(Ghost Story)
The River Girl is a strange story about a girl who is haunted
by the suspicious drowning death of her twin sister. I can't decide
whether this story belongs in the "creepy stories" section or the
"stupid stories" section. Leave a comment and let me know what you
think. Creepy or stupid? You decide.
Legend has it that there was a 16 year old girl named Carla who
was living in a mental hospital. Carla was a smart, outgoing, pretty
girl and nobody could explain what a girl like her was doing in an insane
asylum. The only thing the doctors could find wrong with her was
that she never spoke. Her parents swore that the girl had always been
well-behaved and never had any problems until the
death of her twin sister, Natalia.
Natalia's dead body had been found floating in a river near their
home on July 17th. Nobody could explain what she had been
doing there or how she had drowned. It was all very
mysterious and suspicious. After much investigation, the
police eventually ruled it an accident, but
everybody in town still had questions. For one thing,
Natalia's body had been tied up underwater. Had
she tied herself or had somebody else tied her up and
murdered her by tossing her into the river to drown?
Ever since the death of her sister , Carla had been acting
in a very bizarre and erratic manner. Her parents would wake
up in the middle of the night and find Carla's bedroom empty.
They would always find her standing in her nightdress at the
bank of the river , holding a rope in her hands. She always
goes to the river at the exact time her sister's
body had been found-12:43 AM
Fearing that their strangely silent daughter was
planning to harm herself, the worried parents
had her confined in a mental hospital. They felt it
was for her own good. After Carla had spent ten
long months in the mental hospital, the doctors told
her parents that she was free to leave. They could take her home.
However, her parents refused because they said that the
anniversary of Natalia's death was approaching and
they feared that their daughter would kill herself.
So Carla was confined in the mental hospital
indefinitely.
On July 17th, Carla's parents were at the
hospital visiting her. They watched her through a
small glass window in the metal door of her room.
Suddenly, Carla started going crazy, running all around
the room and bouncing of the walls. The doctors
rushed into the cell and wrestled her to the ground.
She kept screaming "Carla! Let go! No! Carla! Please!"
Finally, the doctors were forced to inject the poor girl with
sedatives. As her terrified parents watched, Carla
fell into an uneasy sleep.
"It was like she was possessed", said her mother.
After discussing it for a while, the parents decided to consult with a priest.
A few hours later, the local priest arrived. The parents told him the whole story-
how Carla's twin sister had drowned under mysterious circumstances,
how Carla had stopped talking immediately after Natalia's death, how she
had been screaming & shouting uncontrollably.
The priest examined Carla briefly and took the parents into a nearby
waiting room to talk to them.
"You're right", said the priest. "Your daughter, Carla, is indeed possessed.
And the evil spirit possessing her is none other than her dead sister, Natalia.
I suspect that Carla has been possessed ever since Natalia drowned in
that river. Natalia has been trying to kill Carla everyday since then."
Carla's parents were shocked. They began to cry.
"Wait a minute", said the priest. "What day is it today?"
He grabbed a newspaper. The date was July 17th,
the anniversary of Natalia's death.
"And what time is it?" yelled the priest.
He looked at the clock. It was 12:42. One minute before
Natalia's dead body had been discovered.
"We have just 1 minute to save your daughter's life", he yelled.
The priest and the parents ran to Carla's room. The door was
open and the room was empty.
"Where's Carla?" asked the priest.
"She's taking a bath", said doctor who happened
to be passing by.
The priest and the parents ran to the bathroom
and busted down the door. They were too late.
Carla was hanging over the bathtub. A rope was
wrapped around her neck and tied to the curtain rail.
Her eyes were bugged out, her face was purple and her head
was hanging at an odd angle. There were little wet footprints
all over the bathroom floor. On the wall, written in blood
were the words: "You killed me and now you will die with me."
They say that Carla's parents never recovered from the unimaginable
sorrow of losing 2 daughters. Even now, ten years later, every night before
bed, the parents still stop outside their daughters' empty bedroom
and say "Goodnight, Carla! Goodnight, Natalia!"
And every night, at 12:43 AM, two ghostly girls can be
seen walking hand in hand, down by the river.
