《Short Ghost Stories》8) Japanese Haunted House
Advertisement
Location : Japan
Sender : Mr Adam
I am a Singaporean living in Japan. I'm working at one of the schools there as an English teacher. Problems were such that i could not find a house because the houses in Japan are very expensive. One day i saw an advertisement about this house and what caught my attention was its price. It is so cheap!
Being in a desperate situation, i didn't think much about it and quickly rent this unit. The first few days in the house, i got to admit it gave me goosebumps but nothing unusual happened. Goosebumps went on for about two weeks but again i didn't think much about it either and just brush it off.
Then one night, i was already in bed and getting ready to sleep when suddenly i heard noises in the hallway. It sounded like my television being played and the channels kept on changing as if someone was browsing through it.
I got out of my room and went to the hallway and sure enough, the television was playing on its own and the channels kept on changing again and again. But still at this point nothing occurs to my mind. So i just switch it off and went back to my room.
Just when i was about to sleep, i heard the same noises again. I start to get very fed up and when i peek through my door and see what's going on, i saw a woman sitting on my sofa playing with her hair! Her hair were so long that it stretched all the way to my room! Fear and panic surrounded me. I closed back my room door and then quickly hid below my comforters and started reading prayers. I can still hear the noises outside and all i could think of at that point of time was God. So all i did was keep on reading all the prayers that i know till i fall asleep.

Luckily the thing didn't attack me or anything. What freaked me out was that her hair actually stretched all the way to my room door! I wasn't satisfied with what happened and so i started asking around. One day, i bumped into this couple who were also my neighbors who live on the same block as me. So we started chatting and slowly i stared telling them what happened and started asking them about the history of my house.
When i told them my unit number, they both suddenly turned very quiet and just stared at me. I find this a bit odd. The wife then grabbed her husband, trying to drag him away from me and i think she didn't want her husband to tell me anything about it. But because i kept on asking them to help me out and i sound very desperate, the guy finally told me one story.
He told me that the house was vacant for sometime because there used to be a woman who lived there and she actually hanged herself to death! After the incident, strange things started happening to the new tenants or owners of that house and that's why till now no one wanted to live there.
I regret asking them about it because this add on to my fear. I started searching for a new house right away and believe it or not, i stayed in that house for 4 months before finally getting a new house. Thank God it didn't attack me or anything but i lived in that house in a state of fear for 4 months..
Thank you.

Villain: The Play of Destiny
Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all. But is it all just a dream? With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by the destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him? Author's Note: Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are the ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it! Warnings: > Dark Elements > Sexual Content> Traumatising Content> Gore> Manipulative MC> Parallel World (Almost a new World)> Fantasy Elements (Full-fledged Fantasy later)> System> Slavery > Contains themes that are viewed as Taboo in our world, but not in the world this story is based in. Update Schedule: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on WebNovel, ScribbleHub, MSB, and RR. More frequent releases on Patreon with 25 or more chapters each month.
