The Room That Wasn’t There
Ethan had lived in his new apartment for a month before he noticed the door. It was strange—he had never seen it before. It was in the hallway, near his bedroom, blending in with the wall so well that he could have sworn it hadn’t been there when he moved in.

Jake had never believed in ghosts. He had always dismissed supernatural stories as tricks of the mind. That was until he moved into his new apartment—a small but affordable place with an old-fashioned feel. The only thing he found odd was the massive antique mirror in the hallway.

Lena had always been afraid of the dark. Even as an adult, she kept a nightlight on, just in case. So, when she moved into her new apartment and found that the bedroom had an old, faulty light that flickered at night, she felt uneasy. But rent was cheap, and she told herself she’d get used to it.

Kappa: Japan’s Mysterious Water Demon
History and Origins of the Kappa The Kappa (河童), signifying "river child," is a noteworthy yokai (supernatural creature) in Japanese old stories. Constantly depicted as a land or possibly water capable being lives in streams, lakes, and lakes. The early phases of the Kappa legend can be followed back to the Edo time span (1603-1868), however references to comparable water spirits exist in extra painstakingly pre-arranged Japanese texts. Some recognize the fantasy comes from genuine sightings of creatures like monster reptiles or turtles, while others propose that the Kappa legend was made to alarm kids about the risks of water.

She spent her first few days cleaning, exploring, and taking long walks through the overgrown backyard.
