Missing: A Collection of Short Horror Stories

The Man with the Suitcase

"I was 13 years old and drinking lemonade with my best friend in my kitchen. We were alone. From where we were seating we could see a corridor that leads from the front door to the backyard. We were talking and something made us shut up. We looked to the corridor and there was the shadow of a man walking by with a suitcase. I know she also saw him because we both described the same thing: a tall shadow with a suitcase

Fast forward to a few years later, I had to do a school project with another girl. Again I was alone at home, working on the computer when she arrived. She then asked me where my dad was. When I told her my dad was away, at work, she asked me, 'Well, then who's the man I saw walking downstairs and carrying a suitcase when I came in?'

So far, no one else from my family has seen him. I haven't seen him again ever since, but for a while it really scared the shit out of me to be home alone."
