Once upon a death, there was a man that had a family of 4, his wife and two kids, a boy and a girl. They lived out by the shore where it was more peaceful. So they thought.
One day, the man was reading the paper and came across a very strange article saying a man and his family of four were found dead in the swamp. He was so taken aback, he took his family on a week vacation to get rid of that thought. While they were away, the man asked his brother to watch the house.
When the man's brother arrived at the house, it began to rain. The man had brought a gun in his suitcase just in case, but he had run inside so quickly he did not have time to grab his luggage.
Later that night, when he was getting ready for bed, he heard a noise like a vase shattering in the bathroom. Without hesitation, the man ducked around the corner and saw the bathroom door slightly propped open. As he neared the door, it slammed shut and he heard a deafening scream coming from within the bathroom. He tried to open it, but the door was sealed shut. Eventually, the screaming stopped. Red liquid poured out from under the door and was stinging the carpet. Finally, the door opened. He opened the door to find his wife lying on the floor, missing both of her arms and legs. When the man turned to look in the mirror, what he saw was frightening. His body was there, his arms and legs were there. All except his head. And the door shut.
When the family returned the next day, the rain had stopped and the family hadn't heard from the father's brother, they assumed he left early. When they went to their rooms, the father found a body hanging from the ceiling. He turned the body around and realized it was wearing the clothes of his brother. But the face was the strangest thing of all. It had the face of a pig.
When the cops found the family, they were long gone. The people of their neighborhood say they were taken by the boogie man and some say they were killed by some nonsense childhood fears. But hey, you never know. It could have been ME.
