The Elevator That Stops at a Nonexistent Floor
The Building With a Strange Reputation When I accepted a night-shift security job at the Ashcroft Tower, I thought the stories were nothing more than office gossip. The building was one of the oldest skyscrapers in the city, a forty-story structure that had survived decades of renovations and ownership changes. Most employees left before sunset, leaving only a handful of cleaners, maintenance workers, and security staff inside after dark. During my first week, several coworkers warned me about the elevators. According to them, one of the lifts occasionally stopped at a floor that didn't exist. I laughed it off as another urban legend created to entertain bored night workers.

My Dead Grandfather Keeps Sending Me Letters
The First Letter Three months after my grandfather's funeral, the first letter arrived. The envelope carried his familiar handwriting, the same careful script I had seen on birthday cards and holiday notes. At first, I assumed someone in the family was playing a cruel joke. Then I noticed details nobody else could know. The letter mentioned a conversation we had shared alone beside a lake ten years earlier. It ended with a sentence: "Check the attic before next Tuesday. Trust me, please, Samuel."

In the Dreaming
I stood atop an orange boulder, looking over the unfamiliar terrain. The purple sunset was tinting the entire scene before me. I’d entered an alien dreamscape, following Master Jihan’s instructions. For a moment, I wondered if I was the first student to succeed in starting the quest, until I considered the time I was wasting by not completing the trials the Master had set for us.

The Village That Disappears Every Full Moon
A Story Nobody Believed I first heard about Hollow Creek from an elderly shopkeeper in a remote mountain town. I had stopped there while researching local legends for a travel blog that occasionally covered strange and unexplained places. When I asked if there were any interesting locations nearby, the old man hesitated before mentioning a village hidden deep within the forest. According to him, the village had existed for over two hundred years, yet very few outsiders had ever visited it. The reason, he explained, was simple and unbelievable: every time a full moon appeared in the sky, the entire village disappeared.

I Inherited a House That Doesn't Exist on Any Map
An Unexpected Inheritance When my grandfather passed away, I expected to inherit little more than a few family photographs and some old furniture. Instead, I received a letter from a law firm informing me that he had left me a property hidden deep in the mountains. The news surprised everyone in the family. None of us had ever heard him mention owning another house. According to the documents, the property had belonged to him for more than forty years. Curious and slightly confused, I accepted the inheritance and decided to visit the place myself.

Unwelcome To Earth
Where they came from was a total mystery. She didn’t know their names. She didn’t know if they were male or female, or if they were something in-between. Their luminous bodies shifted in color as they shimmered under the light of the moon. All she knew was that they were different. They were other-worldly, and she was completely captivated.
