Scary Year She wrote...
In the middle of December, Amy moved to Lower Gornal a village in Staffordshire close to Dudley. She decided to do it a couple of months ago. It was only a few weeks before Christmas. She really loves cold weather. It's the reason why she like autumn around October/November and winter up till March time. She decided to do it because she wanted to change in life. For her and to be happy. She left her family over 100 miles away in Norwich. For now anyway. Her parents died in an accident a few years back.
She manages to get a job as a bartender in a pub in Gornal village called The Woodman. It wasn't her dream job but it was only 15 minutes walk from where she lives and they paid good money. Mostly around Christmas and New Year time.
Amy had a younger sister named Beth. Beth had 2 kids: Josh and Zoe. Of course, she had some uncles and auties, etc but they live in Ireland. Beth also was a single mother. The father of the kids left them a couple of years ago. He moved to Germany. He decided that a normal family isn't something for him. That is why Amy wanted to settle down and furniture her 3-bedroom house. It might sound small for 4 people but 2 bedrooms are a good size and it is large then it wouldn't be a problem for the divide into 2 parts.
Amy loved her niece and nephew like her own. She didn't have her own. It's not like she didn't want to have kids. She just waits for the right time and the right men. That is another reason why she moved. For a better life for her and her sister.
Beth and the kid's spouse moved with Amy around August after the kids finish the school year. Kids would go to Straits school and Beth would work up the road from their school in Bageridge social club. At least Amy would have a few months to sort everything out.
Amy and Beth weren't the most religious people. They didn't been going to church. Unless they had to or they feel like it. In the area, you have few. But 1 very inspire Amy while her sister was still living in Norwich. St James' Church had a big cemetery. Because Amy's hobby was taking pictures and she also like taking creepy pictures and this church with an old-style creepy greybeard was perfect for her.
It's finally Christmas. Beth and the kids spend a few days with Amy around. They all liked the area. And had so much fun. Mostly after Amy has been so busy at her new job, sorting a new place to leave, etc. I had some rest and fun and some lovely food. Yes, it might go fast because just after Christmas Beth had to come back to Norwich and Amy had come back to work... Still..... Family time and have some rest before busy a few months before her family will be moving in with her.
.....
Just a day after they went Amy decided that after work she'll go around the cemetery and take the final pictures she planned over a week ago. She finishes at half past 10 at night. It's a perfect time to take some creepy pictures at night. She had a day off the next day because she was doing double shifts over new year's eve and new year. ...... And now when finally she's taking a picture after having permission from a local vicar from St James' Church. She really had a chance to finish her portfolio. She always wanted to send her pictures for a contest. Of course, the subjects of her work would be scary parts of the UK. But meanwhile, she was getting ready to leave, after all, a number of ghostly voices had been heard in the churchyard. To start with she thought she was tired and that she hallucinates or partly dreams. But it was getting more intense. The late time made her decide to go home. The next day she went to a vicarage and talk to a Vicar about that. Vicar Andrew told Amy that in 1881 finally resulting in the local vicar was assaulted by an unknown force. An exorcism finally disposed of the entities. ....
So far she decides to move on. End of the day she didn't want this to put her off the area she lives and the pictures she took. And still added pictures to her portfolio.
2 months later around Valentine's day place where she works The Woodman was making everything ready for the day. Some people were booking tables for a romantic meal. Also was prepared for people coming for a quick drink and food. Also, they needed space for the usual guests. But they didn't expect that the place would start becoming subject to poltergeist activity over the last couple of days. In the upstairs kitchen, all the plates were smashed except one which was left in the middle of the floor. A large key went missing only to reappear the following day in the middle of a bed which had only just been made. Perhaps the most surprising activity there, certainly for the staff and customers who witness it (on Valentine's evening), is full pint glasses being lifted off the bar tables and placed on the floor without a drop being spilled. On one occasion a heavy metal spirit measure was thrown in the main bar by some unseen hand. Fortunately, it dropped just short of the intended target, a customer ordering a pint. It surely caused some problems for a bar. they lost some customers. And some refuse to pay.
......
After a story about what happened on Valentine's day, The Woodman become a popular place for fans of paranormal activity and started having more completely new customers. This started Amy having a conversation with a couple of paranormal investigators about what happened to her by a greyviard around new year's time. She shows them pictures from the time. I spoke to them about her passion to take pictures, mostly around cemeteries. They ask her if like her taking pictures wouldn't wanna join them in their investigating paranormal stories around Sedgley (which wasn't too far from where she lives) and the Gornal area. They needed someone with a camera who like some kinda paranormal hobby. Of course, they offer her some small payments each time she goes with them. And yes she did agree to do it for them but only on days off from work.
A few days later they came to her for a chat. It was the first time after a while since she had 2 days off work. Sebastian and Sheldon (because that's what their names were) had something interesting to show and tell Amy. After the thing, she told them about the church and a greyviard which makes them interesting enough to make a little research. They did find that this leads to The Doppelganger and Ghosts of Lower Gornal stories from the same time scale as the story she knew from a vicar. The following news story (they find a copy in one of the books in Dudley Library) appeared in 1881 and relates to what Beach has tentatively termed ghost riots. That ghosts are seen is, of course, absolutely par for the course, particularly back in the nineteenth century when fairy sightings were occasionally reported in local newspapers. But what is special about community ghost hysteria is that a wider group, sometimes the entire community, is caught up in the excitement. Beach has a handlist of a dozen of these events and the hysteria ranges from unofficial curfews to miners patrolling the streets in an attempt to lynch the ghost in question. This actually matches slightly what she saw and knew from the Vicar. And it seems to interest. This is an intermediate case in a newspaper copied in a library from the time said:
"Great alarm has been occasioned in Lower Gornal district in consequence of its being alleged that the ghost of the convict Martland, who attempted to murder the Rev. J. Rooker the vicar of the parish, has been seen in the churchyard. Scores of people assert that ghosts are seen in the churchyard every night, the result is that hundreds of people are afraid to be near the church at night. The choir and other persons are so terrified that they refuse to go to the church unless protected by the police. For several nights the vicarage has been guarded by people who are afraid that the vicar will be murdered. The people are very superstitious. This morning a woman asked the vicar to cut a turf four inches square from a grave in which lay a man who could not be at ease because of a guilty conscience, and stated that the putting of the turf on the communion table would cause all the ghosts to disappear. (1881)"
Sebastian tries to show that there are a couple of interesting points here. To start with, why is there confusion between the ghost of the convict Martland and ‘the ghosts' more generally? It sounds as if ‘the ghosts' are a recent, not a longstanding problem. Have they somehow been called into existence by the treacherous Martland and are they his allies? And another thing, who the hell is this Martland? Well, in 1879 Rooker who was a vicar since 1848, had had a run-in with the head of his choir Charles Hartland (but don't forget that newspaper editors in the 19th century had almost as few fact-checking skills as bloggers in the 21st). Hartland shot Rookerbut he miraculously survived the shooting even though 2 bullets lodged in his head on the end Hartland was sent to prison for 12 years of hard labor: the general feeling in the locality was that Hartland had not been himself and many signed a petition for leniency including Rooker, a much-loved village personality. A completely different source, incidentally, reveals that one of his parishioners accidentally attacked the vicar believing him to be a ghost for some reason. Rooker seems to have been one of life's fall guys. One very weird thing in all this is that as of the census of 1881 Hartland was still alive and in December there is a record of an attempt to have Hartland's sentence reduced again. In other words, this wasn't Hartland's ghost but a doppelganger! Which this story completely confused Amy. And she wasn't the only one. It seems like "ghosts" and doppelgangers might sound the same thing. Or what really it can be.
It's been almost a month since Amy was helping Sebastian and Sheldon with paranormal investigating between her working time. While then they been around Sedgley. And, fittingly for a village steeped in history, there is no shortage of spine-chilling stories and eye-witness accounts of scary and ghostly apparitions…. The picture Amy manages to take shows or seems to show a spectral figure emerging from the darkness on Turls Hill bridleway – a route which local historians believe dates back to before 1600 and has been the scene of several ghastly incidents. They manage to find that local photographer Mike, who also manages take the same/similar image on his Flickr page under his username, Derarfni, says: "It all started about 10 years ago, after hearing local stories and reading an article about the ‘Turls Hill Ghost'. "We went down for a laugh, just with simple a ‘point and shoot digital camera, and came back and noticed peculiar occurrences in the photos.
