  I can’t stand it anymore, I’m slowly going crazy. My mind has fallen to a river full of negative thoughts.  I see them all day. They are shadows in my head with bright eyes full of calming energy. At first, they appeared just as nightmares but then as hallucinations. With more frequency, they showed up in front of my eyes. They whisper to my ear. “If I leave my room, I’ll die” The shadows don't lie, they have already killed my family. Although they want to make me think it was me who killed them. I can’t stand it anymore, I’m crazier than ever before. They promised that if I take their hand, all of this would stop. Maybe I should give up and embrace death.   Elizabeth Shapovalova 2º Bachillerato X

  She was standing right in front of me. I was shaking like a leaf. I could feel how my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. A cold breeze blew through the whole room. We were both staring at each other but none of us articulated a word. She was pale like the snow as if she had seen something horrible. Then, she started crying but with no sound at all. All I could see was her face full of tears. She slowly showed her hands full of blood, fresh blood. As soon as I realized what her hands were covered with, I ran to her. She stopped me with both hands, they were cold. Instantly, she touched my face, went through my cheeks and finished on my neck. Then, she said: "I killed mum".

  I live in a building built around the 90's,so it’s quite old. 6-7 years ago I moved to my current home and I don’t just live with my family.One Christmas I discovered I have a faceless and genderless companion.I call it Dakota or Dohyung.Dakota is my friend and it accompanies me when I cry, when I’m listening to music and it even throws things from the table or moves the curtain in my room to let me know it’s with me.It is real,my sister has felt it and I have seen it several times.Usually I’m a scaredy cat but not with Dakota.This suprised me so much that my parents don’t believe me, but my grandmothers do.I told them this and one of them shared a similar event here and when she lived in Colombia.Due to that they advised me to have one rosary near my bed and one near the place it appears.I hven’t seen it since then.   Natalia Zamudio Camacho 2ºBACH W      

  My mom always told me to lock my back door before leaving the house, I always thought she was a paranoic, even after finding it open knowing I was sure of having locked it before leaving. Perhaps I should have also paid attention to my missing clothes and food, I just thought I was tired and overthinking, maybe I was too careless, maybe I should’ve done something. But now is too late, he’s here, he’s playing hide and seek and I know I’ve already lost. I should’ve locked mi back door   Dani Sanabria 2º Bachillerato W

  Waking up alone, just like yesterday, just like the day before. It’s been 2 months since my parents sent me (or that’s what I’ve been told) to this scary orphanage. Maybe 3, I’ve lost count. At first, when those grim women took me against my will in that gory van it didn’t bother me. I was walking down the street on Halloween day, so I thought it was just a silly joke my parents had planned. They were there, sitting next to me. But as soon as I saw their pale faces I knew something was happening, something with a terrifying background. I haven’t seen them since then.   Nuria Jiménez Hernández 2BB

  You're about to listen to a real story, not a based on a true story one, a real paranormal experience I lived on my own skin. I can't tell the hour, but it was probably late night, around 02:00-04:00 a.m. I was sleeping, but I had the sudden urge to open my eyes, so I did it. When I opened them I was paralyzed, there was a girl laying on the floor, but grabbing my blanket. She was probably my age, with long black hair, her skin was gray and green, with big black eyes that would never blink. I can swear how real felt the pressure that she made on on my bed, she was strong enough to move me closer to her without even touching me. Yes, at first I was scared to death, but a few moments later I realized that she wasn't trying to hurt me, I felt sadness in her aura, maybe she was as afraid as I was. Nowadays I'm not sure if it was an hallucination or something real. Another theory is that maybe I was her, and I was seeing myself. And I know it wasn't a nightmare, ...
