16 Creepy Jinn Short Stories That Will Freak You Out by Dajjal: 6:59am On Aug 04, 2022 |
For the uninitiated, jinn are creatures made of "smokeless fire" that are mentioned in the Qur'an and throughout Islamic mythology. The two most famous jinns are probably the Muslim Devil (Shaytan) and the jinn in Aladdin's lamp from One Thousand and One Nights. -Disney-The jinn in the lamp was of course, immortalized by Robin William's portrayal of Genie in the Disney movie, though not totally accurately. Those two are powerful exceptions. Most of the time, Jinns are portrayed as invisible tricksters who whisper, confuse, and change shape. 1. The fight: One time, my mother-in-law was sitting in her bed. She looked over and saw a woman sitting in the chair next to her bed, with long pointy fingers and a face with very sharp angles. She was so frustrated and annoyed with the jinns (they see A LOT in their house and are no longer afraid, just really annoyed by them) that she reached out and grabbed the jinn by its wrist. She yelled, "Get out! I'm tired of you! Get out!" It started to try to pull its wrist away and eventually tried to bite her hand because she wouldn't let go. She pulled her hand away before it bit her and then the jinn vanished. —Sakinah Blue, Facebook 2. The jinn and the locket: At my boarding school, we had a few cases of bullying. In one instance, a bully broke a chain on a student's neck. As soon as that happened, the girl started to speak in a male voice while her body contorted in strange positions. It said it was a jinn and had travelled from a faraway place. Meanwhile, the bully's tongue swelled and almost prevented her from breathing. Long story short, teachers were called into the room — apparently, her parents knew and had gotten the chain for their daughter from a shaman to hold the jinn in. —Temitope Barakat Lawal (Facebook). 3. Communing with children Anonymous This happened when my grandfather was Egypt’s ambassador to Spain, and was living in Spain. I was two years old at that time, my mother said she would see me standing by the staircase constantly talking to someone and when she would put me to bed, I would stare out the door and say ‘Tek tak. Tek tak.’ Later on, my grandmother mentioned to my mom that she thinks I might be seeing sprits in the house and when qw were talking about it, my grandfather said that the TV in his room turn on and off sporadically and sometimes...could see shadows running across the balcony through the slits of the blinds. My grandmother said that its known little children and animals can see sprits, so when they saw me talking to something, they assumed there was spirits in the house and I was the only one who could communicate with them. 4. Hooves: This is an old Persian story: One day a lady goes to the public bathhouse. She pays the attendant and goes inside. Once inside, she notices someone in the room with her. She looks down at their feet, but instead of feet the person has HOOVES. The lady freaks out and runs outside as fast as she can. She rushes to the attendant and tells her that she saw someone with hooves instead of feet. The attendant looks at her, lifts up her skirt, and asks, “Like THESE?” —avar5 Via . Typing... |

5. The busybody:
I grew up in an Arab household
with many Arab family friends, so
I’ve heard many scary jinn
stories.
A family friend of mine
claimed that she went to bed
one night, and her whole
house was a mess. By the
time she woke up, her whole
house was clean.
For some
reason, that freaked me out when
I was little! Every night I made
sure that my room was clean so
that jinns wouldn’t clean it for
me. Nowadays, being a wife and a
full time college student, I could
only pray that a jinn would clean
my house for me… And what the
heck, cook dinner as well!
—tast 6. The night whispers: A few years ago, when I was on my third trimester of pregnancy, I would only be able to fall asleep when dawn came. Just as I was about to fall asleep one night, I felt pressure on the end of the bed, near my feet, as if someone —very heavy—sat on the bed, which was weird, because I didn’t even hear anyone come into the room. No creaking door. No footsteps. Just then, an eerie voice spoke straight into my mind. The language was unintelligible and distorted. I knew it wasn't human. But, to my surprise, I understood what ‘it’ was trying to say. My brain processed it easily, as if I had learned the language somewhere in the past. It asked me to pray my morning prayer. I was too sleepy and too scared to actually open my eyes. What if its face was suddenly right in front of my nose? So I responded in my head, communicating without actually opening my mouth to say a word. “Later please, I’m so tired. I didn’t get to sleep.” After I said so, the weight on the end of my bed lifted. The air which was previously heavy with presence became light and clear. I opened my eyes a little and saw the earliest morning light gleam through my window. My door stood still, no one came in, or out. I fell back to sleep. —p439bf994d Warner Brothers

7. The landlord: So apparently, in Saudi, my aunt lived in a house that was always being visited by a particular jinn who used to annoy her family. Once, she was laying in bed at night with her husband. She felt that something was off and when she left the room, she found her husband watching TV on the couch. When they went back to the bedroom to confront the jinn, it just laughed and went away. 8.An excerpt: "Generations back, one of (my) forefathers taught Quran, the holy book (to a) child from a jinns’ family. (The jinn child became) a hafiz (memorized the Qur'an by heart). (The jinn's) parents appeared in front of my...grandfather and in return, as a thanks, they offered him...many different things. There were huge trays full of gold and silver were brought or what not...But (he) would not accept it. He said “I did this because I believe i will be rewarded by Allah..." They wouldn’t go. <(The jinn) said you have done such a big favor to our generations that we want to give you something. After so many arguments...they wouldn’t go so... (my) grandfather said “OK, then what i would ask you is that you have to take an oath and promise me that for my next seven generations you would not hurt anyone or make anyone’s life miserable. 9. The territorial jinn: My great uncle went to visit his cousins in India. His cousins told him that since it was summer time and they would all sleep in the courtyard together. However, they told him he wasn't allowed to place his bedding in a particular corner. Apparently, a jinn slept there and strange things happened if any one disturbs that corner. My great uncle said it was nonsense and decided to sleep there anyway. One night, he woke up on the other side of the court. He laughed at first and thought it was his cousins who were pranking him and decided to sleep there again. The following night, the same thing happened, so he left a note next to his pillow saying, ”Stop pranking me. I know there is no jinn.” That night, he said he was pushed off his bed, and his bedding was thrown on the other side.A note was thrown into his lap which said, 'I sleep here.” The scary part is, it wasn't that dark and there was no one there.
