00:00This incident I'm telling you about happened in July 1969.
00:04I was six years old at the time.
00:07My grandmother, may God have mercy on her,
00:09took me with her to visit her brother's house,
00:11my father's uncle, in the Fahehil area.
00:14In those days, people lived close together
00:17and it was common for a sister to stay at her brother's house for several days.
00:21I still remember that visit as if it were just two days ago or last week,
00:25even though more than 40 years have passed.
00:27My father's uncle's house was huge, exceeding a thousand square meters.
00:33Because I was so young, it seemed to me like it was more than 3,000 square meters.
00:38That's how we perceive things when we're young,
00:41we see them as many times larger than they actually are.
00:44I stood at the entrance of the house, contemplating its size and its mystery.
00:48I felt that it held secrets I didn't know and couldn't even think about
00:52because of their profound obscurity.
00:54Although today I see it as an ordinary, normal house,
00:58what my grandmother told me in the car on the way there gave me the feeling
01:01that I was about to enter a dark forest, not an ordinary house.
01:05Grandma's advice
01:06As we got into the car, my grandmother told me,
01:10we're going to your uncle Mohammed's house now, so don't disturb them,
01:14don't run around too much, don't damage the furniture,
01:16don't stand on the bed or sofas, don't mess with the TV or radio,
01:20close the bathroom door and don't waste water,
01:23don't miss your prayers and don't raise your voice,
01:26because your uncle doesn't like being disturbed.
01:28Her advice seemed endless and I used to find it annoying back then,
01:32but I later realized it was the foundation of human values.
01:35We arrived at the house and I felt afraid.
01:39It was dark and large, its trees drooping and the palm fronds making terrifying noises,
01:44as if someone were riding the wind.
01:46Lemons hung from the trees as if someone was staring at me with yellow eyes.
01:51No one seemed to care for the dense farm,
01:53and it didn't appear that anyone was tending to it.
01:56I
01:56In the morning, my grandmother told her brother about the matter,
02:01and he told her that the house had been haunted since it was built about three years ago.
02:05He told us stories about the voices they used to hear in it.
02:09What surprised me was that he was talking in our presence,
02:12me and his children, when we were young and did not exceed ten years of age.
02:17Then came the disaster that I did not expect.
02:20He said,
02:21I saw one of them in front of me as I was going to the dawn prayer.
02:24He was tall, wearing a robe or cloak and a short dish dasha, and his features were not clear.
02:31I said to them,
02:32What do you want?
02:34Leave us alone, we are peaceful.
02:36He said to me,
02:38I will go with you to the prayer, and we are Muslims too, and we will not harm you.
02:42Then he disappeared, and I did not see any of them, but I hear their voices constantly.
02:49We kept telling each other about the presence of Jin in my late uncle's house until this day.
02:54Even after they sold the house, it remained as it was in the Fahihil area.
02:59My cousin told me, after we grew up and were used to hearing stories about the house,
03:03that they lived above a temple for Jin, and God knows best.
03:07Days and years passed, and to this day, I still remember those two nights I spent with
03:12my late grandmother at her brother's house as if they were yesterday.
03:17Returning home
03:17The following night was even more terrifying than the first.
03:22There was a window in the room overlooking the roof, covered by a thin curtain.
03:27In the middle of the night, the shadow of a man appeared standing behind the window.
03:32I woke my grandmother immediately, and she covered herself with the blanket and said loudly,
03:36who are you, and what do you want?
03:39Leave us alone, go away if you fear God.
03:42He moved away, then returned again, but this time he knocked on the window.
03:47My grandmother opened the window immediately, and I hid behind it, amazed by its strength.
03:53There was no one there, but I saw a man standing at the far end of the roof.
03:57I saw him clearly, and I don't think I was imagining things.
04:02My grandmother closed the curtain and told me to go to sleep,
04:05saying they wouldn't harm us again.
04:07And indeed, we didn't hear anything after that.
04:11But the next day, I insisted on returning to my parents' house,
04:15I couldn't bear to stay there another day.
04:16Let's go ahead and settle this way.
04:17Let's go ahead and settle it today.
