never miss another strange story subscribe and hit the bell sit back and get comfortable I have a few stories to share with you you know that feeling you get when you're alone in the dark the one that's not there during the daylight or if there's someone else there beside you you may have discussed this feeling with your friends laughed it off as you tell them that you found yourself running up the stairs last night hardly daring but unable to stop yourself glancing back down into the dark everyone knows that feeling right now there is a woman in the basement storage room her office building searching through boxes of files with a torch for last year's tax return the air is very still but the hairs on the back of her neck are rising as though there's a breeze she glances back over her shoulder towards the door but sees nothing she flicks through the papers a little faster suddenly desperate for the chatter of the office above her that moment for her at least is endless there is a young man walking home from the bus stop now in a short path enveloped by trees it counts five minutes from his journey and he always takes it without saying but one sees on the path out of the soft orange glow of the streetlights he regrets his decision every whisper of the wind every rustle of the leafs makes him cast his eyes back behind him in another minute or so he will emerge onto the street and forgotten about this feeling completely until next time somewhere else there's a girl in the shower washing her hair this is usually a mundane task that she completes with barely a thought but tonight she's alone in the house and something is different she keeps opening her eyes so burning through her retinas to confirm that the bathroom is still empty she feels exposed in a way that she never does when her parents are downstairs watching the television unseen but their presence is still known another one in the living room of a shared flat the flatmate left an hour ago or so through an archway in the corner of the eye is the dark empty space of the kitchen they realized that their eyes keep drifting over to the space until they are staring wide-eyed and a blackness they live their lips thirsty they do not venture into the dark kitchen or a much grave class of water people have tried in the past to isolate and examine that feeling find the reason for its being explain it away with science in comforting natural logical they've all failed of course the feeling is not natural because when it perceives is not natural you always tell yourself they were just being paranoid and that it's just the leftover spooks from that last war movie watched but I'm afraid that feeling is very real it's primal and it knows it puts you on high alert because it senses danger and the eerie feelings come from not being able to perceive it with your first five senses of course is an easier way of describing this feeling this thing it comes over you in the dark empty spaces you find yourself in [Music] it's me now turn off the light will you [Music] [Music]
