Plot twist!
Cat

A few months ago, my parents moved to a
small village and I had to attend a new
school. The house next door to ours was
owned by a crazy old woman. She spent her
days sitting all alone on a bench in front of
the house and muttering to herself under her
breath.

One day, when I was walking by, I noticed that
she seemed to be petting something that was
sitting in her lap. At first, I thought it was a
cat, but when I took a closer look, I realized
there was nothing there. She was just holding
her hand above her knees and stroking thin
air.
Perhaps she had a pet cat or a dog once, I
thought, and it died and in her disordered
mind, she thinks it’s still there. I felt sorry for
the old woman and with a sigh, I continued on
my way.

Then, one night, when I was sleeping soundly
in my bed, something strange happened. I
woke up to feel something hairy lying by my
side. It gave me a fright and I jumped off the
bed. Just then, I noticed a shadow moving out
of the corner of my eye. It went across the
floor and out the door.
I was startled, but when I calmed down, I
realized it was probably just some stray cat or
dog that had wandered into the house.
That was when I happened to glance out my
bedroom wndow and saw the crazy old woman
next door. She was standing on the sidewalk,
under the street light. Her long, grey hair was
hanging loose and fluttering in the wind. Her
eyes were wide and she was looking directly at
me.

I was so scared that I jumped back from the
window. Then, the woman turned and went
back inside her house.
It took me a long time to calm down, but
eventually, I went back to bed. As I was
drifting off to sleep, I remembered something
that struck me as odd. When I saw the
shadow of the stray cat or dog running out of
my room… it didn’t really seem as if it was
running… it seemed more like it was rolling
across the floor to the door.

The next morning, when I woke up, I got
dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
On my way to school that morning, I passed
by the old woman’s house again. As usual,
she was sitting there on the bench, muttering
to herself and stroking something invisible in
her lap.
When I passed by, I distinctly heard her say,
“What were you doing? Why did you run away
from me last night? Look how you scared that
girl!”
I got a queasy feeling in the pit of my
stomach and it made me shiver. It was all I
could do not to start running.
At school, I decided to ask my friends about
the old woman. No one really knew anything,
except that she had been released from a
mental hospital about ten years ago. They
said she had a history of mental problems and
that was why everyone kept away from her.
Since her release, all she did was sit all day
on the bench outside her home.
A few days later, mhy father struck up a
conversation with an old man who had lived
in the village all his life. When my father
asked him about the old woman, he had a
very chilling story to tell.
He said that the old woman had spent over 30
years of her life in a mental institution. When
she was young, she had been married and she
and her husband had lived together in the
same house.

According to him, she suspected for years that
her husband was cheating on her, but he
always denied it. Then, one night, she caught
him with another woman. She hacked him to
death with an axe and cut off his head.
When the police came, she was sitting on the
bench in front of her house with an insane
grin on her face. The severed head of her
husband was in her lap and she was talking to
it and stroking it gently.

Sedih..

Mole

There was a Chinese girl named Ning who had
a recurring dream. Every night, in her dreams,
she would see a handsome boy. The boy
would always beckon to her and say “Come
on. Come to me. I’m waiting for you.”
The more she saw him, the more she fell in
love with him. She came to believe he was her
soulmate. Finally, she couldn’t take it
anymore and asked him, “Who are you? Where
are you? How can I find you?”
“Tomorrow at 12:00,” the boy said. “At the
entrance to the park. Come to me. You will
recognize me by the mole on my chin.”
Then, Ning woke up. Her heart was filled with
yearning and she decided that she couldn’t
pass up this chance to find her true love. She
hurried to her friend’s house and told her all
about the dream. She begged her friend to go
with her.

