My 76-year-old grandfather would take me to the woods every day and force me to take off my clothes until I was almost half-naked. But one day, my mother secretly followed us and heard strange screams coming from the depths of the forest. When he came up and saw what we were really doing, his heart couldn’t stand it. He fell on his knees and burst into tears. 😨😭!!️
My name is Emily. I’m 20 years old and my grandfather Walter is 76.

Three months ago, something began to happen in our family that I didn’t even dare tell my mother.
Every morning, my grandfather would come to our house and wait until my mother left for work.
As soon as the door was closed, it would come to me.
—Emily, get ready. We’re going again today.

At first, I tried to make excuses.
Grandpa, please, I don’t want to go today.
But he always gave me the same answer.
—We can’t stop now. You know how important this is.
I silently picked up my bag.
The most terrifying thing was that my grandfather had strictly forbidden me from telling anyone about our encounters.
Especially to my mother.
I still remember the first day.
We arrived at a secluded area of the forest, where the road ended and only a narrow path remained, winding through the trees.

My grandfather stopped.
—You have to change your clothes here.
He handed me a light t-shirt and some athletic shorts.
I was confused.
—Grandpa, why?
—You’ll understand later. We have to get in the water.
When I saw the stream, my whole body began to tremble.
—I don’t want to do it.
My grandfather looked at me.
—Emily, please trust me.
From that day on, everything repeated itself.
We would go to the forest, I would change my clothes and then we would go to the stream.
Sometimes I was so scared that I couldn’t even speak.
Other times she cried.
Once, I even screamed at the top of my lungs.
—GRANDPA, PLEASE STOP!
He stopped immediately.
—Okay, Emily. That’s enough for today.
But we went back again the next day.
Every time I came home, my clothes were wet, my eyes were red, and my hands were trembling.

My mother began to notice.
—Emily, what’s happening to you?
—Nothing, Mom.
—So why have you been crying?
—I’m just tired.
One night, I noticed how I turned pale when my grandfather called me on the phone.

—Honey, are you afraid of your grandfather?
I remained silent for a long time.
—Mom, I don’t want to go to that forest anymore.
My mother took my hands.
—Then don’t go. Nobody has the right to force you.
But I answered him through tears.
—I promised him I would help him until the end.
My mother remained motionless.
—Help him with what?
I lowered my head.

—I can’t tell you.
The next day, he overheard my grandfather talking to me.
—Emily, remember that if your mother finds out what we’re doing there, it’s all over.
That night, my mother couldn’t sleep.
And the next morning, when my grandfather and I left the house, he decided to secretly follow us.
We reached the deepest part of the forest.
I took off my clothes as my grandfather entered the stream.
My mother was horrified by what she saw and couldn’t hold back a scream.
Suddenly, his voice echoed from behind the trees.

—STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!
I turned around.
My mother was standing among the trees, with tears running down her face.
He ran towards us.
—Emily, don’t ever hide anything from me again!

But before I could answer, my grandfather turned to the opposite bank of the stream.
—Sarah, first look over there…
We both looked.
My mother ran into the stream, grabbed my hand, and stood between my grandfather and me.
—Emily, you’re coming with me! Right now!
I tried to speak.
—Mom, wait…
—No! I heard everything!
My grandfather approached slowly.
—Sarah, you’ve misunderstood.

—Then explain yourself! Why are you here? Why does my daughter come home trembling with fear every day?
My grandfather pointed towards the other shore.
There, behind a huge tree, was an old wooden bench.
A woman in a wheelchair was sitting next to the bench.
My mother froze.
—Who… who is that woman?
The woman raised her head.
—¿Sarah?
My mother lost all color from her face.
—My God… Mary?

Mary had been my mother’s best friend since childhood.
Twenty-five years ago, they were both together in that same forest when a sudden flood caused the stream level to rise.
My mother had slipped and Mary had tried to help her.
After that accident, Mary suffered a serious injury and for years had difficulty walking.

My mother had always blamed herself for what happened.
Mary’s family moved to another city and the two friends never saw each other again.
My grandfather spoke through tears.
—Three months ago I ran into Mary by chance. She told me she’d been wanting to see Sarah again for years, but had never mustered up the courage. Then I remembered this place.
I continued in a low voice.
—Mom, Mary wanted to go back to the bench where you used to sit together. But the old path was blocked.

My grandfather pointed to the wooden walkway we had built.
—With the help of volunteer specialists, we built a safe passage through here. Emily helped me measure the water depth, transport lightweight materials, and check the trail.
I looked at my mother.
“But I’ve always been afraid of running water. Every time I went into the stream, I remembered the accident you told me about. I was terrified that the same thing would happen to me.”

Tears began to slide down my cheeks.
“I wanted to surprise you, Mom. But every time I got near the water, I panicked. Grandpa said we could stop, but I wanted to finish what we started.”
A woman in a wheelchair was sitting next to the bench.
My mother froze.
—Who… who is that woman?
The woman raised her head.
—¿Sarah?
My mother lost all color from her face.
—My God… Mary?
