Lost Soul: The Child in the Van

A man bought a second hand van from a family for a cheap price. Due to his financial situation, he got to use as a passenger van so he can earn money for his family. But he didn't know what comes within it.

His van is always rented by people such as travellers, media and family for vacation within his province. The roads are rough especially on rainy seasons, so his van is always a good business. But he is always been told by his costumers about something they always experience.
One day, a producer with her cameraman had rented his van to go to a fruit farm where they can shoot a new fruit commercial. The owner of the van (let's name him John) John drove them to the vast of the farmland. When they reached the destination. The cameraman set up his camera while the producer set up the group of fruits needed to be shoot. There are about four of them in the middle of the farm, the cameraman, the producer, the farm owner and John. After the fruits had been settled, the cameraman look through the view finder ready to shoot. But to his surprised, an image of a little boy quickly passed by behind the fruits, he stood up and asked everyone if they noticed something, particularly someone. They all said they haven't and the producer just told him to finish quick for the next location. But the cameraman swore he saw something and gave him goosebumps.

Interview:
Producer: I don't believe him, we were shooting at daylight, the sun is striking and its a bright afternoon.
John: I'm not saying I don't believe him, its just there's only four of us there, and if there is someone, we would see it quick since the                   farm is wide enough.
Cameraman: I stood up, I looked around, trying to check if its something, I don't wanna scare myself. But I swear...

After the shoot, they packed up and then three of them continued the journey going to the next shooting location. During the travel, they started joking about it. John said that the child who appeared in the camera might be in the van with them and the cameraman told him to not joke about it. After long hours of travel, in the dark of the night, John asked the producer if they can have a rest for just two hours and after that, they can continue the travel. The producer agreed and he stopped the car in the middle of the rough road and then they fell asleep.
In the dream, John was sitting in the driver's seat while the producer and the cameraman is sleeping the backseat. An old man suddenly appeared outside his window, just beside him, banging the door and trying to open it...

Interview:
John: There was an old man, he's like a typical farmer, wearing a wooden hat and a dirty white polo shirt. He was looking straight at me and he was banging the window, he wanted to open the door. He's like he wanted the child to get in. And when i looked at my right side, the child was there!

John was screaming and the producer woke him up. After he had woke up, he quickly run the engine and told them that the child is with them and they have to leave. They were all in shocked.

Before that incident, a couple had rented the van from john to go to a party. When they were heading home (still n the province area) The husband was driving a bit too fast late in the evening, and his wife told him to slow it down. After a moment, his wife screamed and told him he hit someone. He quickly stopped the car and went off to see who it was, there was nothing. And his wife told him that she saw a little child, a boy waving across the road and that he hit him, he was scared and drove away. But after a few minutes, his wife screamed so loud, and he asked her whats wrong. She said the child is with them and that he is screaming. But the husband heard nothing.

Interview:

Husband: She told me the child was screaming, she was so frightened. I couldn't understand, because i didn't see nothing nor hear nothing.

John said that his costumers would tell him that a little child with injured head, soaked in his blood is appearing in the van. And he said he knew, because he can feel it, and see him sometimes, especially at night, whenever he opens the sliding door, he would see him there at back seat.

They invited a paranormal expert to see if this is real. She made some experiment with John inside the van, and she said, this child is playful, he's an energy, he's dead, and he's dead long time. But he has some kind of attachment to the van, or the person who's always here, that's why he wouldn't leave.

Around the neighborhood, they made a survey to the people living in the area. If they know anything about a little child appearing at night or something, most of them said they do, that a boy would usually appear and visitors would often see him. But a particular guy from the neighborhood knew something that will give the answer about who that child is.

This man said that he would often see the child crossing the road. There's a school nearby and there are many children. And then he led the interviewer to a woman that according to him, knows something about it.

Interview:
Woman: I had a child, a boy, Jeffrey, who died in 1998. He was five. He told me to give him money so he can buy sweets just across the road. But when he was crossing, he got hit by a truck and his head hit a stone and injured his head badly. I miss my son.

The paranormal expert had invited them to see the van and talk to the spirit.
The woman said (in her language)
Hey son, please come home, where you belong. Don't stay here, stop disturbing people. Come with me, where you can finally be peaceful.
Neighbor: Jeffrey, get off the van and come with us ok? Come on now, lets go home...

And during the conversation, they heard something inside the van. They hoped the child finally went out and leave everything peacefully.

Really?

Classmates

An outstanding highschool student have been trusted to help and look after the computer laboratory in their school. After the class, the student asked the professor if he can stay a bit longer to do his research paper on another subject. The professor gave him the key for the laboratory.

''Just remember, you can not let any other students here, because the class is done, and you know what teens do on computers...''

The student promised to follow the instruction.

He didn't noticed the time, he was there for 3 hours, and it's now half pass eight in the evening. The school is now quiet, and no students hanging around the campus. He stood up and checked if he saved all the documents he needed so he can finally go home. His professor also stayed late in the teacher's facilities.
The student had shutdown the computer when his professor went there to check if he's still there.
To his surprise, the professor stood there on the door and told him...

''I told you not to let other students here...''

