Location- Gwalior
It was a night during may, 2007. All of my family had gathered at our ancestral bunglow as my mama's wedding was on the cards and everybody was busy with the preparations. I was 14 back then. I and four of my cousins (2 boys and 2 girls- all in the age group of 10- 16 years) went to our terrace for a walk at around 11 in the night. Now, there were hardly any street lights around our bunglow and as it is a small town people go to bed earlier and rise up early in the morning. So at 11 in the night, you'd feel very quiet and even a small sound came across very clearly.
So ya, we were just chilling around, gazing at stars, chit chatting, when all of a sudden I heard this sound of some woman's payal (anklet). I asked my sister, who was the eldest among us, if she heard the same thing just to confirm if I wasn't the only 1 who heard it. She said she didn't hear a single thing. I thought I must be hallucinating as I was tired. A few moments later, the same sound was heard again, this time on a higher pitch as if that woman was running with the payal on.
Now there was this abandoned plot behind our bunglow which just had huge creepers and trees. It was untouched since a very long period of time. There was a guest house just adjacent to it. The guest house looked real creepy at times like those old mansions.
Now getting back to the woman and her payal, this time all my cousins heard that sound. We all stood up and were terribly horrified. As the other three cousins were small and my Di is a coward when it comes to such things, I somehow gathered courage and went ahead to peep towards the railing from where the sound had come. All my cousins stood staring from a distance. I walked slowly. Now, this guest house that I'd mentioned. A very weird thing happened when I was slowly walking towards the railing. I saw some black figure standing on the top- most floor of the guest house. He was staring at the sky like he was into deep thoughts. I got freaked too badly and just when I was busy looking at him, a black cat suddenly popped up in front of me from below the railing and stood there staring at us with its yellow shining eyes. We all got so scared that we ran down like a deer would run for its life seeing a tiger.
We all reached our room, closed the door and sat there staring at each- other for almost 5 minutes. We couldn't speak as we all were dumbstruck by whatever we'd experienced. We narrated all of it to the elder people of our house later but they obviously thought we were fooling around.
Even today, when we remember that incident it throws an adrenaline rush down our spine. We still don't know as to from where did that scary cat come out of nowhere, that sound of the payal, that scary strange human figure.
P.S- Real incident, I know half of you'll won't believe it coz even I never did till it happened to me.
