Nightfall Crypt
What began as a night of sledding fun turned into a nightmare none of us could explain. We ventured beyond the hill into what we thought was a construction site—but what we found there was terrifying. Chased by strangers, haunted by whispers, and hunted through the dark… the place was gone by morning. This is our story.

Transcript
00:00Winter break always felt like magic, especially at our big family cabin in the ski town,
00:06far from city lights high on snow-drenched hills.
00:10That night, all seven of us cousins, buzzing on cocoa and the thrill of freedom, headed out
00:16sledding after 8pm. The grown-ups were drunk, the stars were out, and the world felt endless.
00:24We didn't know that we'd stumble into something that was never supposed to be found,
00:31something that wasn't there in the morning, something watching.
00:38Have you ever felt unseen eyes watching you in the dark?
00:42Welcome to Nightfall Crypt, where shadows whisper, the unknown lingers,
00:48and every story is waiting for you to listen, if you dare.
00:52It started as harmless fun. We screamed, slid, and raced down the icy slopes for almost an hour.
01:02Then T, always the daredevil, brought up the construction site, a place being built beyond
01:08the ridge. We were 13, 14, maybe the oldest was 15. We wanted to explore, and so we did.
01:17Crossing over the hill took nearly 30 minutes. We passed a small cabin, dark and still.
01:27None of us remembered seeing it before. Beyond it were five skeletal houses, two complete without
01:34windows, one halfway built, two just basements. We scattered, playing, our laughter echoing off wooden
01:43frames. Then, headlights. A truck pulled up slowly. No sound except the crunch of tires.
01:54Panic hit instantly. Two cousins S and V bolted back toward the cabin. The rest of us ducked into
02:01hiding, me and Kay under the staircase of an unfinished porch. T, J, and A fled into one of the complete
02:08structures. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Three sets of footsteps. One heavy and dragging. A man.
02:17One lighter. Maybe a woman. And another with a strange rhythm. Another man.
02:24We held our breath. Minutes ticked by. Then a voice. Come out.
02:28A woman's voice. Sweet. Sing-song. And wrong.
02:36Silence returned. Then a low, revving noise.
02:41Jay would later swear it was a chainsaw. I couldn't tell.
02:46But the sound vibrated through the floor. Unnatural and threatening.
02:51Kay and I barely had time to react when we heard footsteps coming directly down to our hiding spot.
02:57A shape appeared in the dim light.
03:01She grabbed my arm. Her nails, long, sharp, dirty, dug into my skin.
03:06I screamed and bit her, hard, tasting blood. She shrieked, and we ran. Behind us, her voice
03:13called out something guttural. Then, three sets of footsteps thundered after us. Fast. Too fast.
03:20I saw a knife glinting in one man's hand.
03:24We sprinted toward the hill. The truck lights cut off. T slipped. He just vanished into the darkness.
03:32No time to turn back. The rest of us kept running, our lungs burning. Snow whipped at our faces.
03:39I kept looking back, expecting to see figures. But there was only black.
03:44We made it home, sobbing and breathless. S and V were waiting. Our parents, now sobered by our terror,
03:56grabbed flashlights, weapons, anything. With V guiding them, the adults headed out to the site.
04:04They left us wrapped in blankets, crying, eyes glued to the windows.
04:11Two hours passed. My aunt and cousin returned. Alone.
04:17There's nothing there, she whispered. No truck. No road. No construction. Just snow and woods.
04:26They thought we'd imagined it. That it was a prank. But we hadn't.
04:34At dawn, T came back. His face pale, lips cracked, jacket torn. He said he kept running,
04:42deeper into the woods. He swore they whispered to him all night. The girl with the voice. The boy with
04:48the knife. The man with the chainsaw. He remembered the road. The buildings. But no one ever
04:56found them again. The police searched. Satellite maps showed nothing. Not even a permit for a build.
05:05We all remembered it. Seven kids with matching stories. Yet there was no proof. No scars from her
05:12nails. No tracks. No road. Just the snow. And the questions that still haunt us. So tell me.
05:20Have you ever gone somewhere that disappeared the next day? Or worse? Have you been called back?
05:29And so, the shadows stretch further. And the mystery only deepens. But this is far from the end.
05:37It's merely the beginning. What lingers beyond the door? Who is whispering your name?
05:44And what is that shifting in the corner of your eye?
05:48The answers await in the next chapter of these chilling tales.
