The Mysterious Events in the Village
Ratnapur village was known for its peace and beauty, but for the past few months, strange events were taking place. At the center of the village stood an old water tank, which the villagers had used for years. However, those who went to fetch water from the tank mysteriously disappeared.
The villagers, terrified, began avoiding the tank. At night, eerie sounds echoed around the tank, as if someone was calling for water. The elders of the village believed that the tank had become cursed.
Elderly Villager: “This tank is haunted now. Whoever goes to fetch water from it, never returns.”
The First Glimpse of the Witch
One day, a brave young man named Rohit shared these stories with his friend Raman. Raman didn’t believe in such superstitions and decided to prove that all these stories were false by fetching water from the tank himself.
Raman, along with his friends Seema, Anshu, and Neha, headed towards the water tank. As they approached the tank, they felt a strange chill in the air. The atmosphere around the tank was eerie, as if an invisible force was watching them.
Neha: “Something is not right here. I have a bad feeling about this place.”
As Raman lowered the bucket into the tank, a cold gust of wind blew, and suddenly, a slow, terrifying voice was heard.
Witch (in a slow and creepy voice): “Why have you come here? Don’t you know this place is cursed?”
The four friends were startled and looked at each other in confusion. They tried to figure out the source of the voice, but no one was visible.
Raman: “Whose voice was that? Did you all hear it?”
Seema (trembling): “Yes, I heard it. It came from the tank!”
The Witch’s Warning
Ignoring his fear, Raman continued to lower the bucket into the water. As he pulled it up, the water in the tank stirred, and the voice echoed again.
Witch: “You cannot take this water. Leave this place, or your lives will be in danger.”
Anshu: “This isn’t a joke! We should leave.”
But Raman said, “It’s just our imagination. We’re fine.”
The witch’s voice grew louder, “I said, leave this place! You are standing on the place of my death.”
Suddenly, a wave of water rose from the tank, and the bucket slipped from Raman’s hands. A shadow appeared in the water, sending chills down their spines. The shadow slowly took the form of a woman, with disheveled hair and glowing red eyes.
Witch (now appearing): “Leave now, or you will meet the same fate as me!”
The Witch’s Secret
The horrifying appearance of the witch left the friends frozen in fear. They began to back away, but the witch used her magic to trap them.
Neha (shivering): “What… what is happening? Who is she?”
Witch: “I am the guardian of this tank, where my soul is trapped. You cannot escape from here.”
Raman gathered his courage and said, “We will leave. Let us go!”
Witch (laughing): “It’s too late. You will all stay with me now.”
The witch raised her hands in the air, surrounding the friends with her magic. The air around the tank became heavy, and terrifying screams echoed from it.
Witch: “This is my domain, and you will never leave.”
The Witch’s History
Raman questioned the witch, “Who are you, and why are you trapping us?”
The witch angrily replied, “I am Radhika. The villagers accused me of false crimes and drowned me in this tank. Now, my soul is trapped here, and whoever uses this water, I pull them into my world.”
Seema (terrified): “This is horrifying! What should we do?”
Witch (laughing): “There’s nothing you can do now. This tank is mine, and whoever touches it becomes a victim of my death.”
Anshu (panicking): “We have to find a way out of here.”
But the witch scared them even more, “There is no way out. You will stay with me forever.”
The Witch’s Game
The witch intensified her game, casting a magical barrier around the tank, blocking any escape.
Anshu: “This magic will trap us here! We have to do something!”
Witch (laughing): “You are caught in my web. No one can save you now.”
Raman noticed that the water in the tank was slowly turning into blood, and strange sounds were emanating from it.
Raman: “We need to do something, or we will all die!”
But the witch thwarted all their efforts.
Witch: “You are trapped with me. This water will never let you go.”
The Witch’s Terror Intensifies
The witch escalated her terror. She made the water in the tank boil, turning it into hot lava.
Neha: “The water… it’s boiling now! We have to act fast!”
Witch (with a sinister laugh): “You cannot leave. This tank is your end.”
Raman made one last attempt, “Tell us how we can bring peace to your soul?”
The witch paused for a moment and said, “If you want to bring peace to my soul, you must find the person who killed me. Call his name here at the tank, and only then will I leave.”
The Witch’s Final Decision
The four friends decided to find the person responsible for Radhika’s death. They talked to the village elders and finally learned the name of the person.
Raman: “We know who killed you. Now your soul can find peace.”
Witch: “If you can call him to this tank, I will let you go.”
The friends did as the witch instructed and called the person’s name. As soon as the name was spoken, the water in the tank began boiling again, and the witch’s soul reached the person responsible.
Witch (in a peaceful voice): “Now I am leaving. Your efforts have given me peace.”
Peace Returns to the Village
After the witch’s soul found peace, all the haunted activities around the tank ceased. The village returned to its peaceful state, and people began using the tank again.
Elder: “You have saved the village from a terrible curse.”
The four friends breathed a sigh of relief, realizing they had solved a terrifying mystery.
Raman: “It was a horrifying experience, but we faced it together. Now, no one needs to fear this tank.”
Terror Returns
The night passed, and the day dawned, but the fear still lingered in the friends’ hearts. Although the witch’s soul had found peace, what they had seen and experienced was impossible to forget. They believed everything had ended, but the truth was, the tank still harbored its dark secrets.
A week later, another young man from the village dared to fetch water from the same tank. As he lowered the bucket, a loud scream echoed, and the same terrifying shadow appeared.
Witch (in a terrifying voice): “I am back! No one can take water from this tank!”
The young man’s screams echoed through the village, but by the time the villagers arrived, it was too late. The witch’s spirit had reawakened, and she had trapped him in her web.
The End of the Haunted Tank
The villagers were now completely terrified. They realized the only way to get rid of the tank was to close it forever.
Elder: “This tank is no longer of any use. We must fill it with earth and close it forever, so no one can ever touch it again.”
The villagers worked together to fill the tank with soil and placed a large stone on top of it, ensuring no one could ever open it again.
Raman: “Now, the tank is no longer a threat. We must all stay away from it.”
The Witch’s End
After closing the tank, peace returned to the village. But some believed that the witch’s spirit was still wandering somewhere and that she might return one day.
The villagers never forgot the incident and made sure no one went near the tank. The tank still stood in the middle of the village, but now it was filled with earth and stones, and the villagers feared going near it.
Elder: “This tank is no longer cursed, but we must never disturb it.”
The witch’s story became a terrifying tale in the village, and people still feared passing by the tank at night.
