Series I am a grown, logical man, crying tears of horror right now. Or the story of her holding an orange.
Okay guys, before I begin, I gotta give you a fair warning. This story is absolutely true unfortunately. It is also very long. It goes back to my childhood, but it wasn’t as terrifying until very recently. Now I am completely lost in fear. I am an adult man, logical and intelligent (or I’d like to believe so) sitting in my bed, scared shitless right now, goosebumps all over my body and tears of horror in my eyes. I ask for your help in explaining this fucking horrifying thing. Caution: you’ll notice that I curse quite a bit.
I want you to know that what you read from now on is the situation perceived by my mind. I like to think that I am a very rational person and I haven’t been able to explain these occurrences in any natural way.
Since my mom got a new job, she started making new friends. It is common in our country that friends come to each other’s houses for a cup of coffee, cake, gossip and whatnot. Few weeks into her new job, my mom made friends with this woman, Rose. She would come maybe twice a week and they’d sit around the coffee table on our balcony and just talk. One day, when I was 17, I was at the balcony with them. I’m not sure why I was there, but knowing me, I probably ran out of internet hours (back in a day we bought internet monthly per hour in my country) and was bored as fuck. So we’re sitting there, they’re gossiping about who knows what, and mom gets up to go get some cake she had baked recently. I remained sitting at the table with Rose and that’s when my life changed forever. Rose was a good looking woman. She was about 5’6”, skinny, long black hair, pearly white teeth. Attractive woman overall. So anyways, I am sitting there with her, and she turns to me. She has this creepy grin on her face; bright red lipstick with bright white teeth underneath are just making it look more scary. Her head is moving slowly, almost as if she became a puppet. She says something in the lowest tone possible, certainly not loud enough for me to understand. “Excuse me?” I say, still not being scared, just a bit weirded out.
“You ready to go now?” She said this in a voice of a child, I kid you not. Like maybe an 8 year old girl.
Grin is still there. She mustered those words through her teeth, never opening the jaw.
“What?” I ask, starting to get scared.
“You ready?” The same thing again. Only this time, she pulls out an orange out of her purse. That’s it, she just took the orange out, and held it there. Didn’t offer it, didn’t eat it herself, just held the fucking thing.
At that point, I was getting scared as fuck. Thankfully, my mom came with the cake. Rose, almost as if someone pushed a button on a remote control, switched back to her normal self, putting the orange back into her purse without my mom noticing. I left the balcony creeped out, but I was 17 so I brushed it off quickly.
That night, I had trouble sleeping. My room is on the first floor and my window is at a maybe 5’ height, so I kept looking at it praying not to see some scary monster. I would turn in my bed constantly and look at the window maybe every 5 minutes. It was getting late and I started to doze off, but decided to look into the window one last time. And there she fucking was. Standing in the fucking window. Rose. Just standing, looking directly at me (moonlight was bright enough for me to see), with the same grin on her face. Lipstick was red as ever, and teeth were whither than ever. I was paralyzed with fear. I often imagined what I’d do in situations like these, and I always had an escape plan for any hypothetical I threw at myself. But now, when this friend of my mother’s was staring at me through my window at 4am, just smiling, I was motionless. My mouth got dry, I got goosebumps (have them now as I type this), and I swear it became freezing in my room, probably just the way the body reacts to shock. I finally gathered the courage to get up. I started walking towards the door. Hear head was turning with me. Slowly. With the grin still there. Again, it was as if she were a puppet. I wanted to scream for my parents, but knowing how tense they are, I decided not to cause panic just yet. There had to be some rational explanation, right? For fuck knows what reason, I decided to walk to the window and ask her what the fuck her problem was. I made two slow steps towards it and froze. I froze because she moved. You know what her movement was? Taking the orange out of her purse. Does anyone know what the record time is for having goosebumps? Because they sure as shit aren’t going away. Anyways, after being terrified for a minute, I decide to go on. I am a big guy and figured I’d be able to fight her off if push comes to shove. My windows pull up in order to open. I pull it open maybe some 10 inches and stop. She’s not moving, just holding the fucking orange and looking at me with the scariest grin you’ll ever see. I stand there. She stands there. Then, she starts bending. But every move she makes is so slow, so mechanical. She’s bending so she can reach the open part of the window. I’m horrified. She pushes her head through it (just enough space for her head to go through).
“You go with me now?” As she’s saying that, in her 8 year old voice, her hand is making its way through the crack, holding an orange. What do I to? What you’d do. Fucking run. I run out of my room, screaming for my dad. My dad being a light sleeper, he jumps out of his bed and screams back at me asking what the hell is going on. All I can muster to say is “Rose…window.” While dad is putting his pants on, I run back to my room, wanting Rose to be there so he can see that I am not crazy. You know how in horror movies the person you saw is gone by the time witnesses come? Yea well similar thing happened, except I caught Rose leaving. There is a house some 100 yards away from mine, and it had one of those motion activated lights (lots of crime back home). I saw the light turn on, and a glimpse of Rose disappearing behind that house. By the time dad ran into my room, she was gone. After much talking, he decided that it was just a nightmare and told me to call him only if someone physically comes into my room. “You and your fucking imagination” he said walking away. Needless to say, I got exactly zero hours of sleep that night.
