I was along with my friends at hostel getting ready to vacate the hostel. A few of them decided to come to my home for a visit. Balan was in a plan to stay with me for a while doing a job in my hometown. We set out to my house on motorbikes. We reached home by evening, the sky was pink. We stayed at my room for sometime and then we visited my neighbor who was a weird saint. I returned to my room soon. But my friends kept on listening to the weirdo. I was in my room. I heard somebody calling me. I came out and looked. It was already dark and raining. Nithin was the one who called me. He was soaking wet. I called him inside and gave him some dry clothes for changing. I returned to my room and started watching some videos in my phone. I was watching some show hosted by a white lady, who was describing some strange phenomenon. She was talking about a dark force. When we think about it would came to us the next moment. It looks like a shadow. And it freezes our limbs. The lady was frightened while describing this and seemed like this shadow approched her and she was struggling to move. The very next moment, I saw some shadows in my room and found my hands and legs frozen. It scared the shit out of me and I was struggling like I was put into a boiling pot . Meanwhile the lady in the video kept on struggling and describing. She quoted this phenomenon as 'VIOLENCE' for some reason. I somehow managed to get up and opened the door. It was midnight. I realized that my friends were sleeping at the saint's house. I heard the saint's voice from the dark - " They are my guests now. I have to treat them more special than you do". An image of the saint came to my imagination while he was saying it. I felt uncomfortable , so I slam shut my door and returned back to my bed. There in the video the lady was concluding her video. She once again mentioned the VIOLENCE. All of a sudden the shadow reappeared Infront of me and froze me . I started to struggle out of fear and woke up.