This became a bit of an obsession and we ended up spending many nights, taking photos – which amounted to many thousands, mostly pictures of nothing, but occasionally, say 1 in a 1,000, we had something unexplainable."
It's the reason why Amy, Sebastian, and Sheldon decided to talk to Mike and his friends. Because it Looks like they manage good very good observations.
It didn't surprise Sebastian and Sheldon that Mike and his friends captured something unexplainable on camera. Turls Hill bridleway is known to be haunted by a veiled lady and her two suicidal sons, who shot themselves in the adjoining quarry on separate occasions. Also, a steelworks owner, who once lived in Turks Hill House, at the top of the lane which was also known as The Belgians (which now is demolished), apparently went bankrupt, building a wall around his estate and eventually shooting himself in the quarry.
..............
After this part, they have also been in another part of Sedgley which didn't have been taken any less scary or interesting. After the thing that happens in Woodman, they decided to check some pubs and hotels around Sedgley if they had anything similar or another style of paranormal activity.
And it seems like pubs are notorious sites for hauntings, so it comes as no surprise to discover that not all the spirits at Sedgley's Beacon Hotel, home of the Sarah H. brewery, come in bottles.
Sedgley's Beacon Hotel has been the site of numerous weird and scary happenings
Anthony, a former manager of the Beacon Hotel, tells Amy and the guys the following story:
"In the summer of 1994 when I was managing the Beacon I often used to stay overnight for security. I usually slept in the sitting room. In that room is a painting of Sarah Hughes in which the eyes seem to follow you around the room. I suppose you never sleep properly when you are on protection duty, and one night something awoke me.
"My alarm clock showed 3 am. Opening my eyes, I took a quick glance around the room. In the corner by the door to the passage stood a figure. After a couple of seconds, I realized they had not broken into the pub or the alarms would be shrieking.
"I don't know how long I looked at the figure. It was a man in his 50s wearing Wellington boots, dark trousers, and a grey or white shirt with an old-fashioned Grandad-style collar and a waistcoat. I have always thought that ghosts were transparent, but he looked quite solid. Suddenly grasping what I was seeing, my heart raced and I shut my eyes tight. When I looked again a few seconds later the figure had vanished. I told my father about the night visitor and described what he was wearing. He said it sounded like the father of the present owner who always liked to go about in old-fashioned clothes."
Pete, another former manager of the Beacon, claims he has seen Sarah herself. He says: "She was walking across the smoke room and through a wall where there is now a conservatory. Fifty years ago there was a door at this point.
"If you stand in the corridor near the main server and listen carefully, you might hear bumps and bangs from upstairs and the noise of someone standing on a loose floorboard, though those rooms are used only for storage. Many regular customers claim to have heard the noises."
Pete's story is backed up by the fact that one of the book's authors, heard similar noises when researching. "At first I took no notice of the sounds, though they were quite loud. It sounded as though someone was moving heavy barrels about upstairs.
"Later the same evening, a casual remark to Aidan, the barman, revealed the story and confirmed there had definitely been no living person upstairs at the time."
...............
After 2 months of investigating Sedgley was June time. And it was getting close to Beth and the kid's time to move in and Amy notice that she is so busy with a job and investigating for Sebastian and Sheldon that she hadn't much time to do in a house. She was slightly getting stressed out. But Sebastian's cousin was a guy who done decorating and was good with other home and handy stuff that 4 of them can sort Amy's house and still have time for their jobs and investigating. 8 weeks at the end of the day is a long time. And after what they already found in an area it wasn't much to do for them Amy could move on with her life and job and Sebastian and Sheldon could move on by taking a break (again) from investigating and their new book and DVD.
The last thing they decided to check is ghost stories as well a feature prominently in Gornal's history, including a shocking incident for a caretaker's assistant at Ellowes Hall School – which now is a sports college. What they could find from the local community website, Yampy, explains further:
"About 12 years ago, Clive Brookes, the school caretaker, left his assistant Phil to lock up the school on the 6pm-10pm shift. Clive is pretty certain that it was a Thursday and there was nothing on at school that evening. Phil had already worked at the school for around six months and so was used to the procedure.
"Before going home, (the caretaker's house is on-site), Clive had taken a floor ‘buffer' to Phil and asked him to take it down a flight of stairs to the cupboard where it was kept. As Phil started to wheel the buffer down the stairs, something attracted his attention down the corridor, so he lifted the buffer back to the top of the stairs.
"He went to check everything out and walked through some glass double doors, down to the end of the corridor. The staffroom door was locked. He went back to the floor buffer.
"As he started down the stairs again, he ended up dropping the buffer down the stairs as a "bloke in overalls walked straight through the double doors and straight through the staff room door."
"Phil rushed to the caretaker's bungalow, and Clive says that, although he was a big fellow, he was extremely scared. It was a long time before he locked up alone again! "
Also, they find out that over at Upper Gornal Conservative Club, there have been several reports of a monk in a gown, which has apparently been seen by several people in the bar and cellar.
After almost 3 months of work with Sebastian and Sheldon, they got what they needed. It was a very busy time for all of them. Amy apart from doing her 2 jobs (pub+work for guys) manages to make the house ready for Beth and the kids to move in. Of course, she wouldn't have a chance to do that without the help she got from her new friends and Sebastian's cousin. She really missed her sister and niece and nephew so much. Because the kids were off school and in the middle of August starts her new job Amy decided that since now she has only a pub to worry about she'll have more time for a family. But when Beth started work 2 weeks before the kids would go to school Amy took 2 weeks off work to help her sister. Also, she enjoyed that what happens in a pub-like in a graveyard never happens to her again and she could move on with her life and make her dream come true. Though Sebastian and Shelson really helped her. And when Beth would start her job at the Baggridge Social Club. Yes, of course, her job was cleaner/cater and apart bank holidays, etc. she worked only in a day while kids are at school. It means because Beth does mornings and Amy does afternoons/evenings that Amy would be the one taking the kids to school and Beth takes them from school. That is why Beth was happy both of them were working not far from home and that Beth works not far from kids' school.
..........................
Its December, a year after Amy moved into the area. few months since Beth did. It's gonna be her first proper Christmas in a new place. A few days before that Beth was walking to work through Straits Road, the junction of Cotwall End Road. It was 07.30 in the morning. was surprised to see a 17 or 18-year-old man wearing an orange t-shirt and jeans out with so few clothes on one early cold, frosty morning. Her skin was incredibly pale. The figure walked past Beth, looking right at her but did not speak. Beth was amazed that anyone could have such pale skin and turned to take a second look, only to find that he had disappeared.
But then she went to work and by the time she forgot all about it up till Christmas day..... She told all about to Amy who looked scared. After that, she said what happens to her while they still been living in Norwich. Amy couldn't understand why it happens to them now. While they all lived in Norwich yes.. They weren't happy. And people weren't as friendly but they never had problems with ghosts. But Amy gets to a point that may be becoming a paranormal investigator with Beth is her future..........
Scary Holiday
- April 10, 2021
It was the end of July, over 5 years after Amy and her family moved out from Norwich to Lower Gornal, a town near Dudley. After 2 years of paranormal time, 3 years was quiet and settled. They start to enjoy the place where they live. They made some friends. Josh and Zoe grew up to a teenage age now. Both of them, mostly Zoe wanted to visit the town from childhood times.
They missed the Town and wanted to visit old friends. Amy and Beth didn't have a problem with it. Even if they hadn't many friends to visit over there, going on holiday to the Norwich part wasn't a bad idea for them. Because Zoe and Josh had already a holiday from school, Amy and Beth booked a week from their jobs and booked The Maids Head Hotel in Norwich, Norfolk for the four of them... They also decided to make a visit to places in Norwich which was known for paranormal happenings. Shortly, they wanted to do their own paranormal investigating in the town they lived in before. Josh and Zoe were excited.
