Hi everybody, here are some stories that you might enjoy during this Quarantine time! They have been written by my students and are based on true events... Will you dare read these stories?
Scary story
The story takes place in Water Valley, Mississippi. My name is Emily and I live in a calm neighbourhood where people are really friendly. I am happy since I left my parent's house about one year ago. I live with my boyfriend and we consider founding a family. I love running in the magnificent local forests, once or twice a week. Last week, I was running in the woods at around 6 o'clock and I was almost at the half of my run when I realized that it was already getting dark but the sun usually sets 2 hours later during this period of the year. I instantly realized that I would not be able to finish my run so I called my boyfriend. Unfortunately, I was in an area without network coverage and my phone only had 10 percent of battery left. I decided to continue running to find an area with network. It was completely dark, I finally got a network coverage and I was able to call my boyfriend to pick me up. So, I stood there trying to distinguish shapes in the dark. Suddenly, I stopped breathing when I saw two red glowing eyes looking at me in the dark. It started getting closer and closer and doing inhuman sounds. I ran very fast in the opposite direction and I heard someone (or something) running behind me. I looked behind to see what it was and I immediately stumbled. When I turned around to get back on my feet, the "thing" wasn't there anymore and I saw car headlights. It was my boyfriend who had come to pick me up and when I entered the car I immediately ask him if he had seen anything. He answered that he didn't see anything. He asked me if I was injured and I said that I maybe had a sprained ankle. We went to the hospital where the doctor said that my ankle was badly sprained. After some research, I have deduced that "the thing" was a wendigo because the night has fallen faster than usual, it happened in the woods and there were inhuman sounds. Next time I'll be running I won't take the same path. I don't recommend you to run at night all alone in the woods.
When I was 16, I was living in Kos which is an island in Greece. I was living there with my father and my little brother. I don’t know my mother very well because she died when I was young but I never knew what happened. As a family, we used to go fishing because my father had a small fishing boat. It was amazing and we always wanted to go fishing but my father could only go on weekends with us because he worked during the week and he didn’t want to go there at night.
When I didn’t go to the sea with my father on weekends, I was spending my time with young people in my village. We played on the dike, we biked and we played PS2. A Saturday evening, I was going home with my friends and we didn’t really know what to do. Passing in front of my fishing boat, my friends had the fabulous idea to use it. Unfortunately, I disagreed because my father had advised me against it especially when my stupid brother was with us. I don’t know how but my friends managed to convince me and we used the boat. Our plan was just to make a one hour trip. After 15 minutes of sailing, we saw a small cave. I didn’t want to go in because I’m claustrophobic, but all of my friends were determinate to explore it. That’s why my friends decided to go in while I was staying at the entrance with my little brother who was really frightened. I let my brother play on my phone while I was watching the time go by and waiting impatiently for the return of my friends. My little brother is very clumsy and he dropped my Phone into the water. He immediately dived to recover it without even asking my opinion. I knew he could swim so I let him look for my phone because it would teach him a lesson. But after a lot of seconds I did not see him resurface. I was worried and started to panic. I decided to dive to look for him but I didn’t see anything under water because I’m myopic. The only thing I saw was the strange shadow of a woman. After I rised to the surface, I yelled at my brother but the only answer was a woman’s laugh. When my friends came back, I was crying and totally disoriented. They asked me what happened but I was too shocked to tell anything. They immediately called for help when they understood that my brother was missing. They kept looking for him for 2 weeks but the only thing they found was his necklace. Since I was young, I think it was the first time I saw my father cry. He decided to leave the island and never come back. For my eighteenth birthday he told me how my mother died. The strange fact is that my brother and her disappeared at the same place and my father and I heard the same sound. Legend says that mermaids lived in these waters.
The cyberspace legend
It has been said for decades that computers and technology will surpass us and even kill us. However, do you know if it is true or not ? Maybe the cyberspace legend can put you in the picture.
