Old Trash | horror story | creepy story

Story begins🌙📷

Reena was a 22-year-old girl who had come to her grandmother's village for some time after finishing her studies in the city. The village life was peaceful to her—no traffic, no crowds, and no internet rush. But she did not know that behind the peace of the village lay a secret that would change her life.

The grandmother was very old and had been ill for the past few months. One day she said to Reena,

"Daughter, the back room has been closed for years. Clean it a little… you never know when you will be called upstairs."

Reena hesitated a little, but agreed. After all, she wanted to help her grandmother.

The closed room and old junk📷📷

That room was right behind the house, near the sea. As soon as she opened the door, a thick layer of dust and the smell of dampness welcomed her. In the corner were broken things, rusted utensils, and a big wooden box with a thick, old lock.

As soon as she entered the room, Reena felt a strange uneasiness. As if someone was watching her. But she thought that maybe it was just her illusion.

The fault of the box📹📹

Reena swept, wiped the walls and finally her eyes fell on the box. She had just touched it when the lock opened by itself. As if someone had opened the lock from inside.

Inside the box was an old torn doll, some rotten papers, a photo album and some letters.

On one letter was written:

“Mother locked me here… but I will return. I am watching everyone.”

Reena thought it was a joke. She picked up the album, saw some photos – there was a picture of a girl who looked exactly like Reena but anger, hatred and sadness were clearly visible in her eyes.

The scary events begin😊😊

That night, Reena heard the sound of someone walking. As if someone was walking barefoot outside her room. When she looked outside the window, there was nothing.

When she woke up in the morning, the same trunk was open again. Even though she had closed it herself.

When Nani heard this, her hands started trembling. She said,

“You touched that thing… my younger sister’s soul resides in that trunk… Shanta… she was mad… dangerous… and now she has returned.”

Who was Shanta?

Nani said in a trembling voice,

“Shanta was small, but there was something strange in her since childhood. She would get angry at every little thing. One night she tried to kill the whole family. We were forced to lock her in that trunk… but she kept saying – ‘I will return… someone will be made in my place.’”

Effect of the spirit👍👍

Reena kept that photo album in her room. Then for a few days strange things started happening –

Cold wind would blow in the room even though it was hot outside

The mirror would move on its own

Reena’s mobile disappeared on its own

At night a glimpse of a girl would appear in the mirror – the same one who was in the photo

One night Reena saw in her dream that the trunk was open and someone was coming out of it. That girl said to her:

“Now it is my turn… and your place has been made.”

Nani's warning🤩🤩

Nani clearly told Reena,

"There is still time... put that album back... otherwise you will be in her place."

Reena got scared, but it was too late by then. She tried to put the things back in the trunk, but the trunk was not opening now.

Body started changing🤔🤔

Now Reena's habits started changing. She suddenly started breaking things in anger, there was a strange glow in her eyes. Some nights she did not even remember what she did.

One day Nani saw that Reena was standing in front of the mirror and someone else was visible in the mirror. She understood - now Reena has completely become "Shanta".

Towards the end👀

One morning when the family woke up, they saw that Reena was not in the house. When they reached the old room searching for her, the trunk was closed again... and this time a soft knocking sound was coming from it.
Nani understood—now Reena is inside… and the one who is visible outside is Shanta.

Last words👀

The villagers say that that room is still closed. But every night, the sound of someone singing, laughing and screaming comes from there.

Whoever opens that box… he himself goes into its captivity.

Because old junk is not just garbage… sometimes it also has souls… and if they are awakened… then they never sleep again.
