Haunting of the Red Robed Lady

👗🐦👻

I was visiting my aunt's old place.

The rest of the family was waiting downstairs, they wanted to go to the park. I didn't want to make them upset so I said I'd go too, they were waiting for me. I didn't really want to go, so I went to the living room instead, leaving them hanging.

I turned the pull-out couch into an exercise device, the one that you lift weights above your head on a pulley. It was a fancy pull-out couch that turns into a lat pulldown machine, apparently.

Someone entered the room just as I was done exercising. A random inconsequential stranger who asked what was the time. I said it's 3:71 AM. Just as I said that the clock on the wall synchronized, cause it was saying 3:75 earlier.

The person was amazed how I knew the time better than the clock and I said I had an ESP sense that lets me perceive the time.

The person was now gone and I saw something move in the window. I was afraid to check, it looked like a red woman in a robe, walking around.

On a second look, it was a bird and only appeared huge cause it was standing really close to the window on the balcony, the balcony appeared to be the street. (No, it didn't really make sense why the bird would be that disproportionately big in the window, non-euclidean dream physics, I suppose)

Next, I checked the actual balcony. As I headed there, I saw the books on the shelves, the TV, the old furniture. I wondered out loud who lived here all these years since the house didn't belong to my aunt anymore. She said a friend from church did, she answered despite not being present.

In the balcony, there were insulating pillows stacked in every wall and window, so it felt more like a cave than a balcony. There were children's drawings pinned on the wall, several stick figure comics.

I wondered who could have made these, but this time I got no answer..
