Midnight Encounter A Ghostly Shadow in the Army Barracks

It was a cold and windy December night in 2005, and I had just joined the army in Tangshan, Hebei Province. After a long day of training, I was looking forward to a good night’s sleep when suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I got up quickly and dressed, and headed out of our dormitory. Unfortunately, the men’s room was located outside the dormitory building, so I had to walk a little ways to get there.

As I stepped outside, I bumped into a fellow soldier named Yu, who was from the same town as me. He asked me where I was going, and I told him I was headed to the washroom. Yu paused for a moment, then suggested we go together. I didn’t mind, as there was a rule that new soldiers had to go to the toilet in pairs.

As we walked towards the washroom, we didn’t say much. The night was bitter cold and the wind was howling around us. Suddenly, a long dark shadow flitted past us, but we didn’t acknowledge it to each other and continued on our way.

When we reached the washroom, I quickly went inside to do my business while Yu stood outside smoking a cigarette. As I sat there, I couldn’t stop thinking about the shadow we had seen earlier. It was strange because there was a playground behind the dormitory, and if someone walked on the gravel, it would make a sound. But we didn’t hear anything, even though it was a silent night.

Suddenly, I shouted out to Yu and asked him if he had seen the shadow too. He replied that he had, and that it seemed like a person’s shadow. We both thought it was strange because there was no one else around at that time of night.

As we walked back to the dormitory, we passed by the playground again. Suddenly, a shadow flitted past us once more, and this time I saw it too. The shape of the shadow looked like a woman with long hair in a dress. There was only one high searchlight in the playground, and it was behind us, which meant the shadow we saw was projected by the light behind us. But that didn’t explain the feeling I had that something was right behind my back.

At that moment, I felt a chill run down my spine, and my body was covered in goosebumps. I couldn’t move, I was frozen in fear. Yu and I screamed and ran towards the dormitory, but he had to go on patrol that night, and I didn’t know how he managed to get through it. I never heard him talk about that incident again.

In the days that followed, I couldn’t stop thinking about the woman in the white dress. Who was she? What did she want? And why was she haunting the playground behind the dormitory?

From that day on, whenever I passed by the playground, I couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down my spine, and I always made sure to walk with someone else. I never wanted to face the woman in the white dress again.
