B: Sure. What do we do now?

B: Hmm... I know! I’ll tell you a scarystory! It happened to me and my dad when I was a teenager…

Iwas living with my father at the time, when he received a phone call.

F: Hello? Yes this is him. I see, I’m sorryto hear that. Ok no problem. I’ll be there shortly.

Packsome clothes Tony, my great aunt is very ill and no one in the family wants totake care of her. We are going to stay at her house for a few days.

K: Aunt? What aunt? I never knew you had agreat aunt!

F: Well, the family doesn’t talk about heror get near her, for that matter.

K: Why is that?

F: Come on, we have to go.

B: So we arrived at this old house on the outskirtsof our town. There was almost no one around and the house had an eerie look toit. Once inside the house, we walked to her room and I was surprised to find mydad’s great aunt in a wheelchair, yelling at someone, but we were alone in the room.

F: Hi, aunt Ursula! This is my son Tony.

U: Why have you come? Why are you here?Don’t you know it isn’t safe? My time is near, he is coming for me.

K: Who is coming for you?

U: The prince of darkness! The lord of theunderworld, the tempter, the old serpent.

F: Come on, aunt Ursula let’s lay you down.You need to get some rest. Tony, help me lay her down.

B: That night, we slept in one of the 12 roomsof that big old mansion. The trees outside seemed to come alive and their shadowsformed ghoulish shapes on my bed. All of a sudden, we heard screaming.

U: Ahhh! Get off me beast! I won’t let youtake me! Ahhh!

K: Dad! Dad! Something is attacking aunt Ursula!

U: Take your claws off me! Go back to theunderworld you demon! I shall be judged before you can take me!

F: The door is jammed! Stand back! AuntUrsula! Where are you?

K: Over here!

B: And as we approached her, she was lying onthe floor, with her hands and feet open like the Vitruvian Man, breathing heavilywith bloody marks and scratches on her arms, legs and face.

Rememberhow I mentioned that she was in a wheel chair? My aunt had been paralyzed fromthe neck down for just over a year.

Afterthis incident, strange things would happen in the house and my aunt would yelland scream, according to her, warding off the evil that had come to get her.

Asthe days passed, she became very weak and eventually was unable to talk. My dadhad to work during the day, so I was left to care for her.

Whenshe lost her voice and laid on her death bed, I would hear her breathe in andout.

U:……

B: So finally, oneday she breathed in and never excelled. That night I felt relieved that it wasfinally over, but it wasn't.   

I was so terrifiedof what I was hearing that I didn't sleep all night. The following morning Iwent to the bathroom, expecting to find a mass and everything torn up, that Ifound everything exactly as it was before.

The movers came thatsame day, and as we were cleaning out her drawers and personal items, we foundstrange notebooks with names and amounts of money written next to them.

We found pictureswith people's faces sown with black or red string, and you want to know what thestrangest thing was? There was a small doll filled with dead ants, with astrand of hair tied around its waste.

And on the doll'sface, there was a picture of me with the numbers 31/10/09. You know what dateit is today? It's October 31, 2009.
