Speaker 1 (00:00):
In homes scattered across generations. One family has been shadowed
by footsteps, whispers, and warnings that raise a chilling question.
What has been following her all these years. My name
is Edwin and here is Sarrika true scary story.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I would like to start with my experiences in my
granny's homes. The first home was situated in Nauibumbi and
the second in Nassix, so for now let's just call
them House one and House two. All my summer vacation
since my childhood, I have spent it in my granny's homes.
(00:45):
So I have had many experiences along with my family
that we shared. I knew that I was not imagining
things and these things really happened. The first incident that
I will share what happened when I was around eight
(01:09):
to nine years old. It was me, my mom, and
my younger sister. It was a summer night. All three
of us were sleeping in the bedrooms in the house
that time. It was my uncle, my grandma, and my
uncle's wife. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, I
(01:33):
was waken up by my mom and you know, she
was very scared. She you know, she started asking me,
why are you shaking the bed so hard. I was
also woken up from the sleep, and I was also terrified,
and I could feel that the whole bed on which
we were sleeping, it was a king sized bed, was
literally shaken. It was like somebody was holding all the
(01:58):
four legs of the bed. Movement looked very violently, and
we both, you know, just stared at each other, and
even I'm reading Goose from right now. When she said, okay,
go just go back to sleep, go back to sleep.
Then I don't know how, but I went back to sleep.
(02:18):
After a few seconds again, the bed started chiating very violently.
This time when I woke up, I saw that my
mom was snoring, my little sister was snoring, and I
was like, I shouldn't have woken up right now, and
I just put the blanket over my head and I
went back to sleep. In the morning, when we all
woke up, I asked my mom, key, did you tell
(02:39):
about the bed to them? So then she said maybe
my impossibility was there an earthquake or something like that.
So then and my grandma specifically told us, you do
not share this to your uncle, my maternal uncle. He
also has had many experiences. He's no more. Now he
unfortunately lost him to COOVID. So he also had had
(03:01):
many experiences, supernatural experiences. This is just one of so
many incidents that happened in that house. Another incident I
would like to add here was I was just taking
her an afternoon nap. Now, this was in another bedroom. Okay,
(03:22):
it's a two dhk house. This particular bedroom, it had
two beds on opposite was so I was keeping on
one of the beds and it was a noon nap
and I slept in and it was evening and I
heard my mom call me, and I heard it once twice,
and when I opened my eyes, I saw, I literally
(03:45):
saw someone standing in the doorway. Now this doorway leads
from the kitchen to this bedroom. I swear I could
seriously see this man standing. And the man then he
was standing, he was in like he was facing me.
I would make up and I could not see the
(04:05):
details of his body, but I could see a silhouette.
The silhouette was the whole body structure. The silouette was
black and it had dots. You know the olden TVs
where we used to see many dots when the cable
went off, Like all the dot door and black and
white dots. His whole body was covered in method white dots,
(04:25):
and outline of the silhouette was an orange line. It
was not a glow, but it was orange line. I thought, hey,
am imagining this, so I rubbed my eyes, But then
again he was there facing me. I rubbed my eyes.
I looked again, he was standing there. Then again I
closed my eyes and I opened my ead and that
(04:47):
thing vanished, and I could tell that it was a man,
and it was off a height which nobody in my
family was. As far as I can remember, he was
like my grandfather. But when my grandfather was younger, I
talked to my mom of all these experiences, like the
(05:09):
bed shaking, we all know, everybody in my family knows
about it, but we do not understand why it happened.
Now those figure, also that I saw, the black figure.
We talked about this too, like my mom knows, my
dad knows, even my husband knows. Now my grandmother knows.
But my grandmother she always used to dismiss such things.
(05:30):
I feel she used to say purposely so that you
know my uncle did not feel upread, But she never
used to, you know, find out the reason, or we
never knewly buy this happened. All of these people have
experienced so many things in their previous homes. Also, me
(05:51):
along with my cousins. Cousins also used to come over
for some vacations. We used to just play and in
the night, you know, when we used to lie down
and just talk before going to sleep. This house number
one was on the fifth floor, which was the top
floor of the building at that time. One detail which
I would try to tell you there is there was
no direct staircase that led up to the terrace like
(06:15):
we have attics in the bungalows or these things, so
you had to put the ladder and then go. Nobody
was there on the terraff at any time. Most of
the days and at night, we used to hear somebody
running very fast, running here and there from the living
room to the bedroom, to the bedroom to the kitchen,
you know, running footsteps, walking, thumping like this. And this
(06:38):
was a normal thing, you know, Like if I used
to say to my grandmother, see there's somebody I can
hear this, I can hear somebody walking away. Yeah, okay, fine.
