The Girl, The Dreams and the Daayan Cult

A Personal Encounter by Sahil (Mumbai, Maharashtra)

This happened to me when I was in my first year of college, it is quite spooky because I am sure it is not a ghost. It is something that is very real yet very strange. It all started when I was on my way to college, I was at the signal, when a car right next to me caught my eye, a very beautiful woman was engrossed typing something on her iphone.

Just as the signal turned green, she looked at me and smiled a smile that somehow said that this is not our last meeting. And it wasn't . That night I dreamt of her, she was staring at me and smiling. The next morning, I did not want to think about it as I just passed it off as yet another strange dream but what followed shocked me, she was in my dream for straight 7 days. The most strange part was every time she came in my dream, her hair grew longer and longer. On the 7th day, it was unbelievably long. After the 7th day, it wasn't her who made her way in my dream, it was a lizard. But a lizard, who's eyes were absolutely the same as hers. I freaked out and got myself to a psychiatrist to understand what my dreams meant. But he brushed it off to be my imagination at play. He was completely wrong. One day, I saw a new family shift in a place right next to mine. I went to welcome them and guess what there she was sitting on the couch smiling at me and there was a kid with her too. I knew I had to figure this out on my own. I started casually talking to her and befriended her kid, to have easy access to her house to find clues. She talked like a really normal person. But a horrific event was not too far. It was around 3 a.m when I heard someone close the door with a bang. I woke up to find out knowing it has to be her, I wasn't wrong. She took the lift that did not work and entered the basement of our building. I tried to enter but could not get pass the door somehow. All I saw was a symbol that looked like a lizard on the floor which was made with something that looked like powder. After a few silent minutes, I heard a cry of a child. I was scared and wanted to turn and run but she was there in front of me, smiling and what connected this reality to my dream was the fact that her hair looked unbelievably long. I passed out and when I woke up, I was at home. I rushed out to go to her house, but it was locked. The dreams stopped.

Its 2 years later, I go to a club with a friend. I am at the bar and I see a girl right in front of me with a tattoo of the same symbol made on the floor of the basement. And then I also find out news of "The Daayan Cult" making rounds in the city with very similar traits of the mystery woman. I do not want to find out anything about it but if you guys spot anyone with this symbol, please do not try to maintain eye contact or try to investigate much.

From IHT: Dear Sahil, we are glad that you were not harmed in any kind whilst you experienced the above. And yes people, there are still many cults around, even in India - members of which have been found out to practice some of the most unacceptable styles and modes of religious rituals. We don't know much about them yet - but many of them claim to have vision that sees beyond materialistic realities and dimensions.