The story takes place more than 20 years ago in an office of the left tower of the twin towers, a young man on an internship in economics went to the computer room. He started working and, after half an hour, he left his computer but Internet Explorer was open. After his lunch break, he came back and went to the https//:travail.d.anglais.com/Pict page. The young man visited it as a normal page but did not know what was going to happen to him.
A few days after, the young man returned to his session and when he turned it on, it began to do weird things like opening various applications at the same time, writing green messages on a black background,... The young man found this weird and decided to turn the session off but each time it went off, it turned on again. He then thought of unplugging the computer but each time he approaches the plug, he received an electric shock. While the young man was trying to unplug the cable, he noticed that the PC next to it started to light up and had the same problem. The young man worried and called his friend who was a geek. He thought it was the best idea to save his internship. But, in doing so, he didn't know he was going to lose a loved one.
An hour later, his friend arrived at the tower and he joined him in the computer room. He looked at the PC and wondered how he was going to solve the problem. He started by trying to enter the basic lines of code against viruses, but it did not work so he tried a more complex code which should have had an effect, but did not. His friend had been trying different things for half an hour, but nothing worked. He began to lose patience and he furiously hit the keyboard with his hands. At that moment, he felt a violent electric shock that went through his entire body. After that, the virus had miraculously disappeared and the PC was functioning correctly.
A few hours later, the two friends went to a bar and as he was drinking the geek felt an electric shock when he swallowed. He wondered what was happening to him and the next morning he was feeling so bad that he could not get out of his bed. Worried, he phoned his friend to ask if he also had troubles getting up in the morning, but he didn’t. The geek explained his symptoms to his friend. During the all day, the geek’s friend wondered what disease his friend could have. At one point, he realized that the geek had the same symptoms as the computer when the virus was on it: weakening, poor connection and electrocution. The geek had caught one of the rare Interno biological virus.
This was the cyberspace legend that tells the story of a man who died of a computer virus.

Weird series of events in Daudzese
There is a Forest near my city named Aklais Purvs where strange events have happened. Some people from my town have mysteriously disappeared. There is an old lady in my town that everyone avoids because she’s always telling crazy stuff. One of her many stories is that she would have been taken away by the forest’s spirit 8 years ago when she was 30 but she’s in her seventies now (and there was a 30 years old lady who disappeared 8 years ago). Nobody really paid attention to her stories until recently when the story became real.
When she was 30, her passion was photography and she wanted to become a professional photographer. On the 29th of February 2012, she went in the forest to take pictures of the nature near the lake. She got off her job early and drove to the forest. She took pictures for hours then she wanted to go home but she couldn’t find her way back to the parking. She decided to walk until she found the Ranger’s office but when she found it, it was empty. She had been walking for about an hour when she noticed a voice that told her that she was trapped and that she had to follow it. She started to run thinking that she was followed by a weird man but she couldn’t find her way back. Hours later, she understood that she wouldn’t be able to escape so she followed the voice. She said that when she accepted to follow the voice, things started to change, everything started to become more colourful and beautiful. She thought she was going crazy so she took pictures. She couldn’t recognize anything. She stayed alone with the voice in this universe for what seemed like 40 years but when she got out she realized that only 4 years had passed in our world. The voice explained who they were and said that it was a kind of forest spirit who takes a woman wandering in his forest on every 29th of February. It chose her because it fell in love with her. She spent all this time looking for a way out and she found it. She is the first woman that was able to escape. When she came out, another lady had been missing for a few hours. She immediately thought about warning the villagers. Nobody listened to her for years until 3 days ago, when another girl went missing in this forest.
DANGER!
I have a good story.
It happened a few months ago. As we are in senior year, we had to choose a type of retreat and we decided to do the spiritual one. So, the concept is to walk a long distance during 4 days and to stop at different places. For example, we slept in a convent with nuns. We were a pretty small group of twelve students and a fearful teacher. During one of these nights, we suffered a kind of paranormal event. It was in the creepy house of “L’Epi” in Beauraing, more precisely at the Ardennes Street 57.
