The Other Side of the Mirror
Tania had fair moved into a disintegrating ancient flat in Puran Paltan, Dhaka. With a modern work and dreams of freedom, she was enthusiastic to begin her life over again. The level was modest—faded backdrop, squeaky entryways, and tidy waiting in corners—but it had a unusual charm.

Where shadows breath. Content Warning.
The year was 2010. I was in class 9 at the time and was only 16 years old. Fear was something I didn't really understand at this age. Every year, our village of Durgapuja celebrated with great enthusiasm. One of the highlights for me was the cultural programmes held at our school during the festival - full of music, drama and dance. I especially loved watching these shows at night.

For decades, his dark silhouette had expired over the landscape, and once-terrifying stone walls had been broken before his age. Manor House had a call - creepy.

The Last Passenger So, she hopped on the train. Although, she was not the only one…. Content Warning.
It was just about midnight when Maya walked down the stairs. There were very few people at the station, just the noise of the wind blowing the old newspapers on the floor. The train rolled in, which was the last time that night, and it was not easy to see as its lights made their way through the dark. Maya tightly hugged her coat around herself and entered the nearest carriage.

A Scary Ghost Story
The Shadows That Whisper Ella moved into the old, creaky house at the edge of town on a cold October night. The kind of house that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, hidden behind overgrown trees and a gate made of rusty iron. But she didn't care because it was perfect for her because it was quiet, private, and away from the city's noise. The first few days were overly tranquil. Ella spent her time settling in, exploring the house, and unpacking. An eerie atmosphere was created by the dim light filtering through the dusty windows, the walls sighed from the wind, and the floors creaked beneath her feet. But she didn't start noticing strange things until the fifth night. It began with a faint whispering in the dark. She initially attributed it to the house shifting or to the wind blowing through wall cracks. But as they got louder, the whispers became obvious. "Help me..." With a pounding heart, Ella froze in her bed. She told herself it was just her imagination. However, the whispers persisted, becoming increasingly distinct and desperate. They came back every night at midnight. She tried to ignore them and sleep through the numbing shivers, but the sound was always there, sneaking into her dreams and staying with her even when she was asleep. Ella couldn't take it anymore one night. She ventured into the basement of the house, the location of the whispers, armed with a flashlight and trembling hands. The stairs creaked under her weight, each step echoing in the thick silence. The air was damp and suffocating at the bottom, and the shadows ran unnaturally along the walls. She noticed a faded door that was half hidden behind a pile of old furniture as she reached the far corner of the basement. The whispers were louder now, as if calling her, pleading for her attention. Ella took a deep breath before opening the door. Her blood froze as she discovered what was inside. The only thing in the room was a worn-out rocking chair in the middle, which was small and empty. However, the person seated in the chair, not the chair itself, was what frightened her. a pale, gaunt woman whose face was obscured by her long, tangled hair. She murmured to herself as she rocked back and forth with her bony fingers clenching the chair's arms. “Please… help me…”

Might night horror story
Sur **"The Reflection"** It was supposed to be just another antique mirror—one of many Ellie had collected over the years. She found it in a dusty little thrift shop tucked between two boarded-up storefronts in a forgotten part of town. The frame was ornate, with twisted vines carved into the wood and faded silver inlay. The shop owner, an old woman with clouded eyes, gave Ellie a strange look as she rang up the purchase.
