Some houses are old, some are empty, and some leave you with memories you cannot explain even years later. My husband still remembers a house his family rented during his childhood. What happened there frightened his parents so much that they eventually decided to leave.
His family had five children: three boys and two girls. They rented an old house that had already been built. It had two rooms, a veranda at the front, and a courtyard with a kitchen and bathroom. A staircase in the courtyard led to the roof.
When the family first moved in, the house was dirty and needed cleaning. They cleaned it, made it ready to live in, and settled down. At first, everything seemed normal.
Then, strange things began happening.
One morning, the family discovered that the eldest brother’s shoes were missing. They searched around the house but could not find them. Later, their mother discovered the shoes on top of a cupboard. Nobody could explain how they had ended up there.
After that, other things started disappearing. Sometimes small belongings went missing, and sometimes money could not be found where it had been kept. The family began wondering whether someone might be entering the house from the roof.
To prevent anyone from coming in that way, they installed a door between the staircase and the roof. They hoped the problem would stop, but the strange incidents continued.
One night, my husband’s father was lying on his charpai when he felt it shaking. He thought perhaps one of the children was playing nearby. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself on the floor. All the children were asleep. He could not understand what had happened. He wondered whether he had been dreaming, so he tried to put the incident out of his mind.
Another frightening incident happened when the children were at school. Their mother was inside the house when she heard laughter coming from another room. She became frightened and went to sit in the courtyard. She did not tell the children what she had heard because she did not want to scare them.
Later, she told her husband about it. After listening to everything that had happened, he suggested that they seek advice from a religious scholar.
But one night, something happened that made the situation even more disturbing for the parents.
They had left the children at home and locked the door from the outside. When they returned around midnight, they were standing outside the house when they thought they could see child-like figures on the roof, standing and talking.
Their mother was alarmed. She had not allowed the children to go onto the roof, so why did it look as though children were standing there?The parents quickly went inside to check. To their surprise, all the children were asleep. When asked about it, the children said they had watched television and then fallen asleep. They insisted that they had not gone onto the roof.
The parents were deeply disturbed. They could not understand what they had seen from outside or how to explain the other incidents that had happened in the house.
Eventually, they contacted a molvi, a religious scholar, and asked him to visit. He recited prayers and, according to what the family was told, believed the house had been associated with jinn for a long time and that the family was not welcome there. The family took this seriously and became even more afraid of staying.
In the end, my husband’s parents decided not to take any more chances. They rented another house and moved away.
Even today, my husband’s mother becomes frightened when she remembers what happened there.
I cannot say for certain what was behind those incidents. Perhaps there are explanations the family never discovered. But the missing belongings, the frightening experiences, and the sight that his parents believed they saw on the roof left a lasting impression on everyone.
Some memories fade with time. Others stay with a family for years, because even after leaving the place behind, the questions remain.
Have you or someone in your family ever experienced something you could never explain?
