This man's name is Ram. He was a salaried employee who had just turned 25 a few days ago. And today he had planned that tomorrow he would go to dinner with the gang of close friends he had studied with since college. But the dream had to be extinguished. Because a phone call came in
[I'm sorry. For making us go to work suddenly like this]
"It's okay. I understand."
[I'm counting on you. Thank you very much.]
From planning to go out to eat, and it turned out that he had to immediately pack his bags and prepare to go to a work meeting in another province.
"Sigh~ That's bad." Ram could only sigh and be unwilling to pack up his things.
The next day, Ram will have to travel to a meeting in another province. He opened the zipper to check the contents of his bag while waiting for him to leave the house.
"Woof!!!" The dog's voice caught his attention before something jumped at him with full force. "Richie, don't jump at me like that."
Richie is the name of a Golden Retriever. He's just over 2 years old. He's a good kid. Obedient and adorable Ram adopted Richie a year ago. He got it on his birthday when he was 24 years old. At first, he didn't plan on getting it because his apartment was small and there was no room for him to play. But because it was so cute, Ram couldn't resist, so in the end he had to adopt him.
Ram glanced at the wall clock attached to the wall and saw that it was already close to 7 o'clock.
"Damn, it's late. Let's go, Richie. I'm going to buy you a souvenir." He raised his hand and gently stroked its head before hurriedly picking up the things and walking out, not forgetting to turn on the pet camera to observe while he was away.
Ram walked to the bus stop to travel to nearby transportation. From transportation to the destination province, it takes more than 8 hours. When he was on the bus, he could only sleep because last night it was already 4:00 a.m. by the time he was able to sleep. Because on the day of the meeting today, he had work to do. It was finished within the day, so he had to sit and work on it all night until almost morning.
When we arrived at the hotel, we got off the bus and walked towards the exit. We looked for the car of the hotel where I was staying and found it parked next to the exit.
He walked straight onto the bus and waited for it to depart. Meanwhile, Ram turned on his mobile phone and waited for the time. Then I suddenly remembered something. Ram opened the pet camera application to look at Richie.
When I came to look, I found Richie sleeping in front of the fan. It's like it was asleep. Satisfied, he closed the app and soon the bus he was sitting on moved away.
After about half an hour we arrived at the hotel. As soon as the bus stopped, we immediately walked off the bus before going into check-in.
"This is Mr. Phakawat's key card." Ram took the key card and led himself along the way the staff told him to until he reached his room on the 8th floor. He used the key card to open the room and swept his eyes. Look around to explore. The hotel room is a suite room decorated in gray-blue tones with small gold accents, similar to the color of the hotel's front sign. At the end of the bed was a gray-blue king-sized bed with a light gray work desk.
Looking at it, it's very luxurious.
Ram placed the things on the side of the bed and lay down on the bed before picking up his phone and pressing into the pet camera application to take another look at Richie. When I came to look, I found that Richie was having fun playing with toys in front of the camera.
Ram turned on the speaker to talk to Richie on the other side. "Richie, how are you? Are you lonely?"
Richie heard the sound of his owner wagging his tail and immediately ran towards the camera. "Woof!!"
"Hahaha, I'm so happy. Please be patient. Dad will be back soon." When he finished speaking, he immediately clicked out of the app. Soon a call came in. Ram looked at the number and recognized it as the number of the secretary who held this meeting.
He answered before a voice came from the other end of the phone.
[Hello, are you Mr. Phakhawat?]
"Yes I'm Phakhawat"
[I am Somchai Secretary Khun Napat, the owner of the event. I will call to confirm tomorrow's meeting. Did Mr. Phakhawat agree to the meeting?]
"Confirm."
[So, tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning at the Nariphat Convention Center in Building A, room three zero four one]
"Understood. See you tomorrow."
[Yes], as soon as he hung up the phone, Ram's eyes glanced at the time in the left corner and saw that it was now 5:00 p.m. hasn't eaten since he got here. So, he let's go find something to eat.
Ram turned to pick up his bag and walked straight out of the hotel while using his cell phone to look for a nearby restaurant. It didn't take long to find a restaurant that looked delicious. Plus, the store seems to be nearby too. From here it is only ten minutes away.
