It’s 2005 and I’m at the cinema with a bunch of friends for someones birthday. It’s an old building in a small town in Lancashire.

The film finishes and we’re about to leave to go for some food but I ask them to wait whilst I quickly go to the bathroom.

I walk in and immediately I’m hit with the strong stench of rotting meat, I then hear a low growling and moaning coming from one of the stalls and I assume someone is unwell.

Before I can call out to check on them I hear a shuffling on the ground and this “girl” slides out under the gap in the stall door. Her face is a sickly green colour, her under eyes are dark and hollow and her hair is bedgraggled, sticking to her face. Her eyes are rolling in her skull and she’s groaning and growling.

It’s a frightening sight, and I run out of the bathroom. I’m a teenager at this time so I panic and tell a member of staff that I think someone is deathly unwell in the bathroom. My friends and I wait whilst two staff members go check it out, but they come out about 30 seconds later saying all the stalls are empty, there’s nobody in there.

There’s no way. I’m terrified of what I saw but I run straight back into the bathroom and confirm what the staff say, it’s empty. The smell has completely disappeared and the stall I saw her slide out from is empty with no signs of anything happening.

We were waiting in the corridor outside the bathroom the whole time so there’s no way she’d get out without us seeing.

I don’t know what I saw that day and have no explanation. At the time I knew something wasn’t quite right and that it wasn’t quite of this world, but I was telling myself that it was just a sick girl, thinking logically about it.

If I’d left after telling the staff then I would have always been able to tell myself that. But sticking around and finding out that she’d disappeared with no trace really spooked me.

Any ideas about what I saw that day?
