JustUtter 2Min Horror Stories: A Book Series "Bhoota Gappa"

I was probably around 13 years old when I went to one of my aunt's houses in Aali Tehsil,Kendrapada with my niece to spend my summer holidays. I had planned to stay for 2-3 days but ended up staying for a week. Believe me, I was unable to sleep for those seven days. My niece is three years younger than me. My aunt is a widow and has three daughters. One of her daughters was married and wasn’t there. The moment I stepped into their house, I could sense some strange energy and immediately wanted to leave. However, with all the day's events and conversations with my cousins, time flew by, and things started to feel normal. At night, all of us slept in the same big room, and I was right in the middle. In front of the bed was a window with a clear view of their front yard and the neighbor's house. I usually stay up later than others, so at around 2 a.m., I heard a voice—it sounded like a bird or a child calling out someone's name. It seemed to come from the yard, so I got up...

I was marching down the dimly lit school hallway toward my classroom when an ear-piercing scream shattered the silence. My body froze. A shiver crawled up my spine as I hesitated, unwilling to move any further. Something felt off. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a shadow—long, slender, almost stretching unnaturally—following me. Before I could turn to look, the doors of every classroom slammed shut with a deafening bang, one after another, sealing the corridor in eerie silence. Panic gripped me. My breath quickened as I fumbled for the nearest door, desperately trying to pry it open. My hands trembled as I twisted the knob, and suddenly, the door creaked open. What I saw inside sent a paralyzing chill through my veins. Bodies. Dozens of them. Piled haphazardly, limbs twisted in unnatural angles, their glassy, lifeless eyes staring into nothingness. The walls were smeared with deep crimson handprints, the floor soaked in blood. The overwhelming stench of death h...

I sprinted through the echoing corridors of IIT Kharagpur, my breath ragged, my heart a trapped bird hammering against my ribs. The cold tile beneath my feet blurred as I pushed myself faster, desperate for the solitude of the terrace. System Engineering. Mechanics. Two red slashes across my academic record, each a brand seared into my soul. Hope, the fragile butterfly I’d carried for so long, had finally given up, its wings crumbling to dust. I knew, with a chilling certainty, that I would never reach the heights I had dreamed of. The terrace doors swung open with a groan, revealing the vast, star-studded sky. The wind whipped at my face, a cold caress that mirrored the emptiness inside me. I walked to the edge, the drop a dizzying invitation. "Where are you off to?" The voice, a low murmur from behind me, made me jump. I whirled around, my eyes struggling to adjust to the dim light. He was a senior, I recognized him from a few pictures I have seen of him from our hostel...

    A mansion, opulent and imposing, now stood where generations of homes had risen and crumbled. Beneath its foundations lay the ghosts of lives lived, a tapestry of joy and, more often, the jagged edges of tragedy. Each brick whispered stories of previous inhabitants, their laughter echoing in the empty halls, their tears staining the very mortar. Death, a constant companion, had stalked these grounds for centuries. One such tale clung to the newly erected walls, the story of a teenage girl visiting her uncle for his housewarming. Her own home, a humble cottage near the fish-filled pond in Jagatsinghpur, Odisha, felt a world away from this sprawling edifice. In her village, an ancient belief persisted: no one should sleep alone in a new house until cleansing rituals had been performed, banishing any lingering spirits trapped within its walls. This new house, however, was smaller than her uncle’s previous residence, and her aunt, overwhelmed by the prospect of hosting n...

   I hail from Murshidabad in Bengal. My story begins during the wedding of my tutor, where I stayed for three days. A mental hospital stood ominously close to her house. She repeatedly warned me to disregard any unusual noises or occurrences, but one afternoon, I stepped out onto her balcony, shirtless. Returning to the room, I fell asleep alone. Around 1 AM, a sound jolted me awake. In the dim moonlight, I saw a figure standing near my bed. The man's face was a grotesque mask of blood and scratches, and saliva dripped from his lips. I feigned sleep, terrified as he watched me with unsettling intensity. Suddenly, he vanished. But a chilling sensation washed over me. I felt a presence behind me, breathing heavily and making guttural sounds. I was paralyzed with fear, unable to move. Desperate, I began chanting the Hanuman Chalisa, my voice trembling. The morning call to prayer, the azan, finally broke the spell. The presence was gone. I immediately contacted my relatives and f...