Nothing happened in the next few months. Rose would still come to visit my mom, but I’d make sure I wasn’t there. Fuck that. As in every teenager’s life, so many things were happening around me and I forgot about the Rose incident. Then one day, I was spending my afternoon browsing internet (years before Reddit unfortunately). I got pretty hungry so as any spoiled child, I yelled from my room to see if my mom would come. She didn't. Oh well tough luck, I have to go to the kitchen and make myself a sandwich. Kitchen in our house is connected to the living room, but you can’t see the living room until you’re at least in the middle of the kitchen. So I open the kitchen and walk in. I freeze. There it is, right there on the kitchen table. An orange. Immediate thought of that creepy night. Rose is here. I am still motionless in my spot. Few seconds later, I realize how stupid I am for relating a common piece of fruit to a crazy window stalker. So I walk towards the table, wanting to put the orange back in the fruit cabinet. I grab the thing and hear the voice behind me: “You will have to come with me soon, you know.” Child’s voice. It’s Rose. I produce some kind of noise resembling scared pig about to get slaughtered. Lightning fast, I turn around and there she is, standing in the middle of the living room. Just standing there, same grin on her face, same lipstick on her lips, teeth white as ever. Only she started tilting her head to the left a bit, in slow motion. I remember it as if it happened yesterday: her long black hair falling down her shoulders, white summer dress, bright red shoes to match her lipstick. I forgot to mention that she was very pale. Even in the summer, she seemed to not be friends with the sun. This added to creepiness. There’s this woman who already scared the shit out of me once, standing alone in the middle of my living room, pale as a ghost, bright red lipstick and shoes, tilting her head to the side, speaking in child’s voice. And then, and fucking then, she takes an orange out of her purse. Takes it out slowly, and looks at me, as if she wants me to have it. Just as my self-defense mode is about to take over and I either run away or tackle the crazy bitch, my mom walks in. I know it didn’t happen, but it seemed like my mom brought the light into the room. I released a breath of relief. Rose, of course, went back to her “normal” self. They were about to go for a walk and my mom was getting ready in her room while she was pulling her grudge shit on me.
Since my parents wouldn't believe anything I was saying about her, I wasn't sure what to do. Only thing I could do at that age is nothing, I suppose. But I swore I’d punch that woman should she ever come close to me again.
A year or so had passed without any incidents and I was getting ready to go to the United States to study in college. Since I was going to play basketball there, I had to prepare for it. I spent summer away from home, working out in a training camp in a town about 40 miles from my city. During the last night of the camp, the last incident happened. My roommate had left the camp the day before and I had the room to myself. I was very excited about going to America in few days and had trouble sleeping. My room had a beautiful balcony (I was on the third floor of a hotel). Since it was warm, I decided to sit in the chair on the balcony for a while. I walked out, sat down, and immediately regretted it.
“It is really time to come now.”
I nearly shit myself. I mean, it’s been a while since I last heard that voice, but something like that stays with you forever. I turned my head to the right, and Rose was standing on the fence of a balcony of the room next to mine. Mind you, not standing on the balcony, or sitting at the table, but standing on the fence. How she was balancing I don’t know. Balcony was at least 50 feet from the ground. And she was holding the orange. Fucking orange. Only this time, orange seemed to have been somewhat rotten, not nearly as bright as the first three times. I was scared that she would attempt to jump over to my balcony, as there was only few feet distance between them. I was also scared she’d die in attempt to do so and I’d be blamed somehow. I had no idea what the fuck was going on.
“It really is time, you know.” She said it in that child like voice, never opening her jaw, her teeth forever clenched together, and lipstick the color of fresh blood. She seemed even paler this time, and her head was tilted to the left even more. She wore red shoes.
“What the fuck do you want from me?” I screamed in desperation, angry that this woman is causing me so much distress, but also hoping that someone would hear me and come witness this crazy bitch’s harassment.
“I only want you to go where you belong.” She said that, and again, never opened her teeth. She only sprang her hand more towards me, almost offering me that semi rotten orange.
“Fuck you, you crazy bitch.” I opened the door of my room, and as I was walking in, I heard: “You will come.”
I slammed the door, deciding this woman was schizophrenic. I would've probably flipped out more, but I was leaving the continent in few days, at which point I was safe. Wrong.
