The spirit next door episode 3

??The Spirit Next Door??
Part three

The frightening creature before me was beyond description and human comprehension. I began to think that the writer of those scary movie I watched had an experience before writing because the creature before me was the exact picture of the screaming banshee I use to see in a movie except that it was a male banshee.

His hair was white and long, His male physique was really visible in the dark. He was of average height and he his eyeball was shinning in the dark like reflection of light on cat's iris.

I've never heard or of a male screaming banshee in my life nor see it in a movie.

He was looking at me with mean and devilish eye. His scary appearance put me in a shocking trance. I couldn't move nor talk, I was just staring at him alone in the middle of the night.

He increased the terror in his cold eye, then he raised his hand and snapped his finger at me before disappearing into thing air. I couldn't fathom the reason why he snapped his finger at me.

"Was he trying to warm me against poke nosing or he snapped his fingers to notify me of more impending danger ahead".

His grip on my mind vanished immediately he disappeared. But, I was surprised the tree didn't disappear with him. I closed the door as fast my hands could and ran to my younger brother's room.

I can't dare sleeping alone tonight. Not after what I just saw. I sneaked over to my brother's bed and crept under his blanket. I closed my eyes tightly and hug my younger brother tightly to reduce the fear in me. I finally dozed off some minutes later.

I woke up first the next day. The time was around 7 am. I stretched my body and made a long yawn to make myself fully awake. It took me some minutes before realising that my brother was not beside me.

I stood up quickly and went to the toilet to check him but he wasn't there. I ran to the parlour to check him and still, I didn't find him. The fear of what I'm thinking started growing in my mind.

I ran to the kitchen, checked our younger sister's room and also checked our parent's room, but he was no where to be found. I finally decided to go outside to confirm my thought.

Then I moved to the door and opened it. I paused, breathe in and breathe out to have a clear understanding of what my eyes was seeing.

There he was playing with a big dead rat at the exact spot where the tree appeared to last night.

"Isreal, what are you there. What!!, you are playing with a dead rat early in the morning" I shouted at him as if I wasn't aware that something will be dead in the morning.

"Please, don't tell Daddy oo", he said as he ran inside.

I quickly disposed the rat away to avoid answering different unnecessary questions from my parents.

Initially, I wanted to visit Precious place that day to explain my ordeal to her, but due to the love I have for her, I voted against it so that I won't drag her back into the problem she just escaped from.

The day just went by like yesterday. No special activity took place, I didn't even bother to use anointing oil to desecrate the land. I just went to bed early and was expecting the spirit to visit in the middle of the night.

I held my bible with me under the blanket and slept off. It didn't take five minutes before I was ferried away into the dreamland.

It was as if the screaming tempo is increasing night by night. This night scream took a different dimension. I was woken up under one second.

The loudness of the scream made it obvious that I was the only one hearing it. If everyone including my Dad hears it, I'm very sure my Dad would switched on the Generator to check where the sound is coming from.

I stood up as usual and started running to the parlour to check what I already know.

I was scared to heaven when I got to parlour. What I saw continue increasing to climax, more unimaginable. I saw the Male Banshee spirit inside the parlour, he stood at the entrance of my brother's room laughing hysterically. Then he shifted his gaze at me started grinning and smiling in a devilish manner.
