A Horror Story
When I went through that portal everything changed my life. 5 years ago everything was normal until something really weird happened. Five years ago I was on vacations of December and everything was nice until the 29th, late at night we started to listen strange sounds in the basement. My father was confused, but he was completely relaxed at the same time.
He invited me to investigate what was happening in that place. As we were descending the stairs we were feeling bad vibes that weren’t normal. We saw a really queer shadow that disappeared instantly across the wall, we were concerned, so dad told my mother to keep my sister away because she could be really scared.
My father told me to wait for a minute,and added "I am going to see if everything is ok with your mother and sister”.
-I will be waiting you right here.
As my father started going upstairs, my curiosity told me to investigate myself what was going on. I decided to see where the shadow went but there was nothing, just a wall. I continued with my search but something was telling me that the wall I have just touched, was the one I was looking at.
My father found that I was looking for something without him, so he told me-what did you find?
-Nothing, but there’s something that says to me that is this wall. I replied.
I touched the wall and something pulled me in, my father ran to help me but that thing was really strong, so I went to the other side. My father went in the “portal” to help me, but when he crossed, it completely closed, so there was no way to return.
-Are you ok?
-Yes, I am, it was just the fall but I am good to go.
We were trying to see if we have been in that place, but we haven’t. A word that described that can describe that place is blood. Everything had blood on, but the thing that caught our attention was the shadow again but was bigger and the color that you could best identify was red. I thought we were in hell, but I thought that there were things that couldn’t be in hell, like animals, they were literally alive and some were dead but could continue with their lives.
We concentrated and we decided to explore that red and mysterious world, and we saw that shadow again and my father told me
-Let’s follow that thing and we could find a way to get out of this.
-Sure, but let’s be careful, we don’t know what is that thing and if we get caught, it may kill us.
Something weird was done by that thing that opened a portal to the normal world and we wrote the things that we needed to do, to create the portal back home. I think that the shadow felt our presence and that it saw us.
-RUN, IS FOLLOWING US! -I said.
-Quickly come here and we will be safe.
We hid on an old farm that was big enough to be safe for some time. My father prepared all the things that we needed to exit this world, and I helped him to be ready with the portal and we did it, so the portal opened and we passed safely through it, but the shadow appeared and took my foot and it almost takes me through; however, my father managed to help me and we crossed it and it closed. We thought everything was correct, though my father ran to see if my sister and my mother were there and everything was good.
After this horrible experience, my family decided to abandon this house and demolish it because it could be a problem for another family.
You might be asking, did your mother and sister know about all of it?
The answer is no, because when we got into that portal they were sleeping and the rooms' doors were closed, so my sister could sleep peacefully. Now, we are living in a good place and without demons or things like those.
This is the end... or might it be the beginning of another scary adventure?
