My story is about how my half-whole mask saved my life and continues to save my life to this very day. Late in December, I was traveling north from California to my home state of Oregon. Nothing fancy. I was just going to visit my family for the holidays. On my way north, I hit a small snowstorm. Nothing awful. Just a lot of snow falling all at once.

I wasn't worried about the small increase of snow at first, considering I had snow tires installed before I started my long journey home. I did, however, get a little hesitant to drive when the snow started to really come down. The large amount of falling snow, coupled with a large amount already littering the ground as I traveled higher into the mountains, caused me to consider finding a place to stay for the night. I figured I could get some sleep while the storm passed over. That, and the fact that I could give my car's heater a break before it would decide to burst into flames, or worse, just stopped working altogether.

I scanned as much as a landscape as I could, but there were no buildings in the immediate area. The only other option I had for my predicament was to keep driving and hope there was a town or exit nearby that I could take in order to escape from the storm. I must have been driving for at least an hour before I saw a sign up ahead indicating how far the closest city was. My heart sank a little when I read 162 miles. as it flew by my windshield and vanished into the snowy night. At this point, the snow is beating against my windshield,

and I knew I wasn't going to last 162 minutes, let alone 162 miles. The digital clock on my radio read 121 a.m. And I decided that the next turnoff I saw I would take and hope that I could find a neighborhood that will produce some result in my current endeavor. My thought process was, either freeze the death in my car or stay the night at some random person's house. Awaying the two options in my head, I picked the only thing that same person would pick and go with the house.

Another 30 minutes flew by, and still no luck by any place to pull off. Just when I was staring to lose hope, I saw a turn off in the distance. A small shape started to make its way closer to my headlights. And on further inspection, it was revealed to me that, there were two wooden poles, possibly belonged to a fence. When I turned down to the road between the two wooden poles, the ground beneath me felt rocky and rough, like I was traveling on gravel. I didn't drive for too long before I started to see a small cabin creep into my field of view.

The lights in the cabin were off, but the place seemed to be in good shape. I parked my car under a tall wild-looking tree that took residence in the cabin's front lawn. Getting out of my car, I immediately grabbed my extra jacket and put it on, pulling the half-hole mask I wore around my neck up and over my ears to keep the heat around my face. I put my cap on and trudged up to the cabin after pulling my cap snug on my head. As I traveled through the cold, windy night up to what I felt was my salvation. I immediately regretted not of getting any gloves for my hands. despite the irritation I had with my hands, my face, and the rest of my body were comfortably warm so I didn't have much room to complain.

I stuffed my frozen hands deep in my pockets and continued my journey across the cabin's lawn. As I made my way to the door, I noticed something odd. There was no indication of life anywhere. There wasn't even a car in the front yard. Taking my right hand out of my pocket, I knocked three times, waiting patiently before saying, Hello? Is anyone in there? I'm sorry to bother you so late at night, but I need a place to stay for a few hours. Nothing answered my plea for help, so I knocked three more times on the door,

hitting my knuckles harder against the aged wood at the entrance. Hello? I said again a little louder before continuing with. I'm not here to rob you or anything. I just need a place to stay for the rest of the night. I promise I'll be gone by sunrise. As I finish my sentence, I touched the ornate metal door handle. Noticing that the door seemed to be unlocked, I said in a loud voice,

I'm coming in now. If there's anybody in there, let me know now, please. I pressed the metal lever down, finding it a bit odd that the door was unlocked, and opened the door with little resistance on the other end, closing it behind me with about the same resistance, despite the fact that the door looked really old. Looking around the area, I noticed the cabin at five rooms, the living room, which was the biggest room, a small kitchen, an even smaller washroom, and what I assumed were two small bedrooms

in the back. No lights were on inside the cozy cabin, making it almost pitch dark, if my eyes weren't already adjusted to the darkness from outside. I decided the best thing to do would be to search for a light switch. So I took on my phone and turned on my flashlight app to scan the walls. My scan produced no results, however. And at the risk of losing precious battery power on my phone, I decided the best option would be to turn off the light and put my phone on airplane mode. Before turning off my light, I studied the paintings hanging on the wall that I glossed over in the initial scan. Each painting that crossed my set was just typical landscapes or harbors, things like that.

