The Supernatural III: Cupboards
I was in England five years ago with a friend, and we shared a hotel room the first night. It was a lovely hotel and our room was big. It had two very comfortable beds , and opposite the beds was a white cupboard. I opened it to take a look. It was empty. I was hoping there would be extra pillows that I could hug to sleep, but to my disappointment, there were none. Since we were only there for a night, we didn't bother to unpack our luggages. We had a good night sleep until the next morning, when I was awakened by little tapping sounds coming from inside the cupboard. My friend heard it too. I wasn't afraid as our room was already very bright at that time of day, so I went to the cupboard and opened it. It was as empty as the last time I saw it.
Then I listened to where the tappings came from. They came from a plank near the top of the cupboard. I bravely touched the bottom of the plank, and I felt slight movements on it. It felt like someone was lightly pressing on the plank at regular intervals. I quickly closed the cupboard and told my friend what I felt. She nearly freaked out. Luckily, we were moving to stay with a lady that afternoon. By the time we arrived at her house, it was getting dark.
Once inside the house, we were given a cosy room (not as big as the hotel room, though) to stay . There was two single beds and yes, another cupboard. A dark brown antique cupboard, which had a door that couldn't close properly. This time, it was beside one of the beds (mine, unfortunately). I didn't want to open it. We unpacked, and went down for dinner. After dinner, we retreated back to our room and chit-chatted on our beds. A while later, my friend went to the other end of the room to answer a phone call. I remained seated on my bed and started to read a book while waiting for my friend.
Then I heard it. It was coming from the cupboard. It sounded like a man groaning in pain. It let out a few more groans. My friend was too busy talking to hear it. I really didn't know (even now) how I found the courage to yank open the cupboard. Inside was two old computers and heaps of wires. Surprisingly, the sound stopped the moment the cupboard was opened. I quickly closed it and tried not to think about it and focused on the book. Alas, I kept thinking about the sound. I kept replaying the sound in my head, and kept asking myself whether I really heard it. To my dismay, I was sure I really heard it. I didn't tell my friend about it and I don't intend to tell her as she'll really freak out.
That night, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that a white seal with vampire fangs came out from the cupboard and chased me around the room. It had bloodshot eyes and a very evil look on its face. It was so scary that I cried out in my sleep and that woke me up. I had a hard time going back to sleep after that. All I could think of was the seal and it's fangs. The next morning, I pretended nothing happened. Luckily, the next few days were very peaceful, but what happened that dreadful night has stayed with me up till now.