At 11:55, the two girls were waiting at the
entrance to the park. They stared at every boy
who walked past and every car that whizzed
by, hoping to see the boy with the mole.
The weather was hot and Ning said to her
friend, “While we’re waiting, I’ll buy us both an
ice cream. Wait here.”
Ning hurried across the street to the shop, but
as she was crossing, she forgot to look both
ways. A car came out of nowhere and
ploughed into her. Her friend watched in
horror as Ning was crushed under the wheels.
The friend rushed over and knelt down beside
Ning’s mangled body. She was lying in a pool
of blood, gasping for air. The driver of the car
got out to help and the friend noticed that he
was driving a hearse.

Inside, a dead body lay in a glass coffin…
It was a teenage boy with a mole on his chin.
As the friend cradled Ning’s head in her arms,
she looked at her watch. The time was exactly
12:00. Ning took one last breath, her heart
stopped beating and she died.

1. Curse
I found an ancient book on black magic. It
explains how to put a curse on someone. This
is what is written in the instructions:
“If you follow these steps exactly, the curse
will be place on the person of your choosing.
However, if you make even one small mistake,
the curse will be placed on you instead, so be
careful. Do you still wish to proceed?”
Of course I do. I have an enemy. There is
someone who I hate with all my heart.
Someone I wish would die horribly. I want to
place a curse on this person. That’s why I
searched for this book of black magic. I want
this curse to work, so I will follow the steps
exactly.
“Step 1: Close your eyes and imagine the face
of your enemy.”
That’s simple. I couldn’t forget this person’s
face even if I wanted to. OK, what’s next?
Let’s see…
“Step 2: Imagine the curse you want to place
on your enemy and what it will do to them.”
I want this person to suffer the worst kind of
pain imaginable. I want them to be suffering
so much that they wish they are dead. Alright,
what’s the next step?
“Step 3: Open your eyes.”
2. Bathroom
I don’t like using the bathroom at night. I
don’t know why, but I have the strangest
feeling it’s haunted. My wife says I’m just
being silly, but gives me an unsettling feeling.
Last night, I woke up around 3 AM and
noticed that the lights were on in the
bathroom. I cautiously opened the door and
went inside. I was helf-expecting to see some
kind of hideous ghost or have some monstrous
creature pounce on me, but nothing happened.
The bathroom was empty. I turned off the
lights, unlocked the door and went back to
bed. In the morning, my wife told me she must
have forgotten to turn the lights off.
3. Mountain Climbers
There was a group of 8 college students who
all belonged to the mountain climbing club.
One day, during the Winter, they decided to
climb the tallest mountain in the area. During
the ascent, the weather took a turn for the
worse. They ran into trouble and were
stranded near the top for two weeks.
Eventually, a rescue team managed to reach
them. There were only 7 survivors. They were
airlifted to a nearby hospital. After a few days,
6 of them made a full recovery, but the
seventh survivor was so traumatized by the
experience that he lost his mind and was put
in a mental hospital.
The police questioned the remaining 6 about
what happened during the two weeks they
were stranded on the mountain. They asked
what happened to the missing climber.
“He just wandered off and never came back,”
they said. The police questioned each of the 6
survivors and they all told the same story.
Then, they went to the mental hospital to
question the 7th survivor, but they couldn’t
get any sense out of him. When they asked
him what happened to the missing climber, he
just kept banging his head against the padded
walls and repeating over and over, “8… 8… 8…”
4. Phone
I witnessed a horrible accident today. I wanted
to cross the street and was waiting for the
light to turn green when a man bumped into
me. He didn’t even say sorry. I was about to
give him a piece of my mind and tell him to
watch where he was going, but then I noticed
he had a cane. He didn’t seem elderly. There
must have been something wrong with his
legs. Just then, my phone started ringing. The
high-pitched ringtone is really annoying.
Before I could answer it, there was a screech
of tires and a dull thud. The man who bumped
into me was lying in the middle of the street
in a pool of blood. His sunglasses were lying
nearby, cracked and broken. The driver got out
and yelled, “He just jumped out right in front
of me!” The driver thought it was a suicide,
but I think the man was just clumsy and
didn’t look where he was going. It was his
own fault. He should have been more careful.
5. The Man Next Door
I haven’t left my apartment in months. The
days go on and on and nothing changes.
Nothing ever happens. Every day is the same
as the next. It’s monotonous. There’s only one
thing that keeps me sane. It’s the friendly
little kid who lives next door. Sometimes she
comes over to play with me. Her mother came
home early from work today, so I tell her to
leave. I listened at my door and overheard
their conversation.
“Where were you?” her mother asked.
“I was playing with the man who lives next
door,” the girl replied.
“I told you not to tell lies,” her mother
snapped.
6. Haunted Tunnel
There was a tunnel that was said to be
haunted. Three schoolgirls decided to go there
one evening to test their courage. When they
looked into the tunnel, it was pitch black and
the girls started to lose their nerve. They
decided to hold hands and run through the
tunnel. They ran through the darkness and
didn’t stop running until they reached the end.
When they came out on the other side, without
anything happening to them, the girls were
gasping for breath and laughing. “Holding
hands made it less scary,” said one girl. “I’m
glad I was in the middle,” said the other. “Me
too,” said the third.

