2021年的一個冬夜，平常的 Tesco 超市購物之旅，卻成為一次驚心動魄的靈異經歷。當時間停止、出口消失，異空間的寂靜與詭異籠罩一切，而藍光則引領我走向未知或許 Tesco 並不只是購物的地方，而是通往另一個世界的入口。
On a frosty night in 2021, a routine grocery trip to Tesco turned into a chilling encounter. When time froze, doors vanished, and an eerie silence engulfed everything, a mysterious blue light led me into the unknown. Tesco may be more than a supermarket it could be a portal to another realm.
2021年1月的一個晚上，天空飄著細密的雪花，我下班後照例步行到附近的 Tesco Superstore 買菜。這天氣溫低至 -3°C，冷得刺骨，但街上的行人卻不少。他們腳踩在積雪上，發出“吱嘎”的聲響，呼出的白氣在寒冷的空氣中顯得格外明顯。這種熟悉的景象令我感到安心，彷彿冬夜的寒冷也無法削弱城市的活力。
On a night in January 2021, the sky was filled with fine snowflakes as I walked to the nearby Tesco Superstore after work, as usual, to buy groceries. The temperature had dropped to -3°C, bitterly cold, yet the streets were still bustling with people. Their footsteps crunched on the snowy ground, and visible breaths lingered in the frigid air. This familiar scene gave me comfort, as if the chill of winter couldn’t dampen the city’s energy.
然而，就在我走近 Tesco 時，心頭忽然湧上一股說不出的異樣感。周圍的聲音似乎變得模糊起來，原本熱鬧的街道彷彿一下子安靜了不少。起初，我以為是雪吸收了聲音，但那種異樣卻越來越強烈。推開 Tesco 的自動門，暖意撲面而來，但這種熟悉的溫暖並未驅散心頭的怪異感。
However, as I approached Tesco, an inexplicable unease began to rise in my chest. The sounds around me seemed to blur, and the once lively street suddenly grew quieter. At first, I thought it was the snow absorbing the noise, but the strange sensation grew stronger. Pushing open Tesco’s automatic doors, a wave of warmth greeted me, but the familiar comfort failed to dispel the unsettling feeling within me.
我拿起一個購物籃，開始四處尋找需要的物品。但走著走著，我注意到一些異常：原本應該充滿顧客和員工的超市，此刻竟然異常安靜。我在過道上環顧四周，貨架整齊地排列著，商品完好無損，但超市內竟然沒有半個人影。幾輛購物車胡亂停放在過道中央，有些車內還放著未結賬的物品，像是它們的主人剛剛匆匆離開。
I picked up a shopping basket and started looking for the items I needed. As I walked, I noticed something unusual: the supermarket, which should have been bustling with customers and staff, was eerily quiet. Looking around the aisles, I saw neatly arranged shelves and intact goods, but not a single soul in sight. Several shopping carts were left haphazardly in the aisles, some with unpaid items inside, as if their owners had left in a hurry.
外面的雪還在下，但玻璃窗外籠罩著一層薄薄的霧氣，將外界和超市隔離得像兩個世界。我走向生鮮區的冷藏櫃，卻發現裡面的燈光開始忽明忽暗，照在冷凍食品上的光線顯得詭異而蒼白。我想著是不是供電出了問題，但周圍的靜謐和孤寂讓我無法平靜下來。
The snow outside was still falling, but a thin mist shrouded the glass windows, separating the outside world from the supermarket as if they were two distinct realms. I headed toward the fresh food section’s refrigerated shelves, only to find the lights inside flickering erratically. The pale light cast on the frozen goods appeared eerie and ghostly. I wondered if there was an issue with the power supply, but the pervasive silence and isolation kept me uneasy.
走到靠近出口的位置，我忽然意識到入口的大門不見了。取而代之的，是一堵光滑而冰冷的白牆。我的心跳開始加速，汗珠竟然在寒冷的環境中從額頭滲出。我試圖向停車場的方向尋找出路，但原本通向外界的玻璃門也不翼而飛，周圍只剩下一片模糊的迷霧。
As I approached the exit, I suddenly realised that the entrance door had vanished. In its place stood a smooth, icy white wall. My heartbeat quickened, and beads of sweat began to form on my forehead despite the freezing environment. I tried to find a way out towards the car park, but the glass doors that once led outside had also disappeared, leaving only a dense, hazy mist in their place.
