[00:18.56]City Of The Dead
[00:24.48]死亡城
[00:37.99]After enjoying the whole thing I left the graveyard
[00:41.73]to return home to the flat
[00:44.19]but as I was exiting the cemetery
[00:46.75]I felt something come with me,
[00:49.21]a heavy kind of feeling,
[00:51.53]as if there was something on my back but not physically¹.
[00:56.25]This continued all the way home
[00:58.51]which was quite a long walk.
[01:01.39]When we got there we were the only two in the house,
[01:05.49]save for the cats, or so we thought.
[01:09.12]It wasn't long before I felt something in the house with us,
[01:13.44]like the presence of a man standing² in the kitchen.
[01:17.78]I'm quite sensitive to these things
[01:20.56]so I knew it wasn't my imagination.
[01:23.81]Making my way towards the kitchen,
[01:26.50]carrying the cat because the girl wouldn't come with me,
[01:30.17]I stepped into the hall.
[01:32.49]Now the one thing you should know about this house
[01:36.07]is that it always like a furnace,
[01:39.47]but the cold spot in the hall actually took my breath away,
[01:44.26]it was freezing!
[01:46.13]I refused to go any further
[01:48.43]and went back to the bedroom to sit with the girl.
[01:52.02]The scary thing was
[01:54.02]that she isn't very sensitive to things like this
[01:57.87]but she described to me something
[01:59.88]she felt standing in the hall
[02:02.05]and it matched the description of the man
[02:04.12]I felt in the kitchen.
[02:06.41]This scared the utter hell out of me
[02:10.02]because what I felt was a tall man,
[02:13.55]with long greasy³ hair but I couldn't make out his face.
[02:18.76]To this day I still have no idea what followed me home
[02:23.71]but I was terrified and I'd rather not find out.