After a couple of days of making ready for the holiday, finally, on the 1st of August, they got up early in the morning after a shower and breakfast and got into a taxi on a way to the train station in Wolverhampton. After seven hours of a trip, they finally made it to Norwich. For a county that's so steeped in history, it's not surprising that Norfolk has its fair share of ghost sightings and paranormal activity. And They were ready for adventure, to meet old friends and have fun.
The Maids Head Hotel, the place where all 4 of them were staying, claims to be the oldest hotel in Britain This hotel is over 800 years old. Even Queen Elizabeth I was reportedly a fan, spending the night in what has now been called the Queen Elizabeth Suite during a stay in the late 16th century. The Tudor style hotel is supposedly home to a maid who floats around the corridors with a strong smell of lavender following her. A second phantom is that of a former city mayor who has been sighted in the courtyard violently shaking his head.
The next day in the late morning all of them see their friends and catch on to what is happening. It was Wednesday already. Few hours wasn't enough on catching up, gossiping and having fun that's why their friends, Micheal and Suzy with their 2 kids, Malcolm and Andrew, invited them on Sunday for a nice chicken roast dinner. And they thought it's a great idea for holiday Sunday.
After seeing friends and having a quick fresh up in a hotel room, they went for a trip around. The first place they visit was Norwich Castle – founded by William the Conqueror. Norwich Castle stands proudly overlooking Norwich is steeped in a bloody history so it’s hardly surprising that a few angry souls remain, haunting the 900-year-old keep. The castle was also used as a place of imprisonment and execution. Ghost sightings include the decomposing remains of Robert Kett, hanging from the castle in a cage. Reports of another ghost, that of a black-clothed woman, have been made since at least 1820 and are still noted to this day in the art gallery.
After a busy day Amy, Beth, Josh and Zoe end up in Adam & Eve Pub. Just have rest, something to eat and drink. Of course, there was some spooky reason why they chose this pub as well. In 1249, this inn on Bishopgate is said to be one of the oldest pubs in Norwich. If you fancy a drink, you might have the company of the ghost of Lord Sheffield, a nobleman who was caught up in Kett’s Rebellion in 1549 before being stabbed and dragged to the former inn on the site of the Adam & Eve, where he died. Reports say that he rings a bell when the pub is empty but don’t be deterred from visiting as he is known to be a friendly apparition, perhaps rewarding the hospitality of the pub that sheltered him in his final hours…
The next day they visited two very interesting places. Elm Hill in Norwich is known by being haunted by a zealous priest called Father Ignatius. He is thought to have cursed those that didn’t engage in prayer way back in 1864, eventually inciting an angry mob of superstitious townspeople to drive him out of the city. His vengeful spirit is said to have returned and curses passersby to this day. There is a separate ghoul that supposedly died in a fire whose footsteps can be heard walking around one of the houses on the street. People have also had strange encounters with disembodied footsteps clomping around the antique shop on Elm Hill.
The second-place family visited at night was Maddermarket Theatre. To start with they watched a show called The Secret Garden! It's based on a book by the same name, which also became a movie. This theatre is actually located on the site of an old Roman Catholic Church and is supposedly haunted by a monk seen walking from one of the reclaimed confessional boxes and across the stage. He has also been sighted in the cobbled alleyway that runs up to the theatre. Far from evil, this spirit has supposedly saved someone’s life who was about to be struck by a falling light and even comforted actors who forgot lines or mess up their parts.
On Friday they decided to visit Devil’s Alley, in a nearby town called King’s Lynn. The market town of King’s Lynn has many pretty streets and historical buildings but one street, now come to be known as Devil’s Alley, has a more sinister side. There used to be a mark in the cobbled alleyway that, according to legend, is the spot where the Devil himself stamped his hoof after a priest came upon him and banished him in a dramatic fury. The print has since disappeared but an eerie presence still remains.
On Saturday Amy get an idea to go for a trip to the Priory of Our Lady of Thetford, where it's been known for face a ghostly onslaught of hooded monks who allegedly roam the ruins’ grounds. Built-in the 12th century, Thetford Priory was the burial site of many Earls and Dukes of the county before some tombs were removed in 1520 during the dissolution of the monasteries which may have disturbed more than just the mortal remains of those buried there… She decided to go there because people were reporting hearing the monks chanting and singing in Latin have been documented as early as the 1930s. With other nearby spots that purportedly play host to ghouls and ghosts such as the Warren Lodge and Grimes Graves, this is a hub of paranormal activity. Which also Amy and Zoe could be a witness. Josh and Beth weren't convinced about it.
The Sunday came. It was a day when all of them could spend a day with their friends, as well enjoy dinner. Micheal and Suzy were very interested to listen to the story of Beth and Amy adventures in a new place they moved in. Also, Malcolm and Andrew passionately listened to Josh and Zoe telling their stories from a new place like the last few days of the holiday. All of them enjoyed a day together. They even invited Michel, Suzy and the kids to visit them in Dudley and show them the most interesting places and place where they live.
Monday, the last day of their holiday, Beth and Amy decided to take the kids to Cromer Pier. Cromer Pier is a Grade II listed seaside pier in the civil parish of Cromer on the north coast of the English county of Norfolk, 25 miles due north of the city of Norwich in the United Kingdom. The pier is the home of the Cromer Lifeboat Station and the Pavilion Theatre. It was an idea that would be nice to see some sea, while they on holiday. The beautiful listed pier in Cromer is a hub of activity during the summer months – think ice creams, fish and chips and seagulls. But when the colder months come creeping in, the old place reveals a more sinister side. It is good to have some more normal fun apart just be a people who don't have other hobbies than catching a ghost. But it doesn't mean that the place doesn't have any spook to it. The Pavilion Theatre, which is located on the pier and is supposedly haunted by ghosts seen by performers that appear on stage next to them. Theatre-goers have also reported sightings of a man with a tall black hat and poltergeist activity too. There have also been sightings of a phantom island across the sea, supposedly the lost town of Shipden.
The next day, on Tuesday, it was time when the family came back home. After a nice and adventure holiday, they spend a week in an area visiting the area better. One of the days, while the kids still had a holiday from school, the family went on a trip to Dudley Castle and Zoo. Great place to spend a day off for a few reasons. It's a Zoo and Castle and it's an active spending time. Castle is a source of history. It's a day out. But as well if you like scary/haunted ideas to spend your time.
Dudley Castle is a popular place known as one of the most haunted locations in the Midlands and perhaps the world. With a history dating back to the Domesday book of 1086, this eerie location is full of ghosts, some of which have made the news. And this ghost is the Grey Lady Ghost. The most haunted location in the castle is thought to be the chapel undercroft. In an Ancient Room, there is a stone coffin, that is believed to have once held the body of one of the most castle’s most feared Lords, John Somery. Also, you could find reports when people have reported seeing legs beside the coffin and they believed to be that of John himself. Other people reports include people having the feeling of their clothes being tugged at, and their bodies prodded. One of the best examples is the story of the little girl flipped over a chair during a paranormal investigation. On another investigation, a dark shadowy figure was captured on camera. People have also reported strange grinding sounds coming from the chapel above, and obviously, on the investigation, the sounds cease.
It was 27th August. Last few days of Zoe and Josh holiday. Also, it was Zoe 16 birthday. They all went out for a meal. Some friends came for a little party in the evening. In September Zoe started college. She decided IT course. She always wanted to work with computers and do and computer art. Also to earn some little pocket money and earn some practice she started a YouTube channel. Because she found herself a new hobby: paranormal activities, scary stories and stuff are involved with this subject. She called her channel Creepy Intrest.
Joanna creepy diary
- April 10, 2021
Hi!! I’m Joanna and I'm a nurse in a local hospital. I live in Cracow, Poland. I'm 33 years old. I live in a little apartment near the city centre and this is my diary:
Thursday 17th October 2024.
I woke up late as I had a long shift yesterday. It's 10:30 and it's still dark. I don't know what is going on. I can hear thunder and some other weird noises in the background. Sometimes they are close, sometimes they are even closer.
It's afternoon already: Some light comes out - The thunder had stopped and the other weird noises have calmed down. In the news, they said that it was just bad weather conditions. It has never so dark this late in the afternoon before.
It's evening now. Nothing really happened in the last few hours. I don't have any more shifts this week. I'm doing nights next week and I'm back on Tuesday. I hope everything will be ok. I will just watch some movie, have some dinner and some wine; then I will go to bed. Long shifts wear me out.
