The Painting

Misha, was a girl who was a complete 'Science Lover' she never used to believe in things without any existence of evidence... For her, everything is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on 'Evidence' and something like 'Ghost' was a complete non-sense with a nuisance for her. Actually, she usually gets 'Visions' whenever her eyes contacts with something unusual but, she always ignores it as a normal illusion or as a hallucination. 

One day, she was sleeping in her room all alone and suddenly she got a vision, the vision was very scary... it was like that she was seeing herself standing in a place, full of darkness and there was a thing that was covered with a cloth, Misha was going near it and while she was going, suddenly... a song started playing, Misha was astonished she saw in all directions but, except for darkness she couldn't see anything... than she continued moving towards the thing, she reached near it and she was slowly removing the cloth; as soon as she removed it the song stopped and she saw... a painting of a women standing... in the center of the painting board... In the painting it was only the women's back side with long hair all in black, her face was not shown, except for the women, the whole painting was in dull white color; Misha was very much disrupted because the painting was very weird and quite disturbing, she was about to touch the women in the painting and suddenly... Someone came behind her... Misha got scared, it was non other than a women and the same moment the women possessed her, in her vision... than in real Misha woke up, she was panic-stricken and very much disturbed...

Soon morning arrived, Misha and her friends decided to have a casual meet up; after all it was a long time, she was meeting them finally. While during the meet up, they all were talking about a haunted place which was a 100 km away from them... Misha was very much enthusiastic about the talk... but she was against to call that place 'haunted' because as per her science constraint there is no-thing like 'Ghost' it's all a game of 'Our Mind'. So to get a right answer they all decided to explore that Haunted Building.

 So they all took a car and proceeded... Misha was having 6 friends, they were Griffin, Illiya, Jeremey, Kiyara, Natasha and Lucas... and she was very close to Jeremey.

It was 9 in the evening when they were in the car, there was still 20 minutes. to reach the place... All were busy with stuff talks while, Misha was thinking about yesterday's vision...

Time past and all finally reached that place.... as soon as they reached there was all negativity full of silence, around them... Long long there was not even a single house or a single person near that secluded building... Then all came out of the car and were going towards the entrance...

When they came towards the entrance, the entrance was locked... Jeremey and Lucas were trying hard to open the door with all their strength but it was not opening though... So all were very upset because all their effort went off... So they all decided to go back... but, then suddenly from somewhere a watchmen came, they all were shocked with astonishment because the building was suppose to be sequestered... 

The watchmen came near them and he asked that 'who are you all? and what are you all doing here?' so Kiyara answered that, "We are here to just explore this place..." so the watchmen laughed and answered "Madam, hundreds of people come here with the same saying of explorer but, you will only find me, here …" All were shaken with his answer and were looking at each others face astonishingly... Then the Watchmen said that, "The entrance for the secluded mall is closed always the back gate is open, you can go through that..." 

Then all went back of the mall... and actually the back gate was open, so all went in, through that... but, as soon as they moved further they realized that the watchmen was not there... so Griffin said that 'Might be the watchmen be having some work so, lets not take it too seriously...' all were not so comfortable with his solace, but still they continued exploring...

 

The whole Mall was completely having its lights out and it was covered with full negativity with a feeling of they are not only seven... The Mall was of only three floors with a basement... So they started exploring with the first floor... most of the rooms were in broken condition... So while exploring Natasha said in a slumping manner that, "I don't think so in this building there would be any kind of ghost because this is just a quarry seeing what like not only ghost but even a single mouse will not enter here because this place is so ugly..." and suddenly there was a room on the floor at the very last in the corner which was opening back-forth with a light-thumping sound... so all were shocked that 'In a closed building from many months how can a door open and close by itself?!' so slowly Griffin went near the door and opened it... when he opened it he went in with others following him... and what they saw was a window which was open and because of air the door was opening and closing...

All were definitely surprised, Lucas went near the window and closed it... and the door stopped even making sound... Then Misha saw something in the room, actually it was a mirror which was crystal clear like someone has just cleaned it with soap-water right out there, which was quite weird, so Misha was seeing the mirror very carefully with herself in it... suddenly, she saw a shadow of herself falling in the mirror behind her on a 'Gramophone' but, in real when she saw back there was no shadow there was just a 'Gramophone'... Misha was surprised with it because it was quite weird... Then Jeremey suddenly came to call Misha. Then they both moved forward towards others... then they all went towards the second floor...

