00:00It's been four years since this happened, but I remember it as vividly as if it happened last

00:07night. Sometimes, when that woman's grotesque face appears in my dreams, I wake up screaming.

00:14Even now, as I type this out, goosebumps crawl across my skin, and a cold sweat trickles down

00:21my back. It was mid-June, on a rainy evening. You know those days when the sky never really

00:28brightens, and the rain just keeps falling, like the world's holding its breath. Yeah,

00:34it was one of those days. I was on the veranda, rushing to bring in the laundry before the storm

00:40got worse. That's when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head. There was a

00:46woman standing at the end of the driveway, just in front of my house. At first glance, it looked like

00:54she had no head. A short, involuntary scream escaped me. Not loud, just a startled, breathless

01:01noise. But when I focused, I realized the truth was somehow even worse. Her head wasn't missing,

01:08it was just tilted all the way back. So far back, it looked unnatural, like her head was broken.

01:16And her mouth was wide open. She didn't move. She didn't speak. She just stood there,

01:24facing the sky. The only sound was the rain. I stood frozen for a full minute, watching her.

01:31She never looked at me, never shifted, not even a twitch. I felt cold fear drip down my spine.

01:39Something in me knew, don't provoke her. So I quietly continued gathering the laundry,

01:44moving as softly as I could. I started walking toward the front door. That's when she snapped

01:51her head toward me. My heart stopped. Her face was lit up with this unbelievably joyful expression,

01:59but it wasn't normal. It looked stuck, almost like a mask. People smile, and then their face returns to

02:06neutral. But hers didn't. She just kept smiling, wide, unblinking, unmoving. It was a smile I can't

02:14even begin to describe, the most joyful, most horrifying expression I've ever seen on a human

02:20face. Something inside me said, she's not right, she's not safe. But I didn't say a word. I didn't

02:28make a sound. I ran. I bolted for the front door, yanked it open, dashed inside, and slammed it shut

02:36behind me. Click. I locked it. Three seconds later, there was a massive bang against the door.

02:43I screamed and dropped everything. The laundry scattered everywhere. I collapsed to the floor.

02:50What are you doing? I screamed. My voice sounded like a terrified child's. But there was no answer,

02:57just silence. I remember thinking, how did she get here so fast? I had just shut the door,

03:04just seconds ago. And somehow, she had reached it, and slammed into it with terrifying force.

03:11It sounded like a body slam, not just a knock. I'm calling the police! I shouted, still silence.

03:19I crept to the window and peeked outside. She was back in the driveway, standing exactly where she had

03:26been before. Head still tilted back, face still grinning at the sky. Every now and then,

03:33she would twist her body like she was celebrating some private joy. I called the police. They arrived

03:40not long after, and they arrested her. I remember one of the officers asking me if I was okay,

03:46but I couldn't take my eyes off her. Her face, it was bleeding. Blood was dripping from her nose

03:53and forehead. That's when I realized she had slammed her face into my front door. But even with

04:01the blood, she was still smiling. I never heard what happened to her. The police never followed

04:06up with me. They just took her away. Maybe she was mentally ill. Maybe she was high. I don't know.

04:13But I still don't understand why she ran at me like that. And I can't stop thinking, if I hadn't shut

04:20that door in time, she would have slammed right into me. I think about that moment every time it rains.

04:26My name is Erica, and this is a true story that happened when I was 23 years old, though I remember

04:37it like it was yesterday. I'm 61 now, and this experience still haunts me. My friends and I had

04:45decided to escape the city for a weekend of camping, eager to disconnect and enjoy nature. The woods were

04:52dense and eerily quiet. The only sounds were the soft murmur of our conversations and the occasional

04:59hoot of an owl. As the night deepened, the firelight flickered, and the shadows seemed to

05:06slither and twist with a life of their own. We shared great ghost stories, each one more chilling

05:13than the last, until an uneasy silence settled over the group. Just as I was about to break the tension

05:21with a joke, a faint rustling came from the edge of the clearing.

05:27Did you hear that? Sarah whispered, her voice trembling. We all froze, straining to listen. The rustling

05:35grew louder and closer. It wasn't the sound of an animal or the wind. It was slow, deliberate.

05:43Probably just a raccoon. Jake muttered, trying to sound brave, but his eyes betrayed him. Before anyone

05:51could move, a figure emerged from the darkness. It was tall and gaunt, with long, spindly limbs.

06:00But what stopped us cold was its face, or rather, the lack of one. Where its face should have been,

06:08was a smooth, featureless expanse of pale skin, like stretched wax. We stared in stunned silence,

06:18unable to process what we were seeing. Then, with a sudden, jerky movement, the faceless being

06:26lunged. Chaos erupted. We scrambled to our feet, the firelight casting frantic shadows across our

06:33panicked faces.

06:34Run! I screamed, grabbing Sarah's hand and dragging her toward the forest. We bolted through the underbrush,

06:43branches clawing at our skin. Behind us, the faceless creature moved with unnatural speed,

06:51its limbs snapping forward like spider legs. We stumbled into a clearing, hearts racing.

06:59Jake and Tom were gone. We have to find them. Sarah gasped, her eyes wide with fear. Then,

07:07came a scream. High, sharp, and full of terror. It was Jake. We ran toward the sound, the scream

07:16cutting off abruptly, replaced by a wet, sickening noise that made my stomach lurch.

07:23We found Jake near a large oak tree. His body was crumpled, blood pooling around him,

07:30eyes frozen open in a mask of pure horror. The faceless thing loomed over him,

07:37its head tilted as if admiring its work.

07:41Tom? Where's Tom? Sarah sobbed. I turned, and there he was,

07:47another lifeless figure, twisted unnaturally on the forest floor. His face contorted in pain.

07:55The being looked at us. We ran again, deeper into the woods, the sound of its pursuit never far

08:02behind. My lungs burned, my legs were lead, but I didn't stop. We burst into another clearing,

08:10and there it was, a small, crumbling cabin. There! I shouted. We sprinted to the door,

08:18and slammed it shut, barring it with a thick wooden plank. The creature pounded against it,

08:24each blow shaking the cabin. Then, silence. Do you think it's gone? Sarah whispered.

08:32I don't know. I said, dread curling in my chest. The silence dragged on and on,

08:39and then the door exploded inward. The faceless being stood in the doorway, head cocked, savoring

08:48our fear. It moved toward us, slowly, arms outstretched. We slowly backed up until we pressed

08:57ourselves against the far wall. Sarah screamed as it reached for her, its long, bony fingers inches from

09:04her face. In a final, desperate move, I grabbed a broken piece of wood and struck it. It barely

09:12flinched. Its empty face turned to me. It reached out, and the moment its skin touched mine, everything

09:20went black. I woke up the next morning on the forest floor. The cabin was gone. Sarah was gone.

09:29Jake. Tom. Gone. All that remained was the blood on my clothes, and the crushing dread in my chest.

09:38To this day, I don't know what that creature was. Maybe it was something not of this earth. Maybe it

09:44was never meant to be seen. I never told anyone what happened, who would believe me. Now, I see a

09:51psychiatrist, trying to get this thing out of my head. But sometimes, I still wake up gasping from

09:58nightmares. Hearing that inhuman scream. I think about Jake and Tom every day. I wonder, would they

10:06have families now? If that night never happened? I just want young people to be careful. You never

10:12know what's out there. Because sometimes, the woods take more than just your peace and quiet. Sometimes,

10:19they take everything.

10:25They take everything.

10:27They take everything.
