THE HOUSE MYSTERY

I was moved to a house with my big brother Raghav.We stayed in a 2 storyed house in Dehradun. I was 15 years, going to school and Raghav about 23 years working in an office.It had been 3 days living with him. But I have never ever imagined that the 4th day will be a dangerous night for us.

Yesterday night, I was working in the kitchen making some delicious "parathas and palang panir". I was early from school and Raghav was still in office due to some extra works. I was cutting vegetables and battering the flour when suddenly I heard something like a bowl fell down. I looked back and saw that a steel bowl fell down. I readily ignored the matter and started working again. Then I heard a soft knock on the door. I said with an ferocious voice "Who is it?" I heard no answer from the opposite. Gathering courage I opened the door but I saw nobody. I was very amazed with the matter. I wondered had I listened correctly or not. Again ignoring it I started to work. Then my phone rang. It was Raghav. He said me "Had you called me in this number ?" I said "No" Then I asked "Why ?". He replied back "I got a phone call from your number a minute ago".I said " I was doing my work in the kitchen and my phone was in the dining room. I hadn't call you". I disconnected the phone and while I was going back to the kitchen, something paranormal happened again. The bowl which was earlier fallen had fall in the same place. I was sure that when the bowl first fell I had kept it in the middle of the table then how could it be possible that it had again falllen..Then the same thing a soft knock on the door being furious with the situation I opened the door with much angriness. But I found that it was Raghav returning from office. When we were having dinner I said all the things to Raghav that I faced. I was very surprisred to hear that some paranormal incidents my elder brother had also experienced. He got so many phone calls from me at least 16 times. I hadn't call him as I was only facing terrible incidents. We went on to sleep. I was very tired so I went to fast asleep. But some gigling and walking noises woke me up. It was 2:30 am in the morning. I heard some a baby,a lady type voice crying laughing and singing lullaby. I screamed loudly when I saw a dark figure at the side of my bed. Raghav came running then the unknown figure was disapperead. There was a little light in the room and what I saw the face of that dark figure still when I remember freaks me out. The face had two white eyes wide open and in her hands she had a knife and a baby laughing with red eyes. We left the house on the next day. We got a house near my school. We searched in the web about the mystery of that haunted house. We got to know that two couple and their 2 years baby used to stay in that house. But suddenly the husband died without any reason. Seeing this her wife was so much sad and depressed. She started behaving abnormal in the passing days. She used to dance,sing ,laugh and scold herself on her own. One night when she was angry her baby was crying and she got more angry with the situation. She killed her baby with a knife and also attempted suicide. The dark figure was none but that woman. After that day nothing happened in our new house. I pray to god that we were safe.
