I always walk from home to work, and vice versa. There was actually a shortcut that brought it a few hundred meters closer, unfortunately the place was notoriously haunted, and no one dared to pass through there at night.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Incidentally one night I came home late from work, plus my condition at that time was not so healthy. That&#8217;s why I chose to walk through the shortcut because I was lazy to walk. I honestly don&#8217;t care what people say about the haunted place, of course I just want to get home quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The shortcut is very dark, because the position is behind the houses of residents. Not to mention of minimal lighting and lots of shrubs. The longer I feel the more uncomfortable, making me speed up my pace. During my hasty steps, I tripped over something and I fell. I turned on my cell phone, and saw what tripped me with the help of the cell phone light. My heart almost broken as soon as I found out what it was.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out to be an old tombstone, only about a third of the height of a normal tombstone, I knew it was a tombstone because of its distinctive shape and beside it was a border like\u2026 a grave. I&#8217;ve been walking in the old cemetery area! No wonder no one wants to pass here at night. Not enough of that, then I saw the tombstone shaking. This is impossible because I stumbled like a minute ago, but the movement of that tombstone is getting faster. I immediately got up and ran as fast as I could. Then when I got home I went straight to bed.<\/p>\n<p>In the morning my body felt heavy, it seemed that I was too lazy to go to the office. Even when I walk to the bathroom my steps are very heavy. It was like a weight was pressing on my leg. But I didn&#8217;t see anything strange about my feet. Maybe it&#8217;s because I fell last night. Since maybe I didn&#8217;t think my wound was that bad, I decided to go to my office.<\/p>\n<p>But my feet are more difficult to walk. The distance that I usually travel in 15 minutes to the office now has to take me more than half an hour. My co-workers also looked at me strangely. Some of them even asked me what happened. I just replied that I fell last night and until today has not recovered. After that, many of my co-workers suggested that I should go visit a doctor. Well, there is a public clinic nearby.<\/p>\n<p>The next day when I went to the clinic, my feet still felt heavy, my body was getting weaker. Worried that there will be serious internal injuries if left unchecked. But when I had just walked a few dozen meters, someone I didn&#8217;t know came up to me, asking what had happened to me. I just replied that this happened because of a mere fall. But that person just looked at me with a look that made me uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>He asked if I had passed through that haunted shortcut the other day and I said yes. I also told him that I had tripped over a tombstone and saw his face change. But before that I asked him how he knew I&#8217;d been there.<\/p>\n<p>He replied that he knew of a spirit who was the inhabitant of the old cemetery, and he had seen that since yesterday that figure had been holding my legs together. Looks like he doesn&#8217;t want to let go. Maybe that&#8217;s why every time I walk, I feel like dragging something. When I asked how he looked, the man said it was a good thing for me not to know or I might faint from fright.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously I&#8217;m horrified, imagine all day long I&#8217;m with a creature from another world who continues to grip my leg and follow me while I&#8217;m away. That person then advised me to immediately go to a healer, then that person immediately left me with the excuse of having business. I haven&#8217;t had a chance to ask anything yet though.<\/p>\n<p>I was silent while imagining a scary creature like in the movies holding my leg. I wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible but it seemed impossible. I had to think of positive things to cheer myself up. I also had to go back to my house and call someone I know. Finally with very heavy legs I stepped back towards the house, and I felt more and more weak, my body was getting harder and harder for me to move. I felt like fainting.<\/p>\n<p>When I was trying desperately to walk back to my house, there was someone else who greeted me while looking at me with a look that was no less strange than previous person. When he started talking about what had happened to me, I could immediately guess,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You want to say what happened to my leg, don&#8217;t you?&#8221; I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I asked you that, you would have felt it yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The answer was beyond my expectations. Then the person slightly nervously continued his words,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, don&#8217;t you feel something else? Because I saw that there were several other figures who were also on your back, your shoulders, and above your head\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The distance from my house to the office is not too far, only about a kilometer or so.