Friday 18th October
It’s 3 AM. Some very scary noises from outside woke me up. I have never heard anything like that before. I am honest to God terrified! What this can be? I'm not going to check right now. It's too dark; I'm too tired and too scared.
It’s 3 PM. I just woke up. I had to be really tired. Waking up in the middle of the night really didn't help. I had a shower and something to eat. Was very hungry!
I just came back from a town. Everything looks empty, but the shops were still open. I know I left home late. Just to remind shops are open till late here! What is going on??? Where are people who usually been out? Some people still should do shopping after work etc. Like later in a day. But still, I did shopping in 24 h off-license shop. The person behind till knew nothing. He just was enjoying a quiet evening shift.
After dinner, I try to watch TV Shows but I can't. The power keeps going out and I keep hearing weird noises outside. Sometimes they are far away and other times they are close. I will try to record them.
Looked out, and recorded noises and whatever happening outside. All I could catch it, are the noises. Can't see anything from the window and I won't go out now. It's too late, too dark and too tired. I will go to bed and may try to read a book before sleep.
Saturday 19th October
It’s Saturday already. Like 9 in the morning. Seems like I fell asleep while I reading a book. I really had to be tired or the book had to be really boring. At least I slept all night and I don't feel tired anymore.
It's really afternoon. I just left my apartment. It’s the middle of the day. And a big city like Cracow shouldn't look so empty. But it looks like a ghost city. The shop I’ve been yesterday for shopping is closed now. It is weird, very weird. Am I dreaming or did I wake up in a different dimension?
Someone has to be around. But I can't hear a single frigging thing or see anyone! Only saw few pets. They looked ok to me. A person just ran by on me on a street. He went by the time I got a chance to talk to him. I will try going the way he runs.
Walked for a half-hour. Saw some people in their flats. A couple asks me to go home. They said at night I came back from my last shift, something happened that people are afraid to leave. Some people keep seeing a flashing blue light at night from the streets. It wasn't police or anything like that.
I'm home a few hours now. I had some food. Try to find out what is going on. The TV signal is going off all the time. On the internet, you can't see much. Apart from some people posting pictures and videos of these weird blue lights and some strange humanoid-looking things. What or who are they?
No signs of activity outside. Come to think of it, I never heard of a gunshot so close to my apartment. I lock myself in the apartment, close windows and curtains,s and try to stay alert to any strange and dangerous activity. At least there was no more blue light here.
Sunday 20th October
I must fall asleep. But I didn't feel tired. I just called my boss and booked 2 weeks off. Need rest and holiday. An overtired doctor or nurse isn't a very useful one. I really need it.
I just looked outside and it's absolutely grey. It's the biggest fog I ever saw. There is a guy, he has been standing completely still and I can see only his back. I have no idea how long he has been standing there. WHO IS HE???!!! Why is he standing there? What does he want? He really creeping me out.....!!!!
A few hours later and he is still standing there. SHIT. Should I be worried? Hiding in my room and waiting when this to end and seeing how this will end. I had food and looked outside. Whoever was standing outside is gone now.
I swear to God it sounds like someone is banging outside of my door, but there is no way in hell I'm going to check or open the door. And the blue lights started flashing outside. This is really, really creepy. But is these lights and knocking has anything to do with this guy who was standing outside the building earlier on????
I manage to scare him off. See him running away from a window. But the lights are still there. I'm worried now. I’ve got to stop falling asleep so much in the worst moments. I need to set my mind to keep myself safe. I need to get serious about securing my house. I'm running low on food and I feel like I could sleep for a week. What can I do??? I need to sort this shit out, and do shopping, lol.
Monday 21st October
Just woke up. It's 7 in the morning. It’s early in a day for once. I will try having a shower first. It's 10 am. I had some cheese and tomato toast. But I am not going anywhere. I am too scared.
Just my neighbours called me. They manage to get some stuff from one of the shops. Because they have a car, they thought to bring me few bags of shopping. I offered them the money back. They refused. That is nice and weird of them. This shopping must cost them a fortune. But it is still nice of them for bringing me. It really helps. They are very nice people.
Just been sitting and thinking. Whatever is happening in the last few days doesn't since normal. Am I dreaming, going crazy? It has to be....!!! This isn't real.....
Just came back from a walk to clear my mind. I feel better now. I’m glad to have some food in the fridge. I’m planning to have some food, wine and watch some DVD. This will cheer me up.
Tuesday 22nd October
I think I need a clear head. Tiredness and stress can make anyone paranoid, but why doesn't my parent's answerphone? I think if I won't be able to hold on to them I will go and visit them. At the end of the day, they should be back home now. They went to Slovakia for a holiday. I'm glad they enjoy themselves, yet I worry about them, mostly, if I can't get in touch with them.
I’ve been to Wawel castle. Just walk around. I wasn't inside to see anything really. Just sit in a cafe, walk around. I love the place because of the history, lots of legends etc. 100% my kind of place. I enjoyed the day. I also made myself nice lasagne today for tea.
Wednesday 23rd October
It's early in the morning. All night couldn't stop thinking about legends around Wawel and in my dreams, they were fading in with what is going on around me. Also what didn't help is fact that lights came back. And I heard very weird noises outside the building. But I am not sure what was real and what a dream was. Started to have weird dreams. They were connected to my trip from the other day..... And some connected to legends about Wawel I think. Need to put it into words, put it on paper. Never had weird dreams like that before........ There you go:
I was in a pub. Old style pub... like really old... And there was a guy who was talking to death law style of the crater... And then this guy could fly out of the window on a chicken or something... And then I saw a big army coming out of Mountain and heading into a Wawel. It is like they are getting ready for war or something. And then I was visited by angels where I became a queen. And then was this dragon flying in the sky. And in my castle was this magical and powerful stone. That was bizarre.
****(explanation of what legends are there at the end)
Wonder what these dreams meant. I know they came from legends... Still weird...
Thursday 24th October
Nothing happened last night. Stayed home, Spoke to neighbors I had rest and feel better. It feels like what happened was a dream.
I keep having weird dreams....... It is a few hours later and it's the middle of the night. I just heard yelling, but this time it sounded like the person was in agony..... It's just quiet now. The blue light is still here again
Friday 25th October
.I left the apartment. I'm trying my best to stay calm as I write this, but I think there is a dead body in the middle of the street. To take my mind off of what is outside, I dug deeper into the piles of books to read.
Just look outside. The body is just gone. Didn't see what happened to it, but it's not in the street anymore.
Saturday 26th October
I am going to check on my parents. I’m leaving my diary up till Monday. Have some quality time with them, I hope.
Monday 28th October
Spent all weekend at my parent's house. They weren't there. I'm worried. The police don't know anything. They said they will have to look at it in some time.
Just get back home and realized that someone broke into my apartment. Also found blood by an entrance. What the hell is going on? I'm scared... I don't know what to do..... My neighbors don't answer the door, and my parent is missing. Most things are closed down... I thought this was only a dream but this nightmare is getting worse.....
I heard a gunshot......
I should leave as soonest I can..... It's not safe here. I will go to a family holiday house in Koscielisko. It's a town close to the Slovakia border. If anything I could move to another country. I don't know what to do but this is an option.
I'm packed. I’ve got all food, drinks, toiletries and most of the clothes. Everything is in a car. I’m ready to hit the road. I should be there for 2-3 hours.
It's almost 11. House looks fine and cozy. It looks like my parent were here not long ago. But when I try to contact them on cells and landline no one answers. Why they don't answer?
Tuesday 29th October
It's 11 am. I woke up to my mobile ringtone. My parents just called me. They just came back from Slovakia. At least they find. Couldn't get in touch with them cause they lost one mobile they had with them. Another phone has been hidden in their house for some reason.
They've been in my apartment. Saw blood outside a block. The place looked empty for them. They've been worried about me. There is something going on. I think I stay here and have a short holiday. Bit rest might be good for me and it seems to be safe.
Wednesday 30th October
It's 7 am. I had a nice day yesterday. I just am having a rest today. Bit food and wine. DVDs and a good night's long sleep. Time for breakfast and shower!!!!! Keep having these weird dreams. They always look similar every time.
