Our story for the blog this time is chilling. It comes to us from Yash Devi who currently lives in New York. The story first appeared on Reddit and was sent to us via email. Yash asked me to edit it and has titled his story Scary Figure At Night!
During college I used to live alone in a bachelor unit in Mumbai, India. During exams I would study late and would often go down to the street between 2-4 am for a coffee. There was a guy on a bike who sold coffee and Dakluh. One night, nothing out of the ordinary, I went down to this coffee seller. The whole neighborhood was peaceful as usual.
I came out of my building compound and to the right was a huge garbage dumpster. It was early in the day and I was a bit sleepy but I didn’t see anyone in the area. I was walking along the road and to the right there were two mid size cargo trucks. As I passed the first truck I saw a shadow of a woman draped in white cloth standing in between them. From where she was there was no way I would have missed her while I was coming out of the building. It was as if this thing had appeared from thin air. The lane was dimly lit but there was enough light to see facial features (i.e nose, eyes etc) but her face was completely blank. I stared at her for a few seconds. She was unmoving but then her head slowly turned right towards me. I felt a chill go through my body. I don’t know how I knew, but I knew I was in trouble. As any normal person would do I ran away from there as fast as I could. If Usain Bolt would be next to me, I am sure I would have beaten him. I didn’t stop until I was completely out of the area. When I got to where the coffee seller was, he was missing that night. I returned back home and I never ever went for the late night refreshments ever again.
I have always been a skeptic and never believed in the paranormal, but that is all different now. One more thing. I am absolutely certain no woman would risk standing in a city in India, at night, in any neighborhood considering the high crime rate against women. A few weeks passed and I was telling a friend about what had happened. He got a shocked look on his face and told me that he had a similar incident and saw that same figure standing motionless on the street in the very same area. I’m not sure what to call it, but I darn sure that was no woman I saw that night! – Yash Devi
This Week’s Podcast: While searching for the story this week I ran into an obscure little website where the owner had a collection of science fiction stories that was quite unique. As I was going through the list I saw an episode of Dimension X that I have never heard of. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised by the quality and how good the story was. So, that is our featured tale this week. It is titled The Lost Race. It tells of a master race of aliens afraid to become human.
