Incredulous (Part- 2)
After that, I heard no sound of the footsteps. So, I thought to close my door. Hardly had I came down from my bed, somebody grabbed my right ankle. To my horror, the hand was totally burnt and it had big nails which started scratching my ankle. Somehow, I managed to get rid off it. I get out from my room and locked it from outside.

Then I went downstairs and ran towards the main door to escape myself from that thing. The rain had just stopped. So, I attempt to open the door but it was not opening. I felt that somebody had locked the door from outside. I realised that it would be locked by that mysterious thing. My parents didn't locked it because before leaving they told me to locked the door from inside. Suddenly, my phone's battery died and there was no current to feed it. I fell into a critical situation. Neither I can call my parents nor police for help.

Then I tiptoed into my parent's room in an attempt to hid myself from that creepy thing. Due to my torch's dim light, I collide with a table and hurt my leg. I then threw my torch's light and saw that I had broken the radio of my grand-father which my dad used to take good care of. I felt gloomy as I had broken my dad's precious thing. But, it was not the exact time to regret about it. I found two batteries which was present inside the radio. I knew that those batteries were new. So, I picked it up and put it into my torch. As I threw the torch light, I saw a woman in black gown. To my horror, the face of the woman was totally burnt.

Seeing her, I ran upstairs and went to my balcony. I was astonished at what I saw. Because I saw that all the street lights were on. Also one of my neighbour's light was also on.

"How is it possible?" I asked myself.

Because in my house current till not came. Then I realised that it had been done by that ghost. Then I threw my torch's light towards my neighbour's house so that anyone could notice and help me.

Unfortunately no one could notice me due to my ill-fate. The light of my neighbour's house was put off. Suddenly, a spooky thing happened on me. A rope came and automatically tied my both ankles and started pulling me. I fell down. After struggling for a long time, I rescued myself from that rope.

Then I hid myself under a table. I saw that the ghost was searching hither and thither with a knife to kill me. So, I became dumb as a statue. As her long hair was down to knees, I became puzzled. I thought that the ghost was going away from me. But, I was wrong. She came towards me and rotated her neck to the back. That time I failed to rescue myself. So, she caught me and didn't let me go. Before she could stabbed me with her knife, I saw a woman who fell some holy water on that ghost.
