1
I don't use my real name online. For privacy.
2
You understand.
3
So, let's just say my name is Anna.
4
I'm from Timišrora, Romania.
5
For years, I've always celebrated New Year's Eve by traveling to different parties in different cities across the country.
6
Four years ago, I was on a train with my boyfriend at the time.
7
I'll call him Daniel, heading to a party and Deva.
8
It was a cold, foggy evening, the kind where the light from the train windows barely touches the dark outside.
9
The carriage was old, smelling of rusted metal and stale cigarettes.
10
We found our seats, settled in, and I suggested we go smoke at the end of the train.
11
As we walked down the narrow, rattling hallway, we saw a woman standing at the far end.
12
She was leaning against the wall near the accordion door that leads to the next car.
13
Her head tilted slightly upward, as if listening to something only she could hear.
14
At first, I didn't pay much attention.
15
People get high on trains, especially around the holidays.
16
But something was off.
17
She wasn't swaying or stumbling.
18
She was completely still.
19
Her arms hung straight down at her sides, like she'd been sewn there.
20
Her coat was torn at the sleeve, and her hair was matted, dark with grease.
21
She stared at us, not a glance, a stare.
22
Her eyes didn't blink.
23
They just followed us as we walked past, her head turning slowly on her neck like a doll's.
24
We finished smoking and returned to our compartment, but she kept passing by our door, slowly.
25
Each time, she would stop for few seconds standing in the doorway her
26
eyes fixed on me not on daniel only me then she'd
27
continue down the corridor only to return a minute later the
28
third time she passed i noticed her lips were moving silently no sound just tiny rapid movements as
29
if she were reciting something under her breath i began to feel uneasy the kind of unease
30
that starts in your chest and crawls into your throat.
31
About half an hour into the ride, she came into our compartment without asking.
32
She sat down directly across from me.
33
The moment she entered, the air changed.
34
It became thick, heavy, like trying to breathe through wet wool.
35
I felt my lungs strain.
36
A sour, sweet smell followed her, something like rotting flowers and old coins.
37
She leaned forward.
38
Her eyes were not just dark they were wrong the irises seemed too large swallowing the whites
39
and the pupils were fixed unresponsive to the dim light above
40
she asked me the time i told her then she asked
41
how many hours until deva about one hour i said she
42
smiled it was a small slow smile like a crack forming
43
on ice then she said good that's enough time she stood up turned to the window
44
and began mumbling to herself I couldn't make out the words
45
but the rhythm was strange not like speech
46
but like a chant then she left for the next hour she kept returning every 10
47
or 15 minutes she would appear in the doorway, stop, and stare at me.
48
Each time she came, the air would grow thick again.
49
My heart would race.
50
Daniel tried to reassure me.
51
She's just drunk, Anna.
52
Ignore her.
53
But I could see his hands trembling as he scrolled through his phone.
54
Then came the moment I will never forget.
55
I was sitting with my back to the door, facing Daniel.
56
I felt her presence before I saw her.
57
A sudden drop in temperature, a tightening in my chest.
58
I knew she was standing in the doorway behind me, staring.
59
I didn't turn around.
60
Instead, for reasons I still can't fully explain, I began to pray.
61
I'm not religious, and I don't go to church.
62
But something ancient and frightened in me took over, and I silently prayed to God, to my grandmother, to anyone listening.
63
Please protect me.
64
Please close the door.
65
Please make her leave.
66
I kept my eyes shut as I whispered under my breath.
67
I felt Daniel's hand tap my shoulder.
68
Anna, he said, his voice strange.
69
You need to look.
70
When I turned, she was contorting.
71
Her spine bent backward at an angle that should have broken it.
72
Her arms twisted, her fingers curled into claws, and her mouth opened wide, too wide, as if her jaw had unhinged.
73
No sound came out, but her eyes were locked on mine, and in that moment, I understood.
74
She wasn't just a troubled woman.
75
Something else was inside her, something that had noticed me.
76
Then, as suddenly as it started, she stopped.
77
She straightened up, smoothed her torn coat, and sat down across from me again.
78
She was calm now, almost friendly.
79
She looked at me with something like pity and said, I performed witchcraft on a girl who slept with my husband, but the curse went wrong.
80
She paused, then she leaned closer, lowering her voice to a whisper.
81
You have a kind energy, Anna.
82
I can see it.
83
The curse needs a new vessel, just for a few hours.
84
If you let me touch your forehead, it will leave me and pass into you.
85
You won't feel a thing, and then I'll be free.
86
Please, I just want to be normal again help me.
87
I froze.
88
I had never told her my name.
89
Daniel didn't seem to hear her whisper.
90
He only heard the part about witchcraft and laughed nervously.
91
But I heard every word, and something inside me screamed, do not let her touch you.
92
I smiled politely and said, I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
93
You should sit elsewhere.
94
Her face didn't change, but her eyes, those terrible, dark eyes flashed with something cold.
95
She stared at me for a long moment, then stood up, walked to the door, and turned back one last time.
96
You were supposed to be the one, she said softly.
97
Then she left.
98
I didn't see her again that night, not when we arrived in Deva, not on the platform, not in the crowd.
