This story is about my brother. Let's call him Arif. My brother was previously married for about 2 and a half years to the love of his life until she died in a car accident. But he did not take this news very well. He stopped going to work and will just lock himself up in his own house.
Being the concerned older brother, i decided to stay over at his house to make sure he did not do anything stupid. Fast forward two weeks later, he was still very emotional but doing slightly better.
One night while i was trying to get some sleep, i heard my brother strumming his guitar.
I thought to myself,
"Thank God he's finally recovering.."
The next day, i woke up to find him preparing breakfast for both me and him. He was smiling and being back to his old happy self. I find this a bit odd but i was glad to see him doing well. Honestly i was still very shocked. So i told him,
"I see you are recovering well so i will leave you alone for two days alright. I can't leave Mum alone at home because she needs me too. Anything just call me.."
Two days later, my Mum and i decided to sleep over at my brother's place. He lives in a 3 bedroom flat so my Mum took one room, my brother in his own room while i slept in the living room.
It was past midnight and i was trying to get some sleep when i heard my brother strumming his guitar again. I smiled to myself but it didn't last long because i suddenly heard my brother talking to someone in his room! I quickly got closer to his bedroom and placed my ear on his door. I heard the guitar still being strummed plus my brother talking to someone like this,

"Dear, thank you for accompanying me again tonight. Please don't go home early, stay with me longer. I miss you so much. Seeing your face makes me feel at ease."
I was so shocked until my mind went blank! The next morning, i told my Mum what happened but Mum didn't want to believe me. So it was all in my hands now. I told my brother that Mum and me were going home but secretly i have taken away his house keys. I waited for him to go to work and when he left, i went back inside to see what he was hiding in his room.
The moment i entered his room, only God knows how i felt at that point of time. The clothes that belonged to his late wife were all over the room! They were neatly hanged ; one was at the window, one at his cupboard and the creepier one was the one on his bed! It was a gown and he placed it like as if someone was lying down next to him and to top it off, there was a portrait of his late wife on it!
I can feel that something wasn't right about his room. Due to the situation, i had to do something. I went to meet someone who knew more about these things and he told me that my brother is being possessed!
