Lurking Stories

When twenty-four-year-old Gillian Lambert joins her friends for a winter retreat in the mountains, she imagines cozy nights and carefree days on the slopes. The rustic lodge feels charming, though its innkeeper, Arthur, lingers in the background-quiet, awkward, and difficult to read. One evening, Gillian catches him watching her from across the firelight. Her friends laugh it off as nothing. She isn't so sure. When a massive storm sweeps in, the group decides to leave early. Gillian lingers behind-and when her car won't start, she finds herself trapped as the snow piles higher, the roads vanish, and the outside world disappears. Alone in the silent lodge with Arthur, Gillian senses something shifting. His calm politeness feels too careful. His gaze lingers a moment too long. Isolated and cut off, she can't tell if he's her reluctant savior... or something far more dangerous. As the storm deepens into a whiteout, Gillian begins to question what lies beneath the surface-of the man who keeps her company, and of herself. In the storm, trust is a luxury... and survival may come at the cost of surrender.

A buried corpse deformed by a ravenous tumor claws its way out of the grave, roaming under full moons with a broken jaw and a hunger that never died, seeking to infect the living and fill the hollow that consumed it in life.

In "The Antlered Grave," archaeologists uncover two ancient skeletons in Téviec, France, buried with care beneath a crown of antlers and shells. But as night falls, strange whispers, shifting relics, and spectral traces suggest that the bond between the women buried there-and the violence that ended their lives-has not yet found peace.

Ever have a feeling that you're being watched ? Don't ignore it , it could be more than what you'd expect ...

That is the time we lurk, hidden in the shadows. Watching your every move, we wait to strike. No one is safe after the sun goes down and the midnight moon takes it's rightful place high in the sky.

A street worker uncovers a buried skeleton with a massive hole torn through its left side-an opening that looks less like an injury and more like something that once escaped, still stirring beneath the soil.

Ivory was living just fine by herself in her little home in Toronto, Canada. She heard weird things every now and again in the dark, but recently, things have gotten worse. Brick, her cat, getting locked in rooms, sentences written in blood on the mirrors, things get smashed and ruined, and rooms being torn apart. She came home from work one day with her best friend, Gray Wood, and he began coming every night to help clean things up. Every single night was like this when she returned home. Something was ruined. What was she supposed to do about it?

A shadow lurking in the dark

Everybody has an urge, whether it be big or small, to experience something created by the Devil himself; something that no one can possibly have a rational explanation for and is completely and utterly inhumane. I believe that fear lodges itself in the very depths of our minds, taunting even the strongest of us; no matter how hard we push to ignore the feelings that take over our bodies and the shivers that uncontrollably cause the hairs on our arms to stand on end. The constant peeking over the shoulder action we make on a daily occurrence to put our minds at ease and rest assure ourselves that there is something lurking in the corner of our rooms watching our every movement. What if your imagination is no longer safe? What would you do if your mind starts playing tricks on you? What if it doesn't, and everything you thought you were imagining, comes true. It's not fun when you're living a nightmare, take it from someone who knows. Me. I know, and soon enough, you will too.