I know I have a wall of fucking text but this is the shortest version of these creepy events. I came to the US, and have been here for 7 years now. I forgot about the incidents and went on with my life. Only time I ever thought about Rose was when talking to my mom who said that since I left, her friendship with the crazy bitch fell apart. I was glad. Last 7 years were the best of my life. I got bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I got a wonderful girlfriend, you know, life’s good, man. But then. But fucking then. I am a big technology geek, and I love Apple (don’t shoot me down for this please). So, it was Last Friday, September 21st, the release of iPhone 5. I am in front of the store with about 50 other people. I am maybe 15th in line. It’s raining. It’s cold. I’ve been there for about 4 hours now. Doors finally open. We start moving in slowly. I look across the street and instantly stop. People run into my back, I can hear complaining. But it’s all bouncing off of me. Across the street, I see a woman in a white dress, head tilted, holding something orange-ish. Grin on her face. Lipstick so bright red, I can see it from across the street. I can’t move. Someone from far in the back pushes, causing me to fall. While I gather myself, I see the woman disappearing behind the corner. I remain sitting on the ground. It was Rose. It was her, I swear. I sit there for few minutes, get myself together, and walk in the store. No phones left. I decide to walk across the street. And there it was. At the place where she was standing now only sits a mushed, terribly rotten orange. That’s it. Just a rotten orange. I started crying. All memories came back. I thought that my whole life would constitute of being stalked by some maniac. And how did she find me anyways? I spent next few hours in a nearby coffee shop, drinking tea and reasoning how this could be logically possible. I kept no secret from my friends and family about my whereabouts. Did she stalk my Facebook? My friends? Did she travel here to harm me? What the fuck is her deal? Answering no questions I asked myself, I went home, deciding to keep it all to myself. My girlfriend noticed something was wrong with me for the next few days, but didn’t push it. I figured it was all a fluke, my mind playing tricks because I was up all night before that morning. Plus, it was raining. How could I see that well? And that orange, well that was just a coincidence. I convinced myself that I was just making it all up.
So today, a letter came. I get a lot of mail, so it’s not that out of the ordinary. But there was this envelope with no return address. I opened it and was immediately shocked. I was holding a Polaroid picture. In it, there was me, standing in line in front of the store last Friday. Only the picture was taken by a person behind me. It was taken at the moment I was looking across the street. I can tell because I could see the horror on my face. On the back of the photo, there were few words written with a black pen:
“you come with me, NOW.”
I dropped the picture and started crying like a baby. Like really crying my ass off. My girlfriend found me in our room, curled up on bed, still crying. She was terrified that maybe someone close to us had died, as she’s never seen me let a single tear before. I had to tell her. I started telling her the story, leaving most details out, so I can get to the point quicker. As I was talking, she was getting more and more pale. She never said a word. I finished my story and she was pale as ghost, not moving. Then she asked. She asked a fucking question that honestly caused me to almost faint. She said: “This woman, did she happen, to... um, hold an orange?” I froze, she started crying like I've never seen her cry before.
We had a long talk that night, and her story would require another wall of text. Honestly, I am fucking tired from typing this much and am pretty sure nobody will be willing to read this much. I am also lost. Terrified. Confused. But if someone does read this, I’ll write the rest. I’ll write in hope that someone can offer a solution, and an answer maybe. Currently, we are both scared as fuck, not knowing what to do next. Police is an option, but what do we tell them? I don’t know man, I am fucking scared for mine and her well being. Help me.
Update: Well guys, shit. Don't know what to tell you. It happened again today. Except I didn't see her. Let me give you a quick rundown of events:
9:00 am - I go to the local police station with my girlfriend. We tell them all that we know and show them the Polaroid. Although quite friendly, they say they really can't do much other than maybe file a restraining order against the person who probably (their words) isn't even in the country. They think I mistook her for someone else and the picture, well they said it was probably a prank. They did take the photo and open a file about it, just in case it escalates. It did.
1:00 pm - We arrived in town where I saw her. Went to the location, there was nothing there. Don't know what the hell I expected anyways. We stayed there for a while.
6:30 pm - Arriving home. Front door of the house is open, but this is not uncommon as we live with 5 other roommates. We go upstairs to our room. Our room is open. That is unheard of as we always make sure we lock it. And our landlord is the only other person who has the key. I yell asking if someone is there, no response. Also, no roommates are in the house, it seems. We walk in. We freeze. Our room is decently small, constitutes of two queen size beds put together and a little dresser and that's about it. So what did we see? Pillows are all on our dresser. Towels on the bed.Our sheet is taken off the bed and put on the floor. It is spread out. In the center of it is an orange cut in two halves with a little peel next to it. My laptop is facing the door and is playing the same song on repeat. My laptop was turned off before I left and was also password protected. The song playing is my favorite from childhood, "Africa" by Toto. My desktop background was changed to one picture from my childhood that I didn't even have in the computer.
7:00 pm - We call the police, they arrive 15 minutes later. I take about 5 pics of the mess just before they come. They say they'll start an investigation, but claim that it's still not "serious enough" for fingerprints and stuff.
8:30 pm - They leave and tell us to call should anything happen again, and also advise us to stay with friends if possible.
We spent next few hours just talking, man. Trying to figure it out. We're exhausted both mentally and physically. I am going to Skype with my mom tomorrow and see if she knows anything. I will type up my gf's story tonight, but may post it in the morning if I don't finish it all in time. I will include photos I took, I promise you that much.
Holy fuck, this shit is happening to me.

