Why You Should Never Reply to Unknown Messages at Night – A Horror Story

 It was 12:38 AM when Neha’s phone buzzed.

She was lying in bed, scrolling aimlessly, trying to fall asleep.

A new message appeared.

Unknown Number:

“Are you awake?”

Neha frowned.

She didn’t recognize the number.

At first, she ignored it.

But a minute later, another message came.

“I can see you.”

Her fingers paused.

A strange chill ran down her spine.

She looked around her room.

Everything was normal.

Door closed. Window shut. Lights off.

“Probably a prank,” she whispered.

Still… curiosity won.

She typed back.

“Who is this?”

For a few seconds, nothing happened.

Then typing…

“Turn around.”

Neha’s breath caught.

Her heart started beating faster.

She slowly turned her head toward the dark corner of her room.

Nothing.

Just shadows.

She let out a nervous laugh.

“This is stupid…”

Her phone buzzed again.

“Not there.”

Her throat went dry.

“Look behind you.”

Her hands started shaking.

“I’m not doing this,” she muttered.

She locked her phone and tried to sleep.

But sleep didn’t come.

The silence felt heavy.

Unnatural.

Then suddenly—

Her phone screen lit up on its own.

A new message appeared.

“You didn’t look.”

Before she could react—

She felt something.

A cold breath.

Right behind her neck.

Her entire body froze.

She slowly picked up her phone.

Another message appeared.

“Now you felt me.”

Tears rolled down her eyes.

She couldn’t move.

Couldn’t scream.

The final message came.

“Next time… don’t reply.”

The next morning, Neha’s phone was found on her bed.

Her chat was still open.

But Neha…

Was gone.
