Party Ruined

This happened with me and my friends on 22 December 2023. Individually we had plans for the 25th of December and 1st of January; that's why we decided to have a party sooner and then the date of 22nd of December was fixed.

After having some creepy experiences (I had shared those incidents here), I have joined hands with a team of paranormal investigators and have become a close friend of the leader of that team, Amit.

So on the fixed day, exactly at 7:00 pm, we met at a place, and from there we went to a deserted house located in a fairly populated place.

As we got out of the car, I got an eerie feeling. The house seemed to be pretty old, quite a few decades old. And nobody knew why it was deserted. Trees and bushes have grown from many places inside that house, and no doubt it would collapse at the slightest frequency of an earthquake. I looked curiously at Amit --- he just shrugged off and asked us to get into the building.

He and I led the way whereas Deep and Rajat followed us carrying the eatables. I had introduced Amit with Deep and Rajat, a month or 2 ago. They don't know that Amit is a paranormal investigator, and I have joined him. Well, to be honest, I'm kind of Amit's student.

We sat, strolled, chatted, smoked, cracked silly jokes, laughed, and did a few other things until 9 pm.

As Deep and Rajat had to return to their respective homes before 10:15 pm, we decided to finish the eatables and the drinks. We searched, and found a place that was nice enough to sit for some time, in a room, and began having our share of food. Hardly 10-12 minutes passed when all of a sudden it was this feeling that we were not alone --- there; I mean, it was somehow clear to us, especially to Amit and me that we were more than just 4 in number! Although we weren't prepared for this; we adjusted our body for any action and reaction while still sitting in our previous postures. We all looked at each other, deep in our eyes, as if trying to convey, 'No matter what happens - Don't panic!'

Within the next 2-3 minutes, all 4 of us heard footsteps!

Heavy, steady footsteps!

Someone was there at a 10 feet distance from the place we were sitting. Signaling with eyes and gesturing with his hands, Amit told us to pack the eatables slowly and keep the cigarettes close to us. I did understand about re-packing the eatables, but why he asked to keep the cigarettes close to us, confused me.

We remained silent. When the footsteps stopped, Amit and Rajat got up and looked in the adjacent rooms with their mobile torches to find out whether somebody was there. Finding no one, they both came and sat with us. Amit whispered let's wait for a few minutes. We instantly agreed.

Deep became annoyed as he felt that this party was getting ruined and therefore, in a harsh angry tone he abused and cursed Mr. Nobody, looking all around the room. We tried to calm him, and he did cooperate but again abused us too saying that we're cowards and kids of age 8-10 years are braver than us, etc., etc.

Still angry and cursing, abusing in a low tone, he took a small chicken piece and threw it in the direction from where the footsteps were heard. Amit was about to scold him very badly but he didn't get that chance because things in that room such as bricks, bamboo, wooden planks, etc. Started to fall.

At the same time, there were alternate bangs on the closed doors and windows, of the room we're sitting and also the other rooms.

Surprisingly, it became very difficult for us to breathe. The air in that room became very heavy.

As a result, Rajat fainted, and Deep started to have panic attacks.

Amit and I, both felt as if someone wanted to establish full dominance there and our being there, at that time was certainly not welcomed. And Deep's action certainly gave it reasons enough to break all hell loose upon us. Wasting no time, Amit took Rajat on his shoulders, and following him, I took Deep on mine.

Carrying friends on our shoulders, we managed to first get out of the room and then from the building. Doing this was not difficult but only God knows why it felt almost impossible to get out of the building. A 5+ years experienced guy like Amit was awfully nervous, and yeah, scared too. Rather than trusting Amit, I put all my faith in my isht - devata (English translation would be 'personal favorite God', perhaps), praying and chanting continuously.

We got in our car and drove away from there as quickly as possible. The overall feeling was so intense that we didn't find the courage to talk about it for the next couple of days. And honestly speaking, we haven't talked about it until now.

I'm really having a hard time believing what happened there because I just cannot believe whatever had happened there and I simply cannot explain it to anyone in words, face to face about the incident, but, I also don't have any excuse for not believing as I was there to witness those scary happenings and there's certainly no need to explain to or share with anybody because we each have 3 friends from that night to do so.
