Case 1: The mystery of the prison cell

The midnight silence at the police station ended when the patrol car arrived. Two police officers entered with the detained young man, and explained that he was accused of murder. But the police officer on duty at the police station had some doubts, since the young man seemed innocent.

The atmosphere inside the police station was so quiet that you could hear the sound of shoes echoing every time your feet touched the ground. The young accused looked left and right in fear. Walking towards the front of the cell to the back, a pair of beautiful eyes caught sight of a corner of the inner wall. The atmosphere of this prison cell was different from the cells he had passed through before: dark, cold and silent.

The sound of the steel door opening creaked loudly, hurting his ears. The police officer in charge removed the handcuffs and pushed him on the back to get him inside.

Once inside, the young man begged him not to leave him alone in the cell, but the police officer did not listen to him. The young man slowly sat down on the ground. His hands gripped the steel bars tightly, as his eyes trembled slightly before he began to sing softly.

"Namothassa bhagavato araha-"

'I should kill everyone. There should be no one left!'

"Arahato sammasambuddassa namodassa-" The young man recited the mantra while looking at his toes.

'I don't want to be locked up, let me go!!!'

"Bhagavato a Arahato sa sammasambuddhassa."

The young man began to recite incoherently, while suffering chills. The sound of body movements coming from something made the blood vessels stand out in her beautiful palms.

The sound of movement behind him grew louder, but the young man tried to ignore it. It sounded like something was being dragged, and like someone was trying to fight.

A loud, piercing scream sounded, causing the young man to hastily cover his ears. The sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and bodies colliding, plus screams full of agony, gave the feeling that someone seemed to be being strangled.

The sound continued to echo for almost four minutes until finally everything returned to silence.

The trembling young man slowly removed his hands from his ears. Out of the corner of his eye he couldn't see anything in the distance, and little by little he dared to look back. But all he got was an empty space and the young man let out a sigh of relief.

But then, a drop of water fell on his forehead, making his heart beat rapidly again. The young man took a deep breath and slowly looked up, what he saw made his heart almost stop beating and his body go numb at the same time.

It was the image of a man dressed in torn clothes, hanging from a beam above, with a thick rope holding his neck.

His eyes were bulging and his face was dark green, unlike someone who had just died. And the water that dripped on his forehead came from an open mouth with the tongue hanging out.

The image he saw made the young man tremble with fear. He frantically rushed to the inner wall. Both eyes widened as the hanging corpse swelled and finally fell to the ground. The corpse in front of him moved slowly, its swollen face staring at him with piercing eyes, before crawling towards him. A thin tongue darted back into his mouth, trying to form words he could understand.

' Die...die with me...'

"Please, please don't come closer!!!" the young man pleaded with his fists clenched, as the ghost in front of him grew closer and closer.