We arrived at that place at 5.00PM and the owner said that we could not enter in some of rooms without doing the sign of the cross before entering those rooms. We were tired and hungry, so we didn’t pay attention to the special atmosphere and we just talked to each other while we were waiting to go to eat in the convent. After that, we went to the blessed Virgin Mary apparition place. When we came back, we decided to visit the entire house and we just laugh about what the man said.
When we went to bed, we all felt an oppressive atmosphere, we slept upstairs but we heard doors banging on the ground floor. We started to freak out so we decided to gather all the crucifixes we found in the house to use them as a sort of protective barrier. Throughout the night, we could hear footsteps and creepy laughter coming from the “forbidden” rooms . The next morning, still frightened by the night, we decided to go downstairs together to see what had happened. Surprisingly, there was nothing special at first look but with a little more attention we noticed that there was a message written on one of the doors: "DANGER! ". We heard a voice far away without knowing where it came from, we realized that this voice was coming from an old radio and we distinctly heard voices that said "leave". We all quickly gathered our things and left this strange place. It was the strangest event of my life, I will never go back to this house again. I understood after all this that the owner's warnings were legitimate.

​
What happened last week to my uncle was actually incredible and scary. Let me tell you all about it.
It happened in a ghost town, in the middle of the US, where only a couple of people still live. They are about 80 surviving in this town called Atlantic City. My uncle is named Kyle. He moved there 3 months ago and, well, over the fact that he has a weird life, he is the richest and most powerful man in the area. Just as Al Capone in Chicago. He is not rich from good work but from cheating at games and he spends most of his time in casinos all over the US. And guess what, when he had enough money and was tracked everywhere he would go, he decided to build his own casino there, lost in the middle of Wisconsin. It’s not a big casino but he is making a lot of money out of it. Pretty fast, he became the king of that village. Everyone was scared of him and would obey whatever he was asking. He was living his best life: no police around, no competition. He was respected and admired.

As the town was in a valley and surrounded by quite a lot of woods, it was pretty often foggy, mostly in the morning and evening. My uncle had always liked nature so he would go for a walk in the forest every day. Atlantic City was a paradise for him; he had never been in such a green place. Before moving there, he was always living in big towns such as Atlanta, New York, San Francisco, etc. The best part is that Atlantic City is surrounded by mountains. The best hiding place! And nothing to do with San Francisco’s hills! Kyle didn’t mind the fog, he actually liked it. As he says: “Fog makes everything look scary and amazing at the same time.” For him, it’s just the sky saying hello to the ground. From the few contacts I have with him, he sent me pictures of the fogy forests and I agree with him, it looks wonderful. But I wouldn’t go for a walk in those conditions as he was doing. He was going on walks for hours, all by himself, with no backpack. He would just take a bottle of water and his phone. Not even a map. One day, he explained me that it was a game for him: walking in the forest until he got lost then finding his way back home by a different trail than the one he took to come. And the best of it: the view on the valley from the top of a mountain. I went there once and, trust me, it’s breathtaking! In conclusion, his only bad point was that he liked money and power too much. Otherwise, he was a really good man. He helped people, taught teenagers mathematics (because yes, my uncle went to Stanford University and is a very good mathematician) and cooked for some homeless person. Unfortunately, he was always asking for something in return. So, he had a personal driver, a secretary, a hairdresser, etc. After the crazy story that just happened to him, he became way nicer to people.

