(**its not just a make belief story, rather a true incident which happened to my father back at hostel days, he shared it with me and here is the story**)
Its a story of my hostel life.
for my further studies, I had to travel to a different place far away from my home, and obviously I had to apply for accommodation to the hostel near the college.
I was too young, probably 18 or 19 and I basically never believed in neither God nor Ghosts & paranormal stuffs.
I pursued with science stream for my further studies and It was almost my exam time, so I usually stayed up late, studying and preparing for my exams. since I was a nyctophile and found peace at night, my concentration was always at its best during late nights,
So one day, it was around 3:30 am as far as I remember,
I was reading a book on human anatomy, sitting on my bed which was located just beside the window. (made of strong wood, so the outside can not be seen without opening the window) the lights of the room were off and I was using a study Lamp.
my roommates were already fast asleep.
I grabbed a note copy to jott down some important notes.
suddenly,
there was strong banging on the window just next to me...I was astonished! and became completely mute...I was astonished with the fact that it was 3rd floor and there is no way some one can be there outside, because for a normal human there was no place to stand or climb upto the third floor from the outer side of the building, there was no window shades to support someone to stand, neither any pipes to climb, there was no apartment next to our hostel, so there was no possibility for someone to knock on my window, and also I should mention that Those strong bangs can't occur because of mere flow of wind, nor there was any possibility of any wild animals to climb such a great height without anything to grab that'll help it to climb up, .... all I can say is that, those bangs were not normal.
I was too scared to even call my friends, I felt like, if I'll make any sound then probably whatever it was, may break into the room, I was lucky because of the fact that the windows were made of woods which were extremely strong ...
one peculiar think was that, whenever I switched on the lights of the room, the bangs would immediately stop...again, When I switched the lights off the bangings would start,
I was thinking of all sorts of possibilities and was thoroughly confused.
for the first time in my life I felt so scared of something which was ... maybe paranormal...(who knows?)
After so many years, I wonder what would have happened If I had opened the window?
what was there behind the window?
