The story is real, and it ends with an unexpected surprise. It happened in Iraq, specifically in August 2023, when a 16-year-old girl named "Saba Al-Hamidi" started posting videos on TikTok that sparked widespread controversy.
This is because these videos were not normal; they showed her studying, struggling, and practically living in the cemeteries at night. The terrifying thing about it was that people were surprised how a girl of that age was wandering around the cemeteries late at night without fear. Moreover, her videos showed rain and extremely difficult winter conditions for anyone to be outside, yet she was filming in the middle of the cemeteries. People began asking her questions in the comments, and she would reply in the following video.
The most prominent of these questions was: "Why are you sitting and studying in the cemeteries at night like this, and aren't you afraid?" Her answer was very strange. Saba said that she wasn't afraid of anything; on the contrary, she was very happy because she was surrounded by her "friends" who provided her with food, drink, and everything she needed.
What was stranger was that in all of Saba's videos, when her hands appeared, there were very clear bruises on them. Some people interpreted this as the girl being kidnapped and forced to do this for an unknown reason. Someone else asked her: "How are your parents leaving you like this? Aren't they worried about you?" She replied that her parents couldn't stop her from what she was doing because if they did, they would suffer great harm from her "friends."
Until one person came and asked her, "Who are these friends of yours?" She replied that her friends were not human, and it wasn't important for them to know who they were because they didn't appear, and no one saw them except her. The strange thing about Saba's videos—which some people noticed and connected to supernatural things based on their interpretation—was that despite her posting many videos, her shadow never appeared in any of them. This led them all to say that this girl was not human to begin with. The strangest thing was that sometimes while she was filming, things resembling people would appear in front of the camera, passing by and disappearing quickly, as if they were running at a terrifying speed.
Her videos of filming in the cemeteries kept getting posted for a while, and the issue reached the point where people mocked it, accusing her of just seeking fame and claiming that everything she was filming was just a filter, and she wasn't actually in the cemeteries or anywhere unusual.
Until one day, she went live—a "live broadcast" on TikTok—and started walking around the cemeteries, moving across all the graves and showing the names of the deceased on the gravestones to prove that she was truly in the cemeteries and not using a filter, as people claimed. Suddenly, while she was walking among the graves, she came upon one of them, on which the name of the deceased was written: "Saba Al-Hamidi." The viewers of the live stream, as soon as they noticed the name and started asking about her name written on the grave, the live stream quickly shut down. Not only that, but Saba's account itself was instantly shut down and deleted from TikTok.
The most terrifying thing about this story is that they actually found the cemetery where she was filming, and it contained a grave for a girl named "Saba Al-Hamidi," who had died at the age of 16. To the extent that some people showed videos that others had saved and posted before her account was shut down to the deceased girl's family, hoping they might find an explanation.
What was even more terrifying was that when the girl's family watched the videos, they confirmed that the voice was that of their deceased daughter from 13 years ago, and they were 100% sure it was her voice. But in the end, Saba disappeared from appearing after what happened, without anyone being able to offer a truly convincing explanation for what was happening.
