00:00Have you ever felt like someone's watching you, but when you turn around, no one's there?
00:06What if I told you that's exactly what happened to Admin,
00:10someone who started hearing footsteps in the attic at exactly 3 a.m. and never came back?
00:18In a small town, hidden at the edge of a desolate highway,
00:23stood a house that most people tried to avoid.
00:26The house was old, weathered, and had a reputation.
00:30Most of the town's locals spoke of it in hushed whispers, but no one ever dared to venture close.
00:37There were rumors, stories of strange noises, flickering lights, and an oppressive feeling of being watched.
00:45But Admin, an anonymous Reddit user, wasn't afraid.
00:49They moved into the house with high hopes, thinking they could escape the monotony of city life.
00:56They didn't believe in ghosts or the supernatural.
00:59So the rumors didn't faze them.
01:03At first, everything seemed perfect.
01:06The house was quiet, peaceful, and gave Admin the solitude they had always wanted.
01:12But then, the sound started.
01:15At first, they were subtle.
01:18Faint creaks in the floorboards late at night, whispering winds that seemed to come from nowhere.
01:23Admin brushed it off, thinking it was just the house settling or their own mind playing tricks.
01:30But things took a strange turn one night.
01:34Admin was sitting in their living room, scrolling through their phone when it happened.
01:39A loud thud echoed from upstairs, followed by the unmistakable sound of slow, deliberate footsteps moving across the floor above.
01:50Admin froze, heart pounding.
01:53It wasn't the wind.
01:55It wasn't the house settling.
01:57Someone was walking around upstairs.
01:58They tried to ignore it, assuming it was their imagination.
02:03But as the footsteps grew louder, the tension in the air thickened.
02:08Admin's curiosity got the better of them, and they stood up, their feet heavy, with reluctance.
02:16The stairs creaked under their weight as they moved toward the attic door.
02:20Every part of them screamed not to go, but they opened the door anyway.
02:27The attic was dark, colder than it should have been, even for a fall night.
02:33Admin's flashlight flickered as they stepped up the stairs, each step creaking beneath them.
02:39The dragging noise they had heard earlier was now growing louder, more pronounced,
02:44as if something, or someone, was dragging something heavy across the floor above them.
02:51When they reached the top, the sight that awaited them made their breath catch in their throat.
02:58The attic was a large, dusty room filled with old furniture and broken boxes.
03:05The air smelled musty, but that wasn't what caught their attention.
03:09In the far corner of the room, sitting alone in the dim light, was a single note.
03:15The handwriting was erratic, as if written in a hurry.
03:20Admin approached it cautiously, the coldness in the room sending chills down their spine.
03:28As they picked up the note, they could barely make out the words.
03:33I'm still here.
03:34The moment Admin read the note, a cold, unsettling presence filled the room.
03:42The dragging sound ceased, and for a moment, everything went silent.
03:48But then, something far more terrifying happened.
03:53The flashlight flickered again, growing dimmer, with each passing second.
03:58The hairs on the back of Admin's neck stood up.
04:01They turned around, half expecting to see someone standing there, but there was no one.
04:07The attic door slammed shut with a deafening bang, trapping Admin inside.
04:14Panic set in as they rushed to open the door, but it wouldn't budge.
04:19Suddenly, the dragging sound returned, louder this time.
04:23It was as if whatever was in the attic with Admin was coming closer, closing in on them.
04:29Admin backed away, their heart pounding in their chest.
04:34The flashlight's light barely illuminated the space before them.
04:38That's when they heard it.
04:40A soft, almost inaudible whisper.
04:44Faint, but clear.
04:47You shouldn't have come here.
04:48The cold air in the attic seemed to close in around Admin, the temperature dropping rapidly.
04:56Every instinct screamed for them to escape, but the door wouldn't open.
05:01The whispering grew louder, more frantic, as if the presence in the attic was trying to get closer,
05:08trying to suffocate them in the darkness.
05:11Admin fumbled for their phone, but the battery was dead.
05:14They were completely alone, trapped in the attic with whatever entity had been haunting this house.
05:24The twist?
05:25A message from the other side?
05:28The whispering grew more frantic, almost panicked.
05:32Admin could feel their heart race in their chest as they continued to try and open the door,
05:38but it was useless.
05:40It wouldn't budge.
05:41The dragging sound now seemed like it was directly behind.
05:45Them, just inches away.
05:49Then, as if out of nowhere, the phone vibrated in their pocket.
05:54They pulled it out in disbelief.
05:56It was a message sent by someone, or something, named Admin.
06:02But how was this possible?
06:05Admin was alone in the attic, trapped with no way out.
06:08The message read,
06:11You shouldn't be here.
06:13It's already too late.
06:14Suddenly, Admin's phone died, the screen going black.
06:20The final mystery.
06:22The police arrived the next morning, summoned by a neighbor who hadn't heard from Admin in hours.
06:29When they arrived, the house was eerily quiet.
06:32The attic door was locked, but there was no sign of Admin.
06:38The only thing they found was the note.
06:41The one that read,
06:43I'm still here.
06:45They found no trace of Admin.
06:47No footprints.
06:49No signs of a struggle.
06:51Just the unsettling silence.
06:55Days passed, and rumors began to spread.
06:58Some said Admin had disappeared because they knew too much about the house.
07:04Others believed they were swallowed by the very entity they had dared to confront.
07:10But there was one thing no one could explain.
07:13The message.
07:14Who sent it?
07:16And why?
07:17Was it really Admin sending a final warning from beyond the grave?
07:22Or was it something else?
07:24Something far darker?
07:26To this day, no one knows.
07:30Admin's disappearance remains one of the most bizarre mysteries ever to haunt that small town.
