One day, a happy couple got their first apartment. It was from an old lady that disappeared some months ago. They were happy to finally live together. The weeks passed and they found everything normal in the house, but one night, they saw in the old lady’s room, several names and dates. At first, they thought that these names were from people of her family and she wrote them to remember them so they didn’t pay attention. The days passed and the man noticed that a new name was there.
“Hey dear” he asked his girlfriend, “did this name was on the wall the last time that we entered the room?”
She quickly approached the room and saw the name.
“I-I think it was not honey, I don’t remember it”, she said afraid.
They decided to search the names on the internet and found that those names were from people that were found dead several weeks and months ago. And the dates were from when they found them dead.
Both were scared of that and decided to live in another apartment. That same night, when they were sleeping, they heard a weird noise in the kitchen. The man went first to see what happened and some minutes later the women went too. At first, they didn’t see anything but then, they found some kind of spirit at the house, but the more they approached it, they realized it was the old lady that lived in the house. The woman was shaking and the man was trying to act like he wasn’t scared, but he was. They tried to run but the old lady didn’t let them go, she set a circle of fire.
Afraid, they were begging to the old lady to let them go, but she said that they knew too much, and she couldn’t let them go alive. The lady went to her old room and tried to erase the names on the wall, meanwhile the couple was trying to make up a plan fast. They quickly called the police and agreed to distract the old lady until the cops arrived.
When she got back to the kitchen, they started the plan. They asked her why she killed the other people but of course she didn’t answer that, she started to make them suffer. First, she took the man and forced him to put his hand on the fire. Fortunately, he only spent 5 seconds with his hand there, because immediately the cops got in and captured the lady. They showed to the police the evidence of the photos that they took of the wall with the names and what appeared when they googled them. It was always people that lived before in that house.
The cops told them that they were lucky not to suffer the same misfortune of the others and thanked them for helping to finally capture the old lady. “For helping us capture the lady, we will give you a reward and a big house”, said one of the cops. The couple were very happy and relieved that nothing bad could happen to them.
But, what they didn’t know was that the old lady had a partner in all of this, and he found out that the old lady was captured. Angrily he swore that he will do anything to make the couple pay.
Are they sure that they will live in peace after that?
