Horrific Hauntings : A Haunted Washroom

A survey says that an average human spends more than 182 hours on their toilets but, what if your restroom was haunted?

A Stranger Moves In

 The year was 1999 when Arun built his first house. From working in a tea stall to becoming a landlord, he had grown immensely. His new house had two floors. He resided on the first floor and rented the second floor. The second floor had 3 houses with a shared washroom. After a grand housewarming, Arun rented two of the three houses to two different families. The third house was a little bit smaller than the second one so he wanted to rent it to a bachelor.

 Soon after the housewarming, a bachelor named Mayandi approached Arun asking him to rent the third portion of the house to him. This person looked completely strange with multiple chains of beads on his neck and stained teeth. Although suspicious, Arun rented him the house as the person persistently insisted that he was a Shivite (follower of a Hindu God named Shiva). A week after he moved in, the other tenants started to complain about an eerie sound coming from Mayandi’s portion at night. Arun thought that he was worshipping Shiva all night and asked him to reduce the sound of his prayers as it disturbed the other tenants.

The Stranger Reveals his Identity

 One Night, Arun was finding it hard to sleep and he kept rolling on his bed. When the time was almost 2 a.m. he noticed that a naked man smeared with ashes walking through his gates. This Man slowly sneaked into Mayandi’s portion as Arun watched. Arun decided to confront him and as he walked towards the main door to open it, two other naked men smeared in ash walked towards his tenant’s house. Within a few minutes after these men went into Mayandi’s house, unnerving chants started to reverb inside the property. Scared of confronting this group, Arun decided to deal with it the next day.

 The very next morning, he called Mayandi and enquired about the things happening in his portion during the night. The latter said that those strangers were his friends and they were praying to Lord Shiva during the night. Arun could clearly sense that he was lying and told him, “Say the truth or vacate my house”. After beating around the bush for some time, Mayandi finally confessed that he was not a Shivite but actually a practitioner of black magic.

 In an aggressive tone, he warned Arun saying that if he questioned him again or reached out to the police, he would cast a dark spell on him. Arun says that he went speechless hearing this and felt helpless as Mayandi started doing rituals more brazenly. The other tenants eventually vacated because of the disturbance felt by the sounds from his portion and the negative energy they felt in the house. This disheartened Arun and left him worried.

A Baby Sacrifice

 One day, one of Arun’s friends came rushing to his house saying that his newborn baby was missing. He asked Arun to accompany him to the police station to lodge a complaint and literally dragged him out of the house. After taking a couple of steps, his friend stood still looking at a piece of blanket. “This is the blanket my baby was wrapped in when it went missing” he told Arun, pointing at the blanket. Upon hearing this, Arun instinctively felt that Mayandi was somehow related to it and rushed into Mayandi’s portion. When he broke into the house, he saw a baby in Mayandi’s lap with Mayandi holding a knife in his hands.

 Mayandi appeared to be in a trance state and showed superhuman strength when Arun tried to snatch away the baby. After an extreme struggle, Arun snatched the baby from him, gave the baby to his friend and asked him to reach out to the police. By now, Mayandi was out of his trance and knowing that he was caught red-handed, he ran out of the house leaving behind all his things. Arun chased him but it appeared as if he had disappeared.

 When he came back inside, he heard the sound of someone breathing heavily from the washroom. He locked the door and tried calling the police. While the phone was ringing, Mayandi started to chant spells which Arun says, hypnotized him. When he tried to open the door in a hypnotized state, his friend shook him and bought him back to his senses. He was raged by what happened and set the washroom along with Mayandi who was inside it, on fire.

The Haunting

 After a trial by the police, Arun was sentenced to 2 years in prison. The house remained uninhabited for the course of his punishment. After he was released, Arun renovated the house and decided to rent it again. During the renovation process, he demolished Mayandi’s portion completely as he felt it gave out negative energy. He rented the houses to two different families. The very next day after moving in, one of his tenants complained to him about someone constantly walking around the washroom at night. She said that she could also sense someone else’s presence while she was inside the washroom.

 Arun thought some burglar was hiding inside and went into the washroom to check it himself. When he entered, he sensed the smell of a burning body and as he stood there thinking of what had happened inside the washroom before, he sensed the breath of someone on his shoulder. He ran outside in fear and sought the help of a priest he knew. When he returned back home with the priest on his side, he saw an ambulance near his gate. When he rushed to see what had happened, he figured out that one of his tenants had slipped inside the washroom and had her skull cracked. She was bleeding profusely.

 She was admitted to a nearby hospital and when she gained back consciousness, she complained of a burnt man who hit her hard on her back which caused her to slip and fall. There was a handprint on her back which proved that she was not lying. The poor lady as Arun says, died of a heart attack the very same night. The priest blessed the house and told Arun that Mayandi’s spirit was haunting the washroom and asked him to demolish it.

 Arun obliged and contracted a builder for the task but the crew faced multiple obstacles. From machines seizing sporadically and workers dying, demolishing it was not easy. With sustained efforts, the bathroom was successfully demolished but at the cost of an amputated worker who lost one of his limbs while demolishing it and a couple of deaths. The disturbances vanished after demolition and Arun still lives in the house now.
