Japanese Ghost Story : The human head

Ghost Story

 

Don't leave the curtains open

It happened one night during my sophomore year at high-school.
I was completely exhausted due to the club activities at my school, so I went home, quickly ate the dinner and finished the bath.

I went to my room and quickly collapsed on the bed. The drowsiness fell upon me and I fell asleep without closing the curtains.

Sleeping without closing the curtains was the mistake I was going to regret.


Even though I was tired, my eyes opened up on their own at midnight.
The room was eerily silent at that hour. I realized that I had left the curtains open, so I decided to get up and close them.

But I realized this uncomfortable feeling... I couldn't move my body.

"Sleep paralysis?", I thought, and tried desperately to  move myself. But my every attempt was in vain.



On the top of not able to move my body, I sensed that I was being watched by someone.
I looked toward the window and sensed that the feeling of being watched was coming from that direction.

I was creeped out at this point, so I decided to avert my gaze from the window. But now matter how hard I tried, I always ended up looking at the window.

And then, I saw something that was outside the window. It was a human head.
 But I lived on the second floor, so how could this be possible?

I tried more desperately to look into the other direction, but it was all futile.

That head had seen me. Its forehead was ripped, hair disordered, and was oozing out blood like a soldier in a war.

At that moment, I lost consciousness. When I woke up, it was already morning.
Since then, I always close the curtains before going to bed.
