A scary ghost story-the mysterious house

Many years ago.

There was news in the paper that a murderer is hiding in this Calcutta with dust in the eyes of the police. The police investigated so far and realized that the killer was hiding in disguise in a house somewhere in North Kolkata. The man's photo was also printed. The paper stated that if anyone could find the man, there would be a reward from the government.

At that time, there were not as many murders as now. So I was really scared to know that the police cannot catch such a horrible murderer, and he is still in Kolkata. I still remember the incident because I was scared.

After that, I did not get any news about whether the murderer was caught. At least it didn't look like anything on paper.

I found out after many years. He also reads newspapers.

The incident is like this….

Bivabati Sarkar bought a two-room flat on the other side of Maniktala Bridge. His only son gave the money. Working in Delhi. He said to his mother, "You will not leave Kolkata, I will give you money and buy a flat." After retiring, you will have to go to Kolkata."

Thus Vivahati Devi bought the flat. The flat is an old dilapidated house and is built on some swampy land. Once there were hardly any houses in these areas. The house that broke this flat…. It belonged to a landlord at a dock site. When the zamindari(their rule) went away, the descendants of the landlords were also scattered in different parts of Calcutta. But the old landlord attitude mood did not go away. The landlord's sons did not like the old houses of that period. So it was left behind. Sometimes one or two tenants would come. He would leave again. A small fee. So the landlord's sons were not satisfied. They decided to sell the house. That's why the new tenant did not sit. Because no one wants to buy a house with tenants.

After how many changes of hands, now that house has become a modern flat house. But in the back there are still ponds, swamps, dhol-kalmi and basil bushes. Suddenly, it doesn't seem like the place is in Kolkata.

Bivabati buys a two-room flat here. He lives alone with Pujo-Accha. Very devotional. He cooks himself.

have a maid. She helps him throughout the day. He spends his time talking with her.

Everything is good but there is a feeling of discomfort. Vivahati found some evidence that made her realize that there was something wrong with the house. Especially in the north facing house.

He had great strength of mind and courage so that he could stay alone at night. What is the way or not? My son bought the flat by spending so much money. Now leave this or where? What do you say to the boy? He was forced to wear a lock on his face. He did not say anything to anyone. He has some relatives here. They used to visit him occasionally. But he did not ask anyone to stay at night. Although relatives worried about him being alone, he smiled and said he was fine. Moreover, what God will do, will be done. What is the use of thinking in vain?

Seeing so much faith in God, even the relatives did not say anything. It could only be said that if he gets sick, he should inform them immediately.

That Bivabati Devi did a clever thing. Took the telephone. And put it on a tool near the head.

However, he knew in his heart that apart from illness, the fear that he digested silently, there was no cure for it by calling people over the phone.

A few days after taking the telephone, an incident happened. Sometimes he calls one or two. But no one calls him.

Suddenly, late that night, he was woken up by the sound of the telephone ringing. Who is calling so late at night? Definitely the color number. He was about to extend his hand through the mosquito net, when he suddenly saw a black hairy hand from outside the mosquito net lifting the receiver and moving it towards him. Yes, just one hand.

He was startled. got scared But in a moment he took control and said in a calm voice, "Who are you?" What do you want?”

No answer found. Only a faint sound of footsteps left the room.

Bivabati Devi did not rise again.

Remembering God, he slept again.

He woke up in the morning and thought, was he dreaming?

It was then noticed that the receiver was hanging under the tool.

Drops of sweat appeared on his face. Then he braced himself. He did all the work of the world as usual. He did not tell anyone about the night. The flat is haunted. And if the boy hears that, they will not come again.

Thinking about one thing, he was afraid, until he came here, he understood that there was something in the room on the north side. However, he does not use this room. But after last night's incident, he realized that he had started coming to this room as well. So how does he stay here?

Only then did he realize that the man had not tried to harm him. Who are you? He left the receiver on asking 'What do you want?' Why he came, why he left, he did not find the answer. Did not find another answer, who called him that night? What color numbers really were?

Anyway, since that day he has not entered this room. But one day the work girl stopped the goal.

He decided to ask the maid to stay with him for the night. Therefore, give more mines. The girl agreed. But in the meantime something happened.

That evening, the lights suddenly went out. Bivabati Devi understood, load shedding. This is a daily thing. But suddenly the maid came running to him trembling with fear. His mouth does not move.

What is Malati? What happened?” Bivabati Devi asked.

Malati only said with great difficulty, “A man…….”

"Man! Where's the guy?"

Malati pointed to the other room. Then somehow he said, when he entered that room to sweep, the load shedding happened. And that's when he clearly saw a tall man standing inside the room with his hands on his waist....

Bivabati 's chest trembled with fear. He could not understand what Malati meant by people. But he showed courage and said, "Where will the people come from?" Must be a mistake in the eye."

As much as Malati tries to explain that it is not a mistake in the eyes, Bivabati says, no, it is a mistake in the eyes. Where will people come from in that house?”

Seeing that Malati was silent, he said more emphatically, “I have been here for so long. I have never seen anything.”

Bivabati had to tell lies. Although he did not see anything, he heard the sound of people moving in that closed room not once, but repeatedly.

Bivabati was forced to lie. If not, Malati will quit working in this house.

In the end, Malati stayed. But it was gone before evening. Since then Bivabati has been alone all night. And in the locked room next door, there is fear in person.

That day, the telephone rang, shaking his quiet room. But not late at night, a little later in the evening.

Bivabati was shocked. Somehow picked up the receiver.

