless.

Heart pounding, you flick the switch back on.

Nothing.

But the moment darkness returns, so does the figure.

Closer this time.

What would you do?

Keep the lights on forever?

The traveler first noticed it in a motel room.

A strange feeling of being watched.

When the lights were on, the room was empty.

But in the dark, a tall, gaunt figure loomed near the bed.

Frozen in fear, they reached for their phone’s flashlight.

The figure vanished instantly.

But the moment darkness returned, so did it.

Desperate, they tested it again.

Light on—nothing.

Light off—the figure was closer.

It didn’t move, but each time the darkness returned, it was nearer.

Breathing heavily, they backed against the wall.

Was it real?

Or a trick of the mind?

But then, in the pitch black, they heard it.

A whisper.

Right next to their ear.

Terrified, they lunged for the lamp, flooding the room with light.

Silence.

The figure was gone.

But they knew it was still there, waiting in the dark.

They never slept that night, keeping every light on.

But eventually, the sun would set again.

And when the darkness returned, so would it.

Watching.

Waiting.

Closer than before.
