Creepypasta #1617: I Was Re-Watching Some Old Home Videos... But Something Was Disturbingly Wrong.

Length: Short

–

I live alone now. It was hard to adjust to living in rural England after having lived in a house packed to the brim with family in London, but, I was trying. It gets a little lonely sometimes.

I left a few years ago and have kept minimum contact. It wasn’t my family, they were always good to me. They loved me and I loved them. I just felt… out of touch with everything going on. I guess you use the classic ‘It’s not you, it’s me’ here, but really, it was my fault. There was nothing wrong with them but I felt more and more suffocated the longer I stayed there.

That brings us to now. I managed to get some home video tapes before I left and recently, I’ve been missing them. So I put the tapes in, sat down with a tub of ice cream, and played.

They started off normally; the usual bustling of Christmas time at our home. Kids running around, my mother and aunts preparing dinner. I remember this Christmas. I was in my bedroom, not really doing much. My father is holding the camera as he walks upstairs towards the rooms. He pans the landing: my parents’ room, my aunts’ and uncles’ rooms, my sisters’ room, and my roo-

My room wasn’t there. A wall stood in its former place. I put in the next tape, a beach trip to Bournemouth with just me and my parents. I distinctly remember playing in the water with my mother but there is nothing on the tape except my mother swimming alone. I begin to panic; I shove the next tape in, my birthday. The tape starts with the family crowded around the table singing ‘Happy Birthday’. The camera zooms in between my uncles’ shoulders to an untouched cake with candles alight and an empty seat.

I put the next tape in, and the next. Our trip to Alton Towers, our days out in London, our trip to Tenerife. Each tape plays and plays yet I am absent in every single one. My fear grows on me more and more before I decide to pick up the phone and do what I haven’t done in three years. I call my family. The phone rings..

But the line responds dead.

I go online, trying to look for their social media accounts but everything comes up empty. There isn’t a single indication to them ever having existed.

I go cold as the realisation dawns on me. The familiar noise of the nearby railway has been silent for days. My mail is a week late. I have not spoken or seen another person in a week. I try to remember where I’m living, and how I got here, and why I left but I can’t think of anything. I try to remember my mother’s name, my sister’s name, my own name, but all thoughts escape me except for one:

I’m lost, and no one is looking for me.

Scary Fact #59: Ghostly Crash.

On December 11, 2002, two motorists called police to report seeing a car veering off the road and crashing on the A3 near Burpham, Surrey. When the Police arrived at the scene to search for the wreckage they were unable to find any trace of a crash.

That was until an officer stumbled upon a maroon Vauxhall Astra nose down in a ditch, covered in undergrowth. There was one alarmingly irregular detail though, the car had not crashed recently. In fact it had laid undiscovered for five months, confirmed by the discovery of the decomposed body of the vehicles driver. It was suggested in the national press that the sighting of the car leaving the road just the night before could only have been a ghostly replay of the fatal crash earlier in the year.
