00:00So, it was the beginning of July when me, Leela, and Jess pulled into the driveway of
00:07our rented beach house at Gilgo Beach.
00:10We were so ready for the weekend, an escape from the city, some sun, a few drinks, and
00:15just chilling by the ocean.
00:17The place was perfect too, this cute little beach house with these huge windows that looked
00:23right out at the ocean.
00:24It felt like our own little slice of paradise.
00:28The beach was quiet that morning, almost too quiet.
00:31It didn't disturb us, we were in full vacation mode.
00:35By the time we unpacked, it was already dawn, and we decided to take a splash while the
00:39beach was still quite unpopulated.
00:42The sky was all orange and pink as we ran toward the water, laughing and splashing around.
00:48The ocean felt so refreshing, and we were having the time of our lives, until I noticed
00:54him.
00:55At first, I didn't even give it a second glance.
00:58There was this guy standing by the dunes, far enough away that I couldn't really make
01:02out his face, but something about him felt off.
01:05He wasn't moving, just standing there, staring right at us.
01:09Do you guys see that?
01:11I asked, my voice shaking just a little.
01:14Jess and Leela both turned to look.
01:17The guy started walking towards us.
01:19I swear, the closer he got, the more I wished we'd never come out here.
01:23He towered in a crumpled up, buttoned down shirt and jeans, which, at the beach, seemed
01:28kind of weird.
01:30His hair covered his face, but I could see his mouth.
01:33He had one of those creepy grins, like he was enjoying something that only he knew.
01:38The hair tickled my dermis.
01:40You girls out for a swim?
01:43His voice was rough, as if he hadn't spoken in days.
01:47Leela tried to brush it off.
01:48We're just going in.
01:50He did not move.
01:52His eyes kept drifting to Jess, who was still wasted to her waist in the water.
01:57Then he grinned again, bigger, if that was possible.
02:01You ought to drop by my camp, he said, nodding to the trees across the dunes.
02:06It's over there.
02:07It'd be nice to have a drink and get out of the wind.
02:11No thanks.
02:13Jess snapped, visibly creeped out.
02:16He looked at her for a second and chuckled to himself, like he was laughing at the whole
02:20thing.
02:21Are you sure?
02:22You'd like it.
02:23Quiet spot.
02:24Good stories.
02:25I felt my guts twist.
02:28We're leaving, I said, trying to sound confident, and we all started walking back towards the
02:34house.
02:35I could feel his eyes on us the entire way.
02:38That grin was still plastered on his face.
02:41We locked the door in the house and tried to shake it off.
02:44He was probably just some weirdo, Leela said, though none of us believed it.
02:49We were all on edge, glancing at the windows now and then, half expecting him to pop up
02:55again.
02:56We tried to unwind with a movie and wine that night.
02:59Big windows that overlooked the beach were beautiful in daylight, but as it got darker
03:04outside they felt like giant black holes.
03:07They all could be out there watching.
03:09My god, I feel like someone's out there, Jess whispered, darting her eyes towards the windows.
03:17I attempted to laugh it off.
03:19You're just freaking yourself out.
03:22But deep down I felt it too.
03:24It was too quiet, too still, and then a noise, a thunderous bang from outside, really made
03:31us jump.
03:32What was that?
03:35Leela asked, her voice quivering.
03:37Boom.
03:38Louder than the first.
03:40Came seemingly from the back of the house.
03:43I stood up slowly, beating my heart with my chest.
03:46I opened the curtain, blood iced the veins.
03:50There was a handprint smeared across the window, as if someone had pressed it there and dragged
03:55it down.
03:56It was stained red.
03:57Oh my god.
03:59I whispered, backing up.
04:02In time, Jess and Leela ran over, and both of our faces settled perfectly still.
04:07That looks bad, Leela said, digging around her for her phone.
04:12We should call the cops.
04:13And here we all were, packed into the room, looking out the window, waiting for the police.
04:19But just before they arrived, we heard something else, some kind of scraping, slow and deliberating,
04:26like someone was dragging something along the walls outside the house.
04:29The sound was moving, circling the house, getting louder with every pass.
04:35By the time the cops arrived, there was nothing to hear.
04:38The fella was out of there, and all they had were footprints in the sand and the blood
04:42on the window.
