The abandoned room with old flooring, creaking under the pressure of each step, held something sinister. Only pale light penetrated through the dirty windows, highlighting the dust that slowly settled on the wooden planks. The furniture had long since disappeared, leaving only traces of legs from cabinets and beds on the floor, forming a mysterious pattern.

This room once belonged to Anna—a girl who disappeared without a trace many years ago. Her family left this house, unable to bear the burden of her disappearance. They said Anna had a special gift of seeing what was hidden from others. She often spoke of “shadows” that came to her at night, whispering sinister words. No one believed her, thinking it was just a child’s imagination until she vanished.

People who later entered this house felt an inexplicable cold and anxiety when they passed by this room. Some heard faint whispers and childish laughter that dissolved into the air. The wooden floor, marked by the traces of former furniture, seemed alive, sometimes creaking even without any pressure.

One day, a man named John, who researched paranormal phenomena, arrived in the town. He decided to uncover the mystery of this room. He brought with him a camera, a sound recording device, and a motion detector. After sunset, John entered the room, set up his equipment, and began to wait.

Time passed slowly. John started feeling the temperature in the room dropping. The motion detector went off, but he saw nothing. Suddenly, a child’s voice appeared on the recording, whispering, “Help me, I’m here.” John looked around, trying to understand where the sound was coming from, but saw nothing. He approached the spot where the old wardrobe stood and suddenly heard a loud knocking as if someone was trying to break out.

With trembling hands, he opened the wardrobe doors, but it was empty. Only an old piece of paper fell to the floor. It was Anna’s diary. On the last page, the words were written: “The shadows took me. They come for those who seek the truth.”

When John reviewed his camera footage, he found an image: blurry silhouettes of children surrounding him. He realized staying in this room was a mistake. Since that night, he never returned there. The room remained empty, keeping the secrets of Anna and her gift, which became her curse.

They say anyone who dares to enter after sunset risks ending up in the world of shadows, where time stops, and from which no one returns.
