Ghost within me ..

In the busy life of Bangalore city I always opted for change. Changing homes had become a hobby ... just couldn't stay at the same place for long. There was something within me that made me change my hair style every three months and home every six.
Last Aug with a mind-blowing party I said goodbye to my roommate who was going back home to Koorg and I took a Kannada style penthouse near my office.
As usual I furnished it to a home and in few weeks something started happening. Staying alone was never a problem for me ... I was always a loner when it comes to staying and sleeping. But this house use to give me the creeps in the night. I could handle insomnia not the nightmares. The weird thoughts about murder and suicide which I have never considered a part of me. Seeing myself dying in different way in dream made me think I am crazy.

I, a non believer who could never tell her mom that she didn't believe in god. But paranormal has always caught  my attention. So some say if you believe in ghost you should believe in God too. hmmm or was it the other way around. Anyways, the 1st paranormal activity in the house was moving water bottles. Yeah it can be my imagination but  I was finding the water bottle in the living-room in the morning not next to me where i kept it before sleeping. Definitely my imagination!! I thought I was sleepwalking. But never told a soul about it.

First crazy and now sleepwalking - Asylum here I come !! Errrr let me forget that I said that to myself...

Regular visit home - Went home for a weekend and my dad insisted that I should visit the astrologer. So there I was sitting in front of my dad's childhood friend and famous astrologer.

He caught my attention when he guessed that I stay in 2nd floor of the building, which even my folks didn't know. Suddenly he said " How quick can you move out of that house". I looked blankly towards him. He said" I don't want to scare you kid, but there is a ghost in your house and you should not go back there"

He said he cant explain everything to me, but there was suicide in that house sometime back and the tormented spirit is not able to get out of the house. Also that there is the possibility that it has possessed me once in a while.

I am a no believer but this took the bejezzes out of me. He gave me a talisman for my wrist and told me to move out the house ASAP. And I agreed.

I came back to Bangalore, and started staying with my friends. Which I knew was not for long term but since I had already planned move back to Kerala , I didn't know what to do with the 3 months I had here... Every time I visited the house something was wrong with it...

One day I went to clean the house and pack my stuff so that i can take everything home.

I got in and I remember that someone has switched off the the power supply. My fridge was home for countless maggots. All the windows were open so was the almiras and lockers . Green gram sprinkled all around the kitchen. Was it the ghost or someone was in the house ? I still dont know. I cleaned that Fridge with a friends help and we could here a knocking sound with no source. I had enough with the house. I shifted the next weekend.


After that I stayed with my friends for some days and later shifted to a paying guest accomadation.

 I still don't know what hit me. But this definitely  made me stronger, like the gurdian angel is looking over me. I still don't know the reason. Was it the ghost or was it something within me!