04:44Cops said probably some local foolishness, but his face told me he didn't believe it.
04:50We hardly slept that night.
04:52Every little noise made us jump, and every creak of the house seemed to be a threat.
04:57Around 3am, I think I heard something, a soft knock on the window, as if someone was tapping
05:03on it, just barely loud enough to notice.
05:05I did not check it.
05:07I couldn't.
05:09The very next morning, we packed up and left very early.
05:12We did not want to be there anymore.
05:14Not one of us spoke a word on the way home.
05:17It was like we all wanted to forget it ever happened.
05:21Three years later, I was scrolling through my phone when something stopped me dead in
05:25my tracks.
05:26I clicked on the article, and there he was, the guy from the beach.
05:35The same creepy grin that danced in my head was staring back at me from the mugshot.
05:41My heart dropped into my stomach as I realized what could have happened to us that weekend.
05:46I quickly sent the article to Leela and Jess, my hands shaking.
05:51It was him.
05:53I typed, barely able to believe it.
05:56He, who was outside our window, tracked us, left his bloody handprint.
06:01He's a dreaded killer.
06:03We narrowly avoided a cruel monster.
06:09I never imagined inheriting anything from Aunt Clara.
06:13She was the black sheep of the family, mysterious, reclusive, and whispered about it in hushed
06:18tones at family gatherings.
06:20When I learned she had left me her beach house, where she was found dead, I was conflicted.
06:26Let's make an adventure out of it, my boyfriend Alex had suggested.
06:31With his tousled blonde hair and infectious grin, he could make any situation feel safe.
06:37So we packed up his old jeep and headed to the coast.
06:41As we pulled up to the house, a chill ran down my spine.
06:44The once grand Victorian stood weathered and decaying, its paint peeling like dead skin.
06:51The ocean roared behind it, waves crashing against jagged rocks.
06:56It's giving more haunted house than beach house.
07:00It's just old.
07:01Let's find out what we can make of it.
07:03We stepped inside, greeted by a musty scent and dust particles dancing in the stale air.
07:09The floors creaked underfoot, and faded portraits lined the walls, stern ancestors whose eyes
07:14seemed to follow us.
07:16While exploring, we stumbled upon a door hidden behind a heavy bookshelf.
07:21We heaved the shelf aside, revealing a narrow staircase descending into darkness.
07:26Should we go down?
07:28We came for an adventure, right?
07:31Armed with flashlights, we descended into the basement.
07:34Strange symbols were etched into the stone walls.
07:37Circles, stars, and unfamiliar runes.
07:40At the center stood an altar draped in crimson cloth, adorned with candles, bones, and a
07:45locket I recognized as Aunt Clara's.
07:48What was she into?
07:51Alex picked up a worn book from the altar.
07:54Looks like some kind of journal.
07:57That night, sleep eluded me.
07:59When I finally drifted off, vivid nightmares consumed me.
08:02I saw Aunt Clara, her long silver hair flowing as she chanted in a language that grated against
08:09my ears.
08:10Shadowy figures danced around a fire, and the symbols from the basement glowed ominously.
08:16I jolted awake, heart pounding.
08:19The room was cold, and the curtains fluttered, despite the windows being closed.
08:24Over the next days, the unease grew.
08:27Objects didn't stay where we left them.
08:29The old radio turned on by itself, playing static, latent tunes from decades past.
08:36Alex seemed distant.
08:38Are you feeling okay?
08:40Just tired.
08:41This place is giving me the creeps.
08:43Should we leave?
08:44No.
08:45I spoke with a contractor.
08:47He'll come and help us estimate the costs of renovation.
08:50He snapped more than usual, his patience wearing thin over trivial matters.
08:56Determined to uncover the truth, I delved into Aunt Clara's journal.
09:00Her neat handwriting detailed her involvement with a group seeking eternal life through
09:05soul transference.
09:07She believed she could cheat death.
09:10The final entry chilled me to the bone.
09:12The vessel must be of my bloodline, or one bound by love to it.
09:17The ritual nears completion.
09:20That is when a floorboard creaked behind me.
09:22What are you reading?
09:24His voice was flat, devoid of emotion.
09:27Just some of Aunt Clara's writings.
09:30She was... disturbed.
09:33He stepped closer, shadows casting his face in darkness.
