Don't Look Now / Non Guardare Ora for #spookysaturday episode 4

It is completely normal. It happens to everyone, all over the world. It's a well documented phenomenon. You know this, but it's happening more often now and it's getting a lot closer. The shadows out of the corner of your eye. They're usually just a haze, maybe a rough outline but they've become more defined, more obvious. They have, well it has, become more real. You've tried using mirrors, keeping the lights on, turning your head quickly - nothing has worked. You can't prove it. Friends and family tell you it's normal, because it is, 99.9% of the time.
This, this is different though. You even feel it now, don't you? You know it's there. It's always there. It's right behind you, just off to the side. The hairs on the back of your neck are standing up because it's watching you. No, it's staring at you. The monster, this shadow from the corner of your eye. Don't turn around. You're safe if you don't show it you know it's there. At least safe for now...

(This is just a story and seeing shadows is pretty normal but if you do think that you are seeing them quite frequently or it is beginning to bother you, please see a doctor/medical professional! ♥️)
This is also not a generated picture! It's my left eye! I just went heavy with the editing! 😂

The Long Weekend / Il Fine Settimana Lungo #spookysaturday episode 3

You don't remember entering the raffle but the kind old woman, Gwendolyn, on the phone assured you you had. How else would she have your details? You had been hesitant at first but she explained everything to you - the history of the island and its castle - all off-grid except for one ancient landline in the kitchen. How it was used by her family as private hunting grounds, the transportation there by ferry and bringing supplies for the weekend, - by the end it was like talking to an old friend and you just couldn't say no.
The crossing there was interesting. Was it seasickness or was the uneasy feeling coming from the ferryman? He wouldn't look you in the eye and spent all his time muttering under his breath, ignoring you. Was he praying? "Bring another one"? Huh?
At least the castle was comfortable. Exploring the island, finally having some peace and quiet after all these hard months was much needed.
Sunday evening, the landline rings.
"I'm sorry dear but the ferry isn't coming for a while"
You inquire if that means a few hours or tomorrow.
"... I'm sorry dear but the ferry isn't coming."
You are confused.
"We still use it as hunting grounds, you know."
The line goes dead.

From your window you see the street lamp across the road is flickering. Bit weird. You've never seen it do that before. Wait... You see a figure. Is that a person? No. It's just the flickering. No, hold on, it is a person. They'll catch their death out there! It's so cold. Wait, those "Missing" posters around the neighbourhood for that kid - What if it's him? You have to go out and check. God, it's been days, he might be hurt! You walk briskly towards the street lamp. The air is freezing. You get closer "Hey! Are you okay?" "Hello! Do you need any help?". The figure turns towards you. Your blood runs colder than the air around you. It stares. It's not the missing kid. It's the reason he is missing. Oh God. How fast can you run? How fast can it run?

OK, this happened to us, we promise. Driving through the suburbs one night, we saw a young woman in a white dress on the side of the road. We pulled over and asked if she needed a ride, which she accepted. After a short drive, she asked to be dropped off just past the gates of a cemetery. By the time the car stopped, she was gone.

Atlas Obscura · The Vanishing Hitchhiker Legend Is an Ancient Tale That Keeps EvolvingVon Mark Hay

After the Great Darkness of 1999, air travel underwent a significant transformation. The economic and infrastructural collapse made it unsustainable for airlines to operate jets, and there were mysterious disappearances of those still in the air. Consequently, Zeppelins became the primary mode of air travel. Amidst this shift, legends arose about a Black Zeppelin, a supposed harbinger of disaster. Sightings of this ominous airship are said to predict doom, with pilots reporting engine failures, unexpected mutinies, and other bizarre incidents leading to zeppelin crashes. Despite these tales, many dismiss the Black Zeppelin as a myth, a product of pilot superstition.

The chapel of a mysterious faith was uncovered in a recently discovered region of Canada. Although details are scant, the religion centers on transcending death through a form of metamorphosis. Intriguingly, the site contained human-sized funerary eggs and cocoons, cracked open as if something had emerged from them. Despite extensive inquiries and anthropological studies, little is understood about this religion.

The Grey Clown is believed to be an embodiment or avatar of the Unbegotten of Despair. Many groups have embraced his image as a symbol of life after Darkness, representing an existence empty of joy and happiness. He is often portrayed as a clown in muted attire, clutching a bundle of grey balloons. While there are whispers of individuals who drain others' emotions, leaving them desolate and cold, being followers or devotees of this somber deity, no evidence has confirmed these reports.

You walk into a room. The door shuts, and you hear a 'click'. You try the door, find it locked, and then turn to find 20 guys in the room with you.

"Are we locked in here?" you ask.

"Well, actually, that implies no one will unlock the door," one says.

"It's not locked if you can kick it open," says another.

"Define 'locked'?" asks another guy.

That's when it hits you.

You're locked in a room with twenty reply guys.😱 😨 😱

The Necroloupe is a legendary tree believed to grow near graves and cemeteries. Often referred to as the "Grief Tree," it's thought that its roots draw sustenance from nearby corpses, and its fruit is said to hold the hidden wisdom of the deceased. Esoteries such as "the Necroloupe (named after the tree)," hold this tree in high regard, seeing it as a symbol of knowledge transcending death. Some claim to have tasted its fruit, absorbing insights from the world beyond.

Kara wanted to laugh, but Marci had her don't fuck with me face on, so she didn't dare. "What do you mean you don't like hiking? On your dating profile, you said you enjoyed nature, walks on the beach, and I specifically recall you mentioned hiking." "So, I lied."

From the story "Witch Tit Mountain" included in the thriller anthology "I'm Not Scared...You Are"
