Unknown to the known - 3 horror stories of my life

Unknown to the known - 3 horror stories of my life!!!

“The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door”. "If you don't believe in ghosts, don't turn around to see who is standing in the corner of this room.
We all have “scared to death” stories about dead people, ghosts and vampires. Are ghosts real - a question haunting humanity through ages? Some believe they exist and others think it’s our imagination. Who’s right?

Dear TM and Guests - I'd like to tell you 3 horror stories of my life which changed my perception about ghosts. Let’s explore the ghostly world!

Act 1 it’s week after neighbor guy passed away in accident. I was walking back home in dusk, in a secluded road, bound by forests, howling dogs, chirping birds, setting sun. I was half km away from my home. I heard whistle from behind. I turned back. I was trembled, shuddered, and shocked. The tall, thin, pale the dead neighbor guy walking behind me. I cried out “it’s a ghost”, I started running. Didn’t dare to look back, it’s impossible, unbelievable, and dreadful. I sprinted like a deer in fear of her life& just collapsed at my doorstep in front of my mother, uttering– “I am going to die. I am ghost attacked, I saw him alive”. My mother looked terrified. She just sprinkled some water on my face and hugged me and said – “no, you are not going to die”. I said it again, I saw him alive, the dead Vijay! My father came from inside and told – “oh, she must have seen his identical twin, who arrived from the US this morning”!

Act 2 It was family dinner, someone mentioned about torturous death of our maid Bhagya her husband. Quite a sad story! After dinner, we were going to cousin’s place – for which we had to cross a graveyard. Just in front of the cemetery – amidst dark night, in the bike light, I could see a lady in red sari, with tearful eyes and smiling face. Vulture of fear hovered above me. I screamed -“Go Back”.  We turned back and came home horrified and terrified, I couldn’t tell anyone what happened and slept. Next morning, everyone was staring at me with surprise and worry. I asked my father – what’s it – he said –it’s a rumor spread by maid’s husband that she is dead! Indeed she is alive! Even till date.

Act 3 I was renting out a place in the first floor, wherein the land lady was quite close to me and instead of the staircase outside; I used to take the parallel inside staircase with glass window. She had 90 year old mother in law. At times, I could see her screaming that – I see someone standing there, crying there, someone is killing me etc. She passed away suddenly and they took her body to their native and I was all alone in the home. This time I decided not to be fearful.It was the third day of her death, night at around - 11.30- 12, main doorbell rings. Ringing continues. I was quietly sitting in my room. It stopped. I got out of the room and started climbing down the stair case and I peeped in the glass window. Gray haired lady, in white sari, waving at me! My heart stopped for a moment. I closed my eyes - took a deep breath opened my eyes. She was still there, pointing me to come down. I went numb, lips were dry, couldn’t scream, cry, I felt – I am dead and in that trance, I went down and was about to open the door. I just shook my head. No, this isn’t real. I tried to look through the door-scope. There is a lady, just the way I described, I opened – she says – “it’s me my dear, don’t get scared”. I was shivering and quivering – “I am tenant in the second floor - came to pay the rent. I thought you are her landlady’s daughter”! Well, of course not in the midnight!!!

As scary as they are, these incidents changed my insight about ghosts and evil spirits. I am convinced that mostly, ghosts are our illusion, delusion and imagination. I believe in science, which is beautiful and wonderful.

Famous NASA scientist says –“If each dead person became a ghost, there'd be more than 100-billion ghosts haunting us” Do we become ghosts when dead? The question is still alive! The science answers - “All the atoms of our bodies will be blown into space in the dissolution of the solar system, to live on forever as mass or energy." So we live forever not as ghosts but in various forms in nature as part of this nature… We are magic, and we are real.