It's 12. I just tried to have dinner. But I just saw something outside. It really looked creepy. Maybe it's only a lost, scared bear or something. I lock myself in and call someone for help.
Shit, no signal.
Oh dear god...
This isn't a bear or anything I saw in my life.
I'm shaking...
This is something between bigfoot and Reptilian humanoid..... It's really scary... Have big red glaring eyes.... make bear-like sounds......
And.... and.... and this weird light from my apartment started here.... and it's like the middle of the day... what cans I do....?. What to do.....? I need to hide... I need to hide right now...
Ok. I'm in a closet, in a bedroom. I'll wait...
I hear sirens.... and scream.... and growling..... And.... and...
I heard the gunshot. There someone start shooting. There's hope for me.... large scream and gone quiet now...
I hear knocking on the door... See what's going on...
It was the police. Someone else manages to contact them and let them know it's some kinda dangerous creator acting suspiciously on this property.
It's dark now... How long I've been hiding out?
I've done some research on the internet. I'm not a first-person who met this type of "animal". Apparently, some group of crazy scientists was running illegal experiments in "bunker" hidden labs where they've been inbreeding 2-3 different type of animals together. For example monkey, bears and lizards etc. But also try to make them smarter...!!! WTF!!! WTF!!!! Is this a reason for what is going on in my county in the last couple of weeks? Is it a reason for gunshots and blood, and lights and this illness.......????
Why.....??? Where do they have funds from....? How do they manage hidden for so long......?
Saw on the news a lot of reports from other people who manage to record them on their cells..... Is this the end of the world...??
It's like 3 in the morning... I can't sleep... I'm absolutely scared, tired and.... don't know anymore...
Thursday 31st October HALLOWEEN
I must pass out on the sofa last night. The TV was on when I woke up. It's like 2 pm. Had a really creepy dream..... I was in the middle of the main market in Cracow. I was on my own... It was like crazy foggy... couldn't see properly. And then lots and lots of zombies and this freaky inbreeding "animal" come from nowhere.... and when they try to attack me... I woke up...
Thank God my parents for picking me up... It wasn't a safe home but not ask dangerous as here...
I'm home.... don't feel safe.... but glad to be home... Glad that my parents are fine...
Halloween parties etc. have been canceled for safety and people have been advised to stay home after dark and be careful during the day... I'm not leaving my apartment any time soon... I'm telling ya.....
Nothing really happened today... I will try to have a rest now...
I had weird dreams from the other night maybe 2-3 times after that. It is not exactly the same but very similar. They are very bizarre. What are they mean??
1st January 2025
HAPPY NEW YEAR
***** Legends in the order they came in a dream:
Polish legends include plenty of angelic characters, but also a great number of devilish ones. One of the best-known devils in Polish legends is the one that signed a pact with the 16th-century nobleman Sir Twardowski. According to the contract, the devil provided the nobleman with great wisdom and magical powers in exchange for his soul. However, a key stipulation stated that Twardowski’s soul could only be collected in Rome. That allowed the cunning nobleman to exercise his special powers without ever having to pay the price – as long as he avoided the Eternal City. On one day, the devil tricked Twardowski into visiting an inn… An inn called none other than Rome. That was when the party ended for Sir Twardowski: a confrontation with the devil ensued and as a result, the nobleman became stranded on the moon forever. The Devil Lands on the Moon in Sci-Fi Movie Based on Polish Legend Twardowsky, a brand new release by Oscar-nominated director Tomasz Bagiński, revolves around a nobleman who signs a deal with the Lord of Darkness...on a lunar base. 1890 drawing is titled Rozmowa Twardowskiego z Diabłem (Twardowski Talking With the Devil) and is the work of the Polish draughtsman Michał Elwiro Andriolli, author of numerous illustrations for Polish literary works, such as Józef Ignacy Kraszewski’s Stara Baśń (Old Fairy Tale).
Here’s another depiction of a Polish legend that revolves around knights and an angel – the legend of the sleeping knights. According to this tale, there’s a secluded cave in Mount Giewont in the Tatra Mountains, where a band of armor-clad knights rests in eternal sleep, waiting for a time when Poland will be in need of their services. The knights are guarded by an angel who is always ready to inform them whether that time has arrived.
One of the legends is about the beginnings of the Polish state. This tale goes that the humble wheelwright Piast was visited by mysterious travelers on the day of his son’s first haircut. Piast was celebrating this important family occasion with some friends. According to legend, Ziemowit would go on to become the great grandfather of the first historical ruler of Poland, Mieszko I, who lived in the 10th century.
The Wawel Dragon was a beast that lived in a den under Wawel Hill and terrorized all the inhabitants of King Krak’s town. They had to feed the monster by giving him offerings of cattle, while other tales speak of that hellspawn eating nothing but virgins. No knight could vanquish the monster until a young shoemaker Skuba outsmarted the Dragon. He stuffed a ram’s hide with sulfur and pitch and put the doctored ram in front of the Dragon’s Den. The monster caught the bait and devoured the ram. Immediately, he felt a bad pain and burning in the throat. To quench his thirst, the Dragon started to drink from the Vistula River. However, as water cannot extinguish burning sulfur, the gases produced by the fires inside him made the beast explode. All the townsfolk reveled in the news and the heroic shoemaker was properly rewarded. To commemorate the vanquishing of the Dragon, Bronisław Chromy designed a sculpture of the beast which now stands by the river at the foot of Wawel, near the Dragon's Den.
Though the legend may be controversial, it simply states that hidden in Wawel is a Chakra: a mysterious stone that is a source of supernatural energy. For the initiated it is a source of unspeakable power, giving unbelievable spiritual force. The legend refers to a tale of the Hindu god Shiva who cast seven magical stones (the Chakram) into seven parts of the world. One of them was to hit Kraków, while the remaining six reached Delhi, Mecca, Delphi, Jerusalem, Rome, and Velehrad. The partisans of the legend speak of radiesthesia research that proves that the Chakra lies in the remnants of the 11th-century chapel of St Gereon. Others believe that there is a source of negative ions, which generally help relaxation, somewhere under the western wing of the castle.
The dark side of humanity
Prologue
When the sun rises, a new day dawns. When the sun goes down, it's dark. When the day comes, life goes on as normal, normally. Then all people go to work and school. However, after dark, evil spirits, demons, and other creatures begin to wake up. Few know about their existence. No wonder, since they do not show themselves to ordinary people. But there are some who have supernatural powers. They were created to fight against evil powers. They didn't have such abilities right away. They got a reward for their good life and behavior. They were committed to their principles and beliefs. But the moment came when people started breaking them. At last, it is time to fight the worst of demons, that is, the evil that lies dormant in all of us. No one suspects that it can lead to such catastrophes and havoc in the world. And yet it happened. But there are still people (although there are not many of them) who try to prevent this and fight this evil at least to a minimal extent. But will they succeed? After all, there are fewer of them
Chapter I.
1
It was a sunny, warm Tuesday morning in July. My name is Mariusz and I live in Sosnowiec, but I was born in Trzebinia and I attended school in Chrzanów. I graduated with honors in Krakow at the Jagiellonian University. My family moved to Gdańsk. I decided to stay in the south of the country. As every day before work, I would go to the store for fresh rolls and carrot juice. I work in a hospital as an oncologist and I teach at the university. I like my work very much, partly because he is alone and at work he has the opportunity to meet different people, including friends. Despite the fact that I am a 32-year-old man, so far I have not found anyone with whom I can be permanently. I am a busy person, but I always find time for all my patients, students and friends. It is a hot July morning. I finish work, as usual, late in the evening, when it is already dark. He saw his family a few days a year because he lived at the other end of the country. He visited her most often during the world and holidays. It was on that day that I was late for work. It never happened to me. I was always on time. On that day, strange things started to happen. Increasingly frequent car accidents, weather anomalies, conflicts and events that should never happen. His first, permanent patient, by the way, did not show up for a follow-up visit, as he did every month. It never happened to him without prior notification of the appointment rescheduling. Another patient was due in twenty minutes. I had few patients enrolled on that day. During this time, I had my lunch and turned on the TV. I found out on the news that a man committed suicide. As it turned out, it was his patient who did not come for an appointment that day. I didn't know why he did it. The disease could be cured, the results kept getting better and his life started to return to normal, even in private terms. It was enough for him to come to the check-ups and his life would be no different from other people apart from these visits. There were no signs of recurrence of cancer. I have a friend in the police, so I asked him to find out what was the cause of the suicide in this accident and what the police at the scene found. Nothing extraordinary happened on that day. After a day of hard work and strange events, I went home, took a shower, and went to sleep. I didn't even want to eat anything anymore. I was too tired after the impressions I had today in excess. It was not a normal, ordinary day like every other day.
