Non-sense and utterly disrespectful
Leo is a kleptomaniac. turns out, he steals something ,each and every time he went to someone's house.People always find some stuff missing from their usual position when required and be like totally confused.
This one time Leo get caught red-handed, stuff that do not belong to him,came out of his backpack which sort of look like the satchel from Indiana Jones movie, but only you wear it on the back instead of shoulder-neck combo. After getting caught,Leo completely denied it and said that he did not took any of it and he doesn't know how all these things ended up inside his bag.
Not believing him, and the news spreading faster than wildfire,people stopped inviting him at their house.Shocked Leo,asked himself that "i never took those things, how did all those ended up inside my bag?" and being confused,asked for help from his good buddy Elliot,who always though that something is wrong and he decided to help him.
Elliot invited Leo for dinner.Leo came wearing that same satchel and start chatting up with his friend and his wife.After an hour or so Leo was getting ready to leave and go home.Elliot came close inside his personal space and frisked him but found nothing.Then he checked the bag and boom! "there they are" said Elliot.He asked Leo why and when he took them. Leo, as usual, denied that he took those items and said he doesn't know how it ended up there.Elliot, believing his friend thought of a different plan and got ready to execute it.
Elliot Invited Leo again on dinner, it's just that this time Leo was being recorded and observed by the CCTV cams. Elliot didn't told him about those cams and let the course of action flow the way it does.At the end of night when Leo went home,Elliot played the tape and saw a very unusual and weird thing. He saw that Leo is walking up like a Zombie with his eyes all white and just picking random stuff up and putting inside his bag.
Confused Elliot thought he is possessed or maybe he's got some mental disorder,but being a religious person, he believed it to be some sort of possession and got scared and contacted a priest immediately.
The priest saw the tape and said that only Leo's demise will get him out of this problem. Elliot,being a good friend opt for anything but death.But the priest told him that death will set him free and somehow convinced him.
Leo heard all of this conversation as he was lurking in the backyard because his intuition told him that Elliot was acting pretty strange the other night.Leo didn't like this at all(maybe it was him or that zombie spirit).
The next day, when Leo was out somewhere,the priest made some sort of a magical circle inside his house,which will kill the spirit and Leo and was laughing hysterically unaware of the fact that Leo was doing the same thing to his house and his buddy Elliot's house and instead of laughing Hysterically, his laughs were more of a Sinister'ish'.
Priest died that night and Elliot died that night too but somehow his wife survived and ran away quickly.Leo was happy since he got rid of all the loose ends but being an absent minded guy,somehow managed to put himself inside that circle drawn by the priest and died.
Their friends and family and everyone came to search them but died because of the witch craft.Finally so many people died that those 3 house became haunted and people started spreading myths that whoever goes in, never comes out.Some people tried but failed to come out.
Nobody lurks near those house but if anyone goes in,their name and address goes up in a list which was kept by a woman with white eyes,who kinda looked like Elliot's widow.
