THE GRIM

Story written by Evan Holbein

From the age of 5 to 9 years I would see a black dog with red eyes. The black dog would always appear around Christmas time. I saw it every year for four years, but only over the Christmas period.

When I was living with my grandparents, I used to sneak downstairs to the living room to take a peek at the gifts and presents under the Christmas tree. The black dog was always there staring at me from under the tree, it would then chase me, but since the door to my room was too far from the living room, I would run to the wash room, lock the door, and sit there for 10-20 minutes. I then would open the door, peak out only slightly, and then run to my grandparent's room. I would ask my grandmother to sleep in her room, which for a child of 9 that was not normal.

This would happen every year, until one year my brother and I grabbed a some wrapping paper tubes, and decided that we were going to attack it, but it was not there and I have not seen it since.

During 2004, my dad, brother and I were watching a ghost show on TV, I cant recall the name. It spoke of a dog named "the grim" or something like that, which appears only on one day of the year, and the best way to get rid of it, is to face it. My father and my brother both stared at me, my dad then said "well, I believe you now son".