She neither dismissed it directly, neither she accepted. Yet you
can hear what happened. It was again in my sister,
(07:03):
one of my cousins and my mom. We just lept
on the floor because it was summer, very hot, Mumbai's
hot and humid climate. So we just slept on the floor,
you know, with fans gone. And that there was an
attached to balcony. So my aunt who had come from Australia,
she used to bring these koala you know, gift things
and all shiny things. So there was a showpiece of
(07:25):
koala that was kept on the curtained headboard. You know,
they used to have that curtain headboots in previous day,
so they had kept that poala piece over there. Okay,
it was a show piece and it used to shine.
Now when we slept, our heads were towards the terraces,
our feet were towards where the television was based, so
(07:47):
you could see the reflection of the terrace and the
window and you know in the television when we sleep
one night, all the lights were off. What my mom
said was she saw something like two eyes in the television.
First she thought when she saw it was they were
very shining eyes, glowing lines. She thought it is the
(08:10):
coala piece that is kept on the headboard, the curtain headboard.
Suddenly it clicked to her that the headboard is you know,
way high, it paced way high, and these this thing
that is shining like ice, it is you know, at
eye level. So then she got scared. Then she looked
(08:34):
up towards the bulkany ki, what is it that shining?
Is that the koala show pace or what is it?
And she saw nothing and the coalar piece was way
high and it was not all, not at all shining.
She again looked into the reflection in the television. Again
those eyes were there. She was so scared, so scared,
She was so scared. She got up, she switched on
(08:55):
the light, and then she did not sleep the whole night.
This particular house has so many experiences we all have had.
I was one sitting in that particular room where my
mom experienced this. I could see the corridor leading to
my uncle's room. There were many small, small incidents like
(09:17):
at night when me and my cousin's history, you know,
we didn't sleep early because we were very fond of
you know, playing and chatting and sharing stories. So it
was once my knee and one of my cousins greeting
they were talking and there was a rod, a metal rod,
(09:38):
which was kept in the living room, and suddenly they
heard it to me out of no where. There was
no wind, there was nothing, And this happened a couple
of nights. I think two or three times this happened.
Can you imagine give we were so young that time
in school and then we are experiencing all of this.
But it was very scary for us lovius to look
(09:59):
forward to going to my grandma's mom all the ways.
I would like to share some experiences that I encountered
in my recent homes. Now, so now this house that
(10:25):
we currently live in, we have a pet dog and
a pet cat. Also, it is said that animals experience
or sense supernatural things more vividly than human beings. Pet dog,
her name is Whiskey. This particular incident which I'm going
to share, I saw the sleeping, she was fast asleep.
(10:45):
She did not react to this, but I swear I
felt this as it was as good as it is
that time of the day when it is in between
morning and night. So I was a week so now
in a bedroom, he had the bed towards the wall
and to my right, towards my head is the entrance
(11:07):
of the bedroom. To my left, my husband slept. Now
I could hear very loud footsteps coming from outside our house.
Then the footsteps entered the kitchen. I don't know why,
but I felt that it was a man. He was
(11:29):
stomping his feet from outside. He entered the kitchen. From
the kitchen, you know, he entered the corridor. From the corridor.
Then he did not stop. You know, I was getting
usbums in my sleep, and it was not like I
was fully asleep. It was half asleep and half awake.
He entered the bedroom from beside me. He turned left. Okay,
(11:52):
he walked right beside me. He turned left, and he
stopped right at my feet. My husband was slipping to
the left. He did not go up till my husband okay.
We stopped right at my feet, and I was like,
now what time I supposed to do? I cannot move,
I cannot do anything, and I know that this man
is standing over here. I don't know why, but I
(12:13):
felt like I need to have a look at what
this thing is. So then what I did was I was,
you know, I had my hand over my eyes that time,
like just my elbow that position that is sleep in.
I peeked through my eyes. Okay, I did not fully
open it, but you know, I slightly opened it, and sopping,
what is this thing? So then what I saw was
(12:35):
I saw a black line, okay, A shimmery line, A
thick line, maybe up to our eye level if we stand, okay,
And it was shaking. It was shaking, and it was there,
and it was very faint, like I could see through it.
I could see through it, but I could also see
the black line and it was shaking. It was nothing else.
