This is something eerie that happened it was something unbelievable what I saw but I’m still in doubt because lately I think I’m hallucinating or something. Anyway I saw a thing I should call it a thing I suppose because it was wearing something weird like a man in green and orange all over having a black beard and having big necklaces made of stone and pearl of different kinds. I thought as usual this is some slum on the gate asking for food or money for help.
I heard a bell and went outside to open the gate of my porch it is always kept locked because here safety is from robbers. Anyways the time was sometime when the sun was setting. I was getting ready for my evening prayer and heard the bell. It is believed in our culture that time of the evening is not good its like we believe all the paranormal stuff are in the air. I went out opened the gate I saw it was outside wearing these clothes. I asked before opening the gate what do you want he said in my own language Urdu as we speak he said daughter come out I need help here my luggage is too heavy I cant pick it up. He had some kind of a rag bag with things in it I thought he isn’t a slum but maybe a tribal man the one travels from here to there in other words a gypsy.
But anyway listening to people here in our residential area there have been many robberies as well so I was scared to open but then to I never open for anyone never specially this time of the evening but just being curious as to help it I supposed he was old so I opened and went outside. As soon as I did so he stabbed his foot on my foot and I instantly gave a cry saying hey what you doing? He said oh I’m sorry and that’s where I saw his face, it was scarred from head to chin right in the middle even the nose was slit from between. He had kind of weird eyes maybe they weren’t fully open. I was freaked out I quickly tried to pick this rag bag of his to hand him but I couldn’t lift it alone. He was as if standing there watching me try at the end after three to four times I gave up and forgetting the fear in me I got a bit angry. I said what you looking at me help me here its your luggage not mine. With that he bent down his hands were the same scarred from between that’s when my fear came back again by this time I was positive that either it is something else or maybe a thief I couldn’t decide at the same time didn’t wanted to show my fear because if I did I was sure it would try to overcome me or something maybe try to hold a gun or something because I also did think he is a gypsy or tribesman. Anyway I was scared inside.
I helped him pick up his bag and started to come inside the gate. I latched it and instantly locked it with a chain as we have one for safety. After that I calmed my nerves and went straight for prayer and while praying I heard a noise of something scratching like someone scratches wood or maybe metal. I knew in my heart that what I did I shouldn’t have done. I shouldn’t have helped the man. I shouldn’t have gone outside. If something happens or he finds that I’m alone home with my son he will try to enter. I immediately got hold of my mobile and called my husband, he said have you chained the main door? I said yes, he said ok wait I’m on my way. With that he kept the phone down and I headed towards the door to ensure its safety. I was trying to readjust the chain when the scratching noise suddenly turned into something screeching. My hair on my hands stood up I was afraid now really afraid.
I went to the window next to the main door which over looks the porch and the gate I had the porch light on which was off now I got goosebumps in my stomach but I was still not sure was it a thing or a thief but whatever. I silently prayed to God and for my husband to come. Within three to four minutes of my standing and praying I heard my husbands car on the driveway and heard him get out of the car. I hurriedly tried to unlatch everything with tears running down my face. I was openly crying I opened the main door and shouted his name saying help. I thought who ever was at the gate or door would run or would have run by now with the car drive up sound and it had there was no one. I stepped out and opened the main gate as well my husband said why you crying. I told him the whole story, that’s where I looked down where he had put his foot accidentally as he said sorry. I had forgotten about it but when I was explaining to my husband and he looked down my foot had a dark circle like thing which was, I suppose, dirt from his slippers I switched on the porch light to see it clearly it was bleeding but not very much but it was. I tried to touch it. I felt sharp pain as if my bone had been broken.
As I was inspecting the wound my husband gave a big shout saying what on earth has happened here when I looked back the main door from outside was scratched like someone who has big nails that can scrape wood which a normal man couldn’t the wood had been scratched and big nail marks were there all over the door I was scared a lot. I wasn’t sure what to have explained or what had happened, finally I went in tried to wash my wound on my foot. I put some disinfectant and came out again just to find my husband again gone, no sign of his car nothing. I latched everything up and watched television, then it was 8 but then and my son I usually put him to bed by 9 because he has to go to school. He hadn’t witnessed this episode, he was in his room doing his homework there. I was a bit glad at around 9:30 I picked him up fed him and put him to school that’s when I heard the door bell ring again at around 9:45.
This time I didn’t open the door nor the locks because if it was my husband or his second wife returning from her mothers place I would have heard the car drive in or her daughter because she is quite mischievous she calls my name saying aunty open the gate and she would bang. It was very dark outside even with the porch light on. I didn’t dare go near the door but I peeped again from the window but couldn’t see anyone because of being dark. The bell rang three to four times and everything subsided by 10:30. Everyone was home, my son fast asleep in bed that half hour I spent in anger pain depression in deciding and thinking what it was to.
When my husband returned I tried to reason out with him saying it was something else and he said it was a cat and that man maybe a slum with only my thinking because maybe I’m again psychic or mad or something. It turned out to be an hearty argument and I gave up and went to my room to sleep. But whatever it was I am still in doubt and scared for its return. I inspected the wooden scratches in the morning also no sign of blood or any kind of evidence showing a cat because cats cant go that deep their nails are not that long or neither it can be a human because the nails would brake and definitely would bleed. It cant be a wild animal either because it is not a jungle but a city. Anyway I’m scared as usual lets see I pray to God that everything goes well. Someday I’ll have the courage to see what is actually bothering me then I’ll ask it to face me. Until then hiding from reality is my escape, its better than having a nervous breakdown because my son will suffer.

Hi, Afreen, I have been wondering how things are going for you! Be careful, and keep us posted on what’s happening!
Lisa
see there is good people everywhere in this world! it doesn’t matter where you grew up or what you believe in. afreen you are one of those good people and someday i hope your husband sees you that way!! we are here for you!!:)
I agree 110%
Afreen do be careful. i agree with everyone dont open the door that time. you never know whats on the other side. i hope you are all better now.
Im saying that its cool, you guys are waaaaaaay too sensitive…
hey nice story you should leave your husband it must not be very nice for u just pack up and leave
and go where? Its a diff culture.
Hi Afreen
I just reread your story. It is weird. Most stories always impress that we should help old homeless people. It is in our upbringing to be good to others. But when you did, the guy turned out to be evilish. That is just terrible! I am sorry your goodness went against you.
Rose
Hey Afreen,
I was wondering if U had considered snooping around Ur husband’s wives room 4 anything out of the ordinary that might help U in finding out if she’s doin any voodoo or sumthn? & has Ur son still been experiencing things? I wish U guys the best & hope U find out somehow what exactly is going on…..God Bless You Guys
thats sad if it is the wife .how dare she.but if its not thats scary knowing its not who you think it is.
Your right but Anna if you don’t know what it is how can u explain it anyway?
i do not know.
Agreed.
afreenjust throw that awfull woman out shes got no right living there
She probably would hrow her out if she could, but her husband probably would not let her, and that’s a shame since it’s Afreen’s house.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
Im going to do the same now.
i agree her house but what can you do when your in her shoes.shes trying so hard probably to be nice to her and what does she get in return nothin.
please dont write stories about ghost because may be they are hurt and might hurt you in the future
im sorry but i dont get what you mean,dont right about ghosts can you explain that to me.thanks.
i hope u get it very well
i hope afreen you are doing well with eveything.im thinking about u and your son.
