We live in this world with too many unexplained phenomena, and there are too many things or things beyond the scope of our cognition, and the world is so big that there are no surprises.

Things that have been around people for too long will be contaminated with some popularity, and under the long-term support of this popularity, they will become strange spirits. This is true for animals and plants, as well as inanimate objects.

I had a colleague named Arley who told me a bizarre experience he had when he was in college. Although it didn't cause him any substantial damage, the inexplicable fear of the unknown still bothered him for a long time, so much so that for a long time, he would have a deep fear of his own shadow.

Ali studied at an agricultural university in Shandong, which was built on a mountainside and claimed to be closed to the outside world, but it was actually remote.

In his junior year, Ali met a classmate named Xiaojie, a fellow villager who lived in the dormitory next door to them, and they met when they were working part-time in the school library, and they were fellow villagers, so they quickly became acquainted.

Xiaojie is from a remote mountain village, his family conditions are not good, but his grades are very good, and he was admitted to this university with his hard work. Xiaojie is generous and has a lively and cheerful personality, while Ali is more honest, and the two fellow villagers with complementary personalities quickly get together.

At the end of a semester, the two agreed to find a part-time job together after the summer vacation, and then went home separately. But the same person has the same fate, that is, this separation, which separates the two yin and yang.

On the first day of returning to school, Ali went to the next bedroom to look for Xiaojie, but he didn't see Xiaojie all morning, and when he asked Xiaojie's roommate, he learned that he hadn't come to report yet. In this way, a few more days passed, and Xiaojie, who can usually be met in the dormitory building, did not meet him once. So Ali went to Xiaojie's bedroom again to find him, and only then did he know a bad news.

It turned out that Xiaojie, who came home from the summer vacation, was accidentally hit by a speeding truck when he went out, and he died before he could be sent to the hospital. This happened on the second day after returning to school, when the counselor saw a shortage of people during the roll call, so he called to inquire.

Ali was surprised but not very sad, after all, the time they had spent together was not too long, but every time he went to the library, he always had an indescribable sadness in his heart. People can't be resurrected after death, Ali doesn't know the location of Xiaojie's house, so he can't go directly to worship, so he can only silently pray in his heart that Xiaojie can rest in peace.

On the seventh day back to school, Ali took another part-time job at the library, but this time he was alone. The work of the library is actually very simple, that is, it is responsible for collecting and classifying the returned books.

Today, a new batch of books arrived in the library, and there were originally three administrators on this floor that Ali was in charge of, but unfortunately, one person took leave and the other fell ill and went to the hospital, which tripled the workload that should have been an hour.

At 9 p.m., the huge library is gradually less crowded, which makes the quiet picture gallery even quieter. Ali pushed a cart full of books, and put them into the shelves one by one, and the light emitted by the incandescent lamp was scattered on the rows of bookshelves from top to bottom, and the shadows reflected seemed to dance with Ali's shadow like life.

"One, two, three..."

In between breaks, Ali looked down and counted the remaining amount on the cart, when he suddenly felt like he was being stared at. Although human perception is not as strong as that of animals in nature, they still have feelings at a certain distance. It's like grabbing someone blindfolded, and even if you can't see it, you can roughly know that there are people around you.

Ali looked around his senses, and through the gap between the bookshelves, he saw a black shadow in the two rows of bookshelves between him, which he couldn't see clearly, but he could be sure that someone was there.

There are very few people who are still in the library at this time, but occasionally there are a few bookworms who stay late without a sense of time. Ali didn't immediately remind the man that it was getting late, but was ready to finish the work at hand first, and then go to see who was still holding back.

As he finished working on the last one, Ali let out a long breath, then looked in the direction of the man again, and found that he was still in place. I don't know which book is so attractive that it can make him forget time. After the work was done smoothly, Ali was in a good mood, and walked unhurriedly towards the man.

He quickly approached the bookshelf where the man was standing, and should have turned the other way to see it, but after a turn, Ali found that there was no one in front of him. There was still a figure in front of and behind him, and there was only a book that had fallen to the ground where he had just found a person.

Ali stepped forward to pick up the book and put it back on the shelf, and just then, the feeling of someone staring came out again, this time behind his back. An inexplicable sense of fear arose, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, wanting to turn his head but not daring.

When he was confused, he had an idea, thinking that he could check if there was anyone in his back by the shadow reflected by the light above his head, so that he didn't have to look back to make sure. The method was finalized, and Ali slowly lowered his head to check, which made his already frightened heart even more nervous.