7. Rejuvenation
Old Man: Can you really rejuvenate my body
and make me young again?
Scientist: Certainly. Our company has
developed this machine that will take your
cells and use them to generate a young,
healthy body. Then, your memories will be
extracted and transplanted into your new
body.
Old Man: I see… Very good.
The old man lay down on the bed and was
covered with a sheet.
A few hours passed.
Old Man: This is taking a long time… When
will the procedure begin?
Scientist: Sorry to keep you waiting.
Young Man: Thank you. The procedure went
so well… By the way, what are you going to do
with this old body?
Scientist: It will be disposed of here.
The scientist wheeled the bed into the
incineration facility.
Old Man: Oh. The person before me seems to
have had a successful rejuvenation. Anyway,
finally it’s my turn.
Young Man: Thank you.
8. Bridge Collapse
I crossed the suspension bridge just before
22:00 last night. I went to the shop and
bought some groceries, then returned home.
The next day, I was watching the news on the
local TV station. The reporter said: “Yesterday,
a suspension bridge collapsed… several dead
bodies were found in the wreckage… They have
yet to be identified… The collapse is believed
to have happened between 10 and 11PM.” On
the screen, they showed the suspension bridge
that I crossed over yesterday.
9. Funeral Home
A man went to a funeral home to make
arrangements for his wife’s funeral. The
mortician showed him a range of coffins and
he picked out the most expensive one. “Only
the very best for her,” said the man. “She
always wanted the very best. After making all
the arrangements, the man turned to leave. As
he was going, the mortician asked, “When did
she die?” The man stopped at the door and
replied, “She’s not dead yet.”
10. Elevator
I live on the 8th floor of my apartment
building. I always take the elevator. One day,
when I came home from work, I heard
something strange in the elevator… Kishikishi
Kishikishi… It was a weird scratching sound
coming from outside the elevator. I listened to
it all the way to my floor… Kishikishi
Kishikishi… It sounded like some kind of
creature scratching the elevator with its claws.
The noise sent shivers down my spine.
Eventually, I got to my floor and when the
doors opened and I stepped out, the sound
stopped. I went into my apartment. That night,
around midnight, I was awoken by a low, dull
sound.

