The Shadow Behind the Door
👻 The Story Begins
1. A new house… a new start… or a new nightmare?
Alishah had recently moved into a new house with her parents.
It was a two-story home, thick trees outside, silence inside, and a long, dim corridor.
Her room was at the very end of the upper floor.
The door opened outward — facing a dark gallery filled with shadows.
The first two nights passed peacefully…
But on the third night, something happened that marked her heart with fear forever.
2. The First Glimpse of the Shadow
It was around 1:40 AM.
Faint sounds of rain echoed through the room.
Alishah suddenly woke up —
as if someone was staring directly at her.
Slowly, she looked toward the door.
The door was closed, but…
From the gap beneath it, she saw a dark shadow,
as if someone was standing right behind the door.
She quickly gathered courage and opened it.
The corridor —
completely empty.
She convinced herself it was just her imagination.
But it was only the beginning.
3. Every Night, the Shadow Came Closer
The next night…
Same time…
Same dark shadow…
But this time, it was standing a little farther back from the door.
The third night, it was even farther… almost like it had walked there.
It felt as if the shadow
was slowly moving down the corridor
and approaching her door night after night.
Alishah told her parents, but they dismissed it as nightmares.
They didn’t know…
It wasn’t a dream.
It was real.
4. Footsteps in the Dark — Fear at Its Peak
By the sixth night…
The shadow wasn’t just standing — it was moving.
Soft footsteps echoed through the corridor:
Thuk… thuk… thuk…
The shadow stopped right in front of her door.
Through the gap at the bottom,
she could feel the shadow breathing.
Her heartbeat raced.
She wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
5. The Old Woman’s Warning
The next day, an old woman from the neighborhood approached Alishah’s mother.
She said:
“Another girl lived in this house before…
She also said someone stands behind her door at night.
One night, she opened the door…
and she was never seen again.”
Everyone was shaken.
Alishah finally confessed everything she had seen.
The family decided to stay awake together that night.
6. The Final Night — When the Shadow Tried to Break In
At exactly 1:40 AM…
A loud banging began on the door:
Bang… bang… bang…
The entire door trembled.
Through the bottom gap, dark fingers tried to reach inside.
The shadow wasn’t just standing anymore…
It was trying to enter the room.
Alishah screamed.
Her parents ran upstairs immediately.
The moment they opened the door—
The shadow rushed backward
and disappeared into the darkness of the corridor.
But on the floor, deep black footprints were left behind…
footprints that suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway.
🕯️ What Was the Shadow?
Later, they learned that the previous owner’s daughter had mysteriously disappeared.
Some believed a dark entity took her away from the corridor.
Others said… she became a shadow herself.
No one truly knows the truth.
But one thing is certain:
The shadow still walks that hallway…
waiting for someone new…
someone who dares to open the door.
