TRUTH-EXTENSION-(1)
In my last episode ,I have narrated my experience as to how I saw ghost when I was at first standard student,studying at Cotton Hill school at Trivandrum.,Kerala State. Now I narrate my experience while I was studying at the Engineering College at Madurai,Tamil Nadu. I was in the fourth year and I was staying in the hostel.There were students from different parts of the country studying in the course,by staying in the hostel.
The behavior of students will vary from student to student.There may be disturbances and distractions from others;hence,I selected the main building, where the office is also situated along with class rooms situated in the ground floor as well as in other floors. During night times the main buildings and the veranda on the hind sides will be well lit.My self and another
senior friend of mine who was in the fifth year, used the class room as our place of study ,during exam times,especially during night times. The main reason for our choosing the class room was that we can sit under the fan and study without any disturbance. We were not permitted to use the table fan or ceiling fan in our hostel rooms during the course of my study for five long years. Normally , after finishing our dinner, we two, go to the college main building,which is located nearly two hundred yards away, to start our
study. The college campus is located in a place where there is a hill on the eastern side and in the west and northern side ,there is a
vast stretch of paddy fields;behind the hill,in the valley,there is a cremation ground.On the western side of the hill just some hundred yards away ,in the valley, there is a garden with all sorts of flowers and statues.
The class rooms will be normally locked and to our luck ,some windows may not be locked properly; we get in to the class room and switch on the lights and fans and select a table and bench and start our studies; my friend will be sitting at one bench and I will be sitting
on the side. Because of our concentration in studies, we will not be aware of the time passing by.
On that particular night , I just looked at my watch , it was around half past twelve in the night. I got tired and wanted to relax for some time. I got on to the veranda by jumping through the window. I started strolling, on the well - lit veranda. The water cooler on the side of the veranda was dry and so I couldn't refresh my self; I took my water bottle and refreshed my self.
I was casually looking at the vast stretch of land in front of the building in the darkness.
About fifty yards away, there was a tree covering a vast area with its branches. I was actually looking towards the tree only. There was a big branch of the tree seven feet above the ground level. I was able to figure out a pale fleshy figure sitting on the branching point of the tree, with its legs drooping down, The figure was very thin and slightly making some movements;concentrated on to the figure, despite the darkness, I was able to see two red colored eye-balls just staring in my direction. I was actually wondering how that figure alone, can make itself conspicuous in that darkness; there was no moon light on that day; so no one can assume , that, it might had been a shadow . I told my friend about the figure sitting on the tree, and warned him that he should not get smart and throw any stone at that figure and got a promise from him, before showing it.
He agreed and got down on to the ground below and stealthily took a stone and threw it suddenly, unmindful of the promise given to me; all of a sudden that figure which was sitting there, vanished and no sound of jumping was heard; had it been a thief ,we would have heard some noise;we got totally frightened and then we picked up our books and started running towards the hostel building.Being a good runner , I was running at a very great speed and on the way , I had to jump over a crawling snake; luckily I didn't get bitten by the snake.
We reached the hostel safely; however, it took a long time for my panting for breath to get subsided.The main reason for the presence of ghost there may due to the fact that we were present in that lonely place at half past twelve in the night and behind the hill there was a cremation /burial ground.
The figure I saw, was a ghastly one and I can confirm that ghosts do exist.
