A Friend So Strange
The dead don’t knock, they grin, and wait for you to follow. Every evening at six, as the sun clawed its way beneath the pines, he’d show up at my gate. A silhouette in black, his smirk glinting like a blade catching moonlight — the kind that carves itself into your nightmares.

The diary of a dead girl ! Horror story ! Daravni kahani . AI-Generated.
1. The first night When Rajveer found a house on rent in an old locality of Lucknow, he was very happy. He did not know that there was a deep story hidden behind that house. The house was very cheap but stood alone in a deserted street – completely desolate, as if no one had knocked on the door for years. The first night when he made his bed, he heard someone crying from outside the window. He thought it might be an animal. But when he listened carefully, it was the sound of a girl sobbing.

PUSAKA
A decades-old, abandoned zamindar's mansion stood in the middle of a remote village called Dhalpahar. It was known as the "Pusaka House" by the locals. The mansion was said to contain a cursed heirloom—an ancient wooden box with supernatural powers inside. Rupom, a city student studying history, went to the village one day and became interested in the mansion. “If you awaken the Pusaka, you invite only darkness,” the village elder Panchanan warned him repeatedly. But Rupom didn’t believe in such tales. He believed that anything that truly existed ought to be discovered for the sake of history. Rupom was standing in front of the mansion that afternoon. Its bricks were crumbling, the windows covered in black cloth, as if to shield the world from what lay inside. He entered through the broken lock. As if they had held someone's blood, red stains covered the walls and dust choked the air. In one of the rooms, he found the wooden box—the Pusaka. It had an intricately carved inscription: "The soul of whoever touches me will remain here forever." “Another ghostly warning!” Rupom scoffed. and opened the box.

Episode 3: The Exchange
Midnight. The house was silent. No wind, no traffic, not even the hum of the refrigerator. Just me… and the mirror. I stood in front of it with a hammer in my hand, staring at the cracks that had spread like veins across the surface. They pulsed faintly, as if the mirror itself were breathing.

"I Found a Phone in the Woods... What I Saw Changed Everything"
It was a quiet Saturday afternoon when I decided to go for a walk in the woods near my house. I wasn’t expecting anything unusual. I wasn’t looking for adventure. I just needed to clear my head. Life had been overwhelming lately — work, relationships, the endless noise of social media. The forest was my escape, my reset button.

Whispers in the Walls. AI-Generated.
Detective Lila Harris never believed in ghosts — until the night one whispered her name. It was a quiet Thursday at the precinct. Most officers had gone home, but Lila stayed late, reviewing cold cases — especially the one she could never shake: the disappearance and murder of Emily Ward, a young woman who vanished five years ago.