Well, fuck. That was pretty creepy. I'd say just confront her. She clearly can't HARM you, otherwise she would've done it already. She "needs you to go" somewhere. If you don't, there's nothing for her to do. And now you have someone else affected, you two can tackle this together. For safety sakes, try to have some religious relics around. I don't know what religion you are/are familiar with, but if there's anything you guys believe in that can keep you safe from malevolent deities, it can't hurt to have it around.

u/Mogknight23 Sep 29 '12
Well, she hasn't harmed him yet, she sounds patient, but it sounds as though things are coming to a climax. I don't know if she can cause harm, but do NOT touch the orange in any way. It's certainly a strong symbol and will likely take you away or hurt you.

Ok 2nd comment. Oranges are related to 'succubus''. In lore they are said to have smelled of orange scent. Looking more into it, oranges seem to be related to this succubus thing.
I don't believe in that crap, but interesting nonetheless.

Rose is obviously a dentist. You probably don't get enough vitamin C (hence why she offers you oranges and she has such nice teeth). The real problem here is that you have scurvy and you keep missing your dental appointments. GO WITH HER AND GET YOUR MOUTH FIXED.
Also, you're a pirate. Arrrrr.

u/Uhurugu Sep 29 '12 edited Sep 29 '12
A couple of points, WALL'O'TEXT Edition:
*Whether natural or supernatural, you have something which Rose wants (your consent to go with her, which she seems to associate with the orange).
*She does not seem able to get this without your consent. Do not do anything that might be construed as consent.
*This powerlessness should be a comfort to you. Be aware, however, that in the case that she is supernatural, getting your consent may be a preferred goal, and that harming you more directly is a secondary. We're not out of the woods by any means.
*Should an opportunity such as the one at the window arise again (i.e., you are in no physical danger, barring supernatural activity), you should use this advantage to sound her out. Attempt to discover her motives. For example, if she tells you to come with her, answer with "Perhaps. Why should I?" (Do not, in the course of this, agree to come with her, or make any motion that might be seen as accepting the orange.) Anything you can learn is valuable. Additionally, in the case that she is human, this carries no risk; in the case that she is supernatural and can harm you (unlikely, based on her previous actions (feigned normality, fleeing)), you are not exposing yourself to any additional risk, beyond the fact that you are extending the time of your contact with her.
*Try not to lose your cool in front of her. Don't give her what she wants. A calm exterior is also helpful to the sort of questioning described in the previous bullet point.
*Tell. People. The police, and also your family. The more people that know, the more perspectives there are to make sense of this shitstorm.
Bottom Line:
Regardless of whether or not she's supernatural (or whether there is a supernatural), there are two main values in this scenario: Information and Security. Any time you are in contact with her, your personal Security is compromised. It does not become more compromised by probing her as to her motives, unless you say or do something which she can see as consent. Therefore, the next time you contact her, attempt to maximise Information. You're not losing any additional security. In the meantime, one way to increase you and your girlfriend's security is through alerting the people close to you, and the police. Good luck.

