The Haunted Room :: Report

Recap : Two months back , courtesy to the brilliant management of his college , the boy who was once heading the queue in the morning ended up at the tail by the evening and was left with no option but to get The Haunted Room allotted to his name . An hour later , every single person was found rushing to the boy consoling him and assuring him of all the possible help they could provide ( except exchanging their room with his ) . The boy had no other option left but to wait and see what was in store for him .

Last week , after Dean did not give up calling me day after day ( he assumed that he was ringing my father’s number ) , I decided to go to the college for a week or so , to pay the fees and getting my name enrolled and not to forget , a tour to the much hyped room of mine .

A gigantic , black and rusty lock was found hanging at the door . I wondered why they need such a lock to guard an empty room , as if it was guarding the Chamber Of Secrets . After a few knocks at the warden’s room and completion of the formalities , an assistant was send with the key to open the room . My curiosity was increasing with every step I took towards the room .

Finally he opened the room . The room , as I assumed , was not empty . Not a single part of the room was empty . It resembled more like the building comprising of the eggs of “Godzilla” . Spider’s web encompassed three quarters of the room . Lizards , mosquitoes , roaches and an array of bugs were having a war for their territory . The large packages kept in the room were looking very suspicious indeed . The condition of the room was terrible and even a ghost would resist residing in such a room . After I complained to the warden that I have paid the money for a room and not for a monstrous cave , he promised to get the room renovated within a few hours .

After about three hours my room was looking a lot more human . The illegal residents of the room were sent away . The packages smuggled  somewhere else . Everything was in their place but for an extra bed . I was quite sure that this was a single seater . Then what the hell were two beds doing there ? It appeared as if the ghost had made his intentions quite clear . He was not at all interested in sharing the same bed with me and has made arrangements for himself . I didn’t had any problem with that until he poked his nose in my matter .

The first night in the room . I was hammering in a nail in the wall . Thakkk …. Thakkk …. Thakkkk …. Suddenly the fan started making an abnormal sound like it could fall down any moment . My first thought was that the ghost didn’t like the unnecessary sound I was causing and has decided to throw in a warning at me , saying ” Jeeyo or Jeene Do ” . My heart said ” Wo Aa Gaya ” while my mind was trying to look for the cause behind this . Later I found out that a polythene somehow flew got stuck in one of the blades of the fan and was the reason for this event . Except that incident , nothing paranormal happened that night .

The following days , the strength of my room increased . My friends who were still waiting for their rooms to be vacated took shelter in my room . The extra bed that the ghost has arranged for himself was captured by us . Humans are afterall more dangerous than the ghosts . 😛

The ghost must have decided to change his address as my room was turned into a common room in few days , afterall my balcony provides a perfect view of college and when its raining , the view is just amazing . In a week that I spent there , I could not detect any paranormal activity . All the rumors and warnings have gone to dust . The conclusion is that my haunted room is not haunted afterall . 😀
