Do not enter.

On August 4th of 2023, two friends decided to break into a church that had been closed down due to mysterious reasons.

The neighbors as well as people in the town who live nearby are afraid due to the strange things that were happening inside the church. The priest was transferred to another church after announcing that the church would be closed down due to unknown circumstances. The two friends were curious as to what could be the reason for closing down the church. It's been three months since the church was closed down. So one night, the two friends decided to explore the church, hoping to find something inside. Unbeknownst to them, the situation could take a negative turn for them.

The two friends made their way towards the church. One of the friends is Alen, who has a torch in his hand as a source of light and the other is Joy who has the camera and a head lamp. As both reach near the church door, Alen whispers, "It's been 3 months". Joy gazes into Alen's eyes, displaying a signal of regret but maintaining his pose.

Alen opens the door, trying to be as quiet as possible. Although the church was not abandoned for long, as he opens the door, it makes a faint creak sound which slightly startels Joy. Alen moves inside and Joy follows him. As they step inside, the first thing they notice is a painting. The painting didn't look old. It had an old shabby looking house which was in the middle of a thin forest.

They didn't pay much attention to the painting and decided to move much deeper into the church. Alen opens the second door, which leads them into the center part of the church. As they move inside, Alen says, "There's light on". "Huh" says Joy, smiling nervously. "The...uh..the lights...the", "The Everlasting Light" says Alen as Joy speaks stutteringly.

Joy continues to talk as he focuses his camera towards the red light beaming from a room far away, "It's in every church. It's always supposed to be on". Joy then focuses the camera towards Alen as he says, "It's freezing actually", exclaiming the temperature of the room.

Joy keeps panning the camera around, showing the darkness of the room. As they walk, Alen suddenly utters, "oh", causing Joy to move the camera towards the source of his expression. He directs the light towards the floor and zooms his camera, only to see the floor full of maggots.

They were all over the room, as Joy says disgustingly, "Oh my God, It smells." The room started smelling unappetizing as they started moving forward and forward. "My God! Try not to step on", says Alen as he takes the lead and opens one more door that leads them into another room. The new room didn't seem to have any maggots and with relief, Alen says, "That was disgusting". Alen starts checking his shoe base to see if he had stepped on any of those maggots. Meanwhile, Joy directs his camera towards the stairs which leads them to another floor above. "Let's go upstairs", says Alen as they start walking up the stairs.

They move around, checking each and every room for about 5-10 minutes, exploring every part of the church. After a while, they come back to the same part of the church where they found the maggots. They see the red light which they had seen earlier and move towards it. As they stand by the light, they hear faint whispering. Joy turns the camera back and forth of the room to check if anyone is present in the room with them. Unfortunately, he sees no one, other than his friend Alen.

Joy moves the camera towards Alen, as he steps forward towards the source of the whispering. They see a dark pink curtain, which separates the room they are in into another room.

Alen suddenly drags the curtain. To their surprise, it was a room with toys for kids. The room had a wooden piano, next to it was a small sized pink-white playhouse with a pink door, a board that says "Church Daycare" and a box full of toys.

As Joy explores the room with the camera, with a startled voice he says, "I heard something". Alen starts searching through the toys in the room, as he tries to fit inside the tiny playhouse, to find something at all inside it. Joy continues to show the camera around the room which has many toys, scattered here and there.

Not long after that, they come out of the room and Alen says, "I don't know" with a disappointed face, as he finds nothing. The biggest mistake they made was to enter the church in the first place, even after they were aware of the circumstances. They planned on leaving after finding nothing. So Joy panned the camera to the playroom they had just been inside and showed the pink-white house.

The pink door suddenly closes on its own with a strong force. In a mode of panic, Joy and Alen rushes towards the exit door to get out of the church. They wanted to run out of that place as soon as possible.

The video captured by Joy had recorded the whispers which were heard before they entered the playroom. The voices heard were considered to be the kids playing and people praying.
