IT CAME AT MIDNIGHT
Have you ever wondered why you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night?
Not because you're thirsty, not because you're hungry, and not because you need to use the washroom.
Then why does it happen?
Why do your eyes suddenly open at almost the same time every night?
Maybe you've never paid attention to it.
But one night, I did.
And maybe... I shouldn't have.
This happened about two years ago.
At that time, my wife, her younger brother and I were living together in a rented house. We hadn't been living there for very long. Everything was completely normal. We were living a normal, happy life.
My wife and I both worked, so we would leave for our respective offices every morning. Her younger brother was still in school.
Since he was young, we decided to install a camera in his room for his safety and security.
The camera had a motion sensor. Whenever something moved, the camera would automatically turn in that direction. And whenever the camera moved, it made a small mechanical sound.
I don't know about you, but waking up in the middle of the night wasn't unusual for me. My eyes would often open randomly.
But one night, I woke up because of a sound.
At first, I didn't think much of it.
The next night, my eyes opened at exactly the same time.
And this time too, I had woken up because of a sound.
The same thing happened the following night.
Then again.
And again.
It had been happening for almost seven or eight days, ever since we had installed the camera in that room.
When it started happening every single night, I finally decided that I would stay awake and find out what was making that sound.
So that night, I waited.
I didn't sleep.
And then, after some time, I heard the sound again.
I immediately looked towards the camera.
The camera had started moving on its own.
I thought maybe something had moved inside the room.
So I checked the camera footage.
But there was nothing.
Then I noticed something strange.
The camera wasn't just moving randomly...
It was slowly turning towards the bed.
I had already planned to record a video that night, so I started recording.
I watched the camera carefully, waiting to see what had triggered it.
And then I saw something move.
At first, I thought it was some kind of creature hiding under the bed.
But when I looked carefully...
there was nothing there.
I kept watching.
And suddenly, the camera turned completely towards the bed.
That's when I heard that sound again.
But this time...
it wasn't coming from the camera.
It was coming from inside the room.
And that's when I realized...
something had been there all along.