09:37Maybe you should leave it alone.
09:39That night, the nightmares intensified.
09:42I saw Alex standing beside Aunt Clara, both chanting as they advanced toward me.
09:47I awoke to find him gone from bed.
09:49Panic set in.
09:50Alex!
09:51Where are you?
09:53I found him in the basement, standing before the altar, the symbols on the walls pulsating
09:59with a faint glow.
10:00Alex?
10:01What are you doing?
10:04He turned slowly, a sinister smile creeping across his face.
10:09She chose me, Nadia.
10:11It's an honor.
10:13I backed away, fear gripping me.
10:16You're scaring me.
10:18Let's go back upstairs.
10:20He advanced towards me.
10:22Don't you see?
10:23She promised me eternity.
10:26I dashed up the stairs, slamming the door behind me.
10:30My mind raced.
10:31I had to do something.
10:33The journal suddenly made sense.
10:35I frantically searched for a way to reverse the ritual.
10:38Pages stuck together until I found a passage about breaking the connection.
10:43The ritual must have an anchor.
10:46Destroying the anchor would sever the connection.
10:48The locket on the altar.
10:50It had to be the anchor.
10:52Gathering my courage, I headed back to the basement.
10:55But surprisingly, Alex was nowhere in sight.
10:58I grabbed the locket, its metal cold against my skin.
11:02That is when Alex's heavy voice echoed from the stairs.
11:05You can't stop us!
11:07Carefully, I looked up, only to realize that he was sticking like a lizard to the ceiling
11:13of the basement.
11:14I screamed in fear and he lunged at me.
11:16But I dodged, racing up the stairs and out onto the beach.
11:20The moon cast an eerie glow on the restless sea.
11:23I could hear footsteps behind me.
11:26Leave me alone!
11:30He caught up, grabbing my wrist with an iron grip.
11:34It's too late.
11:35She will live again.
11:37Desperate, I yanked free and accidentally hurled the locket into the ocean.
11:42A piercing scream suddenly filled the air, not just from Alex, but layered with Aunt
11:47Clara's voice.
11:49He collapsed onto the sand, convulsing.
11:51I knelt beside him as his breathing steadied, his eyes fluttering open.
11:57Relief washed over me.
11:59We left the beach house that very night, the first rays of dawn breaking as we drove away.
12:05We never returned there.
12:06I put it up for sale and decided to move on.
12:12I had been planning the beach trip for weeks, a chance to unwind before finals and celebrate
12:20turning 21.
12:22My Uncle Robert had offered his luxurious beach house, a modern glass structure perched
12:27on a private stretch of coastline.
12:29It was the perfect getaway, and my friends couldn't wait.
12:33As we pulled up the long driveway, the house stood like a jewel against the backdrop of
12:38waves.
12:39My friend Mia leaned out of the car window in amazement.
12:42Ethan and Liam, our friends from college, unloaded the bags while Sarah, always the
12:47photographer, snapped pictures of everything.
12:51Inside, the house was even more impressive.
12:54Open spaces, sleek furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic ocean views.
13:00We chose our rooms and settled in, laughter filling the halls.
13:04That afternoon, we hit the beach.
13:06The water was perfect, and the stress of school melted away.
13:10Later, as we launched on the deck, Mia frowned at her phone.
13:14That's weird.
13:16Everything okay?
13:18She showed me a photo on her screen.
13:20It was of her, from earlier today, standing on the beach, but the angle was off, as if
13:26taken from a distance.
13:28I didn't take this, and no one else had my phone.
13:32Maybe you took it by accident?
13:34Mia shook her head.
13:36I know my photos.
13:38This wasn't me.
13:40We tried to laugh it off, but an uneasy feeling settled among us.
13:45That evening, Sarah went to shower.
13:47Later, she emerged, wrapped in a robe, her dark hair dripping.
13:51Did someone come into the bathroom?
13:53No.
13:54Why?
13:55My towel's gone.
13:56I took yours.
13:58We searched, but it was gone.
14:01A couple of hours later, a scream echoed from her room.
14:04We rushed in to find Sarah, staring at her bed.
14:08There lay her towel, neatly folded, with a note on top.
14:11I see you.
14:13Ethan's eyes narrowed.
14:15We're funny guys.