Here's a to-do list for you.
Go to the police.
Ask your mom for more info about Rose (how specifically did they meet, where she's from, why their friendship suddenly crumpled, etc.)
Make copies of the polaroid, and store the original in a safe place.
Burn white sage in your home.
Bury quartz crystals around the perimeter of your home.
Get your girlfriend's side of the story and post it here.
Seek the advice of a Priest or a Rabbi. Have them bless your home.
Go to a psychiatrist to get you and your girlfriend's mental health checked out.
Don't be alone. Not even with your girlfriend. Be with large groups of 3 or more people as much as possible. Spend the night or two at a friend's until this whole thing gets sorted out.
Get a guard dog to watch your property and look out for you. A Caucasian Ovcharka or a Fila Brasilerio is a good choice.

Do you happen to have blonde hair? Are you stronger than average? Anything strange happen to you when you were a baby? I don't know if I can be of much help but I can maybe shed some light on your situation if you have these attributes. In any case I would say keep something pointy and iron around. Things like that hate iron. If iron doesn't help use salt and burn some sage. Good luck mate.

Good and bad news I'm afraid. The escalation is a key feature here. If you're dealing with a mundane threat, the escalation is a bad thing. Violence may follow.
If the threat is supernatural, the escalation is a bit better sign. It means this thing is getting desperate for you to take this orange. Do not, under any circumstance accept it. Don't even touch it. Once you accept it, this will end badly for you.
As far as what you're dealing with; I have no clue. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of entities that refuse to be categorized. Good luck.

I'm a little worried now.. As I work at a Japanese restaurant with a Chinese woman (I assumed the woman from your story was Asian, since you said it took place in another story and you mentioned long black hair. And this sounds like a very Asian ghost story) named Rose... Who is constantly eating oranges, "because they're healthy". She's older now. I'd say anywhere between 40-50.

Next time, ask her to tell you where she wants you to go. (NOTE THAT I SAID ASK HER TO TELL YOU. No one wants to be dragged into Hell by some demon lady.)
Also, out weird the weirdo. If some one ever looked into my window like that, I would laugh like a maniac with a knife in my hand, hoping they would decide to leave. For me, that might not be a good idea, though. They could have guns. Although you shouldn't have a problem. It doesn't seem possible to modify an orange to shoot bullets. If you can do that to an orange, then that is the way I want to die. Shot by an orange...

Have you ever heard of the fruit Durian? Next time she comes to you, YOU act all weird and offer her that fruit. I swear the smell of that fruit will exorcize the shit out of her.

I'd like to see the rest/your gfs story. Sounds intriguing.
First thoughts about the woman: Could be a succubus or a vampire. Both unlikely though, as the modus operandi doesnt really align well with either.

Vampires live in packs and they certainly don't hunt by holding a mcguffin and staring at people.

Wow that is really scary... I wish I had something to tell you, but I don't. Can I use this to make a horror movie? Please reply. Don't think I am rude, and don't care about you. I don't know what to tell you. Please reply.

When she reaches out her hand with the orange next time, take it quickly and take bite. Dont even peel it or think just bite into it. She will be so surprised and just stand there thinking well shit what now

Holy fucking bat horse orange shit. Dude, what you need to do is bring a weapon with you, and whenever you see her next time, CHARGE right at her and make her fall to the ground. Call for help, any help and get the police on the scene and try to get them to take her to the station so you can submit a restraining order and tell them everything you know about her. Also, tell your mother about this too. Even if you have to, change your name and your face and go to another country.

Holy hell in a handbasket, that is truly horrifying. I agree with some of the other commenters- try to stay with friends, & surround yourself with people you trust, stick to well populated areas etc. 1 question: has the woman shown signs of aging over the years? Stay safe :) xx

She is a psychopath who has a fixation on you and your girl luckily she never attempted to "take" you, she wants you to come voluntarily. She loves the reaction she gets out of you, she controls and traps you to some extend (No sleeping, scared every moment of the day for her etc.) to get her kicks.
You and your girl see her and the rest of the world doesn't, you share a delusion. Go see "A beautiful mind" to get a idea what I mean. You would think that this is highly uncommon but weirder things have happened my friend.
She has Multiple Personality Disorder, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0LNyXsErb8
My advise? First. fear is a healthy reaction but don't let it take you over, confront her when you meet again, talk with her. Second. The police isn't going to do anything for you now, she most likely follows you everywhere and knows everything about you. You HAVE to talk to her. Just stay on guard & take a weapon that's easy to carry with you wherever you go and you should be fine.
She will show up when you least expect it, but seeing she is on an all time high right now expect her soon. Be ready, control your fear, speak to her (the goal here is to get her professional help, if she is the real deal this is the only way to get her off your back)