They came to second floor and what they saw was not usual... they saw a elevator opening by its own and a toy car coming from it... this was very much shocking for them because in the whole building there were no lights then how did the lift just worked? Griffin went near the elevator to check, there was nothing that could disturb them so, he went inside and was checking it, he checked it and there was nothing so disturbing though so he was about to come out and the moment he was just stepping out the elevator, suddenly took a lift and went up... All were shocked, they went near the elevator and were screaming Griffin's name but he was not responding, suddenly the elevator started moving towards the down from up... and they couldn't see Griffin inside so they all were running towards the first floor... as they came to the first floor they saw that the elevator has stopped towards basement so they all went towards the basement, when they reached they saw Griffin dead horrifyingly due to the elevator's crash... and all were just shocked and scared... Illiya and Natasha were crying very badly and others were exclaimed... Lucas said that, "We should all move out from this place, right now!!" As soon as he said this, a sound of screaming "AHHHHH"... came. All started running towards the first floor but, while running

Natasha felt that someone is just catching her leg and she told her friends and they all stopped to see that what is wrong with her... and suddenly someone just grabbed her leg and pulled her leg with her in the dark... all were more exclaimed and started running as fast as possible towards the first floor when they came towards the first floor, towards the back gate the gate was locked... they were calling out through screaming but no one was there to answer them... And suddenly they saw the Watchmen's 'Deathbody' they all got threatened... then suddenly Kiyara said that we should go to the room were the window was open so all started running through... in this whole incident Misha was completely speechless and astonished because she saw something unreal in her whole Life... Today. Then they all came near that room they went in and they tried to open the closed window but it was not opening they even tried to break it but it seems like it was a bulletproof glass... 

They all then decided to find some way out from the building and started exploring it in groups like Illiya and Lucas went in a direction and Jeremey, Misha and Kiyara went in the other... they also decided that in 15 mins. they all will meet on the 3rd floor...

So they all split-up and went in directions... while they were exploring, there were some paranormal activities taking place with them but still they all however continued... 

While exploring, Misha, Jeremey and Kiyara saw a room which was locked and was located on the first floor... actually when they came before, they never saw a room and they were surprised that from where did this room came from? Jeremey was moving towards it and Misha and Kiyara were following him... At that moment, Misha saw that same Gramophone was placed in front of that room... Misha felt it quite different, so she went near that and before she touches it, that started playing by its own... and that was the same song which was playing in her vision yesterday... Misha was shocked, she was not able to understand that, 'what's just going on...? Is this just a coincidence or her hallucination again...?' Suddenly, then she felt like someone was standing behind her so she turned back and what she saw... that was the same women in black has she saw in her dream that women shouted loudly and caught Misha's neck and was trying to kill her...

Kiyara saw this and she came running to help Misha and in that, the Women killed Kiyara in a very creepy manner... Jeremey finally broke the lock of the door and came to help Misha, he actually had Holy Water in his pocket and he throwed it towards that creepy women and that creepy women went off for a time being. Misha was saved but, they lost Kiyara... Misha was very upset about it and was blaming herself for all the deaths... Jeremey was trying to give sympathy to Misha and told that we need to get out from here as soon as possible otherwise the 'Demonic Witch' will kill us too... Misha at that moment, told Jeremey about her yesterday's vision and then Jeremey told her that, "If it is so then the painting might be having the Witch's powers... Actually in reality, every demonic energy who has haunted a place has a thing related to his 'Before Death' and that thing has its power's origination, if we could destroy that than the demonic energy would be no more..."

So Misha asked Jeremey that,' how could he say this all is true with, so confidence?' Then Jeremey answered that he just saw the same painting that Misha was talking about inside the locked room... Misha was surprised and she went in the room and saw, than it was the same painting... Than Misha and Jeremey decided that they will burn the painting so they removed the painting and took with them and went to the 3rd floor were Illiya and Lucas were gonna be... while moving they faced many paranormal activities... They went towards the third floor and when they reached it they saw Illiya with a knife in a possessed condition who already killed Lucas and was about to kill them both too they both were exclaimed because Illiya's neck was cut already and she was about to kill Misha and Jeremey too, she caught them both in air and was trying to kill them in a very creepy and scary manner, Jeremey started searching for the Holy water but that bottle felt down and was broken than suddenly... He got a lighter in his pocket he finally removed it and burnt the painting and the witch also got burnt...

And here, 7 were gone but, only 2 returned...