時間彷彿靜止了，或許更準確地說，時間在這片空間中已經失去了意義。我拿出手機，卻發現屏幕上的時間停留在我剛進 Tesco 的那一刻。無論我怎麼刷新，時間都無法再前進一步。
Time seemed to have stopped—or perhaps, more accurately, it had lost all meaning in this space. I pulled out my phone, only to find that the time on the screen remained frozen at the moment I had entered Tesco. No matter how I refreshed it, the time refused to move forward.
我開始四處走動，試圖找到出口。然而，每條過道似乎都變得無限延伸，貨架彷彿排列成了一個無法破解的迷宮。我感到自己被困在某種異空間中，腳步聲在空曠的空間內回蕩，彷彿在提醒我身邊的空虛與孤寂。
I began wandering around, desperately trying to find an exit. Yet, every aisle seemed to stretch endlessly, and the shelves appeared to form an unsolvable maze. I felt trapped in some kind of alternate dimension, my footsteps echoing in the vast emptiness as if emphasising the void and loneliness surrounding me.
就在我幾乎絕望的時候，遠處的冷藏區亮起了一抹奇異的藍光。我下意識地朝光源走去，心中既忐忑又充滿莫名的希望。隨著我一步步靠近，那藍光變得越來越強烈，直到刺痛了我的雙眼。我不得不閉上眼睛，用手遮擋那耀眼的光芒。
Just as despair began to set in, a strange blue light appeared in the distance near the refrigerated section. Instinctively, I moved towards the source of the light, my heart filled with both trepidation and an inexplicable glimmer of hope. As I drew closer, the blue light grew brighter and brighter until it stung my eyes. I had to close them and shield my face from the dazzling glow.
突然，耳邊響起了一陣低低的嗡鳴聲，像是某種機械的運作聲，又像是來自另一個世界的回聲。藍光漸漸包圍了我，我感到身體像被什麼力量拉扯著，彷彿要被拖入另一個未知的領域。
Suddenly, a low humming sound filled the air around me, resembling both the operation of machinery and echoes from another realm. The blue light enveloped me gradually, and I felt an invisible force tugging at my body, as if pulling me into another unknown dimension.
當我再度睜開眼睛時，發現自己已經站在 Tesco 超市的入口。門外的雪還在靜靜地下，街道重新恢復了熱鬧的景象，顧客們推著購物車，員工在忙碌地補貨。一切看起來都那麼正常，彷彿剛才的一切只是我的幻覺。
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing at Tesco’s entrance. Outside, the snow was still falling quietly, and the streets had regained their lively atmosphere. Customers were pushing shopping carts, and staff were busy restocking shelves. Everything seemed so normal, as if what had just happened was nothing more than an illusion.
我低頭看了一眼手機，時間顯示只過去了五分鐘。然而，剛才在那異空間的感覺卻像是度過了一整個小時。那裏的安靜、冰冷與詭異深深地烙印在我的記憶中。
I glanced down at my phone, which showed that only five minutes had passed. However, the sensation of being in that alternate space felt like an entire hour. The silence, coldness, and eeriness of that place were deeply etched into my memory.
直到今天，我依然無法解釋那一晚發生的事情。我試圖說服自己那只是疲憊中的幻覺，但每當我回想起那片藍光和無人的超市時，就會感到脊背發涼。或許 Tesco 並不僅僅是日常購物的地方，它還可能是一個通往“裏世界”的入口。而我，僥倖地逃了出來。
To this day, I still can’t explain what happened that night. I tried convincing myself it was just a hallucination caused by exhaustion, but every time I recall that blue light and the empty supermarket, a chill runs down my spine. Perhaps Tesco isn’t just a place for everyday shopping; it might also be an entrance to the “other world.” And I, by sheer luck, managed to escape.
這個經歷之後，我再也不敢在深夜前往 Tesco 超市購物。
After this experience, I no longer dare to visit Tesco late at night.