There was a painting that looked like a fox or something like that, but other than that, it was just typical paintings you would see hanging on walls around an elderly person's home. There was a painting, however, that caught my attention. Painting was small and consisted of what looked like to adults, mother and father, a teenage girl, and a small child. The family captured the painting were wearing what looked like Victorian-era clothing. I'm only guessing about the clothes, I mean, it could have been 1800s or the early 20th century. The point is that the clothing was very or innate and regal.

There was something really disturbing about the image in the painting, though. The faces of each member of the family looked like they were smoothed over with clay. It's kind of hard to describe it, but the three family members looked like they had no facial features. By no facial features, I mean instead of the normal facial features you and I have, the three people in the painting had grooves of smooth flesh where normally you have eye, nose, or mouse. The only person in the painting that didn't possess a blank face was the teenage girl,

which had normal facial features for a teenage girl. In fact, she was quite breathtaking. I pulled myself away from the painting to take a glance at my phone for the time. My phone indicated that it was past two in the morning, so I decided to go out of the back room and check to see if it was occupied. To my relief room was vacant besides a medium-sized bed, ornate dresser, and nightstand. There wasn't much to go by. The walls were blank besides more sappy paintings to give a little more atmosphere. Although there was no indication of a heating system besides a chimney, the rooms were bearable enough that I figured I could just bundle up

and my clothes under the covers in order to stay warm. I was only going to be there for a few hours anyway, so there wasn't much point starting off fire. Plus people on the cabin wouldn't be back tonight considering how late it was. I hopped into the worn-out bed, facing the open door next to another door, I assumed was a closet,

and pulled my half-old mask completely up and over my face to make sure my head would stay nice and warm the rest of the stay. Pulling the fabric of my mask down slightly, I set the alarm on my phone for 4.30 a.m. and put it back down onto the nightstand. I covered my face again and bundled up tightly with the sheets, closing my eyes and letting Dreamland take me away until I woke up after what felt like minutes later. To the sound of scratching. My body froze as I heard the noise over and over again, softly coming from the closed door.

I tried to relax myself by thinking that all the noise that I heard was just a rat or some other animal that was spending the night in the closet while the cabin's owners were away. Quietly, I shifted onto my back, pulling my half-hole mask down slightly, so a little slit appeared, giving me a small window to look at while I was out there. I laid on the bed stiff as a board, with my cap and mask covering my face in such a way that it acted like a visor, giving me a small peek at what was in the darkness. Thankfully, my eyes were still adjusted to the dark,

which gave me a small amount of reassurance as I continued looking into the direction the scratching noise was coming from. The scratching continued louder and louder for what seemed like minutes, till just like that, it stopped. Silence filled the room again. But it wasn't a safe kind of silence. The deafening silence in the room was a foreboding ominous sort of silence. The vacuumous sound in the air was the type of silence that happened. in a movie just before something jumps out at you. But when I began to comb myself down the doorknob to the closet began to jingle and turn very

slowly. My heart was racing out of my chest as I saw and heard that knob turn. And every inch of my body wanted to bolt out of that bed and out of the cabin before whatever was on the other side of that door got out after me. I lay perfectly still on the bed despite the fact that I had a cocktail of. adrenaline, nerves, and instincts telling me to get the hell out of there. My eyes widened as the door to the closet opened slightly, and I saw what looked like a dried head attached to an elongated neck pop out of the opening, followed by a skeletal body.

The thing that was emerging from the closet crawled on all four hours out of the doorway and slowly made its way to the bed I was sleeping. I had never been more frightened in my whole entire life as the thing stood up, almost touch in the roof of the cabin, and looked down in my direction. The creature stood there studying me as I peeped through the thin slit of my mask, pure terror swirling around in my mind as I glanced up at the body of the creature. Looking at the creature's skeletal face, I noticed that it had no eyes in its eye sockets, which led me to believe it couldn't see me even though I could see it. Just when the idea of it not being able to see me started to give me a little comfort,

The creature began to speak. The creature whispered softly as it continued to watch me. And began to speak again. The creature continued to say in a hoarse tone as it began to breathe loudly, continuing to look at me and gripping down on the edge of my bed. Feeling the creature's bony hand touched the edge of my bed caused my brain to go into a complete panic mode. The only thing that stopped me from jumping up was

I thought that maybe the creature believed I was dead or asleep and wouldn't attack. The thing said through clenched teeth before loudly gasping and suddenly pulling back with its mouth open and an expression that seemed like fear. The creature said again, but this time louder than before and slightly more threatening. It has no face! The creature shouted as it backed off further away from the bed. I heard the thing breathing loudly and quickly before calming down and slowly returning to the side of the bed. Over me slowly, the creature continued to look at me before softly beginning to breathe in my face. I could smell its foul breath even through my mask.

