The Girl in My Wall
Rate this encounter:
Rupanjana - Kolkata, West Bengal, India - September 2005, 2:00 AM
It was in the month of September. I was a high school passout then and
started my college. As there was no good law colleges at my place, I took
admission in Kolkata Law college which was almost 60 kilometers away from my
home. I took an accommodation near Scottish Church College which was one of
the old reputed locality of Kolkata. I shifted in an old and big house. The
family who gave me the rent used to live upstairs and I got my room on the
ground floor. The room was damp and because of the dampness, it was chilling
inside the room.
The next day a girl named Ayushi came to share my room as a roommate. As I
saw her, I felt a little odd. Her eyes were some sort of blank and she was
very calm. That very night I heard someone strolling by the corridor. I woke
up, switched on the light, but I couldn't see anyone. I fell asleep. The
next morning I asked our landlord whether it would be him but he said it was
neither him nor anyone from his family and also he assured me that the
security was tight, so it's not possible for anyone to come in. But still I
asked my roommate if she had heard the same sound. She smiled blankly at me
and nodded her head.
From then on, that strolling sound could be heard regularly at around 2:00
AM. Even sometimes I started hearing the sound moving in the room around my
bed. To be very frank, I did not dare to open my eyes in case I saw anything
spooky. Every night I started going to bed enchanting the name of god. Then
I started noticing that there was no house lizards, cockroaches, not even
ants to be found, I became sure that something was wrong with the house. I
talked to my parents but they didn't believe me so I decided to stay there
dead or alive!
A few days later the most terrible thing happened. I became very
disappointed regarding my room. I was sleeping. It was around 2 o'clock when
all of a sudden I felt a chilling five-fingered hand over my shoulder. I got
scared and got up by screaming and I saw my roommate was not there in the
room. I was very sure that it wasn't her mischief and had to do something
with the room. I stood up and walked near the door when I was thunderstruck
to see that the door was locked from my side -- it was impossible for anyone
to go out and get the door locked from inside. I felt sweat running down my
body. For the rest of the night I cuddled inside my blanket and I didn't
know when I felt asleep.
The next morning I called for the landlord and again I was shocked to hear
from him that there was no one living with me or sharing my room. I became
furious and started using slangs at him and then finally he confessed that
the room was actually haunted by a girl who was buried behind the walls
which I found to be damp by her father because she loved a guy who was not
of her community. That very day without even brushing my teeth I started for
my home. After coming back I fell in high fever. My mother took me to the
temple of maa Kali and the priest said that I was affected by a spirit. He
gave some flowers and water of peace and I soon recovered.
Years have passed but whenever I remember the incident I feel scared and
uncomfortable.
