Do you believe in Ghosts?
The debate is endless as many would argue of their existence and there many argue against it. I am not sure where do i fit in but would like to recall an incident which took place once upon a time in my life and almost stopped my heartbeats.
Year: 2004 Somewhere in the month of November
Place: Samba, near Jammu ( close to NH-1)
We finished dinner and time to go to bed as journey was quite hectic and I wanted to touchdown the bed very badly. I was on a project monitoring visit to one of the Projects being implemented in the region of Jammu.
My hosts keep on insisting and literally pushing one of their staff ( Raju) to sleep outside my room in the corridor.My guest room was very close to the Highway the sound of trucks and heavy vehicles, the compound was very huge and the building was empty except me and one assistance (Raju) provided by my host. It was around 10'in the night. My guide cum assistance was hesitant and wanted to go back to his room, I obliged as it was not first time for me, i had stayed much bigger buildings alone during my travels and Moreover I was not afraid of Ghosts. He handed over a torch light to me in case required.
I went to the room closed the doors with the bolt. I like to sleep in dark always as even dim lights used to discomfort me ( though now i am used to it).
The sound of truck and heavy vehicles and sound of breeze cutting the silence of the night troubled me first but got used to it soon.
I was almost at sleep, but could not resist to hear the sound of the opening my gate...then could feel someone is walking in the corridor outside my room...my body started chilling as i had closed the main gate from inside and there was one in the building except me.....
The sound of foot steps were more clear now and i could feel the whoever walking has stopped just outside my door...i covered my my head with blanket with one hand and another hand looking for torch light ( i had switched of lights and the switch board was near the door)
But couldn't reach to the light...now worst thing happened... i could hear my room door making the sound that it is being opened...i wanted talk or ask who is there...but words never came out of my mouth...and it was dried already...the footsteps now became more obvious...some body is walking near my bed....i started praying all known prayers...suddenly I gathered all the courage within and reached to the torchlight ran to the switch board and switched on the light...
Magic... no one is there...i went to the door...the bolt is slide down...which i had doubly verified before sleeping..that means someone opened the door. Did not get the courage to go out in the corridor and see.... i closed the door again and switched on the light... couldn't sleep for rest of the night...
Now i came to know why my host was insisting their staff to accompany me and why Raju ran away after dropping me in the building
I caught hold of Raju in the morning...."Sir..this place used to be the dumping ground of bodies after murdering people"
"" More Dangerous living Ghosts are around us..Isn't it?"