99
We got off the train in the freezing cold, and Daniel wanted to go straight to the party.
100
But I couldn't shake the feeling that something had followed me off that train.
101
For weeks afterward, I had nightmares of her standing at the foot of my bed, mouthing silent words.
102
I stopped sleeping with the lights off.
103
I started wearing a small cross, not for faith, but for protection.
104
That was four years ago.
105
I still think about what would have happened if I had let her touch me.
106
I don't believe in the supernatural.
107
Never have.
108
There's probably a rational explanation for all of it, but I'm glad she didn't touch me.
109
Whatever she was, whatever was wrong with her, I'm glad I kept that distance.
110
I don't know, but I'll never forget the way she smiled when she said my name.
111
A name I never told her.
112
I don't travel by train anymore.
113
Not on New Year's Eve.
114
Not ever.
115
me and my brother wanted to go fishing
116
so we asked my dad to drive us out to this bridge in the countryside
117
that we often went to it's about four miles away on a lonely country road surrounded by nothing but forest
118
and fields with a few farmhouses scattered around not many cars pass by my dad dropped us off
119
and told us he would pick us up at sunset
120
which was about 45 minutes away
121
because he had to pick up my youngest brother from the park and bring him home
122
it was normal for him to drop us off at fishing spots since we both had phones
123
and it was only a few minutes away it was only
124
meant to be a quick fishing trip he drove off back to our small town
125
and me and my brother started fishing i decided to leave the road
126
and fish along the riverbank i had to walk through some private property
127
but i thought it wasn't a big deal as i was
128
only fishing on the edge of the water for a little bit.
129
I casted for a while, only getting one bite and getting my lure stuck on a branch a few times.
130
I decided to leave my spot and walk a little further downstream.
131
My brother was still on the bridge.
132
As I was fishing, I heard a loud old truck in the distance and thought nothing of it.
133
It started getting darker out, but twilight was the perfect time to catch some pike soon
134
later my brother who was 13 called out my name i asked what was wrong reeling in my line
135
and he replied this truck is getting closer i brushed it
136
off knowing it wasn't a big deal probably some farmer
137
or something i thought a little more
138
and knew what he was talking about the truck i had
139
heard before hadn't passed us yet it had been a few minutes since i heard the truck coming
140
and he should have been long gone by now i'll admit
141
i get a little nervous from time to time over simple things
142
but i try to keep my cool
143
and reason it could have been guy with a flat tire
144
but my brother said it was getting closer so it wasn't
145
that he called out my name again this time more urgently He's coming closer!
146
His voice on the edge of tears.
147
He usually doesn't act like this.
148
He's usually the carefree one, and I'm always alert.
149
I told him to come to me and get out of the road.
150
I called my dad on my phone immediately.
151
I wasn't going to take any chances, especially in the middle of nowhere.
152
My phone was only on 7%, so I knew I needed to hurry.
153
My dad picked up after a few rings.
154
The truck still rumbled in the distance, slowly getting louder as my brother approached me deeper in the forest.
155
I told my dad what was happening, trying to sound more informative than frightened.
156
He told me it was probably some farmer checking out the kids
157
that were trespassing on his property and that we should get back to the road and fish there.
158
I thought this sounded reasonable and told my brother to head back.
159
He refused and stayed by the riverbank.
160
As I approached the roadside, I saw the old red pickup truck parked on the side of the road, but something seemed off.
161
The car had come from the east and was facing east.
162
That meant he had pulled a U -turn and was planning on driving back the way he'd come.
163
Him slowly getting closer was probably him trying to see where my brother was walking to in the forest
164
which was around a patch of trees.
165
I climbed the ditch to get back on the road and that's when I saw him.
166
A thin, balding man with a short goatee.
167
He looked very out of place.
168
Not a farmer at all, I thought.
169
He was about 50 years old or so, leaning on the driver's side door with his hands and his black sweatshirt pockets and his hood up.
170
I was startled and didn't stare long, but I could see him staring at me without turning his head.
171
What could he possibly be doing out here?
172
I thought.
173
There was no reasonable explanation that this man would be standing out here at dusk in the middle of nowhere.
174
If he wanted us off of his property, he would have told us by now.
175
I tried to ignore him and started fishing again while I was thinking about what I would do.
176
I called my dad again and he quickly answered.
177
Dad, this guy's watching us.
178
Please come pick us up now.
179
I said urgently.
180
He tried coming up with some other explanation but I insisted on him coming.
181
He told me he was on his way.
182
I kept the phone up to my ear to make it seem like I wasn't as alone as I was.
183
It was running out of battery, but my dad was on his way.
184
It was about an eight -minute car ride from my house.
185
I was getting even more nervous because not a single other car had passed since the truck came.
186
We were alone.
187
My brother emerged from his hiding spot, look at the truck, and then me.
188
The man was now sitting in the driver's seat with his hands on the wheel but still parked.
189
I told my brother to grab my tackle bag and get over here.
190
I waved him over and he handed me the bag, and I quickly took out my fillet knife.
191
It was something.
