My Friend From the Other World

Some of the things we experience and we cannot explain scare us. However,
it doesn't always have to work out that way. What if the entity that
has been following you around is trying to befriend you. My name is Edward
and here is Monica's true scary story. It happened almost twenty two years ago.
I was eighteen at the time, just finished my high school, was
on holidays. I'm not really very outgoing person, very introwared. Decided to
stay home instead of going out with friends or doing something focus on myself.
So I started studying with geology, different religion, just to understand myself and
my existent more parents in those days, they just got a really good deal
and bought a huge home at a very low price. I have two younger
brothers. All three of us are like, oh my god, we're going
to have our own bedrooms and now the huge backyard and just beautiful grace.
We didn't really ask around about the house mut but we were thinking, oh,
maybe it's just a luck. We found something really good that the low
price. The owners needed to go overseas or something, so they just wanted
to sell. Didn't really think much of it when we got the house.
My mom got a little suspicious. On the day of pendover. So my
mom got suspicious because the lady who handed over the keys to us, the
owner of the house, the previous owner. She told my mom that this
house is yours now and everything in it is yours, not mine. So
my mom got suspicious thinking that houstin come furnished, so why did she make
that comment. But my dad was just don't worry about it, and you
think too much into it. Now. We shrugged it off. We hardly
got settled in the house. Maybe a week or two. My younger brothers
started saying thing like double off. Family members walking past and then go out
of the room and Mom is there in the kitchen and MoMA, I just
saw you going the other side. She goes, Now, I'm being cooking
here all day. We didn't take it seriously, maybe just the imagination or
something. Then my Auntie used to come to visit us. Our people come
to visit us, and whenever they come to my bedroom, they go sometimes
they can smell a horrible smell and they go like, there's something in the
room. There's something in the room. We look around, we check nothing,
strong smell's gone within a few minutes. Then sometimes they used to come.
They go, oh, my god, from on a costume, there's
such a beautiful thregnents coming out. Did you use a patium or something.
No, nothing like that. They come around, have a look. Within
a few minutes, all those things just disappears. The thing is that I
never smelled anything in the room. Yees. Sometimes in the middle of the
night, I could hear the water running. I had an attached bath in
my bedroom, and I go inside. No one's there. As soon as
I switch on the light, nothing's there. So this was something very regular.
Similar time before dawn, I hear the water running, and that's how
I used to wake up. I never found anything. It's like more that
we weren't taking it seriously. My brother one night woke up and he said
that I saw dead bodies on the floor, lots of people dead on the
floor, and he got really freaked out. He got so freaked out that
even till now, till today, he sleeps a little bit tilted, as
if he's sitting down. He's not sleeping. He feels if I'm going to
fall asleep, those things will appear again. He didn't use to tell us
much, but I think he had more scary experiences than anyone else in the
house. One day he saw a family a very weird looking people in the
corner of the house, and he said that there were a couple of kids
and one adult, and he started staring at them, and the adult person
looked back at him. My brother got so scared he ran to my mom
and he taught a silva and he was in very high siba for three or
four days. He couldn't shug it off. He said, they want human
looking like they were more mixed of more like monkeys and human gorillas, but
they were very weird looking and their eyes looked very red. He really sayed
out. But he's a kind of a kid. He didn't used to talk
too much, like very quiet. And I never saw anything scary in that
house or felt just one day. My grandma used to come and visit us,
and she was a very old lady. I think she was in her
late seventies or eighties that time. Her hearing was very bad. She couldn't
walk properly. So when she used to come, my mom always wanted one
person to accompany. Yeah, Like she used to stay in my room,
so that I can watch over her help her house. She used to tell
us that whenever I watch TV, there are kids. Maybe your little kids
come around. They run, they make noise, they call her, and
then she looks they run away. My brothers weren't like they were very quiet,
very good kid discipline. But my grandmother was very persistent that the kids
don't let her sleep or watch TV. They make too much noise. They
are teasing her. We thought that she's an old lady, she's just imagining
thing. Nothing that could happen. We have. That night, my grandma
was staying over and I moved my bed a little bit away because I used
to read at night time. But I had this little light and Grandma didn't
like for me to turn on the light. I moved my bed away from
her on the other end of the room, and I think I was reading
and shallow sleep. Now I have a habit of falling asleep but half eyes
open, so I feel like I was asleep, but more in that sleep
paralysis that I could see what's going on. And suddenly I started seeing like
a corridor and people are walking past, and it was just a very distant
scene, didn't seem like nighttime. There was noise there, a people walking
past, and suddenly one girl I remember it moths ago. She came stood
behind my bed where I can't see her face, but I still remember her
face. She was not very tall, a little bit shabby, long coming
here, and she was talking to me, and I was talking to her,
but I wasn't moving. I feel like my body was completely so and
she just said that did I ever bother you? And I said no,
And she said, but you are bothering me. I was like, but
I didn't do anything. She said, you are in my way? Can
you please get up and move? And I said, yeah, I'm sorry.