Ram walked down the aisle and turned on his GPS to see the store's address. He walked for a while and finally arrived. Ram stopped and looked at the sign in front of the store before switching to checking the name of the store on his phone. When he saw that they were the same, he went into the store. As I looked around, I found that there were quite a few people inside the store.
"How many customers are there?" This young female employee walked in and greeted me. "Uh…one.".
"Then please come this way." The female attendant led the way to an empty table at the end. He sat down and picked up the menu book and looked at it before ordering food. While waiting for food, I played with my mobile phone and went to the pet camera application to look at Richie.
When I clicked on the camera, I found that Richie was not there. He kept pressing to change the camera and found it until he had to change to look at the security camera instead until he found that Richie was in the corridor as if he was sitting and looking at the storage room door.
Ram saw this and frowned before switching to the pet camera application and turning on the speaker to call out to him.
"Richie!!" As soon as Richie was called, he immediately got up, wagged his tail, and ran towards the camera. "Woof!"
"What we're looking at just now? Richie"
"Woof!" Richie barked once before turning back to the storage room in the corridor running straight and stopping in front of the storage room before barking stubbornly. It looks towards the camera alternating with the storage room.
"Woof!" Ram saw it and frowned again. Having said that, there was nothing in that room.
"The food is ready." While thinking about something, the food I ordered just arrived. He alternately looked at Richie on the screen. And it seems that now Richie has stopped guarding the door of that room.
There probably isn't anything.
Ram turned off the mobile screen and managed to eat the food in front of him. It took him about half an hour to eat. After finishing eating, we walked straight back to the hotel, stopping at some shops on the side of the road.
Arriving at the hotel, Ram arranged for me to get ready for bed. Laying down on the bed, He turned to pick up the phone and looked at the application to check on Richie again. When I pressed it to look, I found that Richie was still at the front door of the storage room as before. But what was strange was that it was scratching at the storage room door. It was like he was saying that there was something in that room.
Ram decided to open the mic and call Richie, "Richie!! What are doing?!!" He called out but Richie didn't bother to answer as usual, "Richie!!!"
"Woof!! Woof!!" He barked a few times before he stopped pawing at the door and just ran along the corridor barking, and he kept running around in the same place.
Squeak ~~
An ear-splitting sound came from the phone. Ram tried to look, and press zoom in both the animal camera application and the CCTV application to find the source of the sound but couldn't find anything.
Squeak ~~
Its sound was like the sound of a violin being played so slowly that it hurt the ears.
"howl ~" Richie stopped running before howling loudly. I looked through the pet camera in a dark room with only a little light coming from outside the room.
When he saw this, he suddenly felt goosebumps. The feeling was like being in a horror movie.
Soon, that squeaking sound suddenly disappeared. Richie stopped howling and went to sleep in his bed in his living room area as if nothing had ever happened.
Out of curiosity, Ram looked at all the CCTV cameras, but it was still the same. Didn't find anything at all. He thought about it and watched for more than half an hour but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. Ram glanced at the time in the upper left corner and saw that it was already 10 p.m.
It suddenly dawned on him that he had to go to a meeting tomorrow, so he would have to go to bed first, or else he would wake up late.
Ram placed his cell phone on the bedside table, not forgetting to plug in the charger before lying down. Meanwhile, he lay in bed thinking about the matter just now because it was still on his mind. But I can only think.
Maybe I'm thinking too much about myself. Maybe it was a sound from outside.
The next day, Ram went to attend the meeting at the Nariphat Convention Center as arranged. Ram came in and sat in the lobby waiting for the meeting time.
"Is that Mr. Phakhawat?"
A middle-aged man walked up to greet him. Ram stood up before greeting him back.
"Oh, yes," Ram remembered this man's face because the senior who had sent him the picture yesterday had already sent it to him to see. This man is Khun Napat, the organizer of today's electronic conference.
We talked for a while and Khun Napat asked to separate himself first. As for Ram, he walked into the conference room that had been prepared to wait.
Soon it was finally time to start the meeting. Time goes on. Ram also had moments where he yawned because last night he was lying awake thinking about the noise. By the time he was able to sleep, it was almost midnight.
Time passed until it was late in the evening and the meeting was finally finished. Ram packed up his things and prepared to return to the hotel. As he was walking out of the convention center, he picked up his phone and went into the pet camera application to check on Richie again.
When clicked to look at what I found, Richie was playing with something. But because the place Richie was at was a hidden corner of the camera, we had to change to look at the CCTV instead.
