Ghosts Come at Midnight

[Chilling on Second Thought | Midnight Tales of the Strange | Obsessions Become Ghosts | The Ghosts in People's Hearts]

In an empty hallway at three in the morning, the motion-activated lights flicker on and off, as if someone is slowly coming closer.

On the last bus of the night, every passenger sits with their head bowed in silence. Beneath them, there is nothing at all: no shadows.

I stare blankly into the mirror, but my reflection slowly turns its head while I remain perfectly still.

Everyone fears ghosts, never realizing that ghosts are the most pitiful, and the most clear-eyed.

Trapped by their obsessions, they hide amid the bustle of everyday life.

They wander through old apartment buildings, whisper in forgotten alleys, and silently watch you while you sleep.

They don't want your life. They only ask you one thing:

What guilty secret are you hiding in your heart?

Strange, true events happening right beside you,

tragedies of human life hidden in the shadows.

Don't think ghosts are confined to the underworld.

True horror has never been in the underworld. It's here among the living, and inside your heart.
