A while ago, my older sister, who had run away from home ten years ago and who had not contacted us all that time, suddenly came back in the middle of the night. There was only me in the house then to receive her since our parents were out for the night.
My sister seemed scared of something and she kept trembling. "Please, don't leave me alone! I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back!"She cried, and clung to me desperately. She was in a total panic, and all I could do was to take her to her old room on the first floor (which had been left exactly as it was when she left ten years ago) and lay her down on the bed.
Thinking it would calm her down, I said "I'll bring you something to drink," and tried to go out of the room. My sister cried, "Don't go! Please, please, please don't go! I'm scared! I'm scarrrrrrred!!!"
The moment I stepped out of the room, the door banged shut behind me on its own. And from inside the room I heard my sister scream, "Aaaagrrrrgh!! The green man is coming! The green man is coming! The green man is comiiiing!!"
When I finally managed to pry the door open, my sister had already disappeared. I looked under the bed, in the wardrobe, and in the loft, but there was no trace of her anywhere. We still have her tattered shoes at the front door. It wasn't a dream. She just disappeared.

Interesting story, quite odd. Do you know anything about this "green man"? Is it a demon or something I just haven't heard about because it is unknown in Europe? Or does it just exist in this story? I read it twice and the second time it scared me because I imagined what the green man might look like...
Debbie- nope! I have no idea what on earth is this "Green Man" is! That's part of the mystery!
Bryan - true. There are many scary Japanese stories which end like this. I guess Japanese people find it more scary if stories don't have definite ends or answers, because such stories leave room for imagination.
Only,If she really died,how could her shoes still be there? Anyway, here's to another chilling story by Saya!
Sugar - I forgot to mention that Japanese people leave their shoes at the front door when entering a house!
Could this be the Green Man the story refers to?
Most Green Men don't seem that threatening.
Right?
