The Shadowy Hand

This began to happen when I was home for about two or three months. My exams had just finished and now I had to wait for my results.

Me and my family live on the first floor of our house and our ground floor is kept for renters. There was this weird family as our renters for a while. They were quite over religious and maybe had faith in black magic too. The man used to chant his prayers loudly in a freaking voice that gave shivers to my whole family. That's why we got rid of them. Also, I had really bad experiences after they left which my mother often said to be due to their ill wishings.

Since I was home I suddenly revived my experiences and got tensed for a while. I began to remain angry and irritated. In my room the switch board is next to a window. As soon as I would enter my room and go to open lights near the board I would see a shadowy hand near the window. Earlier I thought it was my own hands reflection. But soon I realised it was not. Also I saw if anything else formed such a shadow but it was also impossible. I was worried.

One day my mother went to have a bath. My brother was in my room with me and no one else was home. I could see the kitchen door from my position. Suddenly I noticed a black shadow enter the kitchen. Then I heard sounds in kitchen. I thought it was my mother but soon I realised she was bathing. I jumped up and checked kitchen bit no one was there.

After the school started I soon became too busy to notice much. But since a few days all these things have begun again. The shadow hand in my room too is more persistent now. I often hear loud footsteps approaching but surely no one is visible. I have often silenced conversations to concentrate on the footsteps and the sound has increased but no one is visible.

I do not know what this shadow stuff is. What those footsteps signify.