192
I slowly placed it in my pocket, opposite the side of the truck not to be noticed, just in case, I told myself.
193
As I did this, the truck shifted gears, pulled another U -turn to face the way he was originally heading, and then sped off.
194
My dad arrived soon later, just as I had gotten dark
195
and after telling him the story he seemed to agree with me that we had dodged a bullet.
196
Looking back now, I can't think of any other reason the man would have acted like this, other than a kidnapping or a robbery of some kind.
197
He didn't look friendly at all, and had been watching my brother and the eye for about 10 minutes total.
198
He must have seen my brother alone on the bridge and wanted to get him.
199
He had known I was in the woods, and when I came out he must have gotten nervous, and went more when I pulled out a knife.
200
My brother must have looked like an easy target for him.
201
I'm glad I was there to protect him, and I can't help but think of how much worse things would have been
202
if it were just him alone on that bridge.
203
What made things even more strange was
204
that the truck had come from the east and pulled a U -turn to face us, but as he was leaving,
205
he pulled another U -turn and continued east instead of west, which meant he had only turned around to look at us
206
and possibly take us back the way he came my friend
207
and i were in our second year of uni
208
so we knew the city well
209
and went out quite frequently we lived together with three other girls in a nice area so even
210
when we came back late at night after a night out
211
we felt quite safe one night all of our housemates were out in the club it was a student night
212
so everyone knew each other as we all went to the same place every week we saw our other friends
213
and people we knew and was dancing in a big group whilst dancing i made eye contact with a boy
214
he came over and started dancing with me and his friend came over and started dancing with my friend
215
we've never seen them before which was strange
216
because only uni students went to that club
217
and the same people would go every week after five minutes of dancing we all went over to the bar
218
and they bought us drinks we then went to the smoking
219
area to talk as we couldn't hear each other over the
220
music after talking for around 15 minutes in the smoking area
221
we all agreed to go back to our house as we were all quite drunk
222
and didn't want to stay out anymore we got a taxi back two hours, add a few more drinks and listen to some music.
223
They said they didn't go to uni and was just visiting the city for the weekend, but were going home on Sunday as they had work on Monday.
224
After a while, my friend and I got tired and asked them to leave, explaining that we had work in the morning.
225
They hesitated and then said no. My friend and I looked at each other with a confused expression.
226
Then they started laughing and got up and put their shoes on
227
and were walking out the door they joked saying we'll be
228
back soon we thought nothing of it at the time as everyone was drunk
229
so we just assumed they were joking on monday we were walking back from uni
230
and saw them walking on the other side of the street
231
we were really confused as they didn't go to uni
232
and said they had work on monday we waved at them but they just stared at us and didn't wave back.
233
We thought it was really weird, but just thought that maybe their train was canceled on Sunday, so they were still there on the Monday.
234
We went home and forgot about it and continued with our normal evening.
235
We had dinner, did some uni work, and just chilled with our other housemates in the living room.
236
Our other housemates all went out that night, but my friend and I didn't go, as we had to be up early the next day, as we had an exam in the morning.
237
We were laying in bed watching a show on Netflix.
238
My room faced the road, so we could clearly see the street and cars passing by.
239
I always slept with my window open because it got really hot at night.
240
So I opened the curtains to open the window.
241
When I opened my curtains, I saw the two boys just standing there on the other side of the road, staring at my window.
242
I quickly closed the curtains and told my friend that I saw them standing there.
243
She laughed at me
244
but the expression on my face made her stop laughing she opened the curtains
245
and saw them just stood there they then gave her a creepy grin she quickly shut the curtains
246
and we rang our other housemates but they were out
247
so they didn't answer we tried to forget about it
248
and continued watching the show we then heard a loud bang
249
on the door we started to panic as we were alone
250
in the house our front door had a glass window on it
251
which was already broken
252
and was held together by duct tape we had asked the landlord to fix it several times
253
but he never had we then heard the glass break from the front door
254
and our heart started racing we rushed to lock the bedroom door
255
and hid in the cupboard behind the bed we were on the top floor
256
so we heard them downstairs screaming We're coming to find you.
257
We heard things being smashed downstairs and we quickly rang the police.
258
Luckily, the police station was only a two -minute drive from our house.
259
We heard the boys come upstairs and heard loud banging on our door and they were both shouting, open the door.
260
We then started to cry, but then luckily heard the police sirens from the window.
261
We heard them running down the stairs.
262
We didn't leave the cupboard
263
and we were hugging each other whilst crying after 20 minutes we heard knocking again
264
and were too scared to move we didn't say anything
265
and just sat there still but then we heard the police radios
266
so we got up and opened the door and the police explained
267
that they saw them running out
268
and as we were on the main road they were able to see them
269
and arrest them we saw them in the car outside from the window
270
and the next morning the landlord came and fitted a brand new door since
271
that day we have never invited anyone else from a club
272
round our house we dread to think what would have happened
273
if the police station wasn't a two minute drive away and
274
if they hadn't reached there when they did we later found out
275
that the two boys were never from the city
276
or even any cities near we found out
277
that they were part of a human trafficking gang that particularly exploited uni girls and usually targeted girls that lived alone.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
