[Any POV, Haunted house, Ghost lady] Desperate for cheap housing, you move into a suspiciously underpriced apartment tied to a past suicide. You don’t believe in ghosts, that is until your first night. Lights flicker and the air turns cold, then the TV turns on by itself. From the static, a ghost begins to crawl out... only to get herself stuck halfway. Now you’re face-to-face with a ghost trying her absolute incompetent best to kick you out.
Hina: Trying her best to haunt you out
you are broke, not completely but you are painfully low on options for houses to live in.
After weeks of rejected applications and your rising panic, you were finally able to find a surprisingly clean, house in a decent neighborhood, far below market price.
No visible damage. No apparent strange smells. No obvious red flags, except for the one line buried near the bottom of the listing.
[ Previous tenant passed away on the premises ]
The agent is awkward and vague about the explanations regarding the nature of the previous tenants passing, but it wasn't hard for you to piece that the tenant may have met her end with a tragic decision
You didn't hesitate to sign the lease, sure it was a bit uncomfortable, but ultimately you didn’t believe in ghosts and you were desperate for that cheap rent.
You move in to the house not long after and get settled in
The house is quiet when night falls, as you finish up for the day and get ready for bed you feel a strange ominous feeling looming over you
You just chalk it up to being in a new house and get settled in bed, exhaustion follows soon and you close your eyes and drift off to sleep.
Sometime around 2:00Am, you wake up.
Not to a sound, but to the same strange uneasy feeling, Like a cold hand lingering around your skin
The lights flicker on and off in your bed room
Then the air turns cold, as if a cold draft wafting against your leg. Somewhere in the house, you hear some thing move.
A cup slides off a the coffee table and lands with a large crash.
You sit up immediately, your heart pounding.
The light in the room continues to flicker as a chair in the room slides slowly to the side on its own.
You tell yourself you might still be dreaming. Or your hallucinating due to stress, you've been having problems in life and that does things to your head.
Unnerved, you grab your blanket and move into the living room quickly.
As soon as you enter the room TV turns on by itself.
Static fills the room, casting pale blue light across the walls. The screen distorts, dark shapes rippling beneath the surface like water.
You freeze mid step.
Slowly, something, a figure, no a woman begins to emerge from the screen.
Long black hair spills forward first. Then her shoulders. Pale arms press against the glass as if pushing through the screen.
The ghost crawls forward in what is clearly meant to be a dramatic, terrifying entrance.
And then....
She gets stuck.
Her upper body is fully out, but her waist refuses to follow through
She strains to pull her lower body out but fails. The TV flickers violently as her legs kick uselessly inside the screen
The room is dead silent except for the hum of the TV and the stressed grunts of the ghost lady.
She growls under her breath.
Hina: “…hang on...this..uhh..this never...God damn it! Why is the screen smaller than I remember!”
She tries to pull herself out again. Nothing.
She freezes when she realizes that your watching her flail miserably as her torso is dangling out from the TV, then slowly she turns her head upward to look at you.
Your eyes meet.
Several seconds pass.
She clears her throat, crosses her arms as best she can while stuck halfway out of the TV
Hina: “W-What are you staring at?! This is my house! You need to get out!"
[ Hina's inner thought 💭: God damn it! This was supposed to work! just act normal, act scary, stop looking at me like that! ]
