At the time he was standing, Greg wanted to call the police, but he just picked up the phone and put it down. He didn’t know what to tell to the police; was he going to tell the police that there was a man in a shabby hoodie wandering near his home?

Obviously, this case would not be taken for this reason, not to mention that Greg had burned those wooden triangles, and there was no evidence to prove to the police that someone had harassed his daily life. But Greg didn’t want to stay here anymore. He locked the doors and windows and planned to take a walk by the lake.

All at once Greg remembered that he started to deal with this house a few months ago after his grandfather passed away. Maybe in the months when he was absent, someone had already lived in this house. Now Greg had arrived, so this nobody had to leave. Maybe Greg caused trouble to this kind of homeless people.

He thought about everything for a long time by the lake. Before he knew it, it was dark. He had to go back to his grandfather’s house, but he was so scared that he did not dare to live any longer. After thinking about it, Greg decided to live in a motel that night.

But just as he was driving away, he saw the same person he had seen during the daytime.

This time Greg was very close to that strange person. He seemed to see that person’s appearance ; that was a woman. At this moment, Greg suddenly realized that this woman couldn’t see him. To be precise, although it was already dark, but this woman was still wearing big and dark sunglasses. She stretched out her hands, seemingly unaware of what was ahead. Greg didn’t dare to move and speak out. He secretly took out his cell phone and wanted to take photos as evidence. After taking a few photos, Greg quickly ran back to his grandfather’s house and went to his room on the second floor. When he looked out the window, the woman was gone.

That night, Greg called the police. After the police arrived, Greg showed the police the photos he had taken and the strange wooden triangle he found in the past days. Greg knew what he said sounded crazy, but the police comforted him saying that they would send someone to investigate this case next morning.

After this incident, Greg never dared to go out again. He locked all the doors and windows, gave up the idea of going to the motel, stayed in his grandfather’s house all night, and obviously, he did not sleep well.

Leaving this house for good is his biggest wish for him now.

On the last day of October, Greg updated his tweet again. He said that in the past two days, the police came to his house to do some investigation, but there was no substantial progress. The police kept asking Greg if he knew the strange woman in the photo. Greg felt like the police seemed to be suspicious of him. Moreover, the police said that the charge would be at most deliberately destroying other people’s property. These wooden triangles could not be used as direct evidence, and it would be difficult for the police to convict this woman.

After the police left, Greg stayed alone in his grandfather’s house. He was deeply surrounded by loneliness and fear. His grandpa’s house was in a remote location and it was impossible for him to ask a friend to accompany him immediately. Greg decided to go out and have a look. Maybe he could find some other clues.

The strange thing was that there was no car on the parking lot in the park near Grandpa’s house. In such a remote place, you couldn’t get here without driving. In other words, the surrounding houses were all uninhabited, so he was ready to go back.

When he passed by the small lake, he remembered there was a small boat parked in the middle of the lake last time. At first, Greg thought that the people on the boat must be fishing. This time Greg observed the boat for a long time, but the boat remained motionless in the same place until dark. If there was no one around, where did the boat come from, and who drove the boat to the middle of the lake?

The next morning, when Greg went to check on the lake again, the boat was gone. He found a gleaming little stone by the lake. He walked over and picked it up. After a closer look, the stone was round like a human eyeball. Greg quickly threw it away and returned home to wash his hands. He slumped on the sofa and recalled what happened in the past few days. He had an instinct that something strange must have happened or was happening around his grandfather’s house. After October 31, Greg disappeared for five days. No one knew what happened in these five days until Greg showed up again.

On November 6, Greg finally updated his Twitter. He said that he was haunted by nightmares every night. When Greg slept every night, he could hear strange sounds in the jungle, like the sound of wild deer, and the sound of human beings who spoke a language he didn’t understand. Greg had been consoling himself with the idea that maybe it was just a small animal in the forest, until one day he saw more than one dark shadow in his yard. Greg couldn’t bear it anymore, he wanted to uncover the truth of all this.

After all, for a person living in an isolated place alone, house security is the most important thing.

What he couldn’t understand was that he just wanted to sell his grandfather’s house, but after all these things he had encountered since he moved in, Greg started to wonder if all of this was designed by someone.

Then he suddenly thought of the notebook that he found in the forest. There was some faint writing on the last page of the notebook…

Greg thought of pencils and charcoal, if he painted charcoal on the last page. Maybe the blurry handwriting could be made clearer, but he searched his grandfather’s house and found no charcoal or pencil. However, it was time to buy some daily necessities anyway, so Greg drove to the town and bought charcoal in a hardware store. But the strange thing was that at the door of this hardware store, he was teased by a group of children who were surrounding Greg and laughing at him. Greg couldn’t help but had a strange feeling. He had the feeling that all the residents of the town seemed to know him, but he had never seen these people before.

Greg is a man with a college degree. He did not believe that there are anythings in this world that science cannot explain, but after these days, Greg began to doubt his belief.

Before leaving the town, Greg went to the grocery store again to buy some food, but he found that shops in the town had been short of some goods for a long time. For example, in the shops, eggs were never available.

After returning home from the town, Greg took out the notebook and smeared charcoal on the last page, but the words appeared pushed Greg into another abyss. There was only one repeated sentence on the page, ‘They took my eyes’.

Greg was really frightened. He was already sure that all of this was not a prank, and there were no homeless people around his house. He was really targeted by someone. Greg began to recall everything that had happened these days, thinking about what he might have missed, and maybe he could find something new by putting all the pieces together.
