Chapter 1
I loved living alone at home and watching late-night movies. But everything changed one day when something horrible happened to me. I was alone at home because my parents were out. So, I decided to watch a late-night movie and invited my friends to join me, but they all rejected my offer, saying their parents wouldn't allow them to stay out late. I decided not to force them and watched the movie alone with my favorite snacks and coke. About an hour and a half later, I got a call from my father, informing me they wouldn't be able to come home early and instructing me to eat my food and lock all the doors properly. I just said, "Okay, Dad," and hung up. This was normal for me as my parents usually had busy schedules and were often out of the house.
Around midnight, the doorbell rang, and I wondered who could be at the door at that hour. When I opened it, I saw an old woman standing there. She was wearing a torn white saree, but I couldn't see her face clearly due to the dim light. She asked me for some water, and thinking she just needed help, I agreed and asked her to wait. She smiled and nodded. After fetching water and returning, I found she wasn't there anymore. I found it strange but brushed it off and focused on my movie.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang again, and once more, the old woman was there, asking for water. I got water for her again, but once more, she disappeared when I returned. Deciding not to open the door again, I prepared to leave when someone placed their hand on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw the woman floating in the air, looking terrifying. I screamed and opened my eyes. Sorry, I forgot to mention that everything I described was from a radio show I was listening to. The episode was so scary that I screamed in fear too.
