The terrifying return of Holika
The Scary Story of Holi
It was Holi night. The entire Rudrapur village was in a festive mood. People were dancing to the tune of drums, colours were flying everywhere. Children were throwing gulal, women were singing traditional songs, and people were busy preparing for Holika Dahan.
But this time Holi was a little different… some frightening, some horrifying!
The elders of the village said that strange things happen on the night of Holi, some spirits wake up on this night. But the youth considered these things to be mere superstitions.
This time too, four friends from the village—Arjun, Sameer, Vishal, and Nikhil—planned to celebrate Holi in the ruins of an old haunted mansion outside the village.
The place had been deserted for decades, because it is said that a woman named Holika was burnt alive there on charges of practicing black magic. The elders of the village were afraid to even go near that ruin, but these boys, drenched in intoxication and enthusiasm, took this warning as a joke.
The beginning of the cursed Holi
It was 11 pm. The four friends reached the ruins and gathered wood and lit a fire. As the flames rose, there was a strange rustling sound.
Suddenly, the winds started to pick up, the flames flared up, and dark red smoke spread all around.
🔥 “Yaar, this place looks weird… we should go back!” Arjun said nervously.
😈 “Hey, nothing will happen, don’t think too much!” Sameer replied laughing.
But then Vishal screamed.
He was pointing towards the fire, trembling. There was the shadow of a burning woman—embers were pouring from her eyes, hair was disheveled, and her burnt body was wrapped in smoke.
🔥 “You guys burnt me again… now you all will burn!”
Hearing this, the ground slipped under everyone’s feet.
The cursed terror of the ruins
All four started running to save their lives, but it seemed as if the ground was holding their feet.
Suddenly Nikhil stumbled and fell.
When Arjun, Sameer and Vishal looked back, their souls trembled—
🔥 Holika’s ghost was leaning over Nikhil. Smoke was coming out of his burnt face, and thick red blood was dripping from his eyes.
😱 “Someone save me… Leave me!” Nikhil started screaming, but his screams were lost in the wind.
The very next moment, the flames engulfed him and he was burnt to ashes in no time.
Arjun, Sameer and Vishal somehow saved their lives and ran towards the village. But Holika’s terrifying laughter kept echoing behind them—
🔥 “Next Holi will be your last… I will return!”
Holika’s Curse – The Fear of the Village
The next day when the villagers reached the ruins, only ashes were left there… and among the ashes lay Nikhil’s half-burnt watch.
After that day, no villager went near the ruins.
A strange silence would spread in the village on the night of Holi. No one would go alone near the Holi fire. People would say—
🔥 “If anyone tries to burn Holi in a new way in the village, Holika will return again…”
New Scary Events
But the story did not end here…
Arjun, Sameer and Vishal thought they were saved. But after a few days, Arjun started seeing a burning woman in his dreams.
There was red light in her eyes, and she was saying in a low voice—
😈 “You burnt me… I will not leave you!”
One night, Arjun was alone in his room. Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered on and off, and the sound of someone’s nails scratching at the door was heard.
🚪 “Kharr… Kharr… Kharr…”
Arjun’s heart started pounding.
When he mustered up the courage to open the door—
🔥 There was no one there… but there were burnt footprints on the ground!
Has Holika really returned?
People in the village slowly started to stay away from Arjun, Sameer and Vishal.
Sameer left the village, but it is said that wherever he went, burning footprints were seen at night.
Vishal suddenly went missing one day. People last saw him near the same ruins.
Now no one in the village goes out on the night of Holi.
🔥 “Because if someone lights Holi in the ruins again… Holika will return again!”