.... but he's the only one in there.

50 Berkeley Square

Would you like some spine-chilling tour in London?
The picture shown is 50 Berkeley Square. It says to be the haunted house in London. The four storey brickwall house was built in the late eighteenth century. The photo might have been giving you the impression that it looks just like a normal house. But behind those walls lived a story to die for.
It says that the most haunted part of the house is the 4th floor where a woman in brown smoke or sometimes in white smoke appear in there and scare the people to death. They say that the woman had committed suicide in the exact spot where she is appearing. The reason behind that tragic event was that her uncle is abusing her leaving her no choice but to jump off the window, and until now, her spirit still resides in the area.
Throughout the years, people have been living in the house and there was about two people who died there for staying in the attic. It says that the death was caused by too much fright. Psychics have visited the place and they've said that they heard noises and have a this really strange feeling around them.
The house is still standing up to this date. You can see it on google maps, and if you want, check it out in person.

Beyond the Woods

“Squeak squeak…” as Amanda walks slowly at the back door of their kitchen. She headed to the woods where she and her friend planned to meet.

She saw Kayla standing beside the car… “..Hey, Amanda, I thought you’re not coming, it’s already pass twelve and it’s scary in here, I’m lucky to have Derek around….”said Kayla and kisses her boyfriend. “..What? I thought you said you’re not going to bring your precious boyfriend…” then Amanda put her bag in the backseat of the car. Derek stood beside her “..Oh c’mon ‘manda, we’re friends right?” Amanda rolled her eyes “...Yeah, whatever, let’s go, before the guards see us…”

On the way, manda could see Kayla teasing Derek from where she is sitting… “sigh… that what I’m saying, I really hate to see sweet scenes in front of me, so will you just cut it off? Lemme drive, you might get us in trouble…” 3am… “Wait, where are we?...” Kayla rubbed her eyes “…can’t see any houses around here…” manda slowed down the car and as she looked at the side mirror, she saw somethin’ else that made her stopped the car. “…whoa, somethin’ wrong?” asked Derek. Amanda looked at them in the rearview mirror…. “…I think we should go back now…” “…no, we are not going back… nothing’s gonna happen, ok? Maybe you’re just sleepy, c’mon, lemme take the wheels…”

Kayla took the wheels and Amanda sat beside Derek at the backseat. But there, in the middle of the road, they ran outta gas…. “Damn it…” Kayla strike the steering wheel “What are we gonna do now?!...” then she went off the car and tries to look for some help and Derek followed Kayla, Amanda was left inside the car. Suddenly, Kayla screamed so loud not far from where the car is. Amanda was so scared and she tried to look at the window but she couldn’t see anything for it was so foggy and the window is a bit misty, she rubbed the window with her sleeves and suddenly, a bloody hand of Derek reached out the window, Amanda leaned backwards, she was so shocked and she could hear Derek groaning and seemed to be calling her name. She move slowly near the window but then somebody opened it, a man with an axe on his right hand…. “… AHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh…!!!!!!!!!!!!...”

Amanda woke up in her bed, she saw her mom and dad staring at her. “Are you alright?” her dad asked her, she couldn’t say anything and all she did was staring at them” “... You’ll be fine now dear…” then her mom grabbed her hand. In her room, Amanda was busy reading a book near the window looking out to the woods. She looked at the calendar, date October 17, 2011.. “..hmmm…” “… a—a—amanda….” She heard a man calling her in a groaning manner. “Hello?...” she stood up and looked around… “..Aman—da...” “Where are you?” She walks slowly in the bathroom and she could hear the shower… and then somebody touched her shoulders… “ahh...!”

“… Dear, are you alright?” her mom asked her… “..Why yes mom...” “Do you need something dear?” “..No, maybe I’ll just go outside and chill myself…” “..Alright dear...” and her mom kissed her forehead. Amanda went out and headed to the old tire swing at the back of their house. She noticed the stock room was half open, she tries to look what’s inside but before she could reach the door, she heard a gunshot from the field.

Amanda went there to see what it was, she saw two persons hunting, one handsome guy and a pretty sexy lady who moves like a man, they are wearing a uniform like in the army. Amanda hides behind the bushes and when the lady tries to shoot her… “Zoey stop… I saw a girl, show yourself lady!” as he hold Zoey’s arm. Amanda stood up… “…oh…” Zoey put her gun in her pocket “…What are you doing here young lady?” “…uh,just wonderin’ about the gunshots…” as she walks a little bit nearer at ‘em. “…you heard us?” Zoey asked again. “…D’you live nearby?” added Ash. “Why yes, our house is situated inside the woods…” Amanda answered and smiled. Zoey and Ash looked at each other with wonder, and then Zoey spoke “Are we disturbing or somethin’? “…no, not at all, maybe I have to go now…”

Amanda faced backwards. “…Wait! Do you have a phone?” Ash asked her as he walks near to Amanda. “Maybe you could help us find a nicer spot for hunting…” and he faced Zoey and winked. Zoey smiled, held her gun and pointed to Ash. “…that’s enough Mr. Lover…” “…here’s my card number, call me, my name is Ash and she’s Zoey…” handed the card to Amanda. “Ok, my name is Amanda and nice to meet you…” Zoey and Ash left right after that.

