Ghost dragged her out by the hair and we watched it happen in real time

okay I wasn't going to post this but I overheard this at a 24hr Lotteria while I was hiding from the heat (no AC in my studio, it's genuinely unlivable in summer). two college girls at the next table were telling this story and I cannot stop thinking about it.

so. eight friends rent a pension for a one-night trip. cheap. suspiciously cheap. clean facilities tho so everyone's like whatever, let's just have fun.

they stay up late eating and drinking and being loud, and eventually four of them tap out and crawl to the other room to sleep. the remaining four (including the girl telling the story) keep hanging out.

then.

THEN.

one of the girls who went to sleep slowly... crawls back out. on all fours. creeping. and she goes straight to the fridge sitting between the bedroom door and the front door and starts SLAMMING HER HEAD INTO IT. bam. bam. bam. then crawls back into the room.

at first they laughed. like okay sleepwalking, funny, whatever. but then she crawled back out. and did it again. bam bam bam. back inside. crawled out again. bam bam bam.

and nobody was laughing anymore.

they finally grabbed her and shook her awake. she immediately started SOBBING. like uncontrollably. for a long time. then she dragged herself into a corner of their room and passed out there. nobody wanted to be alone after that so they all just... slept in the same room.

next morning on the way home they asked her what happened.

all four of them went quiet.

turns out all FOUR people in that room got sleep paralysis at the exact same time. and all four of them saw the same thing. a woman. long tangled hair covering her face. standing there.

the ghost looked around at all four of them, like she was picking. and then she grabbed the one girl by the hair and started DRAGGING HER OUT OF THE ROOM.

the girl fought back. she couldn't control her body properly but she was resisting, and every time she slammed into the fridge the ghost lost her grip and she'd scramble back inside. then get dragged out again. over and over.

the other three? frozen. paralyzed. completely awake inside, completely unable to move. just watching their friend get dragged back and forth by something they couldn't stop.

the pension had unusually cheap rent btw.

just saying.
