It has been said that the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Trust me my story is way more real than reality. I was kind of a guy who never believed in God or ghost. I was atheist But that one incident changed my view of God I stared believe in Super power. I was living in Pune hostel and studying engineering. My friends used to have God’s photos in our room and I absolutely hated it. They do pooja when exam is near but I always depend on my wisdom and hard work. So my exam was near and-one night i was reading in my room and suddenly my friend came in and started doing pooja with loud music. I was furious yet calmed my self and thought he ll finish in 10 min so I waited for 10 min . Nearly after 10 minutes i asked him that what time he ll finish all this? He said i am doing it for 3 hours so that i can pass my exam.
"can’t you see i am reading and within two weeks time we have exam. i am reading here and your loud noice is disturbing me." i said it very loudly.
"can"t you see i am doing something important?" kevel replied.
" oh yes i can see that you are wasting your time by doing this stupid pooja things instead you should start reading." i replied.
"i don't have time for argument please leave me alone and go out and read there. i have to do this pooja for two more night and i will pass this exam that's what my pandtji told me." kevel said.
"Are you insane? no one can pass the exam without reading or without hard work. and where should i go it's raining outside. there is no place i can go out and read. you must stop here otherwise i will ask hostel supervisor to stop you. " and after that i said lots of bad words to him.
he was very hurt and asked me that why i don"t believe in GOD or Godesses?
" because i never feel them or i never saw them. and the things i don't feel or see with my naked eyes i don't believe." i said.
"oh is that so? will you accept my challenge? if you are that brave and don't need GOD in your life prove yourself." kevel said angrily.
"yes tell me what is it i am accepting your challenge." i almost screamed at him.
"okay you know there is this haunted hotel near that lake? lake palace? which is almost closed for 9 years now."
"yes so what should i do?"
" okay so game is very simple this hotel has 30 floors so what you do is we ll go there
around 3 am in the morning and you go inside and go to each floor and wave to us you finish this and come back to us we ll wait for you outside." he said.
" ha ha ha seriously? this is so simple man I have been there so many times with my gf. this is something very simple task give me some more challenges like go to graveyard or go to haunted hospital." i laughed and answered.
" yes definitely we ll do other tasks but first you finish this." he said.
" yes i am in let"s do it tonight." i said.
" okay done then we ll go there at 3 am tonight." he said.
" Are you guys out of your minds? this is insane stop it here and kevel you know how scary and haunted that hotel lakeside is please if he is stubborn at least you understand why do you want to do this?" my other friend maulik said.
" No no tonight i just want to prove that there is GOD and if Good things here BAD is also present. let"s see if GOD is here and Raj will believe in him and ask for help GOD will show him way out and GOD will definitely help him." kevel said.
" It"s okay Maulik let it be . let me prove myself." i said.
" No Raj plese understand this is not some exam that you read and pass this is some paranormal thing and i have heard that whoever enters in this hotel will never come out. so many people are missing i don't want to loose a good friend like you." Maulik's voice sounds like he was crying.
" No Maulik please let me prove myself if i will not do this i will decend into my own eyes. i can never forgive myself." i siad.
" oaky Raj but i am warning you this is not something you can take lighly. if you feel like you stuck somewhere have a look at this book this is hanuman challisha you memorise it i am sure you will need this tonight." kevel said.
" ha ha ha i don't need this. and i am ready for it okay let"s go to sleep now we ll have to wake up at 2:30 am tonight so by
3 am we ll reach there." and gave that book back to him." and i went to bed and set alarm for
2:30 am.
okay so
around 2:50 am we reached at that spot. keval said ,"okay buddy now you go inside and there are 30 floors so you go on each floor and by staircase becase i don"t think so elevator would be in working condition. so you go on each floor and flash your light i am sure your mobile has flash light.and as soon as you finish just come back here we are waiting for you here."
"plese raj don"t go let's go back to hostel this is not safe please guys listen to me." Maulik said.
"don't worry buddy i will okay and there is ghost inside i ll grab him from his ears and bring it here.ha ha ha ..." i laughed and i went near the front door. I looked at that so called haunted hotel it wasn"t scary at al. it looked normal as other hotels.it has beautiful exterior and marvelous sculptures near front entry door. it was so clean and doesn't look like that it is closed for so many years. I was not sure weather the door is open or not so pushed it really hard and within no time door opens and i enter in the hotel. hotel has so many glass windows so i went near the one from where i can see my friends.
i can see that my friends have set on the bike i can clearly see them. I turned the mobile flash light on and wave it to them. they also vawed back to me. now it is confirmed that they can see me i started climbing stairs. i have noticed that old brass plaques (door plates) displaying the foor numbers. 1.....2.....3..........4.......5.......6..... i am on 6 the floor and i came near to window and flash my light and my friends vawe back. as i am moving upward i felt tiredness but so far, no ghosts, no cannibles, no demons. i can"t tell how happy i was when i reached 10th floor. .... now 11 th floor.... now 12th floor... now 13th floor..... i am joyfully counting the floors when i am moving upwards. now 13th floor.....one floor up.... now 13 th floor....... one more floor up now 13 th floor.... one minute what is happening by now i should be at 15 th floor. what happened ? i went down one floor and check the brass number plate it shows 13 th floor. i went down one more floor and checked brass sign again and it is 13 th floor. what? really?
i went near the glass window and cheked for my friends they were there. waved at them they waved back. i went dowm one more floor and vawed at them and again they waved back to me. i checked the number plate again and it shows 13 th floor. really? what is happening with me? oh it's just my mind playing with me may be deep down I am scared and my brain is playing with me. so i mustered all my courage and started moving up. i thought may be i am tired that"s why so i drink water from my water bottle. i always carry my water bottle. and one floor up.... 13 the floor.... one more floor up... 13 th floor..... one more floor up... 13 th floor. now i am scared something is fishy here. every floor is 13 th floor. no matter if i go up or down i can see barss sign displaying 13 th floor. i hurridly took my phone out and dialed my friend's number. but i was so unlucky there is no network so i went near that glass window and stared screaming,"help help help me i am stuck here. but in my surprise they waved back to me. i think they have no idea that i am stuck here. i was looking for main door from where i came in here but i can"t find it. every floor is 13 th floor. i was running here and there looking for way to go out but i couln't find anything. so i set there and started crying. suddenly i saw a chair near me i thought let me break this glass window and after that if i scream for help my friends can here me out. so i grabbed that chair and smashed it in the glass window . but i stared there with a bewildered expression because window was like as is. not a single scratch you can see on that window the glass looks like unbreakable. so again i smashed the chair in the glass window no.... no.. nothing happend. now i feel that cold indside my body. and suddnly i here footsteps like someone is walking down.I quickly hid behind the sofa.