I just apologized. I said, yeah, I'm sorry. She was
and scary or any And once I apologized and I said yeah, I came
back to my sense worth like I was awake, properly foolish, and I
remembered everything. That scene disappeared in front of you, that people were walking
past and talking, more like a market scene. For some reason, I
wasn't really scared. I got up. I pushed my bed, which woke
up my grandma. She wasn't happy about it. I pushed my bed to
its original spot, went back to sleep. Never thowt that girl again never
had any issue of the adia. That was an interesting episode because this happened,
and I had quite a few things happened in the house where my mom
got scared few time. But my family didn't want us to be scared,
so they never shared much. But we know that mom and dad are talking
about it and something's going on. Finally they decided to sell them. Because
I'm from a very old fashioned family, so my family organized arranged my marriage
and I got married within six months from the same house, and after that
they sold the house and moved away. Now when I got married, I
moved with my in laws, so that's the cultural thing. I had to
live with my in laws, my husband. We had a bedroom one lower
flow and not my mother in law, father in law, brother in laws.
They to live on me up the side of the house. Within I
think two months of me getting married, my husband started seeing someone ex husband.
He used to say, looks just like me. My height, long,
curny hairs like me. And he said, I think it was around
nine pm at night. I was taking shower in the bathroom and he was
in the bed watching TV. And according to him, I came out of
the bathroom and started going towards the door of my bedroom. So he called
out, and he said, as soon as he called out and looked at
me properly, I disappeared through the door. So he got freaked out.
He started yelling my name, and I answered from my bart coming and give
me a minute. Coming, And he came, and he was really confused
because I just saw you. I saw you going out, and when I
called your name, you disappeared through the door. How is that possible?
I was like, nah, nothing, Maybe you're sleepy or something. He
doubted himself. Isn't maybe, But I'm pretty much sure I saw something.
I said, Now I don't think so, I'm still here. I just
finished taking sharp I was about to come out. This happened two three times
more where he was one hundred percent sure he saw someone just like me,
but that person just disappeared through the walls and not be freaked out. So
he spoke to his mom. When my mother in law came, she looked
around the house. She looked around their bedrooms. Even though we were in
a joint family system, the house was pretty big and we had a section
of the house to ourselves. The two bedrooms we had on our side of
the house attached bar the little kitchen. So my mother in law decided to
get a medium. Monica's mother in law brings along a medium who has his
own opinions on what this entity could be, and begins to have a family
perform rituals. The rest of Monica's story is coming up. Right after this
stay with us got a medium, the guy came, walked around my side
of the house. He goes, there is a presence, but that presence
is female and she is attached to Monica. So they all freaked out.
They were like, you are haunted, something wrong with you? Oh my
god, what'd be going to do about it? So that guy didn't really
make connection with that female, but that's the information he gave us. Then
they contacted the priest. Somebody came. They blessed the house. They told
us to make some donations and some sacrifices, and they asked us to do
funny stuff, which to me, it didn't seem like blessing the house or
something they asked us to. He blessed the little dagger and he said,
oh, you got a dig and put it bury it in the backyard of
the house and it's the weird thing. He made my in laws to They
did everything, but my ex husband still seeing that girl around in the house,
walking past sometimes he according to him, he goes into meet Perilysis and
that lady just come and watch him sleeping. That he could see that she
is very close watching him, but he can't move. But she never did
anything bad to him unless couple of times, and said, he and me,
it was an arranged marriage. We didn't know each other much, so
it was very normal to have arguments, and not three big arguments, but
that you both of us won't agree on something, try to make each other
under said. I don't get into yelling or into deep arguments. Okay,
you don't want to understand me. That's why I'm not gonna argue. And
I just wait. I do feel upset and stay upset for a day,
but next day when I wake up, I forget it happens. This time
I got upset with my ex and it was a heated argument, and then
I was like, fine, I'm not gonna get into it. He was
keep mumbling, keep saying things to make me upset. You went to open
the window, and apparently we don't really understand How can that window come off
the frame and fall on his toes? He fractured his toe. We'll have
to run to the hospital, embulums everything. But it was still a mystery.
How can that window literally come off the frame and wall on him?
He was pushing the wind the side him. He wasn't pulling it towards himself.