It happened on an evening; Kyle was coming back from his walk. It was foggy all over the forest and the town. He was walking on the main street, near the playground. Then, he heard some noises; something like a baby crying so he decided to get a closer look. He crossed the road and walked around in the playground. Nothing. So, he walked back to the road. As soon as he was on the street, the noise started again. My uncle is not the kind of person to get easily scared but he wanted to find out what was going on. He walked around the playground again. He didn’t find anything. When he went back to the street, he noticed an empty white car. The car wasn’t there when he first arrived at the playground and he didn’t hear it coming. He started to worry from that moment on. No one was in the street. Thus, me, that car literally appeared out of nowhere; no driver, no driving. So, Kyle took a closer look to the car and there, something weird happened: he saw someone looking at him in the car side mirror. At that particular moment, he got scared, the baby started crying again and the car started. My uncle couldn’t move, he couldn’t feel his legs anymore. He fainted. When he woke up, the car wasn’t there anymore and everything was quiet in the street. The night was falling so he ran back home and hid in his bed until the following day. During the day, he asked around if anyone knew anything about a baby crying and that kind of things. Only one old guy, from Equator, knew a legend about a baby killer, from his country. He told my uncle that it was a sign that death was near. Since then, Kyle came back to Florida. He is living with us from now on and he is haunted by this story. No one died yet but we are on our guards.

I’ll keep you guys updated on what’s happening here!
Hi everybody, I’m going to tell you about my last vacation.
As usual, three of us went to a cottage in the Ardennes. The street was empty because there’s only the cottage and another house that is rarely occupied. When we arrived, we saw that there was a new neighbour because the lights were on and to my knowledge this cottage wasn’t for sale the last time we came. So, we deducted that some people were there, but we didn’t care. Afterwards, we took the baggage, went into the chalet and we were finally ready to have fun.
Maxime and I went down in the cellar to turn the boiler on, but the door was open. We thought that we may have forgotten to close it the last time we came. We noticed that some garden tools were gone and footprints with mud were present on the floor. Max immediately phoned his father to get more information. When he got his dad on the phone, his dad said that we should not worry about it as it probably was the last tenants that were responsible of this. So, we turned the boiler on and got out of the cellar as fast as we could.
The first night was calm, there was just some music in the area because it was Raddadesh, a cult that is based not far from the cottage. But we never had any problems with them.
The next day, Jack and Max went to the forest at the back of the garden and they met the neighbour that was cutting some wood. When they told it to me, they also explained that this man had a scary look. It looked like he was in another world. Otherwise nothing to report: the evening went well and we drank a little.
During the evening, I went on the terrace to smoke a cigarette and I had noticed that there was a kind of red light far inside the forest and I called Max and Jack to tell them what I saw. When they came the light was gone. At this time, I thought it was a fire but I was certainly drunk.
After a good night of sleep, I decided to check if there were any traces of the fire in the forest because it seemed strange to me. After about 30 minutes of walk, I found nothing and I decided to retrace my steps. On my way back, I saw a clearing. In the center of it, there was a tree with an intriguing shape. I decided to take a picture of it. And when I approached, I saw a reddish trace on the side of the tree. At that moment, a shiver ran through my body and I decided to quickly return to the chalet. I didn't bother explaining what happened to Maxime and Jack. It was during the last evening that things went wrong. To enjoy it, we drank a lot, so much that I felt bad and I went out to get some fresh air around 1 a.m.. But I saw the fire again and I don’t know why but I decided to discover what it was. As I got closer, I heard music and I smelled a scent of burning. Suddenly, between two trees, I saw men with animal masks burning the tree-clearing. I was so terrified. I tried to run but I fell because of a rock and I remember nothing of what happened then. When I woke up, I was lying down at the entrance of the forest. I had a hellish headache but above all I had a severe pain in my whole left arm. I immediately realized that I had a hot iron mark that reminded me of the shape of the clearing tree. So, I decided to go back to the chalet and I saw a police car in the courtyard and when I was entered the house Maxime and Jack were relieved to see me again. They explained me they thought that I had been taken away. Moreover, the neighbour had also disappeared. Two months later, the neighbour was still missing and I still have some nightmares of men with masks.
