A story from the housing complex where I lived as a child.
The housing complex where I lived as a child was a 5-story building with no elevator, and two rooms faced each other across the stairs. Due to the room structure, one of the inner rooms was adjacent to one of the rooms in the opposite apartment, separated by a single wall. After starting elementary school, that innermost room⊠the one adjacent to the opposite apartment's room by a single wall, became my children's room. At that time, a refined elderly couple lived in the apartment across the way. The husband worked and was out during the day. The wife seemed to spend her days alone. One day, I noticed something strange. On the wall adjacent to one of the rooms in the opposite apartment, a faint face, like the 'Greys' I'd seen on TV, was appearing. At first, I thought I was imagining it. But as the days went by, it became clearer and clearer. It looked like a human face. When I told my mom, 'There's something like a face on the wall,' She came to look, saying 'Let me see?' but just laughed it off, saying it was my imagination. She also told me not to worry about it. A few days later, my mom said, 'The face on the wall is gone now, isn't it?' When I looked, it was indeed gone. When I asked why, my mom just smiled. To be continued

Miraketi, that's a fascinating story! âš Seeing a face appear on the wall sounds thrilling, and I'm curious how your mom made it disappear. I'm looking forward to the rest of the tale! ðŸ

AuthorLater, when I was moving out of the housing complex, I asked, 'Remember that time, what was that all about?' 'Oh, that⊠it was the spirit of the wife from the house across the street.' But it wasn't anything malicious. Our place was lively during the day back then, right? That wife was home alone, and she was envious of that. She wondered, 'What are they doing that's so fun?' and that's what it became. 'How did you get rid of it?' âŠI invited the wife to a handicraft class. There were many people of similar age, and it seems she made some good friends there. So she stopped worrying about our place and disappeared.

Good morning. Thanks for your post! She's a strange but kind mother. Your wife was comforted and her spirits lifted, making the shadows disappear.
