It was a rainy evening. We had our dinner and waiting for the electricity to come back. We kept discussing on few things that were happening in our lives. After a while, the electricity was back. The lights were on. Everyone went to their beds as it was getting late. I was tired as I came back to the hostel that evening from my place and decided to take a shower. I completed the same and came back to the room. Everyone was asleep with lights off. I got dressed up and was lying on the bed listening to some music. I felt sleepy, so I covered myself in sheets.
The room was quiet, as it rained in the evening; it became cold by midnight. I was in sound sleep were in the middle of the night, I felt warmness around me. I removed my sheets as it was suffocating with sweat. I went back to sleep slowly. After some time, I felt uncomfortable where I felt someone was sitting on me. I felt a lot of weight on myself. I woke up and got scared. I started yelling for help, none of my roommates reacted to me. I tried to wake my friend sleeping beside me, but my hands could not reach him. I was panicked when I realized that a fan was running straight on my bed at full speed but could not feel the air. I felt my soul got separated from my body.
I even see one of my friends waking up and drinking water. It was weird to watch that he was asleep as if nothing was happening in the room. I was afraid that I was going to die. I tried very hard to move from the bed. I prayed to forgive me for any sins that I have committed and help me. After a while, I felt relieved and was able to feel my surroundings. Things were back to normal as if nothing happened. I took a deep breath and had water. I laid back on my bed wrapped myself in sheets. I was looking all around with a sense of doubt. All of a sudden, I see a black Shadow at my door. It didn’t look like a human. It was around 5 ft and was staring at me. I was horrified to see it moving backward by closing the door of our room. The door got shut by itself. I can confirm that it was not because of any wind because our door was quite heavy to be moved by the wind.
I was awake all night and could not sleep. It was early in the morning. I decided to go outside to feel some fresh air. While I was changing my shirt, I felt something on my back. I looked myself into a mirror and turned back. I was shocked to see scratches on my back. I am short of words to explain my feelings at the moment. After a while, when my roommates woke up, I asked them why they did not respond last night. They said that they did not hear me screaming. The guy who woke up last night said that I was sleeping and didn’t notice anything abnormal. I was confused and unable to join the dots. If we assume I had a bad dream, what about the scratches on my back? Even my roommates were shocked after looking at my scratches.
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?? This question left unanswered till now. Comment down what you think happened to me?

The above was a personal experience of one of my roommates during our stay in Hyderabad. I narrated the story from his point of view based on what he explained to us.
It takes a minute to follow the blog and share the same with your friends. Request you to do so before leaving. Stay tuned for Season 2 of the story “The Rise of Evil.”
