Shadow in the House

It was July 2006, monsoon season in India, when my friend decided to take a break from his monotonous job schedule and planned to visit Goa with his 2 daughters, younger sister and her boyfriend. On a pleasant morning they reached Mumbai airport after 2 and half hours of journey from Dubai. And then, they left for Mumbai. It took them almost half a day to reach the newly purchased house in Goa, which they usually used for vacation purposes only, which meant that the house remained empty most of the time. After much cleaning of the house, they went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. By the time they got back home, they were all so exhausted from the travelling and cleaning that everybody fell asleep as soon as they put their heads on the pillow.

In the middle of the night, my friend woke up abruptly as he felt someone stroking his hair. He got up and thought that it must be a prank of his sister and her boyfriend as his sister's boyfriend was naughty and always up to some mischief, but both of them were fast asleep. He lay down again and tried to fall asleep but after a few minutes he felt the same touch on his scalp. He freaked out but didn't dare to stand up again.

The next afternoon he told the full incident about last night to his sister and her boyfriend. His sister got surprised after hearing the whole story as she was also facing something similar. She said "I also felt someone's presence in the bathroom when I was taking a bath this morning; it's like someone has an eye over me". She continued "This watched over feeling was very strong in the kitchen and bathroom. I never felt threatened by it, but I did not like the "being watched over" feeling, especially in the bathroom". Everyone was filled with fear. Though they came there to stay for long but these freaky incidents were so frequent and regular that they couldn't stay there for more than 4 nights.

The day they decided to leave the place, something major happened. They found that his sister was missing. They started to search for his sister but they could not find her. In the middle of the night, my friend heard painful sounds of his sister which was coming from her room. When he went to her room, they saw she was not there. Suddenly an awful sound came in the room. They decided to leave that house as soon as possible, so they ran fast. My friend felt something falling on his hand. As he looked up to the ceiling of the room, he saw an old man was walking with the head of his sister. He froze, a terrible feeling gushed within him. They began to run fast without waste of any time. But unfortunate the exit door of the house was strongly closed……
