This incident happened on a cold winter night. I was alone in my room on the first floor, completely engrossed in a phone call with a Facebook friend. Even today, I vividly remember that whatever I saw was massive—though to this day, I have no idea what it actually was.

Here is exactly what happened that night.

I was casually talking to my friend, and we were so lost in our conversation that I didn't even realize when the clock ticked past midnight. I was sitting on a chair, and exactly to my right was the open door of my room. As I talked, my eyes would naturally drift back and forth between the space in front of me and the open doorway.

To understand what happened next, you need to know a bit about the layout of our house. We didn't have a direct staircase leading up to my floor. Instead, we had built a makeshift bridge out of wooden planks connecting our roof to our neighbor’s roof, and we used their stairs to get up and down. Whenever someone walked across those wooden planks, it produced a loud, distinct creaking noise. It was a sound so clear that anyone sitting inside my room could easily hear it.

The night crept on, and the time neared 2:00 AM. My friend and I were still on the phone. As I casually glanced toward the open door again, my blood ran cold. I saw something pass right in front of the doorway and move toward the makeshift bridge. A second later, I heard it—the unmistakable, heavy sound of footsteps crossing the wooden planks.

My immediate reaction was rational. I assumed it was just my dad wrapped in a heavy winter shawl, or perhaps my sister trying to pull a late-night prank to scare me. Without wasting a second, I bolted out of the room to catch them in the act.

I stepped out into the freezing night and looked around. I even crossed the wooden planks myself, scouring every corner and every shadow where my sister could possibly be hiding.

But there was no one. The roof was completely dead and empty.

Highly confused, I walked back into my room and sat down. It was only then, as I thought deeply about what had just happened, that my brain processed what my eyes had actually seen. Whatever had passed by my door wasn't human-sized. It was impossibly huge—so tall that, from my chair, I had only been able to see its torso. Worse still, it wasn't a solid physical body. It was blurry, shifting, and formless, looking more like a thick, dark fog than a person.

I tried to stay in the room, but a heavy, unsettling feeling washed over me. The atmosphere felt incredibly wrong. Panic completely took over, and in my fear, I immediately called my older brother, who was away doing a night shift at his company.

At first, he scolded me for calling him so late. But after hearing what had happened, he quickly gave me strict advice: "Don't stay up there. Go downstairs and sleep immediately."

I didn't hesitate. Keeping my brother on the phone so I wouldn't feel alone, I quickly locked the door, left the first floor behind, and hurried downstairs to safety.

I come from a village where talk of black magic, witches, and urban legends is quite common. To keep children sitting quietly in one place, we were often told scary stories about strange monsters. This was before the era of mobile phones, when kids would gather in the evenings just to share ghost stories. I used to be a part of those groups. We all loved discussing such things at dusk, but I had no idea that something strange was going to happen to me as well.

This happened when I was about 10 or 11 years old. It was winter, and I was sleeping in my bed with my family. Just to clarify, I lived with my mother, my siblings, and me. My father used to stay away from home often for work. Being the youngest in the house, I would sleep between my mother and my brother.

One night, around 12:00 AM, while I was sleeping under my quilt, I started hearing strange sounds—like someone walking while wearing anklets (payal). In our area, when someone hears such sounds in the jungle or on a dark path, it is believed to be a dark, evil witch who preys on men. I was hearing something very similar. At first, I thought it was just my imagination and tried to go back to sleep, but the sound kept getting louder. I even covered my ears with my hands, but the noise wouldn't stop. By now, I was truly terrified; even in the dead of winter, I was drenched in sweat. I couldn't understand what was happening to me. Trembling with fear, I somehow shook my brother and said, "Brother, I can hear the jingling sound of anklets. Can you hear anything?"

He flat-out denied it and told me to just go to sleep.

I tried hard to sleep, but I was shivering with fear. Then the sound grew even louder, and it felt as if it was coming from right near my bedroom door. My mother used to keep a flashlight with her—something she does to this day—and whenever there was a noise, she would turn it on to look around. That night, a lizard made a sound near the wall clock right in front of my face, and my mother turned on the flashlight to check. I was peeking out from my quilt, which is why I remember the exact time on that clock so well. It was right in front of me, showing a few minutes past twelve.

As soon as the flashlight was turned off, I felt the sound of the anklets getting closer. It felt like someone was right outside the room. I should mention that my room didn't have a door at that time, and there was an adjoining room outside from where the sound was coming. I tried my best to sleep but couldn't. And then, when it felt like the sound had reached right at my doorway, I peeked slightly out of my quilt, and what I saw is something I haven't been able to forget to this day.

A woman in a red saree was walking, and the jingling sound was coming in rhythm with her steps. Terrified, I shook my brother again and asked him to look, but he said he couldn't see or hear anything. I kept watching her. She was glowing in the dark, as if there was a bright aura around her, which is why I could see her so clearly even in the pitch blackness. She didn't do anything to me; she just kept walking until she disappeared from my sight. I couldn't comprehend anything. I spent the entire night praying to God, breaking into cold sweats.

I don't know if you will find this story scary or not, but for a 10-year-old child to see and feel something like this is absolutely terrifying. And yes, to me, this story is completely real. But I could never properly figure out what it actually was.

Will the souls of dinosaurs also come to account for their deeds on Judgment Day?

Why is it that ghosts are often captured on camera, but we cannot see them with our own eyes? Furthermore, if they appear on camera, it implies that light is reflecting off them. If light is indeed reflecting off them, why don't they cast a shadow? Ultimately, if a camera lens can capture them, why can't the naked eye?"
