I never took serious interest in considering the
issue of supernatural or the paranormal
existences probably because I just used to hear,
re-tell and read ghost stories especially from
this website once I was introduced to it by a
friend, and that none of any related incidents
occurred with me or I had any part in witnessing
it, but that doesn’t imply that I didn’t have any
belief in them. You could term that I was a
partial believer with a few doubts on some areas
that I decided to let be instead of questing the
answers to the questions. But all that changed
one night when I was returning home from my
cousin’s place.
Her computer was infected with a
virus and unfortunately, it took me the whole
afternoon in getting it to work properly.
Anyway, there are basically two roads that can
be used to reach my house and obviously
depending on the time spent on each one to
finally reach, I termed one as a long and the
other a short-cut. Practically, it would just
take around ten to twelve minutes if I were to
use the longer route but the shorter one would
take less then six to seven. It never occurred
to me before the reason why I always preferred
taking the long route instead of the short
although I had used it on a few occasions.
What
I have expressed below may not be a clear
description of what I used to experience while I
rode down that road with my bike but I’ll give
it a try.
Whenever I took that road, I always
felt uncomfortable and highly uneasy because
sometimes the road maybe deserted, but I always
felt that someone or something was either
watching me somewhere through the bushes and
amongst the trees as I passed by or (this
happens mostly) it was following stealthily and
silently behind me. Whenever I used to stop and
turn to look behind, I would either find other
people but from a far away distance walking in
the opposite direction or nobody at all.
Somehow, my instincts always used to tell me to
get out of that place as fast as I could. But
that night was a different story, I was already
more then late and I knew that my brother was
worried sick at home and if I would reach home
by or after eight, I was going to be in for it
big time! So I decided to use the shortcut
despite my instinct’s knock which I ignored that
begged me to even forget the thought of using
it. As I began riding down the road, the
atmosphere slowly began growing windy and cold
that made me feel like a food item which has
just been put in a fridge. With the hope of
reaching home within a short amount of time, I
continued further which was my biggest mistake.
Suddenly, I don’t know what happened but I fell
off from the bike as if I had recklessly hit a
large object on the ground like a huge stone of
some sort. After a moment of recovery, I began
realizing that things were about to or had already
gone wrong.
For the first time, I had the most
desperate need that I wanted to accomplish and
it was to get out of there as fast as I could. I
quickly got up, picked the bike from the ground
and began pedaling only to find out that it
useless because the chain was out. Replacing it
back wasn’t an option that I could take at that
time because there was no light apart from the
dim moonlight and the sudden fear that overcame
me gave me nothing but an order of force, so I
began running along with the bike.
It was just
less than two or one and a half of a minute of
reaching there when I noticed something glowing
in the empty darkness and the sudden silence of
the atmosphere. It was coming from the left hand
side, behind a metallic fence. As I was on the
run and just about to pass it, I saw a woman
with a shiny white dress sitting on a nicely
cut, huge and scriptured marbled stone that
looked like a gravestone according to the
angles. The woman looked at me fiercely with
dark and deep blue eyes, just watching me as I
was on the run and in the next moment, I
couldn’t believe what I saw. She didn’t have
eyes! Just empty dark sockets. I couldn’t have
been mistaken judging the darkness, it was just
like a second’s difference, I saw her eyes first
and in the next they are missing. That just
shocked me for a moment but my reflexes
increased my running speed as a reaction.
Once I
reached home, I threw the bike on the floor of
the porch, got inside and decided that I
wouldn’t take one step out. After a few days of
suffering nightmares and haunting's related to
the incident, I began feeling a little bit
better and made up my mind to forget the entire
episode.
Now I am living separate, I have my own
house in the city and sometimes I see things
which my psychiatrist says are just
hallucinations as an inflict to what happened
that night, like I see dark figures standing
near my bedroom door, or a woman hanging from
the ceiling, but that’s just hallucinations that
are formerly decreasing and I am bit used to
them so I do not pay much attention.
