In this world, anything strange can happen. The story I'm going to tell has to do with ghosts.
One weekend evening, Robert, a young doctor, had just gotten off work from the hospital and was hurrying in the direction of his home. His home is in an old manor house on the outskirts of the country, which is more than a hundred years old. Although the estate seems a bit eerie, Robert has long been used to it since he was a child.
On this day, as he was walking through a gloomy forest, he suddenly heard a strange sound in the distance. He followed the direction of the sound and came to a deserted cemetery. The cemetery was surrounded by thorns more than a man high, and in addition to this, there were several worn-out tombstones leaning crookedly among the thorn bushes. The sound came from the cemetery, a very bleak, very sad cry.
Robert dared to approach the cemetery and inspect the tombstones. Oh, my God! His name was engraved on it! And the names of his relatives who died of illness not long ago!
How is this possible? Robert panicked and thought, "That's their name, have they come back from the dead?" ”
At this point, the crying suddenly stopped. The entire cemetery suddenly became dead silent.
Feed! Robert shouted boldly.
There was still no movement in the silent cemetery.
Did I really meet a ghost? Robert shuddered, turned and ran.
He ran home in one go, and happened to meet ** Lucy, who was returning from going out. Lucy is Robert's recent acquaintance, and they have fallen in love and are preparing for their wedding.
What's wrong with you? The face is so ugly? Lucy asked with concern, "Is something wrong?" ”
Come with me, I'll take you somewhere. Robert grabbed Lucy's hand tightly and ran towards the cemetery without saying a word. When he arrived at the cemetery, he immediately led Lucy to the tombstone with the names of his relatives inscribed.
Look at this tombstone! "The names of my relatives are engraved here, but they are all dead!" ”
Lucy took a closer look, and sure enough, her name was engraved on it! Her heart trembled all of a sudden: "What's going on? ”
The two of them looked at it carefully for a while, but found nothing strange. They ran several more tombstones, only to find that all the tombstones with their names engraved on them had some strange signs in front of them, as if they had really come back from the dead!
Let's go back! Lucy said in a trembling voice, "It's scary here." ”
Good! Let's go back. Robert took Lucy's hand and ran back. When they returned to the manor, they both felt exhausted. That night, neither of them said a word, and went back to their rooms early to rest. In the middle of the night, however, strange things happened again: Robert heard a strange noise, which seemed to be coming from outside the window. He quietly got up to inspect and found a terrifying figure: it was standing outside the window and peeking into the room! This figure was not a familiar person or thing, but a strange, strange creature!
What is this? Robert was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the window, but the figure was gone. He looked around, but found no sign of the figure. He shook his head, thinking that he might have been too nervous and hallucinating. So he closed the window and went back to bed. However, the next morning, he found that a mud mark had appeared on his bed sheet! This is the mud mark left by that strange figure!
Robert's heart shuddered: What the hell is going on? Are there really ghosts? He and Lucy decide to keep a vigil at night to see what exactly happens. When night fell, they lit the oil lamps and waited quietly for the figure to appear. As the minutes ticked by, the room was eerily quiet. Suddenly, the silence was broken by a slight thud - it was the same figure again! It's quietly approaching the bedside! Robert and Lucy hugged each other tightly, watching in horror at the figure's every move. It didn't seem to be aware of their presence, and just kept going. When it reached the bed, it suddenly stopped, as if sensing something unusual. It slowly turned around, revealing a pale face! This face is none other than Robert's deceased relatives - his grandmother!
Robert and Lucy screamed in fright, "Grandmother! How did you become like this? They tried to run over and hug her grandmother, but she stepped back and disappeared into the darkness. All that remained was the mud mark and the desolate cry......
