Dormia no mesmo quarto com meu irmão, desde pequeno. Ele sempre teve muitos episódios de pesadelos, acordava no meio da noite aos gritos, dizendo ver monstros e vultos. Ninguém dava muita bola, achávamos que era medo comum de criança. Mas aquilo me incomodava muito, pelo fato do susto que ele me dava acordando aos gritos de madrugada. Isso me irritava muito. Uma certa noite, eu estava tendo certa dificuldade de dormir, acordava com frequência por nenhum motivo. Em um desses despertar, ainda zonzo de sono, senti que tinha alguém andando no quarto (cujo o chão era de tacos de madeira). Pensei ser minha mãe, que praticamente todas as noites ia até nosso quarto, pela madrugada, para conferir se estava tudo bem. Ao olhar em direção a cama do meu irmão, vi um vulto em pé ao lado da cama dele, com a mão esticada indo em sua direção, como se fosse toca-lo. Tive certeza que era nossa mãe, e virei para o outro lado para tentar voltar a dormir. Na mesma hora, meu irmão começou a gritar, desesperado, assim como ele fazia em quase todas as noites de pesadelo que ele tinha. No susto, sentei e esfreguei meus olhos para ver melhor e tentar entender o que estava acontecendo. Ao olhar para meu irmão, ele se debatia na cama, aos gritos, e ninguém ao lado dele. Uns 10 segundos depois, minha mãe entra no quarto e acende as luzes, indo até meu irmão para tentar acalma-lo. Ainda sem entender o que estava acontecendo, perguntei pra minha mãe se ela tinha acabado de vir ao nosso quarto. Ela estranhou a pergunta e disse que não, que estava em sono profundo e que tomou um baita susto com a gritaria do meu irmão. Na mesma hora me deu um “gelo” na barriga, e entendi que provavelmente os pesadelos do meu irmão não eram tão coisa de criança assim. I used to share a room with my brother since we were little. He always had a lot of nightmares, waking up in the middle of the night screaming, saying he saw monsters and shadows. Nobody took it very seriously, thinking it was just a common childhood fear. But it bothered me a lot, especially because of the fright I got from his screams in the middle of the night. It really irritated me. One night, I was having trouble sleeping, waking up frequently for no reason. During one of these wakeful moments, still groggy with sleep, I felt someone walking in the room (which had wooden floorboards). I thought it was my mother, who almost every night would come to our room to check if everything was alright. Looking towards my brother's bed, I saw a shadow standing next to it, with a hand stretched out as if to touch him. I was sure it was our mother, and I turned to the other side to try to get back to sleep. Immediately, my brother started screaming in desperation, just like he did on most nights when he had nightmares. Startled, I sat up and rubbed my eyes to see better and try to understand what was happening. When I looked at my brother, he was thrashing in bed, screaming, and there was no one beside him. About 10 seconds later, my mother entered the room and turned on the lights, going to my brother to try to calm him down. Still not understanding what was happening, I asked my mother if she had just come into our room. She found the question strange and said no, that she was in deep sleep and got a huge fright from my brother's screaming. At that moment, I felt a chill in my stomach, and I realized that my brother's nightmares might not be just childish things after all.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
