1.nightmare

A man goes to prison. The prison is a bunk bed. The strange thing is that the guy on the top bunk seems to be mute and never speaks. The man had nightmares from the first day he went to prison, and they were all the same.

He dreamed that he was walking in a dark alley, and a woman in a red dress had killed a child. He wanted to call for help, but he could not scream and could not walk. Within a month, the man was tortured unspeakably.

That night, he stopped sleeping and kept going with his eyes wide open.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the man in the upper bunk talking. His voice was deep, as if he were talking in his sleep or telling a story.

He listened carefully for a moment, and his blood ran cold.

"You're walking down a dark alley in the dark, and you see a woman in a red dress, and she raises a knife, and she kills a child..."

2.window

A woman reporter went to the country to collect stories and stayed in a shabby hotel for the night.

After entering the room, it was very dark.

Opposite the bed was a picture of a man, angular and lifelike, especially the eyes.

At night, when she slept, she felt that someone was watching her in the dark, so she decided not to look at the picture.

The next morning, when she went to look, her scalp tingled.

It wasn't a picture, it was a window.

The man went home after rummaging, looking for a long time, ID card, bank card, mobile phone, wallet... Nothing is missing.

The parents were so distraught that they hastily buried their daughter's body behind their house in order to avoid seeing it.

In the middle of the night, the parents heard the sound of fingernails scratching the wood in the grass behind the house. The old couple felt creepy. Everyone said it was haunted. As time went by, the old couple gradually forgot about it.

A few years later, the family moved to the grave, opened the coffin, the old couple cried to death.

I saw the nail marks on the coffin board, the clothes on my body, the quilt under my body was torn a few years ago... The girl was buried alive.

Twelve years later, the boatman stopped ferrying boats.
