Alone in the House

The lightning struck and it started raining heavily. I was alone in the bungalow which had two floors. That’s when the door creaked; I stood frozen, my eyes were wide open, I was breathing heavily, my heart beat started increasing. I turned around but nobody was there so, I thought it may be my illusion. I sat down on the sofa and was watching. Again, lightning struck, immediately after that, the lights went off. I went into the kitchen to bring the candle, exactly at that moment again, I heard a voice but this time it wasn’t of a door. I was confused as I could hear a lady and also a boy… crying! I didn’t take it that seriously because it could also be our neighbors. So, I took my lighted candle and was just going back to the living room when someone passed behind me. I turned back, no one was there.

When again I turned in front, I saw a horrible thing in front of me. It was black with red absolutely red eyes, open hair flying in the wind. I could not move…I was so-so scared. Then that horrible lady came closer to me, my heartbeat was so high that I fainted. I woke up in my bedroom but saw that it was not my bedroom…like it was my bedroom but not my bedroom. It just looked like my bedroom but the things it had in it were terrible. I got up and started running, and got hit by a table on my leg. I heard something rumbling down near me and that fell on my feet; it hurt badly. I touched it and got a sense of a torch so; I took it immediately and turned it on.

I started looking here and there that’s when that horrible lady came in front of my torch, I started screaming and left running. I saw the sofa on which I was sitting. I sat down quietly, shivering, breathing heavily, eyes closed, and chanting some shlokas; when I heard a boy laughing and playing. The sound came closer and closer, at that time I could his voice clearly like he was sitting next to me. “Hi Lisa,” he said with his dreadful voice. I was shocked to hear that…he knew me? Even though hearing that from his mouth was shocking but I didn’t open my eyes. “Hi, Lisa! How is Sofia & Mark?” said the horrible lady. I could not hold it now, I opened my eyes and asked that spirit “How do you know my parents!!?”. The lady laughed! And said “Really Lisa…How do I know them? Well, I am here for the past 90 years…