1. Died on the Corner
Years ago, I worked at a store, but my job was
to stand outside with a billboard, trying to get
attract customers. One day, when I was
standing out on the sidewalk, I saw a van
coming straight towards me. It suddenly
jumped the curb and slammed into me. I felt it
crush me against the electrical box of the
traffic lights. I saw a quick flash as the traffic
lights flickered off and then I blacked out.
I gasped and realized I was still on the corner,
but none of that had happened. There was no
van, no accident, no anything. I was so shaken
by the experience that I decided to take a
break and started walking back to the store.
All of a sudden, I heard a huge crash behind
me. I turned around and saw that a van had
just jumped the curb and slammed into the
traffic lights, crushing the electrical box. I saw
a quick flash as the traffic lights flickered off.
Needless to say, I took the rest of the day off.
2. Did He Really Die?
I was at work when my mom called to tell me
some terrible news. My uncle had died. I was
shocked and very sad. Hearing about the loss
really affected me. A few weeks later, I was
talking to my sister and she mentioned that
my aunt and uncle were doing something.
But Hes dead, I said, puzzled. No, my
sister said, hes not. I called my mom and
she told me the same thing. He wasnt dead.
To this day, Im still not sure if I imagined it
or if it really happened. It still freaks me out.
I Dont Speak French
This happened a few years ago. One morning,
I woke up and my girlfriend and I had a
conversation in French. I got out of bed and
went to take a shower. Just as I was turning
on the water, I realized something. Neither of
us speak French. I went back to the bedroom
and asked her about it. She remembered the
conversation happening, but she was just as
confused as I was. I cant even tell you what
the conversation was about because I dont
speak French.
A Different Path
One day, I was walking to work when I had the
sudden urge to take a different path than
usual. I dont know why. It was just a strange,
spur of the moment decision. I walked down a
street I had never seen before and all of a
sudden, something weird happened. It was like
my mind just became scrambled. I felt like I
was floating outside of my body as if I was
in some weird alternate dimension. I started
seeing different colors and shapes and then I
had a vision. I saw a group of strange-looking
people. They looked like businessmen in suits.
They looked startled when they realized I
could see them. One of the people made a
quick movement and suddenly everything
turned to black. When I came back to normal, I
was on a completely different street. It was
the same street that I always use to walk to
work. I felt sick, and severely disturbed. The
weird thing is, when the glitch was correcting
itself and I could see those strange people
watching me like I was a caged animal and I
had the feeling that I was being controlled
somehow. It still bothers me.