The smell was so powerful that it took all my strength not to gag as reflex to the awful stench. In my mind I made the choice to keep motionless and not do or say anything. I could compromise whatever illusion I was giving the thing that was currently studying me. The creature breathed on me again softly. The stench I smelled from its breath could only be described as pure death. Which only strength in my resolve to stay perfectly motionless, then whispered at me again, leaning in close to me to the point where I could see and smell its decaying flesh. You slowly reached for me, its hands slowly moving towards my face.

With every inch that decaying hand move, I couldn't help but feel my situation becoming more and more dire. I thought that this was it for me. Your creature would kill me tonight, or take me away and torture me then kill me. no one would know what happened to me. No one would find my body out here. No one would know my story. I could feel tears start to swell up in my eyes as I thought of everyone I ever loved

being yanked away from me in this one moment. The creature softly chanted as its hands crept ever closer to my face. I could hear the anguish in the creature's voice as it continued chanting over and over as it reached for me. As a creature's long, bony hand crept only centimeters of it. away from my face, I braced myself for the worst, making the last thoughts I would ever have about the person who I loved. Just as I thought my life was all over, a sudden loud noise erupted from the room, filling the ear closest to the nightstand with a flood of beeps, causing the creature to scream and jump back. As the noise continued the creature threw itself

back against the wall, shrieking uncontrollably in terror, as it stumbled towards a closet. I was dumbstruck for a second before the thought came to me that had set my alarm for 4.30 a.m. It must have been the source of the noise. I jumped out of the bed, grabbing my phone and pointing the lit-up screen at the monster as the alarm continued to ring loudly. The loud ringing cause the monster to shriek even more in confusion and terror as it retreated quicker as I approached. Seeing my chance, I activated my phone's flashlight and put it on strobe in order to disorient the monster further. No face, no face, no face.

The creature shrieked at me as it withdrew to the safety of my closet. I continued to shine my light on the creature and for added effect I started playing loud music as I continued to jab my phone in the monster's direction like a lion tamer. The thing threw itself into the dark recesses of the closet and I shoved the door back locking it after I slammed a closed. The shrieks coming from the monster started to get fainter and fainter. like it was retreating deeper into the house. Face, no face, it has no face. I could hear the creature yell out as it got further and further away. After hearing the last retreating words of the thing that terrified me the whole night,

I bolted from the cabinet breakneck speed, jumping into my car and floored it off the gravel road. I was shaking all over as I drove. And when I pulled my half-hole mask further down, my exposed skin was as white as the snobes. know that littered the ground. I was so frightened by the whole experience. As soon as I pulled up into the first town I saw, I parked my car and began to sob uncontrollably

for a while. The experience that I'd just been through would scar me for life. But as I wept in my car in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven, I couldn't help but start to laugh a little in between my fits of crying. I got through my ordeal without so much as a scratch on me. Besides my mental scars. I was fine. I was alive and I didn't have to worry anymore.

After I finished my whole episode of crying and laughing like an insane person, I entered the store sniffling and wiping away the rest of my tears. As I continued into the store, the cashier looked up at me and traced my direction with his eyes before continuing with what he was doing. The store was mostly empty, besides an elderly couple. I was the only customer in there. Have a rough night? The cashier said with one eyebrow cocked up while he scanned my items.

You have no idea. I said looking out the window at the sunny winter day. Notice he seemed a little bit upset when you came in. What happened? Did you get dumped or something? He said looking up at me as a register computed how much I owed him. Looking at the young man behind the register, he seemed to be a little younger than I was.

Although, that doesn't say much because even though I'm 22, I look younger than my actual age. I looked at the cashier's name take for a second before feeling that I had nothing to lose by telling him about the night I just had. The small name on his ID tag read Evan, and as I finished telling him my frightening tale, something odd happened. I expected him to burst out laughing or say I was the best liar he'd ever talk to. Instead of doing any of that, Evan just stood there. His skin milk white as he stared at me with an expression so horrified.

