Cursed castle


Who is the best writer of horror stories at the moment? ...when the question comes, only one name comes Shekhar Banerjee l really appreciate the gentleman's writing l even the biggest unbelievers or brave people are amazed by reading his writing l seems to be true l leaving the traditional ghost story plot ...written in a new way l This is where his popularity l
Shekhar, a middle-aged man, is not married, so he is the owner of his own property. He lost his parents and lives in his uncle's house. He does a small job, but his real income comes from writing. Writers of English literature have written many works on the fort, but now such bone-shaking stories are no longer seen. Some special friends have told him. If such an unknown, hidden fort can be found in India? Be sure to let me know
If you go and write in that environment, the plot will come to your head automatically, but I didn't think that the castle would be found so soon!
His friend Mrigank called from Shimla
"Hello... Shekhar, I have found a fort. It is very British period. Not exactly as you see in the picture. But it is a big house of that style. The surroundings match your ghost story. The place is a little far beyond Shimla. It is near Phagu. l has been abandoned for a long time l is a little higher from the road, at the top of the hill l in the meantime I have visited it l because our company has decided to buy it l to build a hotel l has given me all the responsibilities l am going there with my wife next week l because for a few days From there everything has to be checked l How much repair and remodeling can be done l The company will finalize the purchase after receiving my report l So come a bit early l Because once the work starts, you won't get the ghostly atmosphere l I can say you won't be disappointed. l"
Without saying a word, Shekhar heard everything..l then said l "All right...I will come in ten days. You will message me the details of departure from Shimla. I am looking for flight tickets tomorrow.
Shekhar is satisfied in his heart because Mrigank's gaze doesn't look down on him and when he says, the physical environment... then the words are important.
That's how he decided to buy the plane ticket. He would inform Mrigank before he left. A suppressed excitement started playing in his mind. So far he had never spent a night in a fort. He had only seen it in books and movies. feel? Then sixteen bananas will be fulfilled l Jampesh a ghost story can be written l
Within a few days on Mrigank's phone, directions were received. The friend again praised the house. Shekhar informed the date of his departure.
But the author of the horror story....didn't understand at all...what terrible experience awaits him there in the coming days??
I was late to reach Delhi because the flight was two hours late. I took a car from the airport to go to Shimla. It will take about seven or eight hours. It was mid-November. Let's see if the driver agrees to the journey of another couple of hours from Fagu?
.....Since evening, Atreyi (Mrigank's wife) and Mrigank are worried about Shekhar. Shekhar called only once in the morning. Since then, they did not get the line either. Parlo ...the plane landed late in Delhi l That means ...it will be late for the friend to come l
Atreyi said, "Could your friend give you a piece of news?"
Mrigank laughs, "writers are a little moody. I don't care when. I hope it will come by 9:00 p.m., because I had already told you who will come here from the airport."
In this uninhabited hilly area of ​​Fagur, night means night, quite a night. Meanwhile, the cold is quite intense. Sitting and waiting for Shekhar. Apart from that, the whole house is dark. There is only a little light in the drawing room.
Shekhar's car, Virat came to a halt outside the iron gate when his watch struck 9:30 p.m. He paid the fare to the driver. The driver of Delhi was surprised to see such a ghostly fort.
"Sir, it's up rehenge? Lagta hai koi nehi hai.....bilkul sannata!" The driver turned the car around on the narrow road with a lot of effort and took the way back. Even with the light of the head light, the place was lit up a bit. l
He took out the small Chinese torch from the bag because the mobile phone was not charged. Because the distance from the gate to the house was too far, they probably couldn't hear the sound of his car! The rusted irons glistened as the torchlight fell on the iron gate
In the eyes of Shekhar ... the huge house like a castle in a sky bright stars, it seemed like a big bat with two wings spread l felt more thrill than fear l seems to sit down with a pen and paper! In a room on the top floor of the house like a high dome, the orange light is falling on the window glass..l If his friends are up there....even if they die from here, they will not be able to hear it. Meanwhile, a big lock is hanging on the gate.
He got a little worried l Meanwhile his teeth were chattering due to the bite of winter l .... At this time the light of the front door turned on l Seeing that it was ten o'clock Mrigank decided to go to the road below .... The light was switched on l
As soon as he came to the gate, he met his friend. He was surprised and said, "How long have you been here?"
Shekhar himself is also surprised l thinks how did Mrigank know the news of his coming from that high house? The windows of the house are closed because of the cold ... he left the house early in the morning and he is already tired of the journey! I don't want to waste time asking all those questions. I'll find out later. Let's get inside the house first.
Mrigank proceeded towards home with his friend. The question was saved as a message in Shekhar's head
(I am speaking Shankar l but you have been in the incident since the beginning l so there is no need to tell you anything new l nothing has happened so far to be afraid l except that little incident...which Shekhar saved in his mind l then what else? You too Follow them into the house (see you later).
Sitting in the drawing room with the fire place of the previous day...shekhar feels a bit relaxed l Atreyi smiles l "finally arrived l was worried l"
Mrigank says "It's already night and he's tired. You prepare dinner."
Shekhar says l "...it's not even ten o'clock l I'm fine l If you don't mind, rather have a cup of tea or coffee l"
"Right....Shekharda I will bring it right now" Atrei walks towards the kitchen and says Mrigank from behind.