14:17We all denied it.
14:18The moon shifted from playful to tense.
14:22That night, as darkness enveloped the house, I heard faint footsteps above.
14:27I sat up in bed, listening.
14:29The steps moved slowly, deliberately.
14:32I nudged Mia, who was sharing the room.
14:35Is there someone on the roof?
14:38We woke the others and sent the boys to investigate, who found nothing.
14:43The next morning, Liam decided to take a swim to clear his head.
14:47When he returned, his face was pale.
14:49Alright, who's messing with me?
14:51He pointed to his shoes, which were hanging atop a tree near the patio.
14:56Ethan glanced around suspiciously.
14:59Could there really be someone spying on us?
15:02Determined to uncover the truth, we agreed to search the house thoroughly.
15:05In one of the guest bedrooms, Ethan noticed the air vent looked tampered with.
15:09Hand me a chair.
15:11He stood up and peered inside, then recoiled.
15:14There's a camera in there.
15:16What?
15:17He pulled out a small device, wires trailing behind it.
15:22Why would there be a camera?
15:25A heavy silence fell.
15:27We gathered in the living room.
15:29Do you think someone's been watching us?
15:31Liam paced.
15:32This is insane.
15:34Who would do this?
15:35Maybe someone broke in.
15:37But there were no signs of forced entry.
15:39The realization hit me like a wave.
15:42What if… what if it's someone we know?
15:47All eyes turned to me.
15:49My uncle has always been… eccentric.
15:54I recalled how eager he was for us to visit.
15:57The odd way he smiled when he handed me the keys.
16:00I don't know, but we need to get out of here.
16:04We hurried to pack our things, but as we approached the front door, it slammed shut.
16:09Uncle Robert stood there, his usually neat appearance disheveled, eyes wild red.
16:17Leaving so soon?
16:19Mr. Hayes?
16:20What's going on?
16:23He smiled eerily.
16:25Just ensuring my guests are entertained.
16:29Ethan stepped forward.
16:31The game's just begun.
16:33Panic set in.
16:34We backed away as he advanced.
16:37Why are you doing this?
16:39He chuckled.
16:40Observation, my dear.
16:42To capture raw emotion, fear, desperation… it's pure art.
16:49Liam lunged, trying to push past him, but Uncle Robert was surprisingly strong, shoving
16:54him back and pulling out a gun.
16:56Now, now.
16:58No need for violence.
17:00Ethan grabbed a lamp, smashing it against the wall that created distraction.
17:04We scattered, racing through the house.
17:07I could hear Uncle Robert's footsteps behind us, his laughter echoing.
17:11I ducked into the study, searching for anything that could help.
17:15On the desk lay a series of photographs, candid shots of us from the weekend, each one more
17:20invasive than the last.
17:23We need to find another way out.
17:24The basement.
17:25There's a door that leads outside.
17:28We regrouped and made our way to the basement.
17:31The room was filled with monitors, displaying live feeds from hidden cameras.
17:36Our every move had been watched.
17:38Sarah covered her mouth, but then Uncle Robert's voice boomed over a speaker.
17:43There's no escape.
17:46Ethan found a metal rod and pried open a small window.
17:49One by one, we crawled out into the night.
17:53Outside the wind howled and the waves crashed violently against the shore.
17:57We sprinted toward the car, but the tires were slashed.
18:01What now?
18:02Headlights appeared in the distance, a car approaching.
18:06Desperate, we waved it down.
18:08He was a police cruiser.
18:09I rushed forward.
18:12Please help us.
18:13My uncle's trying to hurt us.
18:15That is when Uncle Robert emerged from the house.
18:18His face twisted in rage.
18:20You're mine.
18:22The officer got us into the car, radioed for backup, and sped away.
18:27At the station, we learned the truth.
18:29Uncle Robert had a history of voyeurism and psychological manipulation.
18:34The authorities had been tracking him after previous incidents, but he'd always evaded
18:39capture.
18:40I can't believe I didn't see it.
18:42I should have known something was off.
18:45Ethan put his arm around me.
18:47I couldn't have predicted this.
18:49My uncle was imprisoned, but using his pull he got out in just eight months.
18:53He promised that he wouldn't contact us again, but with such a sick person out, there's always
18:59that terrible feeling of being watched upon.
