《Short Ghost Stories》44) The House 'Gatekeeper'
Advertisement
Location : Bukit Panjang, Singapore
Sender : Mr Yan
The most frightening experience my family and i ever encountered happened inside my rented flat in Bukit Panjang, Singapore. We had rented this apartment because our new house was still under construction and will only be ready the following year.
The first 3 weeks things were as per normal until my wife told me that she's been seeing things inside the house when she came home late from work. During that time, my kids and i were fast asleep. The house was in full darkness and she saw a very huge black figure sitting at the dining table in the kitchen! At first she thought it was me but when she turned on the lights, it vanished!
My children had experienced the same thing too. One night, i found them crying inside their bedroom. They complained that they saw the same thing; a huge black figure multiple times around the house. As for myself, i haven't experienced anything until one night..
I was doing my work in the living room while my wife and children were fast asleep. Suddenly i heard my wife called out my name a few times. I went into the room only to find her crying on the bed. I saw that our comforter was already on the floor. I asked her what happened.
"I called you a few times. After a few minutes, i felt someone pulling the comforter away from me. I thought it was you. The next thing i know was, i felt a very harsh scratch on my left leg.." she pointed out at her left leg.
True enough, there were scratches in bright red on my wife's leg. I was shocked and speechless! I wasn't satisfied with what happened and i knew that somehow my family is in danger if we don't find someone whose good at this to see what's actually going in the house.

Immediately the following day, we brought someone over to our place. He was a religious teacher recommended by friends. We let our children sleepover at my sister's house for their safety. Just imagine, the religious teacher went into my bedroom and locked himself in. We could hear from outside how he read the prayers and then after 2 long hours inside, he finally came out but there were so many scratches all over his body! If my wife haven't gone through the same experience, i probably won't believe it!
"I'm sorry but this isn't my fight. This Gatekeeper have been here for too long. It's too strong for me. Please find someone else." he gave up.
I started doing research on how to keep the demons and ghosts away from my houses and found out that most of the sources suggested us to pray daily and read the holy book as well. These 2 are the main key in keeping away unwanted things from entering the house. Till today, this Gatekeeper is still inside my house and we're trying our best to get rid of it.
Thanks.

Of Frost and Steel
After being kicked out of home by her own parents, Emily found herself living in the house of an old woman while working as a plumber to help pay the bills. Her slightly unusual but still very normal life came to an abrupt end one day when an incoming car crashed into hers. When she next opened her eyes, she found no ambulance or hospital room waiting for her. What she found were instead the faces of beings much larger than her who were not entirely human, and the opportunity to live a new life, free of her old one. WARNING: This fiction is dedicated to a friend of mine who spent twelve years of her life hiding who she was because she feared the reaction of her family. For this reason it contains LGBT themes, although they won't be the sole or main focus of the story. The story contains sexual themes, but I will try to keep them to a minimum or make them "fade to black". Chapters will be around 1000 words long and without a fixed release schedule, for the moment.

I do not know when the next port call will be so I will be on another Hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. Scribblehub is not blocked on my work computer so I will be able to update my story on that website. It can be found here.) This story is a draft, I'll be doing my best to update monthly; work might get in the way of that so some update might be delayed an extra week or so. There will be roughly 31 chapters in total (I have the entire plot written down for the first book and the overall plot written down for the entire series.). (Summary is also a WIP and will change later to better fit the story. Any advice on how to write a summary for multiple POV's would be amazing)

My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter.
