Phantasia -Horror Story-Part-5 Pg-45 8/8 - Page 7

I have been travelling since two days, but still I am not able to find the exact location… when I started to think

"Why I am obsessed with this..."

But my answer for this question always will be "I don't know..."

Since my childhood I used to hear many stories about ghost, paranormal activities… Once when I was a small kid of about 10 years, I saw my grandmother acting weirdly…. That time I was not allowed to go near my granny… she was kept in a room locked for so many days…

Many saints and pandits used to come to see my granny... My house used to be a big haveli… we are known for our huge property and many businesses… my father took over the business after my grandfather death… His death always remained as a mystery. Some say a ghost haunted him and killed him… and they also say that now my granny was haunted by my grandfather's ghost…

They conducted many poojas and homas… my mom used to keep me away from all these stuffs…but I used to peak out to watch actually what is happening… then my eyes caught the most frightful scene… my granny is shouting in a coarse male voice yelling "I am not leaving until I get what I wished for…" I got scared the very moment how come my sweet granny who used to play with me… who talks sweetly with me is behaving like a devil…. Her eyes were red … I felt like blood is going to come out any second, her lips were cracked and were white pale in colors… there was blackness around her eyes… her hair was messed up… saliva was coming out of her mouth like it was not controllable…..

My dad was standing strong like a pillar but my mom is looking sad and at the same time scared…. Meanwhile the exorcist whom my dad called is looking more dangerous than my granny… some of his assistants are holding my granny tight and she is trying hard to get out of the grip….till now in my life never seen such a frightful incident….they were talking with her or can I say with my grandfather asking him to go out of my granny's body…. Then he wished that he wants to kill someone then only he will leave this body…. It seems that he wanted to kill the person who is responsible for his death…but everyone covered saying that he killed by a ghost… or is it a story made by killer… They were beating her with a stick asking the ghost to go away…..after so many trials and so many beatings my granny became unconscious and my mom went to support her in her lap….i was standing behind the curtains clutched to them tightly as I was not able to see the sight in front of me…

After that incident I never came out of my room… I got scared... literally scared of facing anyone in my home… the horrible sight of my sweet granny was haunting me…my mom took me to temple and asked me to pray to god always because only god will protect me from every evil…. I grew up seeing various stories happening in and around my village….After I completed my schooling I came to Delhi city to complete my college… my interest was in literature so I took that subject and now I wanted to publish my own novel…

For that I went to many places and also visited many people who believe in paranormal activities…I want to do some research and also visit haunted places where I can see for myself and figure out what is paranormal and also about ghost…I was driving for 2 hours still I was not able to find the place…. Finally after driving for half an hour more I found the place... It is like deserted one … I think civilization has existed centuries ago…Wonder why all haunted places looks like this…

After getting out of my car I took my photography camera to take the snap shots of the place…then I found a broken cottage… I started to move towards the cottage…. It was a wooden cottage the roof was broken…One of my friend told me that a couple committed suicide 20 years ago and they say many people died when they try to dig the mystery of the this broken cottage… seems this case of couple committing suicide was not even true or maybe there are some strong reasons behind their suicide… when I started my research I spent reading paranormal books and stories I found out one thing more common in every stories and incidents is that persons who die out of revenge or want to complete an unwanted task which is very important in for their life they become a ghost… Even my granny was haunted by my grandfather's ghost because he was left with some unfinished matter that he wanted to complete ….

But in my life time I never met or seen a ghost expect for my childhood experience… to find more about these unseen things I took up this task of writing my own novel and make it more realistic for the reader… for that I need to do some more research, visit more haunted place so that I can get an idea….

So for that reason i am here to find out the facts about this abandoned cottage in this nowheresville….i slowly came near the door which is half broken…. I moved forward and suddenly there is a change in the weather… till now the weather was clam… but suddenly there is a change… the dark clouds started to cover up the sky above me….i looked up to see some darkness in the sky… a strange darkness…it is like something is going to approach me if I enter…the clouds started to rub against each other and started give their outburst with a loud thunder…. The lightening is so bright… It was like a bright flash disturbing my eyes…. It was like the nature is trying to warn me… or giving me a message that I should not go in….i felt the change in the air… I fresh air was gone but now the air which I breathe in is giving me suffocation…. But even then I clutched my things tightly and closed my eyes to gain the courage to get in….

I opened the door.. It gave squeak sound which is very clear to my ears…. Then the door fell on the ground as it was very weak….my body jerked with the thud sound of the fallen door ….i slowly kept my foot inside…. The cottage is dirty and messy… I slowly took out my torch as it was dark… the things in the cottage are still untouched…seems no one has the courage to even take these things away….

Then suddenly I gasped… my breathing got struck in my throat as someone is standing behind me like just few inches away…. I could feel someone's presence…I was just rooted at that spot… it was like someone has taken total control over my body… but then gaining my courage I quickly turned to see… But there was no one… I wiped my sweat beats composing myself… was it my hallucination or was someone really standing next to me…shrugging off my thoughts I started to explore the place…. I took the stairs and went up to the bedroom…I took the photographs of every inch of the house….I slowly opened the door and went inside….the bed is still there…

I was busy scanning every inch of the room then suddenly I heard a faint cry…. A cry of a girl….i searched every corner of the room….then I realized that it was coming from basement….I thought maybe someone is trapped here… so I took quick steps and went inside the basement…As soon as I reached the basement the door of the basement shut down with a strong force on its own….my heart shivered with the sound of it...….but I need to find the source of this cry so took my torch and tried to find …. The sound of the cry was becoming more and more clear….the basement was like a tunnel… I started to move inside to find out the person who is crying so miserably….then I saw a figure….a figure was sitting in the lone corner….i moved quickly to save that person….
