K.D. (Kamalika Das)
lives in a small area of Assam called Abhayapuri, where there is little more
than gas stations, schools, houses and cows. She usually considered this place
rather boring, but one night a few days before Halloween would change all that
for her.
On this night, K.D.
was driving her boyfriend to his house at about 8:30 p.m. being a person who
says she can almost always sense imminent danger or evil, K.D.'s heart began to
beat rapidly. For some unknown reason, chills ran down her spine and she began
to perspire, even though she had the car's AC on full blast. "I was
getting an eerie feeling that something evil was up ahead," she says.
We are all familiar with
how an animal's eyes glow in a creepy way when a light is shone into them.
"Up the hill about two minutes from my house, a black dog walked right in
front of my car," K.D says. She thought it was peculiar that the animal
was just casually walking across the road without any apparent fear of getting
hit by her car. "I hit the brakes and managed to stop about five feet from
the dog," she remembers. "It just stood there and stared at me. I
turned on my high beams, and when I saw its eyes, they were a golden reddish
tint. It stood there for about a minute, then walked away. I hit the gas and
sped off, terrified. But when I looked back, the dog was nowhere in sight."
K.D. proceeded home
but could not shake the weird feeling of dread that overcame her before and
during her encounter with that black dog. Was it a harbinger of something more
terrifying? K.D. believes it was a catalyst for a very disturbing dream a few
nights later.
"I dreamed that
I was in my room listening to music when it all of a sudden stopped," she
recalls vividly. "I looked at my iPod and it was still playing, but there
was no sound. I looked at my door and there was a man in a black trench coat
staring at me. It wasn't the fact that there was a man in my room that freaked
me out, it was his face. It was red with black cracks all over, and he had
horns. His eyes were a deep gold with no pupil, and he had long fangs coming
out of his mouth.
"I just sat
there staring at him. Then he said, 'It's time....' And that's when I noticed a
watch in his left hand. When he spoke, his breath came out as smoke and reeked
of burning spoiled meat. He made a grab for my neck and that's when I woke up.
The first smell that came to me was burning spoiled meat."