Found him playing with something black that looked like a ball in the corner of the kitchen. Ram tried to zoom in to see what Richie was playing. But there was very little light that went into the kitchen and the place where it was in a dark corner, making it impossible to see.
But while he was standing there watching, the taxi that he had called suddenly came, causing him to have to put his cell phone in his pocket before getting into the car.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel and were about to walk up to the room, we were stopped when we encountered a person.
"Khun Phakhawat here. Are you staying here?" A man in a suit walked up to greet Ram. He recognized this man as another person attending the meeting. His name is Patiphan. I feel like it's coming from a private company from Ayutthaya Province.
"yes"
"So, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet."
"Then let's go eat together, shall we?" Ram agreed before taking them to the hotel cafeteria. The two of them sat and ate for a while before retiring to their rooms.
Ram went up to the room and took a shower before sitting down on the bed picking up his laptop and opening it to look at the pet camera. He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and saw that it was already 8:00 p.m.
As soon as he looked, he found Richie running around. Ram pressed to change the camera angle next to the TV. When looking at this camera, it was found that Richie was running around playing with someone.
Ram pressed open the CCTV camera to view it but found that only Richie was running around playing. But when he looked back at the pet camera, there was a shadow of someone running with Richie!!
He decided to turn on the microphone and call out to Richie, "Richie! Richie! What are you doing?" Ram called out to Richie, but no matter how much he called, he didn't answer at all.
While Ram was crying out calling out to Richie, a dark shadow suddenly walked in front of the camera. When Ram saw it, he immediately felt goosebumps because the posture of the black shadow looked like the posture of a person dancing. No, the dancing posture was leaning to the left and the right, it looked like it was not human at all.
Squeak ~~
A scream sounded. It sounded exactly like it did yesterday. But its sound also seemed to be louder than before.
"Richie!! Richie!!" Ram tried to call out again but no matter how he called, it didn't respond at all, as if the pet camera's microphone system was broken.
With no other choice, Ram decided to pick up his cell phone and call the apartment manager so he could come check on the room.
"Hello, Brother Am. Are you free? I'm disturbing you with something."
"What happened?"
"It was like there was someone in my room who didn't know. Would you mind helping me go look at it for me?"
"Really? Sure. I'll go look at it for you."
"Thank you very much." While waiting for Am to come up and check the RAM and sit and watch over him, Richie was still running around playing with the mysterious shadow person as usual.
Squeak ~~ Squeak ~~
The Scream sound continued to get louder and louder, showing no signs of stopping. Plus, it was still running around in the same place at a faster speed than before.
The sound of the door opening indicated that the apartment caretaker had arrived. Ram clicked to change the program and looked at the security camera. He saw that Am was slowly exploring every room. But in the camera that he saw and Am's behavior, there was nothing unusual. Richie jumped up to greet Am like usual.
Am picked up her cell phone and dialed him. Ram immediately answered the call without his eyes leaving the laptop screen.
"Yes, sir."
[I've checked. But I don't see anyone there.]
"Really?"
[Yeah], But I saw that black shadow just now.
[Have we worked too hard? Lately, I've seen you sleep late. You might be eyesight might be blurry.]
"Probably like that."
[So…if there's nothing else, I go first.]
"Yes, thank you very much." Am hung up the phone before walking out of the room. Ram then turned to look at the two cameras again. Everything seemed to be back to normal.
Ram enters the pet camera before turning on the mic to say goodbye to Richie.
"Richie, Dad goes first. If a stranger comes into the house, do as Dad teach you."
. "Woof!" Richie, who was sitting in front of the camera, barked in response. But before he could continue speaking, something suddenly sounded soft. Ram turned up the volume and looked around Richie.
"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee" Laughter that sounded like a high-pitched witch. He who heard this immediately got goosebumps. Ram pressed the microphone on before shouting into the microphone.
"Hee hee hee"
"I asked who!!" No matter how much Ram shouted, the only sound that came back was an eerie laugh in response. "Hee hee hee hee hee," the eerie voice continued. Continuously loud and non-stop and even longer and longer than before.
"Richie! Go hide in the room first." Worried about Richie, he decided to tell him to go hide in the room first. Because at least the bedroom is probably the safest, and besides, that bedroom has a latch so Richie can lock the door himself.
