My mom and I recently went on a trip to Europe. We stayed in a tiny house in Vienna for the first week, so small that it only had one bed and a pull-out couch.
I stayed on the pull-out.
It opened up to the rest of the room, but wasn’t fully pushed against the wall on the other side. It had about a foot of space between the bed and the wall. It wasn’t the worst bed I’ve ever slept on.
However…
I began to feel uneasy with every night that passed. Like something was…
Watching me.
On the third night of this happening, I was lying awake, when I got a sudden, clear image in my mind of a small girl with black hair, peering over the edge of the bed.
I couldn’t turn around. I was frozen, sick to my stomach, unable to even think. I eventually fell asleep, but the image didn’t go away.
The next night I slept with the lights on.
The next day we packed up to leave to Prague, and one of the last things I did was put the bed back into the couch.
And there, on the hardwood floor next to the bed, leading underneath the carpet…
Was a fresh pair of claw marks carved into the floor.
