Bet bet, okay so tw for like gore and animal death ig?? Maybe more byt im unsure. Also this is long
Anywayz, when i was a kid i lived in this neighbourhood where at the end b4 you turned to leave was this one path to which there was a turn at the end. It was built originally to serve as a house for rent so the rich coming to the nearby golf course could stay nearby, but for one reason or another no one moved in and it sat empty for all 5 years i lived there.
Since me, my friends and older sister (ill call dan, dom and m) were all obsessed with paranormal stuff at the time we made jokes abt it being spooky and all that stuff. We would hang out there even tho we were allowed as we were all 7-11 years old, not the best age to be exploring abandoned places but wtvr.
What was funny abt this place is that the turn into the yard for the 2 houses was basically very small and all around fenced off by large trees. Basically the whole place was shadowy and leaves litred the floor no matter the time of year (this was in the baltics fyi).
We (me and m) used to have this cat Jessica, she used to follow us often when we went out in the neighbourhood and would follow us right until we entered the 'boundry' for these houses and just stop. No other neighbourhood cats would even be there either. What was also weird is that no birds made nests in the surrounding trees.
Things started to get weird when in we started coming there and finding random things, as far as we had known no other teens frequented that area unless to sneak into the golfcourse (asked my older brother as it was him and his group who were all the other teens). We would find random toys and then when we left for 30 mins theyd disappear. Once in the winter we found a large shopping cart (no stores within 2km) with all the wheels broken and tangled in stuff. When we returned after 40mins it was like fully gone and no one who couldve gone there but me, dan, dom or m were out of the neighbourhood.
We (me, dom, dan and m) later started finding dead crows burried in the falled leaves. Slowly id feel the vibes of the place change, from a cool hang out spot wed bike to, to 'i feel like someone is watching and i NEED to get out'.
With time wed basically find crows/birds on a near daily. Closer to the closing of summer we had started to sometimes find birds that were tuned inside out with no stitching visible. None of the birds ever looked like they were killed, more like just fell dead.
It was around that time we all got into a bit of occultism/paranormal and of the sort, i being me instead of dipping my toes in a pond of that knowledge like the rest, i swan dived. Learned a lot abt the idea of how more stuff happens around halloween and the 'veil'becoming thinner and all. Told it to dom, dan and m, dan and m being the eldest decided to go to the probably haunted place on halloween.
When we were there, our cat didnt even follow us a bit, we found a crow tuned inside out, no organs visible right on the sesaw where we usually sat, burried under the golden leaves. The whole time my skin was crawling with bugs and shivers spread along my skin, i could feel eyes on me the whole time. We came a bit late, around 4-5 if my memory serves right as our school ended late that day, so it was getting dark quick.
Right as sunset began to fall we saw some shadows in the house closest to the exit. We all paniced ofcourse, as any child would. We ran to our bikes, left on the boundry before the piles of leaves covered to ground.
As we ran my trusty sports bike fell, m's chain nearly fell out of place. We were the only ones that turned around before crossing the border and i know what we saw. She remembers it no more, her brain blocked out all of her childhood due to trauma. But i know, i remember.
I remember clearly as we were trying to get away, on the second floor, in the window overlooking the exit, right in the corner was a figure. It was tall. Covered in some sort of cloack or what i could assume was similar to it. The only thing that peeked outside of it was its face. Im saying it because i dont think it was a man or woman or whatever for a long time.
The skin was removed, nothing covered the pinkish redish flesh and muscles. Maybe due to air exposure or whatever else, the flesh looked a bit dried. No moist fleshyness one would expect was there, it was matt. The teeth were red i think, or maybe black. They were quite a dark color.
What was standing out were the eyes. They lacked eyelids or anything thay could keep them from shriveling, yet they were still a near healthy white. They were large in the skull and focused right on us. I made eye contact with it i think.
We were out before i could focus on the figure. M immedearly spoke of it to us, dan and dom were shoked. I couldnt speak much, it was terrifying and burned into me.
We didnt talk about it much later, what do kids know about normal processing of maybe traumatic memories? It was the first step toward the others stepping a bit away from that sphere of paranormal. M stepped away but our herritage follows her like a curse.
I jumped straight into it. I have more things happen and more often. Perhaps some of it is like a curse or maybe of the sort but i do enjoy it. As horrific as it was to see at 7/8 years old i am glad it made me go deeper on the topics.
We never did go back there. Not even to sneak onto the gold course.