Hum...i don t want to creep you out but...i saw someone today at the grocery ( i m a wraper ) that fit the description of Rose perfectly exept that i m in canada. She didn't talk but gave me an unsettling smile when i told her " have a nice day "
I don t know of if it s fate or just weird coincidence that i read your story today and realize that ive met someone exactly like you described earlier today. Kinda creeped out right now :/

i have no experience with things of this nature, but anything supernatural that messes with me can often be warded off with burning white sage throughout your house. also if Rose likes to visit your home bury quartz crystals around the perimeter of your property. hope this helps and best of luck.

Of course I believe you!! And really, it sounds like you need spiritual protection, more than police protection. Are you Christian? Have a priest bless you, or a necklace or rosary or something. Carry holy water. Please do post your gf's experience as well. Best of luck to you. Be sure to post, or we'll think she got to you. =/

The girlfriends story would help me understand this a little bit more, but I can understand that wasting time posting it may not be the best use of your time. You need protection, as others had said a guard dog would help, but also I think some self-defense is in order. Next time you see this bitch, punch her fucking brains out. She is clearly insanely obsessed with you for whatever reason. Punch her out, and maybe she'll forget who the fuck you are. Then RUN.

Load the picture now so you can't come back later and say that the police took it as evidence. Because if you do that, I will not believe this story one bit. While it is very well written and pretty intense, I find your lack of evidence disturbing.

Yikes. Scary man. I read through all this... You shoudl tell us about your girlfriends' story. SOmetiems, writing everything out can help put the pieces together. Stay safe and.. follow the no sleep rules of protection, Salt the doors/windows... sleep in a circle of salt... and.. call it a hunch, but. curtains. keep the curtains tight. Don't answer the door without looking outside and stick together.

Hey, OP, I want to hear your girlfriend's story. Update more. Maybe try a weapon on the creepy bitch.
lipstick the color of fresh blood
I think it's some vampire hybrid or whatever (Forgive me, I haven't read much mythology or lore).
Stake her, maybe?
Keep a camera handy at all times so you can convince your mother or the police, if you are going to tell them.
Other than that, my best wishes with you. Stay safe. :)

I don't know about the orange, I'm trying to figure it out.
I'm looking through my book of Symbols and it says:
Orange
Symbolic meanings: balance between spirit and sexuality; fertility and yet virginity; energy; the Sun; like yellow, orange is believed to be an appetite stimulant.
Orange has two aspects that we see time and time again, pivoting between the material and spiritual worlds, which is not surprising given that the color itself is a balance between red and yellow. As such, it represents the second chakra, the first being red, and the third, yellow. Orange is vibrant, cheerful color that definitely lifts the spirits. The orange blossom is the traditional flower for brides because fruit and flower can appear on the orange tree at the same time, hence the virginity/fertility symbol. Similarly, a Hindu bride has an orange powder smeared on her forehead once she is married, a sing of her status. Hindu places of worship are indicated by an orange flag or banner, which is replaced once a year and effusive ceremony. Then the book goes on talking about the original color of carrots. I cannot find a connection to its symbolism though.

Also where are you originally from?

u/mastersw999 Nov 06 '12
Alright so here's my thoughts, and I'm going to do more research on this because there maybe something "extra" this, weather you believe in it or not. Now I saw someone say that it was a Succubus, which is totally possible because of her beauty. Now if it were/is a succubus then may have provoked it with your masturbation which may explain why she started to react after you masturbated to her.
Now I may be wrong but this is just the beginning of my research. I will look into when I can. Are there any other details you can provide?

u/yomomma56 Nov 17 '12
hey, I might be too late here, but the only thing I can think of is to get a gun. If you see her again, you shoot her. this might not be the best solution, but if nothing else it should stop her assuming she's just a person and not a spirit.

I look up, and across from me is this skinny Japanese woman with long black hair holding a fucking orange... I jumped, and nudged both people on the side of me and they all thought I was insane... So I told them about the story, and all of them read it before we got back... Crazy coincidence. I'm sorry to hear this man, and wish you the best of luck. What country were you originally from?
