Your Brother's Not Home
source·edited 8 months ago
Was sitting in my room reading a book, facing my open door. Saw my brother walk past into his bedroom next to mine. Heard him close the door.
Thirty seconds later, my dad comes up to my room, ashen-faced. "Where's your brother?" He asks me.
"In his room," I answer without hesitation.
"No he's not." My dad continues to look absolutely horrified. "Your brother's not home."
We check his room. It's empty. We both saw the same whatever it was walk into my brother's room. Still gives me goosebumps.
Edit: For everyone asking, my brother was out with friends. He didn't come home for several hours. It was a second story with a straight drop down and hard-to-open windows, so no chance of a prank or window exit. We didn't tell my brother until we moved to a new house.
Edit 2: My dad got a better look at the thing than I did. He asked where my brother was so that I would have to independently confirm that I'd seen someone, that the someone looked like my brother, and that it had entered my brother's room. He's clever that way.
