Whispers in the Dark
Michael had always believed in his own invincibility. Power, money, and influence made him untouchable—or so he thought. He crushed rivals with a smile, betrayed friends without a second thought, and laughed at anyone foolish enough to oppose him. But the city has a memory, and the night has patience.

Horror Classics: The Mummy's Shroud (1967)
Okay, so the first two mummy films that Hammer had made were pretty good, and I really enjoyed them. Now, there's a saying about how the second film in series is the only good sequel. I don't usually agree with that, but I kind of have to agree this time around.

The Derelict Quantum Observatory
By 2250, humanity had established quantum observatories in deep space to monitor exotic cosmic phenomena beyond the edge of the Milky Way.

The Silver Syringe
To whom it may concern, I loved her yet I murdered her. Or rather, I should say, it was that cursed instrument of Lucifer himself that did so! The same of which you have, no doubt, since found protruding from my purple, bloated corpse. I lament for the one of whom pulled that wretched item from my vein. For you have now lost your soul. Forgive me. This is my confession - a cautionary tale in a post-mortem attempt to rid humanity of that wicked, wicked harbinger of doom!

The Room That Wasn’t There
When Daniel moved into the old stone house on Maple Street, he wasn’t looking for adventure — just peace. After a brutal breakup and a draining job, he wanted silence, fresh air, and a place where no one knew his name. The house had stood empty for decades, its last owner disappearing without a trace in the late 1970s. The real estate agent mentioned that history with a nervous smile, brushing it off as “local legend.” Daniel didn’t care. He got it cheap. The first few days were calm. Dusty sunlight through cracked windows. The creak of old floors. The occasional scuttle of mice in the attic. It was lonely, but peaceful. Exactly what he wanted. Then, one night, he woke up to a knock. Three sharp taps. Coming from inside the wall. At first, Daniel thought he was dreaming. He sat up, heart thudding, listening. Silence. He sighed, lay back down, and tried to sleep again. But just as he was drifting off— Knock. Knock. Knock. This time, slower. Closer. He grabbed a flashlight, stumbling out of bed. The sound came from the hallway, where the wallpaper peeled away in faded curls. The beam of light quivered in his hand as he followed the sound to the end of the hall — to a wall that shouldn’t have been there. It was strange. The floorboards stopped abruptly, and the wall looked newer than the rest of the house — smooth, freshly plastered, as if someone had sealed something behind it. Daniel knocked. Something knocked back. He froze, every instinct screaming run. But curiosity — that old, dangerous curiosity — won. He pressed his ear to the wall. Behind it, faintly, came the sound of breathing. He stumbled back, nearly dropping the flashlight. His pulse hammered in his ears. “It’s an animal,” he told himself. “Just a raccoon or something trapped.” The next morning, he brought a hammer and crowbar. The first strike sent a sharp echo through the hall. The second made the plaster crumble. And the third revealed a hidden door — wooden, old, and carved with symbols Daniel didn’t recognize. He hesitated. Then he turned the handle. The air that spilled out was cold. Not normal cold — the kind that smells of earth and rot, the kind that belongs to something that hasn’t seen light in years. Inside was a small room. No windows. Just a single chair in the middle, a cracked mirror on the wall, and a message scratched into the floorboards: “Do not look at her reflection.” Daniel laughed nervously. “Weird prank,” he muttered, shining his light around. The mirror caught the beam and threw it back, warped and cloudy. Then he saw something move. Behind him. In the reflection. A woman. Pale as chalk, hair hanging in wet clumps, eyes like black pits. She stood right behind him. Daniel spun around — the room was empty. When he looked back at the mirror, she was closer. He dropped the flashlight. It flickered and went out, plunging everything into darkness. For a moment, he could only hear his breathing — fast, uneven — and then a whisper, inches from his ear: “You shouldn’t have opened the door.” He bolted out of the room, slamming the hidden door shut. His hands shook so badly he could barely turn the key in the lock. He shoved a bookshelf in front of it and didn’t sleep that night. But the next morning, the door was open again. And the bookshelf had been moved. Over the next few days, things got worse. The mirror appeared in different rooms. He’d wake up to find it leaning against the wall at the foot of his bed. Once, when he tried to smash it, the glass didn’t break — it breathed. Daniel called the real estate agent, demanding answers. She was silent for a long time before finally whispering, “You found the room?” He froze. “You knew?” “There’s a reason that house was empty,” she said. “Every owner found that room. And every one of them vanished. The mirror keeps them.” Daniel didn’t wait to hear more. He grabbed his keys, ran to the car, and sped away without looking back. But when he reached the highway, the world around him began to fade — colors draining, sounds dulling. The road stretched endlessly ahead, but his reflection in the rearview mirror was smiling. And it wasn’t his smile. The police found his car the next morning, engine running, driver’s seat empty. The only clue was a cracked mirror on the passenger side, fogged from the inside, with one word written in the condensation

