A Tale of Manipulation and Escape

By Rio Vijey Published 3 years ago 4 min read

Bianca and Maya were best friends since childhood, and even after growing up, they still kept in touch through WhatsApp. One day, while scrolling through their chat history, they stumbled upon a strange message from an unknown number. The message read, "Hello, I'm watching you."

At first, they dismissed it as a prank or a wrong number, but soon, the unknown number started sending them more messages. The messages were cryptic, and they seemed to know everything about Bianca and Maya's lives, even the things they hadn't shared with anyone.

The messages started to affect them both in different ways. Bianca became paranoid and anxious, while Maya became curious and started to believe that the messages were coming from a ghost. They tried to block the number, but the messages kept coming from different unknown numbers.

One day, the unknown number sent them a message that sent chills down their spines. The message read, "I'm not just watching you. I'm controlling you."

The message seemed to have a strange effect on both of them. They started to do things they wouldn't normally do, like skipping work, stealing, and lying. They didn't realize it at the time, but they were being manipulated by the unknown number.

As time went on, the messages became more sinister, and the unknown number started to demand that they do even worse things. They were trapped in a cycle of fear and manipulation, and they didn't know how to break free.

One day, while they were at a coffee shop, they saw a news report about a series of deaths in the city. The victims all seemed to have a strange connection: they had received messages from an unknown number, just like Bianca and Maya.

That's when they realized that they were not alone. The ghost on WhatsApp had been manipulating other people too, and it had led to their deaths. They knew they had to break free from the ghost's control before it was too late.

They decided to seek the help of a spiritualist, who they had heard could help them get rid of the ghost. The spiritualist asked them to bring their phones, and he started chanting some incantations while holding their phones.

At first, nothing happened, and they started to lose hope. But then, they heard a loud scream, and the spiritualist dropped their phones on the ground. He looked at them with a look of terror and said, "You two are in great danger. You must leave this place immediately."

They didn't understand what was happening, but they trusted the spiritualist and ran out of the house. As they were leaving, they saw the ghost materialize in front of them. It was a woman with long black hair, pale skin, and bloodshot eyes. She started to chase them, and they knew they had to run for their lives.

They ran as fast as they could, but the ghost was right behind them. They didn't know where they were going, but they kept running until they saw a church in the distance. They knew that the church was their only hope, so they ran towards it.

When they got to the church, they saw that the ghost had disappeared. They were safe, for now. They went inside the church, and the priest welcomed them. They told him everything that had happened, and he listened with a grave expression.

The priest told them that the ghost was a vengeful spirit who had died a terrible death and was now seeking revenge on those who had wronged her. He also told them that they were lucky to be alive and that they must never play with forces they couldn't comprehend.

They left the church feeling shaken but relieved that they had escaped the ghost's clutches. From that day on, they never took their online privacy lightly and always made sure to protect themselves from unknown numbers and online predators. They also made a pact to always look out for each other and to never keep secrets from one another.

Despite their terrifying experience, Bianca and Maya knew that they had come out of it stronger and more united than ever before. They learned that there were many dangers in the online world and that they must be vigilant to avoid falling prey to them.

Over time, the memory of the ghost on WhatsApp started to fade, but they never forgot the lessons they learned. They made sure to spread the word about the dangers of the internet and to encourage their friends and family to be careful online.

Years went by, and Bianca and Maya continued to live their lives, but they always had a deep respect for the spiritual world and the power it held. They never forgot the terror they felt when they encountered the ghost, and they never wanted to experience anything like it again.

In the end, their experience taught them that there were things beyond their understanding and that they must be careful not to meddle in things they couldn't comprehend. They knew that the online world was a powerful tool, but it could also be a dangerous one if not used correctly.

Bianca and Maya went on to lead successful lives, but they never forgot the lessons they learned from their encounter with the ghost on WhatsApp. They lived their lives with caution and respect, always looking out for themselves and each other.

And though they never spoke of it again, they both knew that their bond had grown stronger because of what they had gone through. They had faced the unknown together and had come out the other side, more resilient and united than ever before.
