Roommates

This scary urban legend about two roommates is called “Aren’t you glad you didn’t turn on the lights”.

Two girls were roommates in college and they were studying for a midterm exam the next day. One of the girls decided to give up studying and go to bed while the other stayed up late because she wanted to do well in the exam.

During the night, the girl who stayed up remembered that she had left one of the books she needed in her roommate’s bedroom. She didn’t want to wake her roommate so she sneaked into the bedroom and rummaged around in the dark until she found the book she needed.

She heard some heavy breathing and she whispered her roommate’s name, asking her if she was awake. There was no answer.

The girl heard something moving and whispered “Can I turn on the lights? I need to find something.”

There was no answer.

So the girl continued to search in the darkness and eventually she found the book she was looking for. The girl took the book and felt her way in the darkness towards the door. She stayed up all night studying and in the morning, raced down to the exam hall to take her test. But her roommate never showed up for the exam.

The girl was worried about her friend so when she got home, she rushed into her roomate’s bedroom and was met with the most horrible sight she had ever laid eyes on.

Her roommate lay motionless, sprawled on top of her bed in a pool of blood. She had been murdered.

Then the girl turned around and saw something that chilled her to the bone. Written on the wall behind her in smeared blood were the words “Aren’t You Glad You Didn’t Turn On The Lights?”