1. The Warning Call
I grew up on a farm in a remote area and I
have always been uneasy about being in the
house by myself at night. There are no street
lights in the area and, at night, it is pitch
black outside.
One night, my parents went out and I was
home alone. I was sitting on the couch when
the phone rang. I picked it up and heard an
automated voice say, “Would you like to
accept a collect from…” Then I heard a voice
say my name. It was my voice.
I was freaked out, but I accepted the call.
“Hello?” I said nervously. There was no reply. I
could hear someone breathing on the other
end of the line. Then, they hung up.
I was standing by the sliding glass doors in
the kitchen and, just then, I happened to
glance outside. In the darkness, I could make
out a figure standing there. I was so terrified, I
ran to my dad’s room and grabbed his gun. I
hid there in the bedroom and I didn’t come
out until my parents returned 20 minutes
later.
I still don’t know what happened that night.
Was it the future me calling to warn me? Did
that call save my life?
2. Did I Call Myself?
This happened 15 years ago. I was working
nights at the time and started work at 9PM.
One night, I arrived at work and my supervisor
gave me a confused look. “What are you doing
here?” he asked. “I’m working tonight,” I
replied. “But you called in sick a few hours
ago,” he said. I was a bit confused. “It must
have been someone else,” I laughed.
I looked at the message that said I had called
in. The call came at at 6:50PM and the
message said that I had gotten sick while I
was out cleaning up after a storm the night
before. There had been a storm, but I had not
gone out to clean up. The whole thing struck
me as very weird.
I decided to call my wife and tell her about it.
I picked up the phone and dialed my home
phone number. It rang twice before it was
picked up and a raspy male voice said,
“Hello?”. I was so shocked, I didn’t know what
to do. I looked at the phone to make sure I
had dialed the right number. The person on
the other end said, “Hello?” again in the same
raspy voice.
“Hello. Who is this?” I said nervously.
“This is Taylor,” the voice replied. “Who is
this?”
A chill ran down my spine. My name is Taylor.
“Where’s Ann?” I said, my voice shaking. I
wanted to scream.
“Ann’s in bed,” the voice replied. “Who is
this?”
I dropped the phone and told my supervisor
there was an emergency and I needed to get
home immediately. As I was leaving, my
confused supervisor picked up the phone and
said, “Hello?”
I drove home as fast as I could. My mind was
racing. I couldn’t understand what was going
on. When I got to my house, I burst through
the front door and found my wife sitting in the
living room, calmly watching TV. She was
shocked to see me home so early. She said
there was no one else in the house and the
phone hadn’t rung all night. I picked up the
phone to call my supervisor, but the line was
dead.
The next evening, when I went back to work,
my supervisor gave me a weird look and
asked, “How the hell did you do that?”. He
told me that when I left the night before, he
had picked up the phone and when he realized
that the person on the other end of the line
sounded exactly like me, he freaked out and
hung up.
It got even more weird. He said that, a minute
later, I had called back from home and asked
him what was going on. According to him, I
was angry and said I was sick and did not feel
like playing games and told him to stop prank
calling me and hung up.
I just stared at my supervisor and told him I
had no idea what was going on. Later, I found
out that the phone line for my area had been
knocked down by the storm the night before.
This is absolutely the strangest thing that has
ever happened to me.
3. A Call From My Brother
My brother and I went to college together and
we shared a small, two-bedroom apartment.
We were both very different. He always went to
bed early and I always stayed up till all hours
of the night.
One evening, he came home from college
looking exhausted and went straight to bed. I
stayed up in the living room, watching TV and
playing video games. Around midnight, I was
getting tired, so I decided to go to bed. Just
then, the phone rang.
When I answered it, an automated voice of the
operator said, “You have a collect call from…”
The thing was, when it got to the part where
the other person is supposed to identify
themselves, it was my brother’s voice. He
sounded desperate, and the noise in the
background sounded like he was just off a
busy interstate.
I turned around. From where I was standing, I
could still clearly see my brother lying in his
bed, asleep and his cell phone was lying on
the kitchen counter beside me. I was so
unnerved that I refused to accept the call. I
was shaking and I barely managed to get any
sleep that night.

themselves, it was my brother’s voice. He
sounded desperate, and the noise in the
background sounded like he was just off a
busy interstate.
I turned around. From where I was standing, I
could still clearly see my brother lying in his
bed, asleep and his cell phone was lying on
the kitchen counter beside me. I was so
unnerved that I refused to accept the call. I
was shaking and I barely managed to get any
sleep that night.

