Real-Life Horror: Story 1

Introduction 

Some things that we see in our own eyes, can be very unsettling. So much, that even after years, the memories do not fade away.

In this post, I will tell you a story. Actually, no, it is not a horror story, it is an incident that happened in my life in actual.

It happened when I was in class 3 or 4 (around 2003). And it happened in my primary school. I am not mentioning the name of school but it is a nice school in Kolkata. 

The place where it happened

The school is not too old bot not new either. And it was not too well-maintained. Especially the bathrooms lacked cleaning and lighting.

Anyway, it being a all-boys school, no one really cared much. Those of you who have studied in all-boys school, would know the scenario. 

It is a four-storied building and our class was in the ground floor. Our class and the bathroom were at the two extreme ends of the floor. So basically, if we had to go to the toilet, we had to cross a long corridor.

At the right side, there were other classes. And at the left side, where was an abandoned garden, which became a jungle due to lack of attention. The corridor lacked light as well. 

The incident I am going to talk about, happened in the bathroom. So I need to tell the architecture of the toilet in brief. 

After you cross the corridor, you would reach the toilet. Upon entering the toilet, there are 3 bathroom stalls in front. On the left of those, there are 2 latrines. And then again 2 more bathroom stalls. But the last two are in vertical of the other toilets. I have drawn a simple sketch here.

As you can see, the stalls 4 and 5 are in vertical with the other stalls. And as anyone enters, they won’t usually look at those last stalls. Above the stalls, there were small windows for ventilation. 

During class 3 and 4, I had morning class. I used to get up at 5 am and take a public bus or rickshaw. Usually, mother would go with me to see me safely reach the school.

The actual horror experience

Coming to the actual story, one day it was a free period and we were all playing and chatting in class. I had to take a piss and so I went to the washroom. There were no one else. And I think I chose either stall 1 or 2; and started to pee. 

Suddenly, my gaze fell on the stalls 4 and 5. And then my gaze fell on the window above those stalls. 

And…

I was stunned. 

I saw that a leg was hanging from the window.

It was a freshly cut leg, dark skinned. 

A muscular leg, as if it belonged to some pehelwan (fighter). 

And it was hanging from the window. 

I saw it for no more than 5 seconds, which felt like an eternity at that moment. I was trying to comprehend if I am seeing the correct thing.

A chilly feeling flowed down my spine. I felt so much horror that my pissing stopped. 

The only thought that was in my mind was that, I have to get out of the place. 

I removed my gaze and kept my head down. Zipped up my pants and rushed out of the bathroom. 

I kept running towards my class, not seeing back anymore. I wanted to see some humans, alive ones. There were no one in the corridor either, so I had to wait till I reached my class. I felt a bit safe among my classmates, making chaos among themselves. 

Later, I told some of my close classmates about the incident. And they were surprised as well. But no one else experienced such incident before or after me. 

My mother also knows about this, and she is a believer in supernatural things (I will tell her stories some day). So, she was rather frightened than being skeptical. 

After that, for a some period, I used to not go to the toilet alone. Though, I have went to the toilet alone after that, I could not see anything suspicious. I left the school after 2 years and after that, I haven’t visited.

I still think, what was that actually? Was I hallucinating, or did I actually see something really weird?

I will never know.
