This man worked in the Himachal forest department and was often transferred to new places. Once he was transferred to place near Chamba. It was a beautiful forest which was green throughout the year. He got accommodation in a two-storey apartment not quite close to his office.
Few days passed and one day the man had a dream; in his dream, he saw a strange little boy about five years old lying next to him in his bed He had never seen that boy before. He held a handball. The boy asked the man whether he would like to play with him. The man agreed and took the little guy to the rooftop and started playing with him. After some time he heard the boy scream and disappear, and so did everything around him. The man woke up, anxious about what he saw in the dream. He felt as if the boy was still with him, and couldn't relax until he made sure he was alone. Putting it aside as dream, he went back to sleep.
Next morning, when he was rushing out of his flat, his neighbour who lived on the second floor asked him what he was doing on the rooftop at midnight. The man was shocked and was a little scared too, but he did not say anything and left for work. But he could not let this matter go and kept on thinking about it the whole day he was contemplating as what would have happened. He tried to convince himself that it was all a dream and maybe his neighbour was messing with him.
That night he found it very difficult to sleep. All he could do was think about that little boy. When he finally went to sleep, he saw the boy again. This time he was standing and crying in the next room. Suddenly he was in the same room as the man and was moving closer to him. The boy was bleeding and looked dreadful. The man's dream ended abruptly and he woke up to some noise in the next room. He switched on the lights, put on his glasses, looked all around but found nothing. Once again he tried to convince himself that nothing strange was happening, but he couldn't stop thinking about what happened. It was making him anxious.
Fortunately, the next night he didn`t dream of that boy and was able to sleep peacefully. This respite from the strange dreams made him feel that they were just some silly nightmares only. He had a good day; he met new people and learnt about his new responsibilities. He reached home quite late, after partying with his co-workers. He was too tired and fell asleep unaware of the fact that it was going to be the worst night of his entire life. That boy was in his dream again. He saw the boy sitting on his belly, with the handball on the man's chest. The boy`s eyes and forehead were bleeding badly. Gasping for breath, the man woke up and to his horror found the boy actually sitting on him. There was blood everywhere on his bed. He was trembling with fear and tried to run but was unable to do so. The was heavier than he looked. He struggled to get away from the boy and finally was able to do so. He ran out of the room and called his friend, who took him to his place.
This time the man was sure that it was not just a nightmare, but there was something wrong with the house. The next day he decided to move out but before that, he wanted to get to the heart of the matter. He started asking around about the place and finally came to know that a couple of years ago, there used to live a happy couple in his flat. They were blessed with a baby boy after a very long time. They were quite happy, until the day the father who was a pilot died in a crash. At that time his son was just five years old. The mother had to start working and so she hired a maid to take care of the domestic chores and her son while she was away at work. That maid was very cunning and used to steal many things from the house. One day the maid along with her husband planned to run away with all the money and precious possessions in the house. While they were stealing all the stuff, the boy caught them with the cash and the jewellery. Very innocently, he told them that he would call his mother and then the police will take them. They thrashed him badly and he started bleeding. The boy started crying and screaming loudly so they tied his hands and legs with a rope, shut his mouth with tape and locked him in the storeroom while they robbed the house. They stole everything and ran away, but never released the little boy. He was stuck inside, in extreme pain and eventually died. Her mother was not able to cope with his death and lost her sanity. After that incident, only two families lived there but left very quickly as they felt that something was wrong in that apartment.
Some people believed that the boy's spirit still haunted that apartment. A few people claim to have seen that boy playing with his ball on the rooftop or outside that house at midnight with blood on his body and many a people who stay nearby hear strange screams of a little boy echoing through the night.