Riddle 1. Strange Note
A few years ago, my older brother went crazy.
He stabbed my sister to death and attacked
my parents. The police managed to subdue
him before he killed them too. He’s been in a
mental hospital ever since and we never visit
him.
This morning, we got a letter from him in the
mail. The postmark was yestrday. I opened it
and inside, I found a strange note:
“Tonight the wind blows colder still.
As I know darkness never light.
The pain will break strong hearts.
Mind dreams still escape my grasp.”
I couldn’t make sense of it, so I went to the
kitchen and gave it to my mother. As soon as
she finished reading it, her face went pale and
the note slipped from her fingers. She rushed
to the front door and started screaming.
Riddle 2. Poor Girl
A girl endured terrible bullying every day at
school. Some of the girls in her class would
even take her to a secluded place and beat her
up so nobody would see them doing it. One
day, the girl was found dead in the school
toilet. The teachers said it was suicide. She
had sliced her own wrists and bled to death.
She left a note:
“Please excuse the unfortunate mess. I
committed suicide, but it was not because I
was bullied.”
Riddle 3. Taking Out the Trash
This morning, I was awakened by banging and
clattering. My wife was downstairs making
breakfast. She doesn’t usually make this much
noise. I went downstairs to the kitchen. My
wife had her back to me and she was cutting
something up in the sink. I said, “Good
morning” but she ignored me.
Then, I remembered what happened last night.
My wife caught me cheating on her and we
had a violent argument. So, today she must
be giving me the silent treatment. How long
can that last?
I sat down at the table and asked her when
breakfast would be ready, but she continued to
ignore me. Then I looked at the clock. It was
almost time to go to work. I raced upstairs
and hurriedly changed into my suit. When I
came back down, my wife was out in the
garden doing something.
I always take out the trash before I go to work,
so I grabbed the big black plastic bag in the
kitchen. It was unusually heavy. She hadn’t
just double-bagged it. She had used about 4
or 5 black garbage bags. I dragged it out to
the end of the driveway and left it on curb.
It was so heavy, I wondered what was in there.
My curiosity got the better of me. I untied the
knot and took a look inside…
Riddle 4. Dead Body
One day, I was watching the news when the
house I used to live in as a child came up on
the screen. It was a breaking news story. They
said the dead body of a girl was found buried
in the back yard. I was so shocked, I grabbed
my phone and called my dad immediately to
tell him about it.
“Dad, are you watching the news?” I asked.
“No,” he replied. “Why?”
“You’ll never guess what happened,” I gushed
breathlessly. “Remember that old house where
we used to live? Well, it’s on the news. They
found a dead body buried in the backyard. The
police are questioning the owners right now.”
“What?” he replied. “Are you serious?”
“Wow, that’s scary!” he exclaimed.
“Yeah, it is scary,” I said. “What if it was there
back when we were living in the house. We
could have been walking back and forth in the
garden, all the time unaware that there was a
corpse beneath our feet. It freaks me out just
to think about it.”
“Me too,” he said. “I never noticed a thing
while we were living there, but it’s a scary
thought. Of course, I feel bad for the girl and
her parents.”
“Yeah, I do too. They must have been worried
sick.”
“I wonder who buried her there,” he said. “It
give me the creeps just thinking about it.”
“Well the police are investigating it now,” I
said. “They’ll probably get to the bottom of it
eventually.”
“I hope so,” said my dad. “But you know how
these things are. Sometimes so much time has
gone by that they just end up being an
unsolved mystery…”
Riddle 5. Apartment Building
There’s an old, vacant apartment building
near me. The city is planning to demolish it
soon. I often pass by it on the way home from
work. A number of people have committed
suicide there by jumping to their deaths.
Because of that, they say the ghosts of the
suicide victims still haunt the building. At
night, the area is quite eerie because there are
no street lights.
One night, I had to stay late at work and it
was almost 11PM when I was walking home. I
was passing by the apartment building and it
was creeping me out. Just then, I looked up
and spotted a shadowy figure on the roof.
I thought it was a ghost. My heart almost
stopped. Then I took a closer look and I could
make out a person standing there on the roof.
All of a sudden, the person jumped. I watched
as the figure fell to the ground and landed
with a sickening thud. It was horrible.
I rushed over and saw that it was a woman.
She was lying in a pool of blood on the
concrete. Her head was split open and her
arms and legs were twisted at odd angles. I
immediately called an ambulance on my cell
phone. The whole thing upset me so much, I
was shaking and I thought I was going to be
sick.
Some people must have heard the sound of
her hitting the concrete. When I looked up,
people in the apartment building were leaning
over their balconies, trying to get a look.
Soon, the ambulance came and took her away.
When I got home, I couldn’t sleep a wink. I
couldn’t get the memory of that horrible scene
out of my mind.
Riddle 6. Argument
There was a married couple who lived in an
apartment building with their young daughter.
The husband and wife never got along and
were always arguing. One day, they started to
quarrel over something small. Their daughter
was sitting on the windowsill, listening to
them shout at each other. The argument
turned into a big screaming match. The
daughter couldn’t stand to listen to it
anymore, so she left. When the parents
realized their daughter was gone, they looked
out the window and saw her outside. They felt
very guilty, so they followed her.
