Short Stories Before Bed (Horror)

Amelia The Malang

In a remote village surrounded by dense forest, there is an old house that is famous among the locals as a haunted house. Inside the house lived an old girl who had a terrible reputation.

Her name is Amelia, a woman who has lived alone in the house for decades. It is said that Amelia used to be a beautiful and happy girl, but bad luck hit her. He lost his family in a tragic car accident on a dark and foggy night, where they met their end.

After the incident, Amelia became isolated and depressed. He begins to show signs of an unstable personality, and people in the village consider him a lunatic. However, what was most frightening was his strange behavior at sunset.

Every time the sun started to set and the sky turned a dark orange color, Amelia would suddenly shout hysterically. His shout shook the soul and made the people who heard it creep. His voice sounded like an indescribable scream of pain and fear.

Of course, word of Amelia spread throughout the village, and people were so afraid that no one dared to come near her house, especially at night. The villagers believe that there is an evil spirit occupying Amelia's body, and her presence brings a terrible curse to anyone who approaches her.

Some brave people try to approach Amelia's house only to leave flowers or food on her doorstep, hoping to bring a bit of luck into their lives. However, no one dared to stay near his house after sunset.

One night, a young man named Daniel moves to the village. He heard about Amelia and was curious about the stories. Despite opposition from the villagers, Daniel decides to try to unravel the mystery behind Amelia and her strange behavior.

Daniel tried to call Amelia in a soft voice, hoping to build trust with her. However, the old girl continued to shout and seemed increasingly obsessed with her unspoken pain and fear.

Unexpectedly, the moment his shout reached the peak of fear, all the light in the village suddenly went out. There was only complete darkness and the sound of the scream grew louder and more painful. Daniel was frightened and shocked, not knowing what was happening.

However, when the light finally returned, Amelia suddenly stopped screaming and her eyes looked sharply at Daniel. His face suddenly turned cruel and frightening. With eyes twinkling in the darkness, Amelia stepped at a slow pace, towards Daniel who was fixated in fear.

Daniel tried to run away, but his steps came to a halt when he heard Amelila whispering in a trembling voice, "You have freed me from this dark prison. Now, you're the new host here."

And from that night, the villagers never heard Amelia's screams again, and the missing Daniel was never found. Amelia's monstrous presence only leaves a terrifying trail in the village and becomes a horror story remembered years later.
