The doors opened instantly. She stepped inside and pressed G (Ground Floor). The doors closed. The lift started moving. Everything felt normal… until it suddenly stopped. Ding. The doors opened. Ananya frowned. This wasn’t the ground floor. The hallway outside was dark. Silent. Empty. She looked at the panel. There was no floor number displayed. Confused, she pressed G again. The doors closed. The lift moved… then stopped again. Ding. Same floor. Same dark hallway. Her heart started beating faster. “This isn’t right…” she whispered. Suddenly, the lift lights flickered. Her phone buzzed. A message appeared: “Don’t step out.” Her fingers trembled. “Who is this?” she whispered. No reply. The lift doors were still open. And then… She saw it. At the end of the hallway. A figure. Standing completely still. Watchi...

 At exactly 3:00 a.m., Aisha woke up to a loud sound. Thak! She sat up, confused. Her room was dark, but something felt… wrong. Then she noticed it. Her window was open. She was sure she had locked it before sleeping. A cold wind rushed inside, making the curtains move slowly. “It’s just the wind,” she whispered to herself. Trying to stay calm, she got out of bed and walked toward the window. As she reached to close it— Her phone buzzed. A message appeared: “Don’t close it.” Her hand froze in mid-air. “Who is this?” she whispered, her voice shaking. No reply.

Relieved, she quickly shut the window and locked it tightly. She turned back toward her bed— And froze. The curtains were still moving. But now… They were moving from inside the room. A soft whisper came from behind her— “You let me in.” T...

 It was past midnight when Nisha heard someone whisper her name. “Nisha…” She sat up in bed, her heart racing. The room was dark and silent. She lived alone, and no one knew she was home. She told herself it was just her imagination. After all, she often read scary stories in English before sleeping. Her mind was probably playing tricks on her. Then the voice came again. Closer. “Nisha, come here…” The sound was coming from the hallway. Her phone showed 2:33 a.m. Slowly, she stepped out of her room. The hallway lights flickered as she walked toward the darkness. “Who’s there?” she asked, her voice shaking. No answer. She turned back to return to her room— and froze. Her bedroom door was closed. She never closed it.