My name is Yolanda, I'm 26 and stay at Alexander, Today I'm sharing with you a very scary moment , women listen especially slay queens Okay Im a police officer in Sandton District and this other dearly night after I've knocked off i decided to go buy something that i was going to cook when i get home, I chose everything and went to the first till and there was this handsome young man. I got there and I payed everything but I could see that the gentleman is interested in me. He then asked for my numbers and I gave him. It didn't take three days before we could start flirting and by day 3 he gave me a call and said we should meet later on I'll find him at his workplace he'll be knocking off. Okay later around 5 I went to pick n pay , I first went to the isles and took a pack of apples, a pack of 20 cigarettes, two cans of coke for me and him. I went straight to his till and told him I'm here but he gave me his house keys and address as it was the first time going there, he told me that okay it seems like I'll knock off a little bit later heres the address, please take the keys I'll find you in my house and i said okay no problem. That night i took my work gun with 3 bullets inside , I was really excited though. So I drove to his house at Sandton and when I got there it was a Lil bit dark but I could see a big empty pool . I passed and went straight to open the house door yoh when I opened the door a huge rotten smell came out of the house , okay in my mind I just thought maybe it's something that is rotten inside the house and decided to throwing my self in the sofa that's in the sitting room I decided to call on my new guy because he was taking long to knock off and he wasn't updating me, he just kept telling me that he is finishing something he is coming. My phone battery kept on going down and when I fried to call him for the 4th time it switched off. When I was laying in the sofa, that smell came back but this time it was coming from the passage and i could feel that it is approaching me , before you know it when I look at the passage I saw a little ugly creature that looks like a kid, okay I just told my self that okay maybe it's his kid but he hasn't took a bath. That little short thing came and sat next to me next to the sofa and I got a Lil scared, He then pointed at the apples that I've bought at pnp and he asked what is that? I told him it's apples don't you know apples? He then said no give me one so that I can taste, I threw one at him and that's when u saw his dirty long nails. He then swallowed the whole apple in his mouth and I was left scared, he then pointed at the pack of cigarettes and asked what us that? I told Him it's cigarettes, he asked what do we do with it and i told him that we smoke it and he said I should give one to him and I did and lit one for him, he then smoked it all with one pull and said hmm e monate yoh ka sesotho (meaning mmh this thing is nice) Okay one hour passed since mo guy said he was coming and here I am sitting with his tokoloshe. The little thing shocked me last when he asked for the can of coke , drank it all with the can and said hmm it's really nice. That's when I realized that it's not human and in fear I took out my gun and started cleaning it with a cloth The tokoloshe then asked what is it that you are carrying, I told him it's a gun and he said "Can I also taste it? Is it nice? With courage I stood up and the in his mouth. I had 3 bullets and I fired all three in his mouth, but the creature didn't feel pain instead he just said mmmh this one is not nice. The next day the police found me laying in the empty swimming pool and when I explained everything to them they didn't believe me, Has anyone ever met something like this? A tikoloshe is known to be a very gruesome creature and has been well known in the southern Africa from the olden days however this creature is known to be summoned by a human being and doesn't do what it wishes it only does what it's owner has instructed tikoloshe owners use the power of this creature to gain fame power and wealth and it does exactly that ofcourse though in exchange for blood or sexual sacrifice if you want to hear more about this creature follow me for more stories to come