Then the tone of his voice was stuck in happiness, "Hello!....my daughter in law! "

Only my son's wife is from Delhi.

” Yes, that’s kind of……I’m fine….well, did you call one night long before?……..oh, didn’t you?……so the color number……yes……the phone rang in my room once many nights…. ..couldn't catch it……was cut off.

You will come to Calcutta the day after tomorrow?…… I am very happy to hear……just for one night?….for your friend’s wedding……can’t stay for two days?…..what else can be done…..so come. "

Bivabati Devi left the receiver after talking with her daughter in law. Then he was startled when he raised his face. Someone is standing tall outside the room by the window sill.

"Who? Who's there?”

Immediately the statue moved away…..like it disappeared into the darkness. Bivabati 's blood froze. Did he come to hear that someone new is coming to this house?

Bivabati Devi's son's daughter-in-law Anjana works in the office of a famous English paper in Delhi. He came to Kolkata for a friend's wedding. The night will be with mother-in-law only. The next morning flight will return to Delhi.

Bivabati Devi was happy in her heart to have her people close to her but also got a little scared. The one who is often seen in this house.... Grandma will not see him, will she?

That afternoon, Anjana came smiling. He spent the whole afternoon lying next to his mother-in-law and told many stories. In the afternoon went out to do some shopping. He said he would return before evening.

Anjana returned just in the evening. A few steps up from the sidewalk. Then the entrance. Was going to ring the bell, didn't need to. Malati opens the door and leaves quickly. He smiled a little seeing his daughter-in law.

"Is it done?", asked Anjana.

"Yes", replied Malati with a smile.

"Going home?"

"Yes".

Anjana entered and closed the door. Now a little passage. The passage is dark. Anjana was moving forward, suddenly she felt like she couldn't move forward……as if something was stopping her. It looks like someone is trying to push him out. Anjana was shocked. At that moment, he felt that someone was standing two hands away in front of him……the thief or not?

Anjana is a girl working in a newspaper office in Delhi, she has to run from place to place to collect news. Not so easily scared. "Who is there?" he said in a threatening voice.

Immediately it seemed as if someone left the path.

Anjana didn't make too much of a fuss about the matter lest her mother was afraid. He entered the house and said only one thing to his mother-in-law, "Isn't there a light system in the passage?"

Bivabati was surprised and said, "There is Vaiki." This is Malati went to light the light."

” But…. But I entered and saw that the passage was dark. "

Bivabati said, "Perhaps the bulb has gone off."

Within half an hour, Anjana got dressed and left for the wedding. When he returned at ten o'clock at night, he saw that the divine light was burning in the passage.

Now it's time to sleep. I have to catch the plane tomorrow morning.

Bivabati wanted Anjana to sleep with her. But Anjana did not agree to sleep with her mother-in-law. He said, the next room is empty. I will sleep there.”

Bivabati's face went dry. He explained a lot. He said, "I don't use the house, it's not cleaned? What is needed? Why don't you sleep with me for one night?"

Anjana thought, perhaps she is forbidding her mother-in-law to sleep in the house because of the commotion of hanging bed sheets and mosquito nets. So said. "You don't think anything. I'm fixing everything."

He went to the room on the north side and got the bed by sweeping.

What else does helpless Bivabati do? He only said, "If you are afraid, call me. "

Anjana smiled and said, "Afraid of what?" Ghost?”

The word 'ghost' suddenly came out of his mouth.

What else did Bivabati do, she left the rudraksha necklace around her neck under Anjana's pillow. He prayed in his heart, "O Tagore, protect Bauma."

Anjana was very tired. So spread your arms and legs and relax and sleep. He still didn't know what terrible things were about to happen…

Many nights he suddenly woke up. His breath seems to be stuck in the unbearable heat. He looked through the mosquito net and saw that the fan was not working. Load shedding? There is so much loadshedding in Kolkata! But then he looked at the outside window and saw the street lights shining brightly.

So?

Suddenly he felt that there was someone else in the room. When he looked in shock, he saw a tall man just five feet away from his bed looking at him with his hands on his waist. Such was the dim sight he saw in the passage on his way home from his evening shopping. He could not see the face then.

Anjana sat up trembling. could not It seemed that his whole body was paralyzed.

Thinking of what to do, this time he saw the man coming towards him one step at a time.

Anjana went to scream, but could not. Only a muffled sound came out of the mouth.

By that time, the statue had reached its head. Lifting the mosquito net with one hand……Then grabbed Anjana's left hand with a cold hand and started pulling.

"aaaaa!"

Only one word came out of Anjana's mouth. Then he doesn't remember anything else.

The next day, Anjana woke up to her mother-in-law's call. At first it seemed like a nightmare. But he was stunned when he looked at his hand. The bruise is still red. And….and the mosquito net is still a bit high on the head.

Anjana said to Bivabati Devi, “You will not be alone here anymore. walk with me "

Bivabati said, "Can we get out of here suddenly?"

Anjana said, “But I will go now. I will bring your son soon. Then it can be decided by sitting together. Be careful these few days."

Bivabati smiled a little.

Anjana did not let go of the matter easily. Write down the horrible experience of staying one night in this house. After coming to Calcutta, the information that was found out by going through the old documents was that the long-bodied murderer was hiding in this house with his team, hiding in the eyes of the police. No one dared to inform the police. But one of the landlord's sons sent his army one day to vacate the house and killed him and buried him there. The police came later and dug up the ground to find the body.

Surprise! But the body was not found.
