1
My name is Jessica.
2
Five years ago when I was 12 years old, something happened that changed my family's life forever.
3
To this day, no one has found an answer.
4
It started out at my aunt's house.
5
We were all invited over.
6
Their old, sprawling home sat in one of the city's oldest neighborhoods.
7
It was a two -story house with a large backyard, countless rooms, and a dark basement that none of the kids dared to enter.
8
The house smelled of old wood and dampness.
9
The windows were always half open,
10
and the curtains kept the rooms dim even and chatting.
11
The kids were free to do whatever we wanted.
12
My aunt's daughter, Angela, and my uncle's daughter, Alice were both eight years old and completely obsessed with hide and seek.
13
They started playing right after lunch.
14
At first, Alice hid while Angela searched.
15
Angela was surprisingly good at finding people and every time Alice thought she found the perfect hiding spot, Angela would discover her within minutes.
16
Eventually, it was Angela's turn to hide.
17
Before running off, she laughed and told Alice, "This time, you won't find me." Alice closed her eyes and began counting to 30.
18
The moment she started counting, Angela ran out of the room.
19
I was sitting on the couch watching a movie, but every now and then, I glanced over at them.
20
30 seconds passed.
21
Alice opened her eyes and started searching.
22
She checked the living room, the kitchen, the bedrooms, the closets, And then she went upstairs.
23
I could hear her footsteps echoing across the old wooden floorboards.
24
Every few minutes she would shout, Angela!
25
I found you!
26
But no answer ever came.
27
30 minutes passed.
28
Alice finally came downstairs.
29
Her face was red and she was sweating.
30
She walked up to Angela's mom and said in a shaky voice: "Mom?" I can't find Angela.
31
I looked everywhere.
32
Angela's mother laughed.
33
The adults were still busy talking and didn't think much of it.
34
Another 30 minutes passed.
35
Alice was starting to cry.
36
Now some of the adults got up to help.
37
They opened every door, looked under beds, checked closets, searched the backyard, the garage, everywhere.
38
There was no sign of Angela.
39
Then it was time for everyone to leave.
40
Angela's father stood up and called out loudly.
41
"Angela, sweetheart, come out.
42
We're leaving now." The house fell silent.
43
No answer.
44
That was the moment everyone realized something was seriously wrong.
45
The search became frantic.
46
Every room was checked again.
47
Every closet, every cabinet, every possible hiding place.
48
They even unlocked and searched the basement.
49
A place that was normally off limits.
50
Nothing.
51
No sounds, no footprints, no toys, no clothing.
52
No sign that Angela had ever been there.
53
The police were called.
54
Tracking dogs were brought in.
55
They searched the entire neighborhood.
56
Officers combed through nearby streets, yards, and abandoned buildings.
57
Local news stations even covered the disappearance, but no clues were ever found.
58
It was as if Angela had simply vanished the moment she went to hide.
59
Five years have passed.
60
Angela her voice calling to me from somewhere dark a closet.
61
The basement.
62
Sometimes from behind a closed door.
63
She always says the same thing.
64
"Find me." But whenever I reach her and pull the door open, I only see a shadow and then it fades away.
65
Alice barely speaks anymore.
66
Angela's mother still bakes a birthday cake every year, and lights candles for her daughter.
67
She never misses a birthday.
68
My aunt's house has never felt the same since that day.
69
Most people simply refer to it as the incident.
70
But those of us who were there know something about that day felt terribly wrong.
71
Sometimes I catch myself wondering if Angela was never really found because she never left.
72
Maybe she's still hiding somewhere inside that old house.
73
And maybe she doesn't want to be found anymore.
74
Hello, Wonsie.
75
I've always loved scary stories, but I never imagined I would experience something like that myself.
76
It happened about 12 months ago, and just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
77
That day was like any other, at least that's what I thought at the time.
78
My parents and older brothers had gone to work, and I was home with my two younger sisters.
79
They were playing with toys in another room.
80
chilling atmosphere while watching your horror videos.
81
When I suddenly heard something, it was a whisper.
82
It was faint, but I could hear it clearly.
83
Come here, come here.
84
At first I thought I'd misheard, but then I heard the sound again.
85
Soft, almost broken.
86
It sounded like the voice of someone who hadn't spoken for a long time.
87
continued playing as if nothing had happened.
88
But I jumped up, my heart pounding, and went upstairs.
89
Our kitchen was upstairs.
90
The moment I stepped onto the last step, I heard the sound of something being chewed.
91
It was a very loud sound.
92
And then I saw her.
93
A woman.
94
No, she was closer to a shadow of an open refrigerator,
95
eating raw meat with her bare hands.
96
Blood was dripping from her mouth, and she turned around and looked at me.
