Tales from the other side

Dreaming - I stumbled upon something weird, I wrote in my diary. I have written every memory I have of the dreams I had during the summer vacation in order to have lucid dreams. But in the middle of every flying, falling or holding hands dreams there is a pretty odd one. I'm walking in the streets with my friend, we are casually talking when I stop her to ask if she saw the cat, she doesn't answer, she's gone. I'm continuing to walk and talk all alone in the streets until I'm joined by someone else. I don't know them, I can't see their face. I keep on talking about trivial things with the new one, who hasn't said a word yet. My voice is echoing in the empty street. We keep on walking until we arrive in front of a hole for the sewers. I'm about to jump over it when suddenly I feel my leg being grabbed. I wake up, but I'm still being pulled by my leg. I was super confused has to why I was halfway off the bed, why my leg hurt and what the heck wa...

Stranger -  There's one time when I was about 9 that I've recently recalled. It wasn't anything "supernatural," but that's what made the experience so horrifying. Consider it a Let's not meet of sorts. When my family moved, and I started my new school, I was told I had to take the bus for the first time ever. And I'd be taking it alone- as my sister went to a different school, a middle school while I was in 4th grade. Now, considering I've been walking to and from school, with my siblings, I was justifiably nervous. It took some time for me to get used to it, but about a month or two into living here, (and I'm guessing here, it was quite a long time ago) my mom sometimes liked walking my sister and I home from our respective bus stops. They weren't that far, so we'd walk home together. One day, my mom walked home with us. We had just begun the walk home from my bus stop (which was only about a block and a half away,) when my mot...

Infant - It was a story my grandma told me when I was very young. She told me about my great-great-grandfather on my mum's side going back to his farm from the nearest village, taking medical herbs with him for his now then sick wife. The road was foggy, as usual in the countryside. While on his horse, he noticed a baby wrapped up in a white blanket in the middle of the road. When he picked the baby, it had very skinny limbs with an inflated belly, and it was still alive. Since he was very close to his farm, he picked it up and see if he could save its life. On his way to the farm, he noticed that the baby was getting heavier and heavier to carry as he got closer. He topped his horse and looked at the baby again, and it had the face of a grown child, then the thing, opened his eyelids, his eyes were missing and then it talked to him with a raspy voice. In shock, he dropped it, and it started unwrapping itself, his horse started running and when looking back, the thing now had...