For he could clearly see that the shadow of a man was reflected on the floor beneath his feet, and by the size of the shadow, he could tell that he was behind him. Ali was a little scared, obviously he had just confirmed that there was no one around, and now a figure appeared so suddenly, which made him unacceptable for a while.

After a moment of stalemate, Ali plucked up his courage and turned his head sharply to look, but there was still no one behind him. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, it is a ghost, Ali thought about it and came down in a cold sweat, and glanced at his feet uncontrollably, this time, he found that the strange figure seemed to be a little bigger, which meant that he was a little closer to him.

"it!"

Ali let out a low growl, turned his head and ran towards the exit, and as he ran a few steps, he clearly heard a sigh coming from his back, and the voice sounded familiar.

He ran to the exit of the library at a speed of 100 meters, and at this time a few students who were late in reading came to the corridor, and when Ali saw that there were still people, he stopped, and after quickly punching the exit card, he walked out of the library with the last wave of people.

Generally in schools, there are a lot of supernatural legends, and this kind of ghost collision incident is not the first time it has happened. Back in the dormitory, Ali quickly told his roommates about the ghost collision, but most of the roommates said that he was dazzled and didn't believe in any ghosts at all.

Ali didn't explain much, so he had to ask the library staff for leave first, thinking about hiding for a few days.

In the days following this, his mental state became worse and worse, and he either couldn't sleep at night or had nightmares in which he was trapped in the library, surrounded by shadows standing in the corners, and after waiting for a long time, these shadows let out a series of sighs.

One night, when Ali got up at night to go to the bathroom and was walking in the hallway, the feeling of being stared at suddenly came back to him. This time he seemed to be in front of him, and he looked up towards the end of the hallway, and in the dim yellow light, he saw a shadow standing in a corner at the end of the hallway.

The torture of the past few days made Ali a little numb, and he didn't feel scared for the first time, but walked forward while staring at the shadow. Sometimes that's the case, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come, and if you are not afraid, there will be nothing. As Ali got closer, the shadow disappeared out of thin air, right in front of him.

After coming out of the toilet, a sigh came from behind him again, and this time Ali heard it clearly, and the sound finally reminded him of where he had heard it. As he walked to the dormitory next to him, Ali stopped and began to sob, and it was about a few minutes before he returned to his dormitory.

At the window of the dormitory door next door, there is a vague shadow standing inside, sometimes dark and deep, sometimes like black fog, I don't know if it is expressing emotional fluctuations in this way.

The next day, Ali had a high fever, and when his roommate found out, he was sent to the infirmary as soon as possible. But at this time, he had a high fever and fell into a coma, and the school quickly sent Ali to the big hospital in the county, which stabilized his state.

After Ali left, the classmates in the next dormitory were going to the toilet at night when they stumbled upon a figure standing at the door and asked who it was. But the man was silent and didn't make a sound, so he raised the flashlight that came with his mobile phone to take a photo, but found that there was nothing.

At this moment, the whole dormitory exploded, and the news of Xiaojie's ghost coming back spread all of a sudden, and then in the middle of the night in the dormitory where Ali was located, someone also saw a figure standing outside the door and window, and as soon as the light was turned on, there was nothing.

It didn't get worse until the school readjusted the dormitories and replaced the hallway lights with high-wattage lights.

After Ali was discharged from the hospital, he took a few days off, and asked a few classmates from the two dormitories to go to Xiaojie's house together, and worshiped reverently in front of Xiaojie's grave. Before leaving, several people pooled some money and stuffed it into the hands of Xiaojie's elderly grandmother.

From the beginning of the matter, Ali finally confirmed that it was Xiaojie's ghost that had been following him all along, and the reason was that he had a dream when he was unconscious. In the dream, he saw clearly the shadow of the library at the beginning, which was Xiaojie and the scene when the two of them were sorting out the books together.

The story ends here, and Ali's voice is still a little trembling after three rounds of drinking. From his initial fear to his final sadness, this series of psychological activities made him believe that there were real ghosts in this world.

In fact, people also have two sides, yin and yang, the yin side is the shadow, and the yang side is the body, except for the five senses and colors that can be identified, the shadow is the same as the body.

However, the death of the ontology also announced the rebirth of the shadow, but the world and way in which it lives are different from ours.
