It was a stifling summer evening in Lahore, Pakistan, and I had just returned home after a particularly grueling day at work. As I stepped through the familiar threshold of my family's old house, a wave of exhaustion mingled with relief washed over me.

Hospital Hauntings: A Transporter’s Tale
The year was 2018, and I had just started working as a transporter in a hospital. My job was to move patients, equipment, and sometimes, even medical records from one place to another. It was a simple job, but it kept me busy. The hospital where I worked was moving from the old city hospital to a new, modern facility. The old hospital was built in the 1930s and had served the community for decades. But now, it was showing its age with its creaking floors and dimly lit hallways.

Whispers in the Shadows: Exploring the Secrets of the Abandoned Apartment. Content Warning.
Deep in the heart of the city, nestled among towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, there stood an old, forgotten apartment building. Its weathered facade hinted at a past filled with life and laughter, but now it loomed silently, its windows broken and its halls empty. Intrigued by the stories whispered among locals, my friend Maya and I decided to explore its mysteries one moonlit night. Armed with nothing but flashlights and a nervous excitement, we slipped through the rusted gates and ventured into the eerie darkness within. The air was thick with dust and the faint smell of decay, our footsteps echoing softly on the cracked tiles. Shadows danced around us, cast by our wavering beams of light. As we climbed the creaking staircase, each step seemed to echo louder than the last. On the third floor, a sudden draft sent a chill down my spine, and Maya’s grip tightened on my arm. We exchanged a nervous glance, but curiosity drove us forward. We had to know what lay hidden within these forsaken walls. In one of the rooms, we found remnants of a life long abandoned old furniture draped in dusty sheets, like ghosts frozen in time. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the occasional creak of floorboards beneath our feet. As we moved deeper into the maze of rooms, a door at the end of the corridor suddenly slammed shut with a deafening crash, making us jump in fright. Heart pounding, we exchanged panicked whispers, our minds racing with thoughts of what could be lurking in the shadows. The air grew heavy with a sense of unease, as if the very walls were watching us. Shadows seemed to flicker and dance in the corners of our vision, playing tricks on our frayed nerves.

Whispers in the Shadows
In Ravenwood, a peaceful town among mist-encircled woods and age-old mountains, there was a house. This old building had heard many rumors whispered about it for a number of years. Locals referred to it in low whispers as the “Wicker House” because of how old fashioned it appeared, and its dilapidated wooden walls together with a garden filled with high bushes created the impression that darkness descended there at nightfall and stayed indefinitely.

A Hospital Haunting I work the overnight shift at a hospital. By far the creepiest thing that happened to me while working there was when I was cleaning two rooms after the patients had been discharged. The two rooms were connected with one shared exit. I cleaned the first room, left for about 10 minutes, got more supplies, and then went back to the other room. When I walked back in, I saw a little old lady in a chair, hunched over.
