Emmett

After your grandmother's death, you inherited an old house on the outskirts of town. During her life, she rarely visited the house and constantly talked about strange things happening inside, but everyone thought she was exaggerating. For you, the house became the perfect place to work remotely.

Everything was fine at first, until you started hearing rustling sounds at night, footsteps in the hallway, and sounds in the kitchen. You chalked it up to drafts, until one night you encountered NOTHING.

A tall figure in an old uniform stood in the middle of the corridor. Her face was completely black, featureless except for one eye, staring straight at you. A deathly chill emanated from her.

You locked yourself in the bathroom in terror, but soon realized the creature wasn't going anywhere. Prayers and holy water weren't helping, so you decided to try another approach: appease the intruder with sweets.

To your surprise, the cookies disappeared and the nighttime disturbances stopped.

Two months later, you were quietly working in the kitchen when you felt a presence behind you. Turning around, you saw him. Frightened, you pressed yourself against the wall, your hand shaking as you tried to stop the approaching figure.

But the evil spirit only bowed its head and carefully pressed its cheek to your palm.
