The Beginning

“This happened Around 1960s when I was just 15-16 years old. But I still remember this particular event in my life as clear as day. This left us with an imprint on our lives which would never be able to forget. Whenever I remember this event It gives me chills down my spine.

Hi, My name is Kurt I used to live with my family of 3 which is my mother, father and me. We were just a happy living nuclear family just living one of the simplest lives anyone could imagine. We were not that rich but we had enough money. We had enough money to fulfill our desires but not to the point where we could do charity work. This event left an imprint on our lives that could never be forgotten by anyone of us.

So my Father had a transfer due to work responsibilities. So within a month we had to shift to the other town. My friends since childhood came to give me the send-off they gave me some parting gifts and I was teary eyed as well. So the next month we took off towards the journey of the unknown. We didn't knew what surprises whether good or bad are kept ahead of us on this journey.

We reached the house which my mother and father had finalized for us to live and it was an upgrade from our previous house. It looked gorgeous it was surrounded by lush greenery. There was this one tree in particular which had all the leaves gone from and it gave me a little bit of creepy feeling so I decided in my mind that I would never play around that tree anytime of the day.

There was also one of my favorite things which I wished I had in previous house that was the swing there were two of them placed in that lush greenery. I wished my friends would be able to see it as we would have had so much fun playing in it and playing other sports in such a huge lush with greenery like area.

The first week went by just normally as there was nothing out of the ordinary present in the house. The second week is when my mother started sensing that something was off putting in this house as when she used to work in her kitchen. She would hear someone would whisper in her ears and she turns around to her shock and surprise there was no one there. Than all of sudden we all started noticing the temperatures suddenly plummeting down as the house became freezingly cold and we had to turn on the heaters and this happened when it was summer ☀️.

Than there was that rancid smell coming from one of the cupboards of my parents bedroom they searched the cupboard but they couldn't find anything inside . It would smell like rotting meat 🍖. "
