Her Favorite
A family moved into a rented apartment, and their toddler daughter started talking about playing with a 'swing' a lot after they moved in.
The parents then bought their daughter a small indoor swing to play with, but the girl still wasn't entirely happy with her new toy.
Then one day, the mother saw her daughter wrapped a piece of rope around her doll's neck, then she started swinging the doll and called out happily: 'Swing! Swing!'
The mother was horrified and told her daughter to stop playing like this. Letting go of the toy, the little girl pointed her finger at an empty spot near the ceiling and cried: 'Swing! Swing!'
Stalking
A school girl walked home after school, when she walked through a park, a chill ran down her spine suddenly so she turned around, only to notice a male figure, half-hidden among the trees, and the man seemed to be spying on her.
Frightened, the girl called for help when a middle age man walked by.
'Hey, you!' The middle age man marched toward the hidden unknown man, but as the man walked closer, he stopped dead. He found out it wasn't a stalker hiding among the trees, it was a man hanging himself, long dead.
Upon discovery the horrible truth, the middle age man told the girl to go home at once. The girl ran all the way home, only to see the outline of the same male figure hiding among the brushes *right next to the door to her home*, standing very still.
The girl was terrified, not daring to go near the door to her own home in such condition, she did the only thing she could: scream.
Hearing her scream, the girl's mother rushed out, and suddenly the terrible, still male figure was gone.
For a long time afterward, the girl could still sense the strange and still male figure, standing among trees or brushes, spying on her...
Brother
A girl was ill and resting at home, as time passed she became bothered by a strange sense of being watched, and the house seemed to be getting colder and colder for no reason.
Frightened, the girl walked to the balcony, she saw a friend passing by, so she called out: "Can you come in?"
She explained to her friend as she led the latter into her home. "I'm ill."
By now she no longer had the strange feeling of being watched.
"Oh, so that's why your brother was comforting you just then? Such a good brother he is!" Her friend asked. " I saw him standing behind you, holding your shoulder on the balcony."
Of course the girl never has any brother.