II
Nothing happened for the next week. The police failed to explain the causes of the accident. There weren't any specific reasons for him to commit suicide, nor any sign that might indicate a murder. That's why it still bothered me. I wanted to know the truth. I asked Miron to let me help with the investigation. I made friends with Mikolaj because that was the name of my patient. I can't believe his suicide. It is unlikely that such a thing would have happened. After many months of an investigation that failed, the case was dismissed by the prosecutor's office. At that time, nothing special happened. But it worried me when his patients, as well as those in other wards, began to suffer from depression and other mental illnesses. After all, most of them had no basis for such diseases. In some nearby villages, people started dying from a hitherto unknown virus. For the first time they saw something like that in Polish medicine, so a sample of this virus was sent to Birmingham, to Great Britain and we asked local doctors and scientists to test and send the test results to Poland. As it turns out, even local doctors encountered such a mutation of the virus. But as it turned out, it also attacks the nervous system and damaged parts of the human body without showing any major symptoms, the effects of the disease immediately appear, without any signs of the disease's causes. I decided to do research on this very dangerous virus. I need to know the reason why he has led so many people to death and seriousness. So far it has not attacked the whole country, but you have to be careful. you never know what might be causing it yet, what reactions and how quickly it spreads. We were sent from the UK by three doctors to help with examining and treating the sick. A friend of mine called with news about my patient. It turned out that the virus was not the only cause of suicide, but also that the wife and the child left him for no reason, and the lover with whom he was two months left him for another and was pregnant with him. As it turned out, this lover left him for one of his best friends. They both worked in a surveying office. Mikolaj always dreamed that when he recovered, it would be a change in profession. He was very fond of music and poetry. He had great musical talent, but he also wrote poetry in his spare time. They were mostly poems about love and the beauty of nature. But the last lines indicated states of depression and some panic fear of something. As if he wasn't writing. It indicated that they were written in the same handwriting as the previous ones. They had visions of some inevitable catastrophe that was to come soon, probably a natural disaster such as a flood or the outbreak of an armed conflict such as World War III. They were examined by a psychologist. But they showed nothing extraordinary, except that it was possible to conclude that he struggled with the depression of everyday life for a long time. But it didn't suit me. Nobody foresees such catastrophes for such flat reasons. Or maybe he was talking about some kind of virus outbreak? I thought, but I had no evidence.
III
The next day, Miron gave me a pass which allowed me to participate in the investigation and help the police investigate the cases. It has become my new passion. A month ago, I did not think that something like this would take over. But helping people was my calling. As it turned out, an autopsy of Mikolaj showed that Mikolaj had this virus, but only at an early stage. In the evening news, they provided information about the virus outbreak in hospitals in other cities, including Krakow. It is probably the same virus that appeared in our country.
CHAPTER II
1
Three months have passed since all these events. They announced epidemics in the country and quarantines in hospitals across the country. We have just recently started to cooperate with hospitals in Krakow and in connection with research on the virus. It turned out to be a dangerous mutant of the influenza virus. On the other hand, it is lethal only because there is no vaccine or medicine for it, which is why it causes such serious complications. It attacks the flattest people, such as, for example, seriously ill people, also those treated in the hospital, and newborns. Now, research is underway to find a cure and vaccine that will prevent illness and death from this disease that has not been studied in detail. Hope it won't be long anymore.
II
For two weeks she has been receiving threats, letters, and calls, from an anonymous person, and if the investigation and research are not stopped, she will be dead. I told all of this to Miron. They intercepted me on the phone and monitored my home and in front of him to find out who was doing it. It is very likely that Mikolaj also received such threats because he also wanted to know the truth. The police do not rule it out at all. They began investigating this angle. There is a good chance that these traces, as well as those of committing the murder, have been obliterated by a criminal, and even criminals, so the matter will not be simple. As it turned out, two crossings from where I lived, a man's body was found. They were lying in some container. It would seem that they are in good condition, but when pathologists started to take them out, the corpse fell apart, literally. Every flap of skin, every muscle, every organ just flew away. Only the skeleton and some parts of the muscles were completely hidden. He was probably murdered, and this was supposed to be the place where the body was hidden. The condition of the corpse resulted from the place where they were located. They were lying in some liquid that had formalin in them, and that's why they were kept in such good condition. Now the identification process and the search for the place of residence and family of the murdered are in progress. In the same period, a man was found sending me anonymous letters. It turned out that it was the husband of one of the patients who died of malignant cancer. She had a cancer of the spine. It was impossible to save her. But her husband can't accept it.
III
The police established the address of the murdered. He lived in Krakow, but was visiting his family. His name was Bartosz S **** He was walking to the bus stop, he was returning home. As it turned out, he was a lover of stories, thillers, crimes, and the like. But most of them had themes ranging from prophecies and controversial stories about Christ. According to what the investigating policemen found out, our victim was interested in the causes of the epidemic and was also friends with Mikolaj. They were both dealing with the prophecies. They both liked films such as "The Day After Tomorrow" or "Roj", and on their free weekends, they would meet and read Nostradamus' quatrains and poems by Juliusz Slowacki. They analyzed their content in terms of what has come true and whether they have an impact on the future or it is coming true. They became obsessed with it. But some people did not like their behavior. Mikolaj's friend's name was Michal, he lived in the block opposite his. They even worked together in the same design office at Rondo Grzegorzecki. Their colleagues at work thought they were crazy. They didn't understand them. Michal even had a fiancée, but recently they met less and less, they had less and less in common. They probably wanted to part ways. But they never did it officially. Zofia, because that was the name of Michał's fiancée, tried to save the relationship. She must have loved him very much. She didn't even mind what Michal was doing after work. Sometimes even I was interested in it. From what we learned from her, they even started to write memoirs and books related to this topic. She promised to deliver them to the police station soon.
IV
The next day, Zosia, as she asked to speak to herself, came and gave us the notes that she had promised to deliver the day before. And she promised us her help. Her younger sister, Halina, is a lawyer, but she has extensive contacts in the police, including the foreign police. Her husband is of German origin. Three hours after Zosia left, we found out that she was dead. She died in a car accident. There was no contact with her sister and the brother-in-law. Apparently, they left about two days ago. Possibly to Germany to the family of Zosia's husband. The search for Zosia's family continues. At the same time, the quarantine in hospitals was lifted. It was possible to reduce the risk of morbidity. But the epidemic continues. So is research into a better and more effective drug against this flu mutation? The situation began to stabilize. But unfortunately, there are still many unclear situations. I hope that the notes of Michał and Mikolaj will tell us something and help us to come to the truth. As it turned out, the autopsy of this man showed that he had been murdered (as we had assumed) by multiple knife blows. But the murder weapon has not been found.
CHAPTER III
I
A week later, the sister of the murdered woman returned to Poland with her husband. She was terrified of what happened. She was given police protection due to recent events. The murderer could also want to get rid of her, as well as previous people. Probably they must have known something. When they left, I called Miron to ask if he had already found out anything from the diaries and books by Michal and Mikolaj. We made an agreement that I would come to him at the police station and he would tell me everything. I was about to see the last patient so I promised him that I would be there in an hour and a half. As it turned out on the spot, one could learn a lot from their records. Now he has promised to stress the most important parts, and he will give me a copy so that I can read it and say what I think about it. As it turned out, the last two or three years were devoted to a thorough study of the Bible, the Apocrypha of the Old and New Testaments, as well as the holy books of other major religions. They looked for any hints about the future and looked for similar content to those contained, for example, in the quatrains of Nostradamus. But they also began to have clues about causing an epidemic in various countries, including Poland. But unfortunately in terms of who could do it exactly, they didn't discover or just didn't write it down. But, unfortunately, we will not find out.
