1
Hi, my name is Sarah.
2
I'm writing this email because something really strange happened to me.
3
I live in India and this happened about two years ago when I was 16.
4
I live with my parents and two older brothers.
5
In our neighborhood, there are only about 10 houses built in the same style, two-story houses.
6
My parents and I sleep on the first floor and my brothers sleep on the second.
7
So it was just like any other morning.
8
I woke up and my mom and older brother, Allie, were talking in another room.
9
They were loud, but I didn't really pay attention.
10
I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for school when my brother came into my room and jokingly said, Want to see a ghost?
11
Come here!
12
I was so confused and a little creeped out.
13
He walked to my parents' room and pointed to the window.
14
Look!
15
There was a huge road in front of our house
16
and I saw a man standing in the middle of it wearing a shawl It was winter
17
and the fog was thick outside making it hard to see
18
He was looking to the left where there were bushes
19
and dense trees It looked like a small forest My mom was terrified having never seen him in our neighborhood
20
But I thought he was waiting for someone We watched him for about 10 minutes
21
And what really gave me the creeps was that he just kept staring at the bushes without moving a muscle.
22
Then we shrugged and started getting ready for the day.
23
My older brother, Asad, used to always take me to college on his scooter.
24
And as we were leaving, I saw the man standing in the middle of the road, still facing the bushes.
25
My brother passed him and I watched him closely for a few seconds.
26
He was wearing white pajamas and a light brown kurta.
27
His shawl was off white and covered him from head to knee.
28
I could only see his eyes and when my eyes met his, a shiver ran through my body.
29
I could only see his eyes, but I could tell he was smiling and his smile seemed to be a wide grin.
30
I got goosebumps.
31
During the ride to college, I kept wondering, is he smiling at me or is he smiling at something in the bushes?
32
Once I got there, I quickly forgot about it and focused on my day.
33
I left the university around 3 p.m and rode home on a three-wheeler, a vehicle similar to a taxi.
34
I was on my phone the entire ride and as I neared home, I thought of the man.
35
I looked outside and saw the same man still standing there in the same position.
36
The thought of him standing there for eight hours in the winter without moving a muscle was mind-boggling.
37
I was horrified.
38
The driver was driving in the opposite direction, so I couldn't see his face, only his back.
39
I wondered if he was still smiling.
40
I went home, ate, and slept.
41
I woke up around 10pm, the time my dad usually gets home from work.
42
My mom and I were talking about the day, and I had completely forgotten about the man.
43
Then my dad arrived and told my mom he had been standing there since morning.
44
I ran to the window and sure enough he was there staring at the bushes not moving a muscle
45
Before coming home my dad went to the man
46
and asked him why he'd been standing there all day
47
But he didn't say anything We were all so confused as to why he'd been standing there all day
48
Especially in the winter
49
After dinner before bed my dad told us to lock all the doors
50
and windows He didn't usually say that so I figured it was about the man
51
I locked everything and double-checked to see if he was still there
52
and to my surprise he was We went to bed
53
and the next morning I was eating breakfast and watching TV
54
when I suddenly remembered the man I looked out the window
55
and he was gone He hasn't been seen since We were all horrified by it
56
but after a few days we all collectively forgot about it I asked countless questions like why was he standing there?
57
Why was he staring at the bushes?
58
Was there something in the bushes?
59
But we never got any answers and the man standing outside still remains a mystery.
60
It was a normal cool evening.
61
My mom and I were heading to Kohl's to buy some new clothes for me since I had outgrown my old ones.
62
We walked in and at first nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
63
At one point I grew bored of looking at clothes, so I told my mom I was going to explore the store on my own.
64
She nodded and told me to stay close.
65
As I wandered off, I noticed a woman.
66
She was dressed in all black with long black hair.
67
And she was staring right at me.
68
Her eyes were wide open.
69
Black eyeliner streaked down her face.
70
Her eyes were so wide it looked unnatural.
71
A wave of fear hit me.
72
I frantically looked around for my mom.
73
When I couldn't find her, panic started to set in.
74
Then, I turned back.
75
The woman was even closer, smiling.
76
That same unsettling, creepy smile.
77
I was so scared I couldn't even think straight.
78
I didn't have a phone, so there was no way to call my mom for help.
79
quickly, I darted into the clothing racks, trying to hide.
80
Then, a hand grabbed my shoulder.
81
I stifled a scream and spun around.
82
It was my mom.
83
Relief washed over me, even as she scolded me for running off, but her words barely registered.
84
My mind was locked on the woman.
85
The woman could still be out there, watching, waiting.
86
Then, my mom's tone shifted.
87
Her face grew more serious.
88
She asked if I had seen a woman with long black hair and wide eyes.
89
My heart skipped a beat.
90
She had just described the exact woman I'd seen.
91
I told her yes, that I had seen her and that I was terrified.
92
My mom nodded.
93
She quickly paid for our things and we left.
94
Nothing happened after that, but the image of her never left me.
95
Her eyes, her wide smile, even now, it still gives me chills.
96
My name is Zama and I'm from South Africa.
97
In August of 2024, something terrifying happened to us.
98
I live in a two-bedroom apartment in a block of flats with my nine-year-old daughter Coco.
99
One Sunday at 2.30am, we were fast asleep with all the lights off as we usually are.
100
Then I suddenly woke up to the sensation of someone reaching for my tablet right beside me.
101
At first I thought it was my daughter Coco.
102
She often grabs the tablet when she can't sleep.
103
But then I realized something was very wrong.
104
There was an unknown man in our apartment.
105
I'm a light sleeper, especially where my daughter is concerned.
106
So I screamed as loud as I could and grabbed him.
107
I think my sudden reaction made him freeze for a moment.
108
He already had my iPhone in his hand, the one Coco had been using earlier that evening.
109
We started fighting and as we struggled, we both fell on top of my daughter who was still asleep.
110
I was terrified, thinking if he overpowered me, he'd go for her next.
111
I pushed him out of my room and into the living room.
112
I was just trying to get him out.
113
In a panic, I grabbed pots and pans and threw them at him, anything I could find.
114
Finally, he backed away, opened the door and ran out.
115
I was in shock, thinking the door must have been unlocked, but later discovered he had crept in through the bathroom window.
116
We live on the second floor and I never thought to lock that window.
117
I assumed it was safe.
118
He was skinny enough to step on the balcony rails and squeeze through the burglar guards.
119
Once inside, he unlocked the front door so he could escape quickly if he needed to.
120
Despite my screams, none of my neighbors came to help.
121
They called later to say they'd heard something, but hadn't come down.
122
I was devastated, but at least I managed to cancel my bank cards on Apple Pay before any payments went through.
123
We don't live in that apartment anymore.
124
We're okay, but we're scared of living alone for now.
125
A few days later, we found out there was a group of thieves targeting homes in our area.
126
I was the only person who woke up during the break-in.
127
Others lost much more valuable items.
128
Two days after our incident, one of the thieves was found dead in the morning.
129
I don't know whether it was the same man who entered our apartment, and honestly, I don't much care.
130
They chose that life.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
