Sir, all the people who have sat on this swing either committed suicide a day before or after, or their gruesome bodies were found. But how are you still alive?

I was visiting this park with Ritu 7 days ago. Ritu liked it, so I came again. But I was surprised to hear what the guard said.

-Why didn't you tell me that day?

-Sir, look, there's a sign that says it's forbidden to sit on the swing. Didn't you read the sign?

This time, the sign caught my eye. When I showed it to Ritu, she cried in fear. The guard warned me again and said,

-Sir, be careful!

Aunty, keep an eye on Sir! He doesn't even know when he will sit down.

I was going to go and listen to more details. But before that, he left at the call of one of his elders.

Ritu grabbed me and said,

-Not another moment here. Come on, let's go home.

I tried to match my one-week experience with the guard's words. Yes, a lot of things happened to me in this one week. That's called paranormal activity. I only saw the image of the swing in my dream while sleeping. But I didn't just see the swing. A woman was sitting on the swing.

Ritu grabbed me and shook me hard, and my sanity returned. I was lost in my imagination.

Ritu grabbed me by force and came.

The guard's words kept playing in my head all the way. Why do people die when they sit on that swing? Or are they killed? If they really die, then why am I alive?

How is Ritu the girl! Hearing that from the guard, she started crying and couldn't stop. I consoled her and sat her down close to me and said,

-Nothing will happen to me! Don't get tense. Otherwise, it would have been over in a few days!

-The abnormal behavior you have been showing for the past few days is now raising questions in my mind. Is this happening because of sitting on that swing?

-What did I do again! How many people wake up and walk around? Are you angry that this happened to me?

-This has happened to you in the last seven days!

Leaving Ritu, I went to the next room and locked the door. I kicked the door open for a while, but Ritu fell silent.

Every night I dreamt that I was sitting on that swing in the park. There was a girl sitting with me. I talked to the girl a lot but I didn't recognize her. The dream seemed normal when I saw it one day. But why the same dream every day?

I decided that I had to solve the problem.

While sleeping at night, I saw the window open. When I tried to close the window, I saw a little boy standing holding the window grill. He saw me and said with a smile,

-Aren't you scared when you see me?

-Who are you?

The child ran away without answering my words. Suddenly I thought, I am above the 7th floor, so how could a child come here? What is happening?

I gathered a lot of courage and looked down through the window. Even in the light of the floor below, no one could be seen. So is this my hallucination?

I closed the window and lay down on the bed. Due to the extreme tension and pressure on my body, I fell asleep very quickly. But I woke up from the previous dream. But today I realized that the girl was talking to me, the girl was telling me,

-You will meet me every day! I want you every day.

She smiled and immediately woke up.

I saw Ritu not on the bed. Thinking that she was in the bathroom, I also went to the bathroom. I saw Ritu looking in the bathroom mirror and mumbling as if she was talking to someone. Even though I called her Ritu many times, she did not look at me. I ran and pushed her and she fell unconscious on my body. I sprinkled water on Ritu's face and brought her to bed and laid her down.

The next morning I went to the park to meet the guard. As usual, I saw the guard next to the swing. He was sitting leaning on a chair. When he saw me, his eyes widened and he greeted me. I replied to his greeting and said,

-Uncle, why are you looking at me like this? It feels like you're seeing a ghost?

-I searched for whoever sat on this swing, intentionally or unintentionally, two days later. Either someone committed suicide for no reason, or their body was found.

-How did you figure it out? People die sitting here?

-When this swing was first placed here, the next day someone came and sat on it. He died a day later. His wife came and said that he was just talking about swings. From there, I got the idea and mistakenly followed the people sitting there.

The guard told me these words in a haphazard manner. Listening to the guard's words, I felt like there must be a story behind this swing. But what is that story? I thanked the guard and left. He told me to be careful from behind.

It was a little late when I returned from the office. After 8 pm, there were no vans or rickshaws available in our area. So I was walking quietly with my headphones in my ears. Suddenly, I was startled when I felt someone's hand touch my back. When I looked back, I saw a girl. I took off my headphones and said to the girl, "Is there a problem?"

-Can you give me a little push?

-I don't know you, why should I give you a push?

-A stranger girl asked you for help because she couldn't go alone!

-That's right, let's go! You and the gang that robbed her don't have anything in common, do you?

-The girl said with a shy smile,

No.

After walking along for some time, my eyes fell on the girl's feet. After observing the thing closely, my eyes became glazed. Shit, the girl's feet were upside down and the girl was floating at least half a hand above the ground. After seeing that, the girl gave a horrible smile as soon as she looked at her face.The smile that resembles the girl I saw in my dream.

I took off my headphones and started reciting Ayatul Kursi. I converted all my strength into my legs and kept running. I didn't dare to turn back. But after some time, I heard a cry. It seemed like someone was going to leave the house, but when someone else stopped them, people cried like that.

I ran to the front of the house and knocked on the door, but Ritu came and opened the door. Although the door opened in a short time, I said to Ritu out of fear,

-Does it take so long to open the door?

Ritu looked at me with a smile and said,

-You?

-Yes, I am. Move away from the door. I'm scared!

-How did you get here? Didn't you go into the bathroom a little while ago and take a shower?

-You mean?

-I mean, you came home some time ago. You didn't talk to me, you went to the bathroom in anger!

-Ritu, are you okay? I just came.

Ritu came to me in fear and hugged me.

-I'm not going to the room anymore.

I took her to the room with fear. I checked all the rooms, bathroom, kitchen, but I did not find anyone else present.

After finishing the dinner at night, I asked Ritu to go to sleep. But there was a fear in the poor girl's mind, if I did something to myself as the guard said, she would not let me stay alone.

I was forced to sit with her on the bed. When Ritu fell asleep, I turned on my laptop and went to Google to find out some detailed information about Ivana Park. After searching for some time, I found a picture of the swing. Yes, this is the swing.I was about to go inside to find out where the swing came from or why it was here, when I heard the sound of the swing swinging. The sound was coming from the other side of the window. As soon as I got out of bed and went to the window, I saw a swing swinging right in front of my window. And there was that girl sitting on the swing.The one I met tonight.

The moment my eyes met hers, the girl gave a strange smile. The smile that kept ringing in my ears.

If I called Ritu, the girl would be scared. That's why I didn't call her.I looked at my mobile phone to turn on the flash and then looked out the window again, but there was nothing outside the window. So what did I see all this time? Was it an illusion?