II
I'm in the process of reading and analyzing Michal and Mikolaj's book and memoirs. From what I could conclude, according to their research and investigations, some nations or only some groups of people in these nations were to be annihilated. Probably biological. And this was to start the outbreak of World War III, the beginning of the great heat, which would kill many people taking part in the war, and then on part of the globe the ice age is to become (everything will be frozen), in the second part great fires destroying everything and killing many people. The third part is to be relative peace. On the other hand, they are not affected by weather fluctuations due to different weather conditions on the previous two parts of the globe. Diseases also happen, but they are not so dangerous that people can cope. But that was not the end of their very catastrophic predictions. Unfortunately. The next one may turn out to be even worse. According to their predictions, World War III is to break out by the end of 2010, and something similar to the end of the world is to happen exactly on Christmas Eve on December 24, 2012. According to them, Lucifer did not have to come down to earth because he predicted that some people would create hell on earth without his help, freeing evil in himself and many other people. Recent entries may indicate that someone threatened them. He told them that if he couldn't stop it, they would regret what they were doing. But they say little, since the notes are only half-written. Probably someone killed them earlier, or stole the fragments that tell who persecuted them. The next day before work, I went to Miron and shared my thoughts with him. I wrote everything down in the form of notes. But we still don't know who perpetrated these murders.
III
As it turned out, Zosia's and Helena's closest cousin, Lena, came to Poland from North America. Together with her husband, she runs a large enterprise. But from all of this I haven't heard exactly what they do. Unfortunately, her husband had to stay in Canada and look after the business. As it turned out, when Zosia was with her in Canada, she received anonymous phone calls with threats if she did not part with Michał. The Canadian police determined that the person who called him was Marcel R *******, registered in Swoszowice, but during this period he was in the United States, from where he made a phone call. He was handed over to the Polish police. Unfortunately, no one knows the verdict. As it turned out, he was one of the performers of the planned disaster. As it turned out, he failed to murder because of the efficient action of the American police. Therefore, the order was made only in Poland, but already by someone else. I just hope that thanks to this information we will come up with a lead that will lead us to clarify the whole matter.
CHAPTER IV
I
A week has passed. It was Miron who was going to the planned meeting with Marcel in prison. When he came, he found out that he had committed suicide an hour before meeting him. Nobody expected this. But she was the only one who could lead us to a lead. As soon as I found out about it, I thought it might be a deliberate action. Someone, for example, could have killed him so that he would not be proved these crimes and not be interrupted in what he planned. Only it is not known what he planned. I told Miron about my thoughts. He himself did not rule it out. But the testimony of the prison service did not indicate that it was a murder. Not even the marks and fingerprints showed that. But Miron promised me that he would check everything carefully and try to prove that it was a mental act. Ultimately, it was meant to help with the investigation.
II
Lena, unfortunately, after three weeks in Poland, had to come back to Canada. But she promised that if she or her husband remembered something, or if something significant happened, he would contact us. We took her to the airport in Balicac, and then we returned to our classes. Work passed me quietly. I didn't have many patients, and each visit didn't last too long. I got home before 9 p.m. As I learned from the news, the plane on which Lena was flying crashed and all bodies were noticeably burned. According to media reports, the crash was caused by a malfunctioning engine that started to burn ten minutes after the plane took off. The pilots failed to make an emergency landing, which also resulted in a disaster. Airplane firefighting is still ongoing. An investigation has started. I wonder if that had anything to do with our case. It is very possible that someone might have broken the engine on purpose. But I will find out the truth when I get the results of the police investigation. I hope that the perpetrator will be caught as soon as possible. There are more and more victims who have something to do with the case and may have known something, and someone clearly doesn't want the truth to come out. There were probably fifty-eight passengers, two pilots, and four hostesses on board. So many innocent people died in such a short time, so many weeks passed, and in total, nothing could be explained. If we fail to clarify this matter with the offender as soon as possible, it can be even worse. Maybe if you read the notes of Mikołaj and Michał more carefully, you will be able to learn or guess something. Maybe it will lead us to something or to someone.
III
As far as I could notice, they both planned to go to Israel, neighboring countries and other Arab countries. They wanted to follow in the footsteps of Christ. But not only. They wanted to know more about biological weapons that were being created in these countries by a hitherto unknown criminal group, possibly a terrorist one. As it turns out, in this group, there are also people from Western Europe and the United States, and not only from the Arab Emirates, as it might be assumed at the beginning. They may have had something to do with the recent events. But is it possible for someone from Poland to be involved? And the whole catastrophe was to begin in Poland. It seemed unreal to me. But I decided to wait for the results of the investigation of the plane crash. After such a long time, it was possible to find the murder weapon of the murdered Bartosz from Krakow. It was not far from a Chinese restaurant a kilometer from the crime scene. It was probably tossed up because it didn't fit the other knives and none was missing. There is a good chance that someone living in the area may have picked it up, but there's no certainty so the investigation is still ongoing. But this is some kind of clue. Maybe there are fingerprints on it? I hope so. But that's something. It should lead us somewhere, somewhere else.
CHAPTER V
I
It turned out that the fingerprints belonged to a murderer who was on parole. But unfortunately, he did not know who was renting it, because whoever was renting it wanted to remain anonymous. He contacted him by calling from a phone booth, and he found payments and additional information in the post office box which he initially gave him, specially set up for it. Apparently, he spoke Polish, but with a mixed accent, a combination of Arabic and English. During the search, it turned out that the person calling is a man born in Germany, who has been living in Poland for several years. His father was an Arab and his mother was an English. He lived in Israel for many years. Probably a week ago he returned there. He did not have permanent residence in Poland. He was only here on business. I don't remember his name because he had a typical Arabic name and surname. Miron decided to go to Israel and there, with the help of the Israeli police, continue the investigation. All this was supposed to last four so I took so much time off and decided to accompany him and help with the investigation. We were supposed to go the day after tomorrow, so I had to quickly pack the most necessary things and arrange all matters related to the apartment and offices. After all, the apartment could not stand empty for so long, so I decided to rent it. A friend of one of my patients was looking for a flat to rent this period.
II
We have been in Israel for two days. At that time (and so short), nothing has been established yet. Meetings were arranged. Later this week, we were supposed to meet the local police and make plans for an investigation here. We had a trusted translator with us. He flew with us from Poland. He studied Arabic philology. His name was Andrzej and he was 27 years old. He is very talented. But he was never abroad. But he wanted to visit at least one of the Arab countries, but he couldn't because he couldn't afford it.
III
We've just come out of a meeting with the local police. The investigation has been officially opened. We could start an investigation tomorrow. After the meeting with the police, we established his presumptive description. The local police knew who they were talking about. He was already listed here for minor financial scams. Raz was even arrested for attempted murder. Nobody knew why he tried to do this. He was released six months earlier for good behavior. It was already known today. It was 11:30 and we returned to the hotel. We started planning how to thoroughly smooth our investigation here. We were supposed to start with nearby restaurants and shops. Maybe someone knows something.
IV
We found an apartment that he was renting. We found them thanks to the seller from the shop opposite the block where the apartment was located. There weren't many things in this apartment. All in all, only the most necessary. There was not much food in the glaciers. But under the pile of clothes near the bed we found scrolls, probably from the Bible, and these were the scrolls: "Books of the Prophet Malachi", "War of Light against Darkness" and "Scroll of hymns". We don't know yet why he had them. But we wanted to find out. After three hours we returned to the hotel. We found his notes and research results between the scrolls. His test results were very good, but we didn't know why he was doing them. On the other hand, he took very serious notes. Each paragraph (all of which was always lengthy and informative) began with deliberations. wondered about the person of Jesus Christ and what was his relationship with the Essenes. How did he die? Who was the traitor Judas really, or Jesus' best friend? Probably he wanted to unravel some historical mystery. But how does this relate to our case? At the very end of all notes, he is presumed to be God's chosen one and he is to make the last resort. But what exactly was he up to? We do not know. But it probably has to do with recent events. But why should he start his work in Poland? I hope we will clear it up soon.
