          	It's time for question of the week! 
          	
          	Have you ever heard footsteps behind you when no one was there?

@fright When that happens, relatives always tell me, Pia, you are hearing things again. (I wear hearing aides for both ears, maybe too powerful, eh? LOL) But starting from when I was young, I swear I saw a white formation of a sailor (My family and I used to live in Navy housing since my Dad was in the Navy ... worked on Airplanes not on sea). I used to be a hospital patient and volunteered in one as well, so if you hear noises when you are alone in the ward ... chances are you have a visitor from beyond... that's what I believe. I've felt that or maybe a fellow patient I knew is trying to say hi. *Smiles *

@fright Yes it happened when I visited my Grandparent's house as a kid. No one lives there after they pass away and it's a house with a long corridor. I heard footsteps behind me and when I ran out of fear I could feel the steps running too. 
          	  Although today I understand that it was the echo of my steps, yet it was my most dreadful and disturbing experience.

@fright Recently, in fact, I had a nightmare that felt like reality. It involved a failed cruise ship, me and my brother along with some other tourists, as well as a deadly nautilus creature that did the most horrid things. It was like a scene torn from 'The Meg' or something...

Greetings, Fright people!
          
          It's time for Question of the Day, 
          What would you do if you found an old photograph of yourself in a place you’ve never been?
          
          Let us know about it through comments! 
          Thank you.

@fright This sounds similar to the eerie polaroid picture I had, which made me think there was a ghost in the picture. 
            
            Honestly, I would immediately report such a mysterious photo to my loved ones, see if they can make sense of it. I would throw it into the fire afterwards.

Figure out where it is like the horror movie protagonist I am. How am I going to unleash evil upon the world if I don't interact with evil?

@fright That mystery will always linger in my mind if I got rid or it. Instead, I'd do research / investigate. It won't hurt me, unless I learn that I have a doppleganger somewhere. LOL!
            
            In fact, I learned long ago, there is someone who looks like me. My late grandfather had a secret family outside of my father's. So I've seen pictures of my step uncles and aunts who look so similar to my own relatives.

Hello, Fright People!
          
          The Shortys have come
          The Shortys did go,
          With just one goal
          To write it all
          
          The poets did write,
          With lines of words,
          Stories were told
          They won't go unheard
          
          It was fun and we'd wish to stay

          The first of many
          When we appear again we hope you'll be ready
          
          So hold on dear writer for weeks to come
          You'll hear from us soon when we conclude
          The Shortys have ended
          It has been splendid

Thank you so much for adding Haunted Rayne to your Gothic list. I’ve worked hard to ensure the novel captures the ambience of contemporary gothic romance, as well as paranormal mystery, and it’s so lovely to see it being recognized as Gothic Lit. Again, thank you so much for adding it to your list.
