“3rd story”
A story by Laleh Chini:
First published: Aug.31.2017
It is part of the Muslim religion to believe that “Jinn-Alien” lives among humans. In Iran, many people used to report seeing Jinn but these sightings eventually stopped in the last 70-80 years. Jinn is a supernatural creature who lived for thousands of years between people secretly.
They are capable of shape-shifting into animals. They look like people but with hooves and tails. They hid from humans because they were afraid of us and believed we could harm them. They are harmless unless they get indignant. The word “Jinn” means “hidden from sight.” Although normally we don’t see them, they are able to see us. Some believe that Jinn is able to time travel and that they come from different planets, in other words, they are the Aliens.
When I grew up in Iran, older generations from not only my family but many others claimed that they had seen Jinn. As a child, there were a few stories in particular that always sent chills down my spine and decades later, I still, do. I will share one of the old family member’s memories of seeing Jinn.
He claimed that he was shoveling in his garden when he accidentally hit a snake in the head. Instead of killing it with his shovel, he felt sorry for the snake and decided to let it go.
The next day his doorbell rang, but he wasn’t expecting anyone. When he answered the door, somebody he didn’t recognize handed him an envelope without saying a word. When the strange man left, he opened the envelope and found a wedding invitation with his surname on it.
Surprised, he showed the card to all of his family members and none of them knew the bride or groom. His family decided not to go since they didn’t know anyone but he decided to go alone out of respect. The wedding took place just a few days after he had received the invitation, he followed the address and found himself in a big garden with lots of lights, and chairs and dressed up people like all of the weddings he normally went to. He couldn’t recognize anyone, so he just sat on a random empty seat. There were all kinds of fruits and pastries on the table in front of him.
When the bride and groom were walking around to greet guests, he got up on his feet like others. He noticed that the groom had a bandage wrapped around his head. The groom walked towards my family member and thanked him for letting the snake go the other day in the garden. He continued: “Thank you for not killing me.” This terrified him. In that instant, he looked down and realized that everyone around him had hooves.
He fainted from the horror of the scene.
When he woke up, he found himself in an old graveyard in his town “Bandar Anzali.”

Thank you for the interesting story and the information. That would frighten me as a child too!
Lol
Actually me too.
Intresting story. I still dont know how i feel about these creatures.
I know how you feel. I am glad that we can’t see them. lol
This was interesting but teaches us to treat all aspects of nature as special gifts. The snake was part of something which has hooves. Thank you!

There is no invisible world, but from what is the unlimited imagination of man?
I sent my regards
Thanks for reading dear.🌹❤️
I loved this story.. My culture and place I live is far from talking about jinns, but I do believe in their existence. The places or moments that I feel at peace I believe I’m surrounded by them.
Thanks so much dear for reading, appreciate your share of thoughts.🌹
how beautiful are your stories, I always look forward to them
I have a question.
At one of the stations, I had 9 readers from Iran. I do not know what prompted him to pick up writings as far away as those on my blog, you can help me?
I didn’t understand your question dear, could you explain more. Thanks 😊
Nice story! I live in Turkey and they tell me that the jinns are everywhere. A friend told me not to pour hot water down the drain because of the jinns… I didn’t take her advice, but I think the jinns like me…;)))
😂 I never personally experienced any but heard many stories from older people. Thanks for sharing your comment dear.❤️
Thank you for your story, it inspired us to do best for others, including animals
Thanks for reading dear, means a lot.🌹
Reblogged this on l'eta' della innocenza.
Thank you dear.
Thanks Ned.🙏😍
I will faint too if I see Jinn and thank you for always sharing your beautiful story with us
You’re amazing dear.❤️
sounds like odo the shape shifter cop from the dominion!
Or alien.
Thankfully, it seems It could have been much for him if he had killed the snake.
Such a mystery. Thanks dear friend.🌺
Wow, that sure scared me! It’s interesting the Native American culture has shape shifters, as well.
Julie
Maybe they have seen aliens 👽 and we don’t now a days.🌺
Love this one. It gave me chills when I came to the end!
Have a great weekend Anne. Thanks sweetheart.💝
I’ve heard stories of Jinns but not of them be coming animals or having hooves for feet.
Interesting stories we hear, little bit scary though. Thanks dear.
It was scary when I was younger.
I am still afraid of these stories.👽
That’s logical to be afraid of something you don’t know much about
You’re right.🌷
A tale or truth Laleh.. ? Quite interesting alright. love your stories.💖
Thanks so much dear Cindy. He claimed that was a true story. God knows, but he was a kind and honest man.💝
Hahahaha maybe so and often people are legends in their own minds!
You are a legend to me ❤️
Awww and you’re a sweetheart to me.❤️
I loved this story!!!Thank You, Laleh!!! 🤗💖😊
Thanks for reading dear.💕
I am fascinated by this story and find so much in it to think about, especially the idea that our empathy and ability to imagine the result of one small action can help us to choose the right path. <3
That’s very kind of you dear, Jaya. Thanks ❤️💝❤️
