Down the Stairs/Home Forever | Campfire Stories with MrBallen
Summary
MrBallen shares two eerie tales: a 17-year-old in China who, after retrieving a shuttlecock in a dark basement, emerges at a different location and discovers his best friend has vanished from all records and memories. The second story reveals a dress shop’s “mannequin” is actually the preserved corpse of a woman who died before her wedding, which her mother has displayed for decades while denying its true nature.
