I asked my grandmother many times about the abandoned house in the backyard. But my grandmother didn't reply to my questions. And warn me not to go there.

It was the summer holidays, I often visit my grandparent's house during the holiday. From the first day onwards I came here, I always heard the sound of the piano from nowhere. One day I woke up trilling and shriving the loud sound of the piano. It was raining heavily.

I got up from the bed and unplugged my phone from the charger and looked outside from the window. I saw that far from something is shining, maybe it was the lights. I couldn't see it clearly because of the heavy rain. I slightly opened the door of my bedroom and started walking downstairs. My grandparent's house was from ancient times and the stairs make a quite strange noise as I walk. As I reached the final stair, I heard some strange voice saying "come to me" "come to me..."

"Someone is there?

 granny?" I spoke up as I walked following the piano sound. And the sound suddenly stopped.

I walked into granny's room but she was sleeping. I closed the door. I don't wanna disturb anyone at this hour so walked following the sound. As I walk the sound gets louder and louder. I asked my little sister if she is playing the piano. But there are no musical instruments in the house. I walked through my sister's room she fall asleep. The sound coming from the backyard I noticed. As I walked through the kitchen the sound of the piano gets closer and louder. Then someone started singing in a soft voice, it was a female voice. Who will sing at this hour? I thought and slowly opened our backyard kitchen door. As I opened it I was shocked to see the sight in front of me.

The abandoned house was brightly lit, even though this house has been vacant for a very long time. What should I do now? I gulp hard and forcefully shut the door. And run towards my room and went back to sleep. I can't explain what I just see. It was a hallucination? Or it was true? I can't believe my eyes what I saw. The next morning I woke up shivering in cold. Covering sweat. As if I woke up in the middle of a nightmare. I thought there was someone who comes only at the night to the vacant house and plays the piano every night. And scares us. While I was changing, I felt someone staring at me there at the window.

I turned and looked up I saw a shadow figure, hiding behind the curtains. I quickly opened the curtains and scanned all around outer space. There was none. Then I was called by granny. I didn't tell granny what happened last night. She has already warned me not to go there. Nobody dared to go into that house. It was an old house. I stood outside looking at the house. The windows were broken. The moment I looked at the house I heard somebody whispering in my ears. Called out my name again and again. Later that afternoon I was trapped in a situation, where I will be exploring that house no matter what.

I stayed until 3 am. Then exactly at 3, the piano starts playing, and as usual, the female starts singing in a soft voice. I followed the music and went to the backyard. As I reached there the house was vacant. There were no nights, no decorations. The piano sounds stop. I was in thought how can sound come to stop? And this house yesterday was bright with lights. And today is..... What is happening?

I gather all my courage, opened the door and stepped inside the house. It was completely dark. I turned on my phone's flashlight. The furniture was covered with white cloth, it had become yellow with age. As I proceeded further, I feel, someone is behind me. I was sweating completely. I frantically turned back there was none but complete silence. I was hearing my breaths. And as I turned around a hunched shadow came running towards me. I closed my eyes with dread and fright, as I manage to open my eyes, I saw the worst sight. The evil spirit was so close I could feel and hear it breathing. The evil spirit smirked and crept toward me. as soon as I saw the sight I was frozen with fear. I tried hard to move but my whole was trapped in one spot.

panting I put the flashlight on the face of the evil spirit yet he was dispersed living a slight smoke. But then I heard the door getting locked. A mouse went over the piano, I got startled. I frantically picked up the dusty vintage sheet from the piano, and I completely lost my breath at the sight
the whole piano was completely covered with blood
I was completely drenched in sweat. My throat was drying. 

My brain had stopped working. The last thing I saw was "WELCOME". It was written in red, the red blood. I heard the spirit giggling in my ear. I feel someone grab me tightly and dragged me away.

From that night nobody heard his voice, even though he shouts, no matter how much he screamed and how hard he hits the window. He was trapped there. and his family doesn't even know whether he exists or not.
