A tale of what was supposed to be shortcut home through the old abandoned cornfields, turned into traumatic experience. Fear not the scarecrows but the eyes in the corns for they follow you home.

  Daniel joins the Aurelia Cruise Ship as a deckhand. In his first week, the older crew keeps asking if he's ready for the count. He assumes it's a safety drill tally. Nobody corrects him, and the bosun is strangely gentle with him. On the first fully booked night, he's posted at the aft rail with a veteran named Reyes. A drunk passenger stumbles over, Reyes steps behind him, and the man is gone over the side. "That's one. I’m looking to get half of yesterday’s count" Reyes says, and writes a tick on his wrist with a pen. The sudden realisation hit Daniel on what the count is, and what refusing would make him. He has to stand at the rail every full night, waiting for his turn to either push someone or become the number himself.

  Nobody living in D'Souza Chawl liked walking past the old well after midnight. According to the residents, a woman had fallen into it decades ago and drowned, but the strangest part was that nobody ever recovered her body. One night, a young tenant named Rohan returned home around 2 a.m. when he heard a woman sobbing near the well. He approached cautiously and saw a woman in a bloodstained white sari, standing with her back towards him. Before he could speak, she whispered,   "Have you seen my head?" Rohan froze. The woman slowly turned around, revealing a horrifying sight: her neck ended in a ragged, bloody stump. Thick black liquid trickled down her sari as she dragged one hand along the stone wall. Rohan stumbled backwards and ran into his apartment, locking every door. But moments later, he heard something rolling across his floor. When he switched on the light, a woman's severed head lay beside his bed, its wet hair covering most of its face. Then its eyes open...

   At 11:47 p.m., three friends, Daniel, Michael, and James, were messing around with an Ouija board in Daniel’s living room when someone knocked on the door. Standing outside was a little girl, probably twelve years old, who introduced herself as their neighbor’s daughter. She said she had heard them laughing and wanted to join. They welcomed her in, and the four spent hours asking the board silly questions, telling ghost stories, and daring one another to do ridiculous things. But when the board suddenly spelled out DON’T LET HER LEAVE, the girl stopped smiling. She looked at them and whispered, “Whatever happens tonight, don’t end the game without saying goodbye.” The boys laughed, assuming she was trying to scare them. Eventually, exhausted, they abandoned the board on the floor and fell asleep without saying goodbye. The next morning, the girl was gone. Daniel assumed she had quietly returned home, so later that afternoon, the three friends walked to the neighboring house...

    Daniel woke on his second morning at the campsite convinced someone had planted a tree beside his tent overnight. It stood barely a metre from the entrance, its pale trunk marked with strange horizontal grooves. He mentioned it to his friends, but they laughed, insisting the tree had always been there. By the third morning, another tree had appeared, followed by several more arranged in a perfect circle around their campsite. Daniel began counting them every evening. There had been twelve when they arrived. Now there were twenty-seven, and the circle seemed noticeably smaller. His friends finally grew concerned when they discovered that the trees blocked the path leading back to their car. They tried cutting through the forest, but every direction brought them back to the clearing. That night, Daniel stayed awake, watching the trees through his tent's open flap. Just before dawn, he noticed something impossible: the trees weren't swaying in the wind. They were perfectly st...