He gave me the impression that he'd just witness someone get run over by a train or something. Evan, are you all right? I asked, looking into his eyes while we both stood there quiet. What? Oh, yeah, it's just, Evan began to say before his thoughts trailed. off due to the new feeling that we were both being watched. I began to feel eyes burn into the back of my head before turning around to see the old couple I glanced at when I entered the store beforehand. The old couple possessed the same horrified look that Evan had just a few seconds ago.

They must have heard the whole story I told. After a few moments of silence, the old couple asked me what I knew about the cabin. I couldn't really say. I gave them the best description I could about what I saw. The couple proceeded to tell me about the cabin, how long it's been there, and that it was haunted by a present so terrifying. The place was condemned and left a rod away after so many people disappeared there. They told me that no one who ever stayed in that cabin has ever been seen alive again, if they've ever been seen at all after their visit.

One of my best friends stayed the night in that cabin. Evan said quietly as he stared off into the distance, but continuing to be seen. his thought with. I refused to go into the cabin. I knew something bad would happen if we went. I tried so hard to convince him that the deer was stupid and did not go in, but he refused to be labeled as a chicken. He continued with the dare.

His eyes began to water as he continued with his story. I never saw him again after that night. I kept calling his house, but his parents still couldn't find him. We put out flyers and billboards, but we never had any luck. After a few days we contacted the police and I told him about the cabin. Evan began to choke down tears as he clenched his fist. They found him in the basement of the cabin sprawled out on the floor. His eyes were surgically removed from their eye sockets.

His nose was removed. And his lips? They were sliced off. When they found him, he was naked with an incision from the bottom of his rib cage to his pelvis down the middle of his body. All of his internal organs were extracted from his body. Just to add insult to injury, his genitals were sliced clean off. He was put in Victorian-era clothing, and there were three other bodies in a similar state to him. But you want to know the worst part of it all? When the police did an autopsy on the body, they found that he was still alive during the whole process.

Evan winced as he remembered the whole gruesome sight and said, They never found who, or what, did it. There was no DNA evidence to convict anybody. They didn't find the tools that made the incisions, and they didn't find anything. Evan clenched his fist tighter on the table before the old man listening to our conversation put his hand on Evan's shoulder to reassure him that he was going to be all right. As he comforted Evan, he looked at me and said, people have been disappearing from that area for decades, maybe even centuries for all we know.

But the bodies always end up the same gruesome way. I don't care who you are. No one deserves something like that happening to them. They should just torch that place to the ground. The old lady joined her husband's side and looked at me with the most foreboding glance I had ever seen. If your story is true, You should consider yourself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. In all my years of living, you are the only one to go into that cabin and come out alive.

The woman said, gripping onto her husband's hand tightly as she spoke to him. After hearing the old woman's words, I realized that Evan said the body of his friend was found in the basement, which explains why the monster's voice got fainter. It would have pulled me into the basement if my phone hadn't gone off. I quickly paid for my items and left the store more trouble now than I was when I entered. Feeling drowsy due to the lack of sleep and constant adrenaline rush caused by my whole terrible ordeal, I decided to go to a hotel and spend the days sleeping and relaxing to get my mind off things. That night I sat on the bed in my hotel room and looked at the two items that saved my life.

In one hand I gripped onto my half-hole mask, which hid my face from that terrible monster. In my other hand, I held my cell phone, which scared away that horrible beast that could have killed me. I decided from that day on I would always wear my half-hole mask to bed. It saved my life. That's the least I can do for it. The recent brush with death I just experienced it taught me that life is too precious to waste. So I decided to ask my best friend Samantha out on a date. And things worked out perfectly.

Samantha and I were together for two years before I recently asked for her handed marriage when she said yes Part of me will never forget that awful night and because of it not only have I been wearing my half-hole mask to bed every night since then But I've also made it a priority not to live in any type of house that has a basement And as an added safety measure I started locking every door before going to bed It's a pain But you can never be too careful

Despite these crazy precautions, Samantha has accepted my little quirks and has continued to be supportive as we continue her journey through life together. I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out in my life. And I'm so lucky to be with Samantha. Everything's perfect. There's just one thing that bothers me. I think that I might just have to blame my imagination. But sometimes when I wake up at night, and it's really quiet. Sometimes I'll hear soft scratching noises.

also, and I think it's just paranoia, but I swear. Sometimes I hear something whisper from inside my closet.
