This is me, sharing one of the eeriest experiences of my life. Back then, I was just a fresh grad---an exhausted office girl trying to make ends meet. Life was tough, money was tight, and I was doing everything I could to just stay afloat. That's when I stumbled across this old, Spanish-era white mansion.
It was beautiful. Too beautiful. The grand terrace, the vintage charm---it felt like something out of a dream. And the rent? Shockingly cheap. Way cheaper than anything else around. It felt like a blessing at first, like fate had handed me a little miracle when I needed it most.
But looking back now... I realize it wasn't luck at all.
It was a trap.
I had no idea I was walking straight into one of the scariest encounters with the paranormal I would ever experience.
.............................................................................................
This is a true story from Tanya Natazsha-one of the many strange and unsettling experiences she's had since realizing she had a third eye. What you're about to read isn't fiction. It actually happened.
Some names have been changed to protect the people involved... but everything else? Real.
So sit back, relax-if you can-and read on. Just know: once you open yourself up to the unseen, you can't always shut it out.

The Seven Layers of the Cosmos
They say some doors only open once. Luna lied to her father about a research trip to the Philippines. She didn't mention the impossible theory her vanished mother left behind. The pot swallowed her whole. Now she's crawling out of it into pre-colonial Madja-as during a pirate raid, where bodies fall like rain and survival isn't a skill you learn in international schools. The pot won't reopen. Her geometric tattoos burn with power she can't control. And somewhere in this brutal, beautiful world, there's a Keeper she's supposed to find. Except the Keeper is dead. Luna has spent her whole life trusting no one, needing no one, surviving alone. But here, blood soaks into communal earth. Here, warriors die with their crew's names on their lips. Here, villages share their last handful of rice. Isolation isn't strength when survival is measured in how many hands pull you back from the edge. It's extinction. The cosmic layers are fracturing. An ancient god is clawing his way back to power. And the prophecy that dragged her through time demands something she's never learned how to give: trust. She crossed time to find her mother. She found a war, a prophecy, and the reason some people never make it home. 🔗https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Q39SmQjhz2NSrzYz8NUyaComplete
Flashbulb Memory
I was just a child when life already decided to withhold from me something so many others took for granted-a happy family. I never knew what it was like to sit down for a meal with both parents, to laugh together over dinner, or to go out on weekends when there was no school. Those memories-those warm, simple moments that should've shaped my childhood-were never mine. Instead, I had silence and shouting. Writing in my notebook became my only refuge, the only place I could be free. The sound of my parents arguing echoed through the walls from sunrise to nightfall. It didn't matter if it was breakfast, lunchtime, or when I was trying to sleep, anger was the soundtrack of our home. As I grew up, a painful truth slowly carved itself into me: I was a child unwanted by her own parents. But then, there was Amir. He was just a kid like me, but somehow, he saw through the quiet walls I'd built around myself. He didn't try to fix me-he simply stayed. He taught me how to laugh with the other kids, how to join them at lunch instead of sitting alone. With Amir, I felt like I belonged. For the first time, someone taught me how to be a child-how to just exist without the weight of pain on my shoulders. And just when I thought we were finally starting to understand each other... he disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. He was just gone. And he never came back.

I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing°
I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?
