Saw A Dead

Even today, when I think of that night, I still get Goosebumps, I'll never forget that night...

I was 14 years old then, living with my parents in a city named Noida.

One day when I came home, my brother told me that a girl died last night in the house alongside ours. He said "She hung herself by the ceiling fan" it's still a mystery that how she died, she was murdered or it was a suicide...

3 days later, 11 o'clock at night my father had just came from office. After resting for few minutes he asked me to bring a cigarette, I refused at first because the shop was just next to the house the girl was died in but that was the only shop opened at that time. But then I just ignored my fear and darted towards the shop, bought the cigarette at a lightning speed and just came back as fast as I could. Then I told my mom that I'm going to bed and as soon as I got on bed, I fell asleep because I was tired. My brother was sleeping just next to me. It's strange but that's all I remember. When I opened my eyes I saw my parents gathered around me, everyone was staring at me, everyone was scared and my brother had a Band-Aid down to his chin. I asked my mom "What happened? And how'd he get this wound? What time is it?" She said that just a few minutes after I slept I started crying loudly like and was totally out of control. My brother tried to stop me but I grabbed his neck and lifted him straight up, the strange thing is that my brother is three years older than me and yet healthier, but I lifted him with one hand. Then they separated me from him somehow but I then fainted. They say that I was attacked by something evil, I believe it was that girl that died last night.

Then the same night my doubt was cleared because I really saw her. I was sitting on the stairs at the door with my parents and at the corner of the street I saw her. She was like waving her hands and was like calling me towards her. I don't know what happened but I stood up and started to walk towards her but my father grabbed my hands and asked "Where are you going?" I said "Look! That girl's calling me". I guess he didn't saw her but both my mom and dad started abusing her, then she suddenly vanished.

We are Brahmin and in our society somewhere it's believed that abusing an evil spirit keeps them away.

I still remember her face showing no emotion in the dark, wearing a blue skirt and a pink t-shirt. There's something else that I felt, I felt that I was very sad like someone very close to me was dead and I was about to cry whereas I didn't even know that girl personally.

Since then I never saw her again.

Neither do I want.

If someone has any idea about why she only appeared only to me, I'll appreciate your suggestion.