Dinner, Amanda was just sitting in the kitchen watching the maids prepare their food. Amanda lives in a very old mansion inside the forest with her mom and dad, they have maids and few men guarding the house during night times. They live peacefully in that place and Amanda spent her whole life in there.

A stormy night woke up Amanda from a deep sleep, she looked outside the window and saw lightings, she went off her bed and walks near the window to see if the rain is flooding the woods, but instead of flood, she saw somethin’ else, no, she saw someone else. A shadow of a man with an axe in his right hand. Amanda grasped her fright and when she step backwards, she hit the vase and the man might have heard her because he looked up to Amanda’s window.

She ran off outside her room wearing white nighties. She went to her parent’s room, but to her surprised, she saw nothing but rotting body of her parents. Amanda cried “… No!!...” and she ran off the stairs, she grabbed the phone and ash’s card number. Amanda was shaking and crying while typing the number of Ash. The phone was ringing but nobody is answering it. “…Somebody answer please!!! Hello?! Ash!...” she was screaming then she heard the back door slammed open. Amanda hanged up the phone and ran outside the front door and headed to the woods, she could feel the man was following her and that he is eager to kill her….

A bright light met her eyes that made her stop for a moment, it came from Zoey and Ash’s car. “Thank God… Ash over he - - - - …” She saw a group of police surrounding somethin’ and Amanda walks near to see what they are looking at. The car of her friends was found as well as their bodies, it smells so bad that everyone was covering their nose, it’s rotten “No, Kayla, Derek….” She whispered to herself.

She looked at the sky and saw a vision . . . . . . . .

“…hey Amanda, would you like to have a little camping tonight or just a joyride, somethin’ like that….” Kayla asked her while applying lipstick. “Just you and me?...” Amanda asked back. “Yeah of course, not bringin’ my boyfriend though I can’t live without him…” and Kayla chuckles. “..oh shut up, dad will not allow me to…” and proceeded writing. “Aww, c’mon Amanda, let’s try to enjoy ourselves, especially you. Do you really love school, you spend all your time studying maybe you should stay here in school, haha…” and Kayla laughed at Amanda. “Alright, fine!” Amanda rolled her eyes”… I’ll make an excuse, bring your car and wait for me at 10pm in the woods, near our back door…” “Good!” and Kayla hugged her. “Stop Kayla, I’m writing here… what date is it today…?”

Amanda woke up from that vision, and then a man screamed “Over here Looked!”

A police opened the door of the backseat of the car….

Amanda’s vision continued… “What date is it today?”

“uhh, October 17, 1970..”

Red lace

In an old hospital, a nurse is busy going about her daily business. She took a lift to the other patient she's looking after. Inside the lift, there's a boy about 7 years of age, wearing a white gown, looking a bit pale, you can see that he's a patient in the hospital. The nurse greet him nicely as they go up. On they way up to the 5th floor, the lift stopped and there's an old woman standing on the other side, probably waiting for the lift. But when the woman tried to enter, the nurse closed the door before she does. The boy wondered why she did that, so he asked.
''Why did you close it on an old woman?''
''Because she's not from here...''
''What do you mean?''
''That old woman is dead, that's her spirit...''
''How do you know that?''
''You can see a red lace around her wrist...''
The boy raised his right arm towards the nurse and said...

''Like this?''

Late night project

A group of college students were trying to finish a project inside their campus that is due the next day. By the time the clock strikes at 11:05 in the evening, one of them told the group that she would finish the other details so they can go home and rest for the presentation. They were 7 girls. They went out of their classroom and walked through the silent hallway, nothing was very unusual, so they tell stories and giggled on their way. Out of the building, one girl, namely Maggie, felt the urge for a toilet.

''Guys, why don't you go along and I will just go for the toilet, i will see you guys tomorrow...''

And so, the other 6 girls went on their way home while Maggie searched for the nearest toilet she can find in the campus. In the old building of Science and Humanities, she found a toilet, she hurriedly run towards it. It was dark in the building and she is the only person to be there by now. When she reached the toilet, she saw a little girl wearing an old style faded grey dress washing her hand by the sink. She looks beautiful and about 10 years of age.

''Hey, what are you doin' here at this hour?'' Maggie ask her.

The girl looked at her by the mirror reflection. ''I'm waiting for my dad...''

In maggie's head, the little girl might be a night shift security officer's daughter.

''I see, well, I'm just going to use the toilet for a bit, and then we go out and we will find your dad...''

The little girl said nothing and just looked at maggie.

Maggie went inside one of the cubicle to do her thing. As she was sitting down, she heard the little girl's footsteps walked towards the toilet cubicle beside her.

''Are you ok?'' Maggie asked. There was no answer, but she can hear some noises. Maggie was just minding her business, staring towards the boring door when she suddenly felt a cold drop of liquid on top of her head. She raised her right arm and touched it and tried to look upward to see where its coming from. To her great surprise, she saw the little girl's head hanging above her, soaked in blood. The girl's eyes were staring at her, smiled and said.

''Are you finish?''
