Short Stories Before Bed (Horror)
Ojek Base
This haunted ojek base is located on a quiet street corner, right on the outskirts of the city. Famous as a place that is less friendly, residents always feel there is something strange with this base. Horrible stories often circulated among them.
The story begins on a dark and windy night. An ojek rider named Budi rode his motorcycle to this base. Budi was a brave young man who did not trust too many haunted stories. However, that night, he felt something was amiss.
Upon arriving at the base, he saw another ojek rider sitting in a dark corner of the base. The rider's face was covered in a mask and a black robe hanging from his body. He felt uncomfortable, but he did not want to show fear.
"Can I help you?" ask the mysterious driver. However, the rider simply nodded wordlessly. Budi felt something strange, and he began to think whether the spooky stories about this base were indeed true.
Budi takes his passengers to the destination quickly, trying not to think about the mysterious rider earlier. However, when he returned to the base, the rider was still there, sitting in the same corner.
This happened again the following nights. Every time Budi came to the base, the mysterious rider was always there, without speaking, only nodding as a sign that he wanted to ride the ojek. Budi got more scared and felt that there was something unnatural with the rider.
Budi finally decided to find out more about this haunted ojek base. He started asking the locals, and they told him horrible stories about this base. Some say that the mysterious rider is a guardian spirit who cannot return to other realms. Others talk about the evil rituals that once took place there.
The deeper Budi investigated this haunted ojek base, the more secrets were revealed before him. Now, he began to understand why this place had become haunted and was filled with spooky stories.
When the night turns night, Budi took the time to talk to the surrounding population. They tell stories that make my hair goosebumps. One of the residents, Mbah Joko, a wise grandfather in the village, is the main source of information about the past of the ojek base.
Mbah Joko recounts that this base used to be a hideout for a very violent group of robbers. They committed a series of horrific crimes, including the murder and torture of their victims. They used this base as their base of operations and kept the stolen treasures inside.
"Tales of mysterious riders that often appear there," said Mbah Joko, "are the victims of the robbery who can't go home quietly. They are caught between the living world and the spirit world, bound by the pain and injustice they experience."
I was shocked to hear this story. He feels increasingly responsible for unraveling the mystery behind this ojek base. He decides to find out more about the true history of this robbery.
While Budi investigated further, he heard stories from an eyewitness who survived one of their attacks. These eyewitnesses described how the robbers coldly killed their victims, never showing mercy. They used the ojek base as their secret meeting place, a place where they planned their heinous actions.
One eyewitness who survived was an ojek rider named Mas Hadi. He was a middle-aged man who had very traumatic memories of the ojek base. Budi managed to meet Mas Hadi and listen to the sorrowful story of the past he experienced.
Mas Hadi recounted how he fell victim to the robbery of "Black Plates" many years ago. They ambushed him near the ojek base and kidnapped him. He was tortured and held hostage for days before finally escaping.
"I always felt there was negative energy at the base of the motorcycle," said Mas Hadi, "It was the place where I almost lost my life, and I can feel it every time I pass there."
After listening to the story of Mas Hadi, Budi increasingly convinced that the base of this ojek is indeed filled with negative energy that comes from dark memories of the past. He felt that he had to do something to end this curse and give peace to the spirits trapped there.
Budi decides to seek the help of a local psychic who has experience in cleaning up places that are considered haunted. They work together to understand how to communicate with the spirits trapped at the base of the ojek.
They perform special rituals at the base, trying to communicate with the spirits. They burn incense and recite ancient spells. During the ritual, the atmosphere around the base became increasingly tense. The wind blew fiercely, and they felt an invisible presence.
Eventually, they manage to communicate with one of the spirits of the robbery victims. The spirit tells the story of the suffering he endured and the hatred that has left him trapped in a world between life and death. The local mind and psychic gently reassure the spirit that it is time to escape its hatred and pain.
After some time, the spirit finally felt ready to go home. They felt that the negative energy that had been haunting the ojek base had started to disappear. The ritual successfully cleanses this place of dark memories of the past.
As time went on, the atmosphere at the ojek base began to change. The mysterious monstrous rider never appeared again, and the surrounding citizens were relieved. The base eventually became a safe and friendly place for motorists and passengers. However, memories of the horrific nights that once took place there will always haunt those who have seen the mysterious rider.
