Frozen!!!

11:30 pm – Outside

It was quite difficult to get appointment from her. She is an excellent communicator. Her interactions are usually with duppies. People call them as spirits, ghosts or soul.

Who am I?

I love to find truth and create awareness to the society. These qualities made me one of the exceptional journalists.

11:45 pm – At the door of a house

I am appreciated for my bold and adventurous nature but I was nervous. I made myself comfortable and tried to press the bell.

“IT’S OPEN. COME IN”. I heard a sharp, commanding voice which startled me a bit. I obeyed that voice without any hesitation.

11:47 pm – Inside house

“Greetings Dr.Neha” I started my interview.

She replied with her beautiful but intrigued smile.

She was in her thirties with stylish look. I could sense something different in that house. I could feel something odd but I ignored my instinct.

“I use advanced scientific devices to communicate with the spirits. I am the only person who made the statement that I can prove the existence of ghosts. That is the reason I am unique” She said.

Her eyes conveyed more message than her words.

She dramatically started explaining about her experiments and experiences.

I am more comfortable in thumb typing than traditional writing so I came-up with a smart phone with excellent key-board set-up attached.

“I can prove the existence of ghosts. They don’t have tangible shapes but they create their images based on the thought process of human-beings. If you are optimist, they will respond positively and create pleasant shapes. If you are slightly negative, they will take their shapes accordingly” She said.

I giggled.

“I want you to experience so that you believe completely” She said firmly.

I think she could find my uncertainty through my body language.

“This is pendulum which will indicate the presence and severity of ghosts” She started showing her equipment to attract ghosts.

“Ambience is important to attract them. We should set the temperature of 13 degree centigrade. This is a special room spray which will help to attract them. There is a level of measurement to spray. This is a radar to help you to navigate the direction of them. This is a frequency meter. We should set an infrasonic signal of 13.3 Hz. You should wear this blazer which has a special colour. They can accept only this colour. This is a special syringe which will take a certain amount of blood from the bottom of spinal cord - lumbar vertebrae. They love that part of the blood to taste.” She explained with lot of passion and fire.

I literally involved in the conversation. I have got 13 missed calls which my friend tried talking to me but I didn’t attend. I didn’t want to break the flow. I kept moving forward and sat at the edge of the seat which showed my interest. She could find and kept on explaining about the ghosts and the strategies to control them.

“On one condition, it may become extremely disastrous. If there is any slight change in the measurements, the severity would be more. We should be meticulous enough to set the numbers. After we set, If there is any change, we cannot control” She said in a slightly low but firm tone.

My hands started shivering. I couldn’t type but I tried to hide my fear.

“Are you ready for the experience?” She asked me with great passion.

"Sure” I replied.

She made me to set all the measurements. I set room temperature, frequency and wore blazer. I had the pendulum in my right hand and placed the radar. She took blood from my body and placed it on the table.

I should make a call to my friend. He had been trying for a long-time. Give me 2 minutes” I asked her.

She nodded and smiled. I turned and moved some distance from her to make a call.

12:59 am – Over the phone

“Dr.Neha is dead. It was completely mysterious. Don’t go” My acquaintance as well as my friend warned me with his broken tone.

This conversation happened for 47 seconds. I couldn’t say anything.

With my shivering hands and chill feeling in my head, I turned the side where she was there.

There was nobody. The room filled with complete strange silence. Those 13 seconds, I could connect some facts.

I have 13 seconds left to say or do something.

Frequency measurement is set at 13.3 hz.

Room temperature is 13 degree centigrade.

The time is going to be 1:00 am, that is 13:00.

The entire room is filled with a smell from the spray bottle.

The amount of blood in the bottle started reducing.

I am wearing the blazer which she gave.

01:00 am – Inside House

The pendulum starts moving vigorously, which is in my right hand. I am nervous and some-how I move near the table.

SPLASH!! The perfume bottle falls down.

All of a sudden, I could remember her words.

“On one condition, it may become extremely disastrous. If there is any slight change in the measurements, the severity would be more. We should be meticulous enough to set the numbers. After we set, If there is any change, we cannot control”

The smell starts spreading throughout the room. The radar is showing the direction where I am standing exactly. My body is becoming cold. My breathe is becoming faster. I can sense something huge is coming towards me. I … I ….

FROZEN!!!