CHAPTER VI
I
One more thing puzzles me, how did he find people to his foray, and how he persuade them to do it? What arguments did he use? If we clarify any doubts, a few more immediately arise. We've been here for a month. We actually have three more, but so far nothing seems to speed up in our case, in particular that if we explain something, we still get more unexplained puzzles, which complicates the solution to us and so many previously unclear cases with whom we came here. Therefore, I hope that what we have already learned will help us to clarify our case. This is our main suspect and the perpetrator of all events must have problems with the psyche because no normal would make it up. But there is no real guarantee yet. After reading all the necessary materials, useful for the investigation, as well as analyzing what we found and got from the people and policemen who helped us, we got to the content which contained the solution to a puzzle. I hope that after analyzing it, I will find out something that could lead us to some information, some clue that would tell us something, for example, what was the man's motive, what made him do such actions.
II
From what I found out, he found the trail of one of the modern sects with roots in previous centuries. It is found in every country in Europe, the United States, Canada, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It was not in any of the Arab countries, and that is because of its behavior, the unlawfulness of the countries there, and a few other reasons that I did not understand. Its assumptions were similar to those of the Isaiah sect (which for centuries was associated with the Essenes and Templars), which committed secretive murders during the times of the Cross. Probably works with them. It is possible that the people who work with him belong to this sect. That would explain so many mysterious deaths. Fortunately, it was discovered early and prevented it from spreading to more countries. We informed first to Poland, and then to other countries where this sect is located, about our discovery. The police and other uniformed services initiated a search for people belonging to the sect and confiscated everything that belongs to it.
III
After a month of time, we managed to find out more. Miron and Andrzej returned from the police station. There they found out that after a month of searching they found the wanted man, but unfortunately dead. The body was lying near the temple. He was ritually murdered and planted there. From what has been found out by the local police, it was a ritual of this sect. They murder their own people who are controlled by the authorities and can tell or lead them to the root causes of all crimes related to them. Now there is also an investigation into the death of pope, because his real name was and the sect to which he belonged. He moved to Israel and changed his personal details because he was already wanted by arrest warrants all over Europe for murder and petty theft. He probably thought no one here would look for him.
Chapter VII
I
As we found out, ritual murders were not the only rituals of this sect. They, too, persecuted young, especially attractive, women. And it wasn't just that they followed them and took an interest in their lives. They also tried to drag them into the car, take them away, and then rape them. In addition, if they did not agree, which was the case, they harassed them with threats by mail and telephone, as well as silent calls. On top of that, there was nothing the police could do. They were very clever.
II
Fortunately, charges can now be brought against them. But you can't stop them that quickly or catch them all. We do not know how many there are and where they are all hiding. And from what we learned, they started with Poland because it is a difficult country to destroy. People who know how to unite and fight each enemy of their country very well in such situations. In addition, it is mostly Catholic, which is also considered a backwater. They're probably planning another attack right now. We just don't know when and what. So it will be necessary to establish an emergency state and introduce thorough checks on visitors, on the roads, and in public places. Also, check all suspects. You cannot let anything worse happen and spread even more.
III
Over the past few days, the number of reports of rape and attempted rape has increased. But the number of reports of suspicious types hovering under the block has also increased. Unfortunately, as it happened in the case of rapes, our suspects, unfortunately not in the case of the latter. They were just ordinary skinheads wandering around the estates or ordinary thieves, completely harmless like the homeless and drug addicts. At least thanks to this, in Poland and other countries, crime began to drop drastically and security increased. Maybe it will make our work easier. At least I hope so.
IV
In some countries, a few suspects have been successful, but unfortunately, they do not want to fall. So they will not help us in anything, but they will not hinder us either. But the fact that we caught some of them for sure their associates was filled with cold fear. My guess is that they will be careful not to find them and not disturb them. But it will definitely make their work difficult for them, fortunately. It is possible that their plans may have changed. Before they come up with something new, it will take them some time, and it will give us time to plan the action more carefully, in which we can prevent the catastrophe or prevent it from spreading more, and that it does not do as much damage as planned.
Chapter VIII
I
We have been in Israel for the third month and we will be returning to the country soon. I am very happy about that. In particular, we managed to clear up so many things. I think all of them. If not, the Israeli police are supposed to notify us about everything anyway. What is the most important thing, we found out anyway? They are very important to us and have led to many other issues that will help solve our main case, which has harmed so many people and has put people, security services, and everyone at attention. At worst we will come again although I would prefer not to. She does not want to part with her beloved work in the hospital, friends and family for so long, but only with almost contact with the family, because unfortunately, I see her very rarely. And most of all it is behind your country. However, Israel is very strange to me, although very beautiful. Israel is really different from Poland in everything. Language, culture, religion, lifestyle, and anything else. It has a fascinating culture and interesting people, although some are or can be dangerous. Money in this period is not a problem, because Miron got me half-time in the police and I still have money from renting a flat.
II
We haven't heard anything in the last week or anything about our case. Maybe that's better. We will only be able to continue the entire investigation in Poland. Maybe we can get back to the country a week earlier, to my delight. But I have no guarantee. At least you can relax and do some sightseeing. In the last days of our stay in Israel, apart from this earlier information about him, we only learned that he committed petty theft. So we could safely return to Poland and continue the investigation there.
III
We've been in Poland for a few hours now. I still have three days off from work, Miron also told me to take time off and rest. And then get down to hard work. But after what we've learned so far, I have a feeling this won't last long. Provided that no complicating events occur again in the course.
Rozdział IX
I
After all this time, I was finally able to go back to work. The last ones were luckily calm and you could rest. As soon as I entered the hospital, I was surprised to find the corridors as empty as ever. I immediately went to the nurses office and found out that this situation had been going on for two weeks. Some patients even called, asking why they did not come and whether not to postpone the visit. But unfortunately they failed. I decided to try to contact at least one of them. In the meantime, I called Miron and informed him of the situation. He promised me that he would help me clear things up. We agreed that I would give him some of the leads on these patients, and I would try to check some myself. In the meantime, I went to the ward, on rounds. Some patients' health deteriorated, but most were stable or improving. I went back to the office. I decided to spend some time watching TV and drinking coffee. There were no interesting programs or movies, and no sensational information in the news either. I took care of two patients who didn't show up. One of them lived not far from the hospital. I went there, in case a patient did arrive, the nurses were to inform me.
II
I've been at my patient's apartment for five minutes. He has recently started treatment. Cancer recently detected, but not dangerous, in the early stages. His name was Piotr K*****. He lived alone and hardly had a girlfriend. His sister, who was three years older than him, let me into the house. There has been no contact with him for six days. She reported him missing to the police, but so far they don't know anything, the search has only recently begun. There were reportedly no signs that he was about to flee or commit suicide. But in the morning his sister Anna found some poems. But they weren't love poems. One of the poems struck me the most. Of course she gave me all of them. I decided to tackle this poem first. I promised her that if I found out anything I would let her know.Chapter X
I
After a week of waiting for information from Krzysztof about Piotr. As it turns out, half a year he went to meetings with a psychologist (Marcelina - that was his psychologist's name), and at the time of his disappearance, he reported to the psychiatric ward in Krakow.
And he was just pointing out his depression and confusion. At least we found one patient and found out what was happening to him.
II
most of the patients, we found out, went abroad to continue their treatment there. They were afraid that he would end up like Michal and Mikolaj. The last patient I have been looking for is in the intensive care unit in Krakow. It was moved from Chrzanów because the local hospital does not have equipment adapted to this type of damage. His name is Bartlomiej L ******. His nervous system was damaged. In terms of morphology, the nervous system is divided into central and peripheral. The central one includes the brain and the spinal cord, while the peripheral is the cranial nerves and the spinal nerves. From the functional point of view, the nervous system is divided into somatic, which directs conscious activities, and autonomous, which controls the work of internal organs. And in his case, the lesions involve the central nervous system and the somatic nervous system. So it means that he is paralyzed (limpness of the legs) and his internal organs (such as the kidneys) are not functioning. The condition is stable, but it does not threaten to improve and whether it will wake up at all.
III
As far as I know, a note was found next to him. I asked Miron to arrange it for me. Maybe there is something on it that can tell us why it really happened. But why exactly so many of my patients suffered or got scared of the situation and changed doctors and facilities?
