Once upon a time, in Karachi, there lived a teenage girl named Aleena. She was no ordinary girl Aleena had a unique gift, or perhaps a curse: she could sense and see spirits. While most people would have been terrified by such encounters, Aleena was brave. She recited Quranic verses to protect herself and stayed strong in the face of the unknown.
A New Beginning in Surjani Town:
One day, due to financial struggles, Aleena's family decided to move to Surjani Town a dark, spooky part of the city known for its eerie silence and unsettling energy. From the moment they arrived, Aleena sensed that something was terribly wrong with the house. She tried warning her father, but no one believed her. Her family thought she was just making things up.
The First Sign:
On the day they moved in, Aleena went to her room to unpack. Suddenly, a foul, choking smell filled the air. She checked everywhere but couldn’t find the source. Even with the windows shut, the smell only got stronger. She called her parents to check, but they couldn’t smell anything and dismissed her again.
As the evening fell, the family continued setting up their new home. Aleena finished organizing her room, set up her cupboard, and went to bed. But in the middle of the night, she heard soft giggling right in her ear. She began reciting Quranic ayats, but the giggling grew louder and more menacing. Frightened, she rushed to her sister Kinza’s room and lay next to her. Sweating and scared, Aleena kept reciting until she finally fell asleep.
In the morning, Kinza was surprised.
“What are you doing on my bed?” she asked.
Aleena smiled weakly, “I was just missing you.”
She didn’t tell anyone what had happened. What was the point? No one would believe her.
Strange Activity:
Later that day, Aleena returned to her room and found her cupboard wide open clothes scattered all over the floor. Furious, she called her sister, thinking it was a prank.
“Kinzaaa!”
But Kinza denied it. “I didn’t even come into your room!”
Aleena once again told her mother, but she brushed it off:
“Stop it already, Aleena! Enough of this drama. Go clean your room!”
Days passed, and the strange occurrences continued voices, moving objects, flickering lights but Aleena stayed silent.
The Horrifying Night:
Then came the night everything changed.
Aleena’s mother went to call her for dinner, but she wasn’t in her room. She walked back to the kitchen only to find Aleena standing near the stove, slowly lowering her hand toward a pot of boiling curry.
“Aleena, what are you doing?!” her mother screamed, pulling her back. But Aleena just laughed a chilling, hollow laugh and ran toward the main door, disappearing into the dark.
Panicked, her mother searched everywhere but couldn’t find her. Just when she picked up the phone to call Aleena’s father, she heard Aleena's voice coming from her room.
She rushed there and saw her daughter sitting on the bed, hair open, staring blankly, laughing uncontrollably.
Terrified, she locked the room and called her husband and a close friend a religious woman known for helping people troubled by evil spirits.
The Possession:
When everyone arrived, they saw Aleena in a condition that no words could explain. The religious woman took one look at her and said:
“She’s possessed.”
Exorcisms began immediately. They tried everything recitations, cleansing, prayers. That’s when the truth emerged: the spirit had been with Aleena since childhood. It wasn’t a new haunting it was a spirit that had claimed her long ago and refused to leave.
Aleena herself had seen it, heard it, lived with it.
The End of Aleena’s Fight
Despite everyone's best efforts, nothing worked. The spirit grew stronger, and Aleena grew weaker. Her body was failing, and her soul was exhausted from the constant battle.
And then one day, lying silently in her room, Aleena took her last breath.
