… A young man walked slowly along this street. He left this city many years ago, and now he was returning home. The young man tried not to get lost in the darkness. And now - his house, it remains only to turn into the courtyard. Suddenly ... something hit him hard on the forehead and threw off his hat! He raised his head and saw a terrible hand reaching out from the darkness. Quickly pulling a flashlight from his pocket, he illuminated that hand. What was his surprise when he saw a branch of an old oak, which leaned over from strong wind. The young man raised his hat and, smiling, entered the house.

… An ancient treasure was hidden in one of these wooden houses. But first things first. So, this mysterious story began when everything begins mystery stories, namely at night. Once upon a time there was a boy Danila. A boy is like a boy, he only loved horror stories. He invented them himself. His crowning story was the story of the Terrible Hand, which did not sleep at night, but loved to walk around the city at night. hand like hand, nothing special. Five fingers, which, if necessary, clenched into a fist. Or mercilessly tickled. Or pinched like a goose. And this Terrible Hand went for a walk around the city at night, scaring the night uninvited guests. The fact is that since the boy Danila was kind and sympathetic, the Terrible Hand was terrible only for hooligans, thieves and bandits who did not hesitate to offend the weak and defenseless. And so the Terrible Hand lived, making good deeds. One night, when the full moon was shining in the sky, the Terrible Hand pursued a gang of robbers for a long time; having pretty much frightened them, she hid and, after waiting for them to calm down and lose their vigilance, she followed where they would go. The bandits were on their way to the outskirts of the city. In an abandoned area, in one of the half-decayed wooden houses, a treasure was hidden in the basement. The bandits agreed when they would meet next. They were going to hide the treasure in a safer place. After waiting for the thieves to leave, Ruka, and she also had a terrible Magic power, transferred all the treasures from the basement to the dacha to the boy Danila. And she decided to play a dirty trick on a gang of bandits and instead of treasures she put them bones and skulls. The gang, when they returned for their booty, turned yellow with rage and anger and fell ill with hepatitis. And the boy Danila, having discovered what wealth he had, bought himself a bicycle, and the Terrible Hand - a scooter with balloon. And they set out to travel around together the globe, restore order and scare the villains!

... And just at that time a passer-by was walking along the street. It was a man with red hair wearing a gray hat and gray coat. He walked, looking around fearfully. And suddenly, just as he was about to turn the corner, a first-floor window opened in front of his nose. A passer-by looked there and saw ... a terrible clawed hand that held the cat by the scruff of the neck. The hand threw the cat out of the window, and the cat meowed angrily and ran away. The passer-by recoiled, a hand threatened him with a huge index finger. The man crossed himself and ran home. And he got home without incident.

... A terrible black gateway looked at the street with a black eye. Everything around was lit up with a blood-red light. And suddenly a sinewy, senile hand descended from above and pulled the film negative out of the developer. After some time, the same hand, which belonged to the old photographer, pulled out a sheet of snow-white photographic paper from a black bag and began to adjust the magnifier ... The sheet of paper sank into the developer solution, and an image of the old street of Vasilyevsky Island began to appear on it. Houses appeared, a carriage drove along the street in the light of a lantern, and a wet trail was left behind it ... And the next day, a new photo in a frame. And all passers-by admired this night shot.

... high school student Kolya Gorchakov could not sleep. He lay and listened to the terrible howl of the wind in the attic of the house opposite. The guys said that at night a terrible hand appears in the attic, which comes for liars. Kolya lay and waited for a hand to come for him today. Today, in arithmetic, he received a unit, and lied to his mother that it was a four. Even worse, he corrected his grade in his diary... and now he was waiting to see what would happen to him. But so far nothing has happened.

Then Kolya decided to go to the window and look at the terrible hand. He quietly peered out from behind the curtain and saw in the window of the attic of the house opposite the hand, which swayed slightly, as if it wanted to grab him. His palms were sweaty from fear. He screamed in horror, but he couldn't take his eyes off the hand. His mother came to his cry. She took Kolya away from the window and put him to bed, but Kolya could not fall asleep. This went on for three nights. Every night a hand came for him, but my mother always saved. On the fourth night it began to snow, and the wind began to howl even more terribly; then Kolya could not stand it and told his mother everything about the unit and about the terrible hand.

Mom forgave him for deceit, reassured him, led him to the window. The first snow covered the ground in an even layer, it was no longer so scary in the yard, even by the light of a lonely lantern. But the hand was still visible in the attic window. “Look at the old oak tree,” Mom said. — Do you notice anything?

Kolya looked at the oak and only then realized that a clumsy oak branch was reflected in the attic window, looking like a terrible bony hand! That's how it happens!

What did the artist want to say?

According to Stoneham, the door means nothing more than a wall between the world of the living and parallel world dreams. The boy on the canvas is depicted angry and dissatisfied. And this is not surprising, because he really wants to open the door and see what is outside. real world. But the children's hands resist this, blocking the boy's path. The doll standing nearby is insensitive and empty. She does not see or hear anything, but is the only one who in this case can help the boy to enter the world of dreams.

They found the canvas in a landfill along with another pile. Overjoyed, the head of the family took it into the house and placed it in the most prominent place. At night, their little daughter broke into her parents' bedroom, screaming that some children were quarreling in her room. The next day, the girl again reported that the image in the picture had changed somewhat - the children were outside the glass door. After that, the father decided to get rid of the "cursed" creation.

There was a hotel in the city of N that was notorious. There was a red light above the door of one of her rooms. This meant that people were disappearing in the room.
One day a young man came to the hotel and asked for a lodging for the night. The director replied that there were no empty seats, except for that ill-fated room with a red light bulb. But the guy was not afraid and went to spend the night in this room. In the morning he was not in the room.
In the evening of the same day, another guy came, who had just served in the army. The director of the hotel gave him a place all in the same room. The guy was strange: he did not recognize mattresses and duvets and slept on the floor, wrapped in a blanket. In addition, he suffered from insomnia. She visited him that night too. It's already past eleven, it's time for twelve, and sleep doesn't come. It's past midnight!
Suddenly, under the bed, something clicked, rustled, and a Black hand appeared from under it. She co terrible force ripped the pillow and dragged it under the bed. The guy jumped up, dressed quickly and went to look for the director of the hotel. But he was not there. He was not at home either. Then the guy called the police and asked to urgently come to the hotel. The police began a thorough inspection. One of the police officers noticed that the bed was attached to the floor with special screws. Unscrewing the screws and moving the bed aside, the policemen saw a chest with a button on one of its walls. We pressed the button. The lid of the chest lifted sharply but inaudibly, and a black hand emerged from it. It was attached to a thick steel spring. The hand was cut off and sent for investigation. The chest was moved - and everyone saw a hole in the floor. We decided to go down there. There were seven doors in front of the police. They opened the first one and saw lifeless, bloodless corpses. They opened the second - there were skeletons. They opened the third - there is only skin. In the fourth, there were fresh corpses, from which blood flowed into the basins. In the fifth - people in white coats butchered corpses. We went into the sixth - people were standing along long tables and packing blood into bags. We went into the seventh - and were dumbfounded! On a high chair there sat the director of the hotel himself.
The director confessed to everything. At this time there was a war between the two states. As in any war, it was required a large number of donated blood. The director was connected with one of the states. He was offered for a huge sum to set up the production of such blood, and he agreed and developed a plan with a black hand.
The hotel was brought into divine form, a new director was appointed. The light bulb above the door of the ill-fated room was gone. The city now lives quietly and sees beautiful dreams at night.
