Creepypasta #1395: Why You’re Afraid of the Things in Your House

I have to run past my hallway closet at night.

It’s bad in the daytime, to be sure,
but not as bad as it is when the sun goes down. With the
daylight illuminating my path, I can walk past the door and be okay as long as
refrain from looking directly at it.

At night,
though, I have to break into a jog whenever I venture down the hallway.

I swear it’s
colder just in front of the door. And I always feel like I’m being watched.

Can you honestly tell me that you
never feel the same way? Are parts of your house just off-limits, because you
know you don’t know what’s in there?

Ghosts are
real. Don’t scoff. Think about it. Ghosts are bodiless entities that find a way
to haunt certain places. How can anything with no physical manifestation exist
in a particular location?

By living in our heads. It’s
believing that ghosts are real that makes them real – that’s
all a haunting is. Add in the terrified reactions that we have, and it all
comes together – we’re haunted by the thing that has possessed our mind and
causes us fear.

So I run past
the haunted hallway closet.

And of
course, I know how silly it actually is.

Because I made sure all the bodies were dead before I put
them there.
