Paranormal Investigations of Abandoned Houses

 

 My name is Adil, and I’m from Bahrain. The story is from about a year or a year and a half ago. I have a fascination with adventure and exploring abandoned houses or flats. I've been on such explorations many times with my friends. This time, my brother, two cousins, and I planned to visit a private housing community.

At night, we heard that these houses had been abandoned for over 50 years. In that community, no one is allowed to enter except for those who live there, or if you have a friend or relative there. After 10 PM, no one can enter. So, we planned an alternative route. I should mention that this housing community had about 20 or more single-story houses. There was also a large church in front of these houses.

When we arrived, the area around each house was completely dark, with no lights. There were old trees and grass, and strange things spray-painted on the walls outside the houses. We were driving slowly and played some spooky music to make the atmosphere more eerie. We stopped in front of one house and decided to enter together.

The door and windows of the house were open, and some windows were broken. We entered the house. It was very dark, and we used our phone flashlights. We searched the house and jokingly called out to see if anyone was there, but nothing happened. We returned to the car and moved on.

There was another house with a large tree in front of it, and it looked very creepy. I was sitting in the front seat, and I noticed a shadow in the window of that house. I told everyone to stop because I saw something. They said it was probably my imagination, but I insisted they stop so I could check. We waited for a few minutes, saw nothing, and continued our exploration.

Later that night, I have a habit of staying up late. Everyone else was asleep, and I had a strange habit of sitting in the living room in complete darkness. Our living room had a loose tile that made noise if stepped on.

Suddenly, I felt very heavy on my back, as if someone was sitting on me. I also had a vivid dream that I remember to this day. In the dream, I was in an old wooden house with a vintage TV. The TV suddenly went off, and through the reflection, I saw a girl crying behind me. Her face was hidden. When I asked her what was wrong, she suddenly stopped crying and stood up. She became very tall, her face turned completely black, her eyes were red, and she had a big smile.

While all this was happening, I was half asleep and half awake. In the dream, I started reciting Ayat-ul-Kursi. The girl was crying loudly, and as I moved closer, I recited louder and louder. Gradually, the heaviness on me lessened, and I thanked Allah.

The next night, I was sharing a room with my brother. Suddenly, I heard a noise as if someone was scratching the wall in front of me. I quickly recorded a video and showed it to my brother in the morning. Nothing happened throughout the day. That night, before Fajr prayer, we woke up for Tahajjud prayer. My brother said he heard the Azan but wasn’t fully awake. He saw the same shadowy figure I saw in front of him. He turned on a lamp, and it disappeared.

We began reading the Quran at home, and I told a Sheikh about the incident. He said the presence was because we had disturbed a jinn by visiting that house. After that, I had another experience. One night, I felt a strong presence. Our Wi-Fi light was on, and I noticed long nails. I quickly covered myself with a blanket and recited Ayat-ul-Kursi. My brother turned on a lamp, and the presence disappeared.

Since then, it has never returned. Alhamdulillah, nothing harmful happened, but I learned a lesson.