97
Her eyes were cold, hazy blue, as if they'd seen too much.
98
Blood stained her lips, and she wore a chilling smile.
99
It was a twisted, terrifying smile.
100
My siblings ran toward me crying.
101
Then everything went dark.
102
I had lost consciousness.
103
Our neighbor heard the scream and ran into the house.
104
He saw the woman too.
105
She was staring at us with a knife in her hand, her mouth still covered in blood.
106
The police arrived soon and she was arrested.
107
We later found out she was a mentally unstable homeless person who had entered through an
108
So engrossed in scary stories that I didn't even realize someone had broken the house.
109
But what was the most horrific part?
110
Even now, when I close my eyes, that woman comes to mind. That face.
111
Those empty eyes.
112
That blood -stained smile.
113
This happened one summer, about two years ago.
114
I had just graduated from college, and I was on my way to a friend's place to drink and party.
115
As I drove along the highway, the sky grew dark before I realized it, so I pressed down on the gas, hoping to get there faster.
116
At the same time, I was buzzing with excitement, thinking about all the fun my friend and I were going to have that night.
117
Before I knew it, the moonlight was illuminating the road, and dense forests stretched out on both sides.
118
There were hardly any cars around.
119
When I saw a sign for a rest area, I decided to pull in and grab a quick snack.
120
The moment I stepped out of my car, something caught my eye.
121
A man was standing nearby, staring at me.
122
I froze for a second, but tried my best to act casual.
123
He stood in a dark corner, his face hidden behind thick black hair.
124
In his hand, he held something that looked like a metal pipe.
125
He lifted it to his mouth like a microphone and began humming a strange tune I couldn't quite make out.
126
Assuming he was just some weirdo, I hurried past him and headed toward the convenience store.
127
Even after I reached the entrance and glanced back, He was still standing there, watching me.
128
As I entered the store, I noticed the clerk was nowhere to be seen.
129
Instead, I could hear someone humming softly.
130
somewhere between the aisles.
131
By that point, I knew something felt wrong.
132
I quickly grabbed an energy drink and headed for the exit.
133
Then, A loud bang slammed against the glass door behind me.
134
I spun around.
135
The man from outside was opening the door and stepping into the store.
136
Under the bright lights, I could finally see him clearly.
137
He was tall and his hands were covered in scars.
138
Slowly, he started walking toward me, gripping the metal pipe.
139
Then he spoke.
140
"Your screams will make our song complete." "We needed another instrument." And then you showed up.
141
As he stared at me, his eyes moved up and down my body, sizing me up.
142
And as they did, his humming grew louder.
143
The clerk was still nowhere to be seen.
144
Meanwhile, the person hidden somewhere between the shelves continued humming as well.
145
The two sounds blended together in a disturbingly perfect harmony.
146
My heart nearly stopped.
147
Then it began pounding so hard, I could hear it in my ears.
148
The man's footsteps seemed almost rhythmic, like he was moving to the beat of some invisible song.
149
Then he pulled out his phone.
150
He tapped something on the screen.
151
and held it up for me to see.
152
A voice recorder app was running.
153
Next.
154
He set the phone down on a nearby shelf.
155
Then he gripped the metal pipe with both hands and took a stance like he was preparing to swing it.
156
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
157
I ran.
158
I bolted for the door and sprinted out of the store.
159
Seconds later, he came charging after me.
160
I jumped into my car, started the engine, and slammed my foot on the gas pedal.
161
As I sped away, I saw him climb into a truck that had been parked in a dark corner of the lot.
162
Then he came after me.
163
The truck raced onto the highway behind me.
164
As he drove, he leaned his head out the driver's side window and screamed in an impossibly high -pitched voice.
165
My hands shook violently on the steering wheel, but I kept driving as fast as I could.
166
Eventually, the truck grew smaller and smaller in my rearview mirror.
167
Then it disappeared completely.
168
It took a long time for the shaking to stop.
169
The entire drive afterward felt unreal.
170
Thoughts poured through my head non -stop.
171
The strangest part was that I never in that store.
172
I still don't know whether the person humming between the shelves was actually a clerk or someone else entirely.
173
It was well past midnight when I finally arrived at my friend's house.
174
Still shaken and half dazed, I told him everything that happened.
175
He was horrified.
176
He told me I should call the police immediately.
177
But by then, I felt like it was already too late.
178
Since that night, the man has appeared in my dreams from time to time.
179
In those dreams, he always catches me, and he always beats me.
180
I wake up every time, fighting the urge to be in my life to scream, and the tune he was humming, it never really left me.
181
Even now, I can still hear it playing over and over in my head, like a song that refuses to end.
182
Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