"whimper~" Richie, who was sitting in front of the camera, only tilted his head and made a questioning expression as if he couldn't hear him at all.
Suddenly something happened in the camera image. The picture appears to have noise. Ram tried to focus and suddenly the image of Richie slowly had a dark shadow overlaid in front of Richie.
"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!!!!!!" The black shadow laughed before it got up and began dancing erratically like a person with no bones at all.
Squeak ~~
The shrieks sounded again, along with eerie laughter. That black shadow danced and ran around without stopping.
"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!!!!!!" Richie barked as he ran after the black shadow as if they were playing.
Out of fear, Ram decided to call Am, the apartment caretaker, again to ask him to come up and look at the room, but no matter how much he called, no one answered.
While he was busy making a phone call, the dancing shadow suddenly stopped for a moment before it slowly cracked his neck bone and then his torso before it fell to the ground and became motionless.
Black blood slowly flowed out of the body. "Woof!!" Richie barked when he saw it before walking up and smelling the black body and acting like he was about to lick off the black blood.
no!!!
"Richie!!" Ram shouted to Richie, but there was no response. "Richie!! not-"
Before he could speak, the black shadow suddenly got up slowly, arching his arms and neck, as if the bones had already fallen apart.
Squeak ~~
It opened its mouth wide, its jaws falling out. But what was creepy was that the black shadow was rapidly shaking its boneless limbs while screaming like a ghost! "Woof! Woof!" Richie barked at the dark shadow as he ran around in circles. "Richie!! Richie!! Run away, don't go near it!"
Ram gripped the laptop screen tightly and shouted to Richie and told him to get away. But no matter how much he called, he never listened.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow immediately turned its neck and swerved towards him. He grinned until his rotted teeth were visible before he lunged toward the camera and turned his neck to look at Richie, who sat with his tongue hanging out behind him.
no!!!
"Richie! Run away!" Ram shouted to Richie through tears before a dark shadow rushed towards Richie and did something.
"whimper ~~~" Richie's pained cries echoed throughout the room before gradually becoming softer until he could barely hear them.
"Richie!!! Richie!! Please don't do this to Richie." Ram begged the mysterious black shadow through tears. Richie's cries fell silent. He looked up at the laptop screen and saw that Richie was already lying completely still.
"Richie!! Richie!!! Wake up!" Ram shakes the laptop screen so hard that it turns off. He hurriedly packed up his things and went straight to the lobby to check out.
All he had to do now was go home to Richie. He couldn't let Richie die. Ram took the hotel car and got off at the transportation. Fortunately, the time he arrived just in time for the first bus.
On the way back, Ram's mind had its head in the clouds. He opens and clicks his phone into the pet camera to see Richie. But it turned out that within the camera, Richie had disappeared. Ram tried to check every camera but no matter where he looked, he couldn't find it.
8:30 AM was the time of his arrival. Ram immediately rushed towards the apartment. He hurriedly opened the door to the room and called out to Richie as usual.
"Richie! Richie! Where are you?" His heart was pounding, both anxious and afraid, all feelings mixed.
Walking to the living room where yesterday's incident happened. He looked around but couldn't find any traces of black blood.
"Woof!" A familiar barking voice sounded from behind. Ram turned to look and found that it was Richie sitting at the door of the room waiting.
"Richie!" Ram rushed over and hugged Richie tightly as he bent down to examine the wounds around him. There doesn't seem to be any injury.
Ram brought Richie into the room. As soon as he walked past the storage room, Richie barked like before. Ram stood staring at that door for a while before deciding to open the door to look, but inside he couldn't find anything except the belongings that had been kept.
But that alone didn't make him wonder. Ram decided to go down to the apartment caretaker before telling the story of what he had encountered and asking for the reason until he found out that 3 years before he came to this room, there had been a murder. The victim was a young woman who was killed by her boyfriend's lover by breaking her arms, legs, and neck before being cremated. The body was found 5 days later because the neighbor next door smelled a bad smell coming from this room. The caretaker took a spare key and opened the room and found the body of a woman who had been burnt to a crisp. His lover and accomplice were arrested a month later at his provincial home.
When he found out about Ram's story, he decided to ask to move out immediately. Because I don't want to encounter this situation twice. Moreover, he was afraid that Richie would be attacked by that ghost as well, and if he stayed, he didn't know that one day this terrible event might happen again or even worse.