Couldn't attend work, But anyway, it gave me a chance to look
after him and fix our relationship again. Now this is not the only incident.
It was something very obvious, so I still remember it. But I
do remember whenever I'm upset with someone, or someone make me upset for whatever
reason. After a few days, I used to get calls or those people
come apologize or being eyes or get me gifts, and I used to feel
like why it wasn't even a big deal why they were doing this. I
didn't really get to see it in person, so I never took it seriously.
My mother in law After a few years that this kept happening, I
had a son. In the first year, first year of my marriage,
my son was almost three, and my mother in law was There were a
few other people, and she was being sarcastic and telling me that how I
didn't raise my son properly, and this is how mother should do and this
is how the kid should react. All those normal politics, family politics.
And I was feeling very embarrassed because there were people around, and I was
like almost about to cry. I didn't want it to make a scene or
say anything, but I was so angry and I was about to cry,
and I was like, Okay, I'll be fine, I'll be fine,
calming myself down. It's okay, it's okay. Suddenly my mother in law
got up, walked few steps and she bombed herself. Actually, she bumped
her head somewhere and fell down. We couldn't understand. There was nothing in
the house that she could have bumped her head into. She just got up
and walked a few steps and she bumped her head into something which we still
don't know what was it. And she felt and literally her head was like
blading a little bit. And she sat down on the floor, and then
the other people who were around they helped her sit down. And we were
still trying to understand what did she bumped into. There's nothing and at your
height that goes into your head. It's the house. I think that was
the time when my mother in law thought that thing is still with Monica.
We couldn't get rid of her. So she was very suspicious that she got
the medium back in the house again and this time medium came. She told
the medium that we got the phrase. We tried to get rid of this
thing. We did this, but medium was like, nothing changed. Nothing.
I felt that's changed here. That thing is still with her. She
is living in your house. So they tried to get the medium to communicate
with that spirit and ask her how would that go away? We don't want
you here, the medium. I don't know how. We couldn't hear the
medium talking. But medium just closes his eyes and I don't know how in
his head he talks to that spirit. Are not even sure was faking it
or not. And the medium told my mother in law was there, my
husband was there, and I was there, and that medium. Now,
the medium said that the spirit is saying she came with Monica from the other
house. She likes her, she want to stay with her. She's not
gonna leave. They all got really reaped out. So how can we get
rid of her? They said, she don't want to go unless we try
to get Monica to tell her I don't want you. I want you to
leave my mother in law, my husband, they started looking at me,
and to be honest, I was like living with my in laws Alma.
My felt I didn't want her to leave. I felt like she is my
only protection. I never felt scared when she was around. I never had
any bad experience, and all the things that were happening around me always made
me feel like that's someone looking after him. Because a girl who is eighteen
nineteen years old got into an arranged marriage with a stranger, I didn't know
my ex husband. The family family, My family just thought that this is
an educated guy. They are good, rich people, they have a nice
place to live. They're gonna look after you. So this is the right
decision. You've got to get married. I wasn't really into my ex,
but I was like, Okay, my parent's not gonna make wrong choice for
me. Okay whatever. So I got married and it was more like I
was. They were all stranger to me, and he had his support,
his mom, his dead, his brother, his family. He didn't had
to leave his home, but I had to leave my parents' home and come
here. I was very insecure trying to adjust very and then this thing that
was attached to me for I don't know whatever reason. I don't remember talking
or calling spirits or playing with hi boats. However, she came to me
and I felt like she was looking after me. She of my only friend
protection in this strange house. But my ex husband and my mother in law
was like, very before soon, now you've got to tell her to leave.
This is not nice. And the medium also showed his concern saying that
she might this spirit might grow so much attachment to Monica that she might not
want her to be married to my ex and she might make them leave each
other, or this could end up into a divorce. So I was a
little bit concerned about that. Getting into an arranged marriage and then culturally divorced
wasn't something acceptable for a girl in my community. That I was like,
okay, I might have to get rid of her. So they made me
this is what you have to tell her that you don't want her around,
you don't like her being with you. She is from a different world.
You're from a different world. There is no friendship, there can be no
friendship, and just ask her to I said what they asked me to say,
and I don't know. But since then I could never feel anyone around
that. This is almost twenty three years ago. Since then, I don't
think she's around ever. I was sad about it, and I still think
was she? Where did she come from? How did she choose me to
be a friend, Why was she around me? I really wish that medium
would have communicated enough to give me some closure. Was she why she wanted
me? Or what kind of friendship was she expecting? But now I don't
think I'll ever be able to know what exact exactly what's her story? Do
