The Shadow in the Photo

The Jackson family was very excited. They had just bought a flat in the suburbs. It had three bedrooms, a spacious living room and a neat little kitchen. The family were more than glad to leave their earlier cramped quarters for the new space. The father got the new flat furnished and soon the family were ready to move into the new place. On their first day in the flat the family had a small party and clicked many pictures. One day, the elder daughter was sorting the pictures when she noticed something amiss in their family portrait. Though all of them had wide smiles plastered on their faces, there was a dark shadow in the photograph. At first she thought it could have been their own shadow or of some furniture. However, when she looked closely it looked ominous. So, she ran to show her parents the strange shadow.

The Wicked Laughter

When the parents saw the photographs, they were stunned, too. However, they didn’t want to scare their two daughters so they ignored it for the time being. “Maybe I will go and check with the photo studio about the shadow.” he said. Days passed and the father forgot about the photographs. One night, the father was not sleepy. It was Saturday the next day, so he decided to watch television. He went to the living room and switched on television. Just then, he felt a movement behind him. Thinking it was one of his daughters he turned, ready to scold her for staying up late, but there was nobody. Then, in a second, he got a big shock. The ghost of a girl stared back at him! Terrified, he ran to the bedroom calling out to his wife. All the while, he could hear the wicked laughter from the living room.

Another Experience

The father woke his wife and daughters up and told them about what he had seen. The daughters were terrified and started crying. Their mother consoled them and put them to sleep. “Tomorrow we will find out what it is that is in the living room. You are tired today. You had better go off to sleep,” she told the father. The next morning, the entire family hesitantly made their way to the living room and checked the room, but they could not find anything or anybody; nor did they hear any laughter. The family was very careful for a few days but did not see or hear anything. Finally, as weeks passed they thought the father, Mr. Jackson, must have had a nightmare. However, there was more to it! One morning, Mrs. Jackson went to the bathroom to give herself a bath. She opened the tap and had a most frightening experience.

Blood in the Bathroom

Instead of water, red liquid flowed from the tap. It definitely looked like blood. The mother started screaming till the father and two daughters came to her side. As they came in, the blood turned to water again. However, another ghastly sight awaited them. The ghost of the girl stood right before them, next to the washbasin. She was as usual laughing at them. The family then ran into a bedroom and locked themselves in. “Father, I want to get out of here,” cried the little girl. “Mother, will she harm us?” asked the elder one, crying. “Don’t worry. We will leave this flat today itself,” said the father. “Maybe that’s what she wants!” said the elder daughter. The family then packed their things and left that day itself. Even as they left the flat, they could hear the wicked laughter of the girl echoing in the empty flat.