(12:56):
I did not see any man. I did not see
any woman, but it felt like out. Then I suddenly
closed my eyes and I saw something when I closed
my eyes, that particular man again with loud footsteps. He
took the same path through which he had come and
he left the house. You know, it was so clear.
(13:18):
And then morning I woke up. You know, I couldn't
wait to tell my husband. And my husband is you know,
very understanding. He always believes me, and very thankful for that.
He himself has never had any experience of his own. Okay,
he's a very religious person. I believe even I am religious.
But I don't know why I have all these experiences.
One more incident which I would like to share was
(13:41):
my husband was away for his business trip in Mumbai
and I was alone with Whiskey at that time. That time,
we did not have the cat with us. The bedroom door, okay,
so it is made of a laminatee which is reflective.
Lights get often reflected here and there if any cars
is from outside. And her house is on the sixth floor,
(14:02):
so still you can see the highway from afar. I
was sitting the whiskey on the bed okay, the same
bed where I experienced this, and you know I have
it's my habit. You know. Also always talk to whiskey.
You developed that bond with your bed, okay, like a child.
I was just talking something to her and she suddenly,
(14:22):
you know, she was just relaxed. And then suddenly she
sat up straight, her spine straight, okay, her two legs
in the front, like the way the dogs sat. I said,
what happened? And then what she did was she saw
behind me like and to the eye level, like if
we stand our eyes where you know that level. She
(14:43):
saw there but behind me, and then again she looked
at me again. She looked behind against She did this
five to six times, and I said, kid, stop scaring me.
There is nothing behind me. Very quickly I turned back,
and then I looked at her and I said, kay,
stop staring scaring me. There's nothing. She again did that,
and then you know, then later on she again she
(15:05):
sat relaxed. So that experience was really very, very scary
to me. This was in my cousin's home, so in
summer I had I gone there to stay for a
couple of days. So it was again me, my cousin,
my aunt. Again. We were sleeping on the floor in
(15:28):
the bedroom, okay, and maybe my aunt and my mom
they were sleeping on the bed again. I was half asleep,
half awake, and I started hearing footsteps. Now I knew
how many people were there in the house. I knew
there was nobody else in the house except us, and
I started hearing footsteps. This time I felt that it
(15:49):
was a female, maybe a girl. She was wearing the anklets, okay,
with the belts. And then she started walking now from
the living room towards the bedroom. She was walking softly,
but I could hear the anklets, and she walked, she walked,
she walked, okay, from the living room to the center.
They had dining space and kitchen, and from there towards
(16:10):
the bedroom. Now I was sleeping my head towards the
bedroom door. She came towards me. She stood near my head. Okay,
I could feel it again. I got those ones that
night everybody was asleep, okay, And then again that female
stood there for some time and then went away. I
(16:32):
was watering the plants in the garden. We have a garden.
This is a brown floorhouse. Once my mom was cooking.
One day, I was watering the plants and then suddenly,
I out of nowhere, I felt a voice. It was
similar to my own voice. Okay, And they told me,
(16:56):
just shifted a bit to your right and water that
plant toward very clearly told me, can you just moved
a bit ahead and you water that plant over there?
So clearly it told me okay, And I kept like,
why am I getting this thought? Or who is this
telling me? Again? That I heard that sound, Just move
over there and water that plant over there. So I
(17:17):
moved three to four steps away and I started, you know,
watering the other plants. Then suddenly what happened was that
was a huge tile tile that fell from the terrace
to the ground float in the exact spot where I
was standing near, just five steps away from me, and
it cauttered into pieces, and it was the tiles that
(17:39):
if it would have had fallen on my head, you know,
I don't know if I would have survived it. And
then I ran inside into monkeys. Then she came outside,
she checked, and then we later understood that there were
some construction work going upsteps, going on on the terrace,
and they had kept those tiles on the parapet and
there were kids playing it and one of them just
(18:01):
pushed it while playing and it fell down. So, you know,
I remember that voice when it told me, you know
all that voice almost saved my life. I don't know,
this is not something like you know, uh, supernatural in
a scary way, but it's still I'm, you know, really
thankful for that voice. Even now today, I hear that voice.
(18:24):
You know, well i'm driving there or when I'm going somewhere,
it tells me to stop. I don't know why, but
this voice, you know, it keeps instructing me. And you know,
it's like my own voice, but it comes not from
inside me, but I can feel it, you know, from
behind me or above me, and I'm really thankful for
(18:48):
that voice, you know, for having saved me so many times.
I am open to experiencing these things as long as
they don't harm me, or harm my family or harm
anyone around.
