Excited, John walked around the mansion to find a possible entry point. Manu was reluctant to explore, but he convinced the girls to come along so they would have someone to shoot the vlog. Anjali opened her backpack and began recording on her camera as she walked. John entered the mansion through an open window and called out for others to follow. They saw old furniture in all its glory! Dust and nature had partially overtaken the living room, but the furniture looked like it was trapped in a time capsule. John ran through the wooden stairs. He opened the door to a huge room and sat inside. His friends came running, looking for him.
Manu spoke out, “John, make sure not to run around like that. Let’s stick to moving around all together so that no one gets lost.” John opened his backpack with a wide grin and placed the Ouija board on the table. He placed the candles and asked his friends to sit around the table. Sammy stared at John in shock. Anjali said, “John, we planned to explore the entire mansion and then get out of this place, not to play Ouija board here and summon the ghosts!”
John spoke, “No, we had decided to take this challenge and spend the night at the mansion and then walk out. We need to make this night interesting. Hence, I brought a Ouija board.”
Manu, Sammy and Anjali quietly looked at each other. John spoke out after some time. “As no one seems to be interested in the Ouija board, I will play it all by myself.” “Hey, wait! I always wanted to try Ouija board,” said Anjali.
“There you go!” John was happy that Anjali was joining the game. The other two remained quiet.
John lit the candles and slowly began moving the planchette in a circular motion. He invited the ghosts to communicate through the portal. As wind blew through the open windows, some candles went out, and the lavish chandelier above them began to swing violently.
All got up from their seats and quickly walked towards the exit. The chandelier snapped and began crashing down. They ran outside the room. Broken glass shards from the chandelier spread across the floor near them in seconds. They began hearing screams and cries that made no sense.
Manu said, “Let’s get out of this mansion and not think of anything any further.” John, the confident and strong-willed among them, spoke, “There must be an explanation for all this. I think some homeless people might be encroaching. They must be trying to drive us out. That’s it. I will find out the truth.” He continued, “All can go away. I will find out the gang that scares people from entering the mansion. All of these occurrences might be their doing. I am sure of it.”
John walked back to the room, collected his backpack, Ouija board and planchette from the rubble. He packed everything neatly and walked ahead, exploring the remaining part of the mansion. Manu, Samira & Anjali had no other choice but to follow their buddy, John. They could still hear the dismembered screams and cries.
“Don't you think those screams are getting louder as we walk?” asked Manu, confused. John said, “It might be just a recording to scare us away. I will expose this scam today.”, said John confidently.
“Are you okay, Sammy?” asked a worried Anjali. Sammy was looking at everyone.
“Aaaaaahhhhhhhh……….” Sammy screamed and ran to the corner of a room. The dismembered screams stopped all of a sudden. Sammy sat with her head bowed to her lap, curled up.
“What happened? Are you okay?” asked Manu, who worriedly rushed to Sammy.
Sammy lifted her head and stared at Manu. She looked like a different person. She got up and walked away without saying a word. John, Manu and Anjali panicked and went behind Sammy, but she was nowhere to be seen.