"Come for me too"
Shekhar looked around and looked around. The sitting area was as big as the room. It was made in the style of the British period. The low center table around the sofa set was a small dining table. There were various photo frames on the walls. There were lanterns hanging from the ceiling. Of course. At the moment, only two brass standing lamps illuminate the room
"Very nice. Feels like I'm sitting in Dracula's old palace," Shekhar praised
"... in the morning, I will show you around the whole house. I will see how this villa fits in with the surrounding landscape. " Mrigank rubbed his hands. .l
Shekhar had already talked to Atreyi l attended their wedding too l Mrigank sipped his coffee and said l
"But...the real thing doesn't seem to be l I couldn't see or realize his ticket even from here for a few days l "Atreyi doesn't understand --- what Swami is talking about!
Shekhar smiles and says, "Tenader will bring my pen, opening the door of hell."
"...I don't like those discussions this night..l" Atreyi now understands l
Shekhar sat down on the sofa and asked the question that has been swirling in his mind for so long.
Mrigank sat with his knees bent and said, "...where in Chile? ...we were sitting here. Moreover, we are only using two rooms on the second floor. The rest of the rooms are closed. The whole house is dark."
Shekhar looked at Deva Devi with mysterious eyes through the gap of glasses l "Understood...the ghost writer is being scared? In the dark night...I saw a clear orange light in the window glass! Then you opened the door and came out l so I was wondering how you got down so quickly.. ..No matter how hard you both try to scare me away with ghosts... ! I'm not going l"
Now Atreyi insists, "On the contrary, you are scaring us! Your friend is right. Except for the two rooms below and on the second floor..."
Shekhar doesn't let him finish his speech. He takes a last sip of coffee and says, "...okay, father, it's my fault..." He looks at the clock, "I'll freshen up a bit, and then I'll have dinner." That discussion ended l Mrigank stood up l
"Come on, let me show you your room upstairs. There is an attached bathroom. I will also get a geyser. Our bedroom is next door."
They climbed the wooden stairs and came to the second floor. Mrigank showed the room and said, "No...get ready in fifteen minutes and come down. He is preparing dinner."
Shekhar saw that the bedroom was very good. Although the house was old, the interior was still strong.
Wash your face and hands in hot water and the old saying hit your brain - Why did they suddenly deny the matter of the lighted room? He saw a clear light! But do they want to have fun with him? Want to see how strong the nerve of the writer of horror stories? He decided...tomorrow morning he will understand only when he enters that room
As he entered the room from the bathroom with a towel, a different feeling came over his body. He felt like a shadowy figure left the bed, ran into the big closet attached to the wall, and his chest became as cold as ice for a second. He put on the glasses in his hand. He looked at the cupboard l went ahead and opened the door ... there is no one.. l can't understand, why is his mind suddenly acting so fearful? He is always brave. How many times has he gone to the crematorium at night for the sake of story! Mixed with many tantrics l but never showed weakness of nerves l
So is there anything real in this house? So what if? They could have seen it earlier. Rather, Mrigank said, those things are not here. At this time, Mrigank's voice came out.
"What happened? The food is getting cold" -- Shekhar hurriedly came down the stairs. He was making them sleep for a long time.
"Sorry, I made you late," said Shekhar from the kitchen with a trace of unpreparedness.
"We also eat at night, but there is nothing to do. Sit for a while...I am heating the chicken. Until then, let's talk together as two friends."
Looking at Mrigank, he said, "Then why did you laugh?"
"...Me? When?" Mrigank looked at Shekhar with round eyes
Shekhar now gets a little angry l "...what have you started? You got me baby boy? I called a little earlier...so I came down in a hurry...l". © Sankar Chatterjee.
Hearing Shekhar's serious voice, Atreyi also came out from the kitchen. Mrigank said
"Friend...Yorki, you are killing me. The first time you came, you said that the light is on in the attic room! Now you are saying again...I called you from below! I was discussing your case with my wife a while ago. You joked just to scare us. That's what I was saying." Atreyi also supported the statement
Dhonk Gillo Shekhar l which will he believe? own eyes and ears? Who are their words? There is some mystery in it, but what is the mystery...that is not what comes to mind
Mrigank says to his friend, "It seems like the result of many journeys. Have dinner and sleep well, I will see that you are refreshed in the morning."
Atreyi says l " don't have to get up early tomorrow in this cold l " No more talk l After dinner Mrigank gives a peg of whiskey to Shekhar l
"The body will be warm at night and the tofa will sleep."
After cheers, the two friends sipped the Sura. After a while, the red drink started its work. The happy peace of the Sura is spreading in the veins of Shekhar's body. The hidden fear in the mind is decreasing! Took one more peg. State sleep was falling in both eyes. Then he stood up.
Mrigank came upstairs with him l "We will stay in the next room l will knock on the door if needed l Shekhar entered the room with a wave of his hand and locked the door from inside and jumped on the bed l After a while he started snoring l
(I came to you again l seem a little worried? ...You are right l Things are not progressing easily l Of course tomorrow morning Shekhar will surely see the house of Chile Kothar l But that call? Besides it is still lying all night! ...If you dare If there is, stand in a corner of the room and wait l If you can solve any problem? ...I'll go now l Good night l )
In the early morning, Shekhar woke up. He pulled his body out from under the covers. He had to go to the bathroom. The small night lamp was burning in the room. He got out of bed and heard a rustling sound. He noticed the sound and looked at the wall cupboard. The wooden door of the cupboard was slowly closing. l was open so long l
I remembered the scene before going to eat. The black figure left the bed and entered the closet
