GHOSTS

Recently, I went to a birthday party at a friends house. We somehow started talking about horror movies and someone mentioned the movie called “Bhoot” and how scary it was.

One of my friends had been quiet till then. I was just thinking how come he is so quiet today, when he remarked that he wanted to share 2 real life experiences he had of ghosts!!

The first one he related was in his home town in Karnataka. He was a young boy at the time and was sleeping in bed one night when…he suddenly became aware of footsteps in his room. He was in the twilight zone of half sleep and half wakefulness. Imagining that it was his father, he called out “Bapu Bapu, Is it you ?”. There was no answer. He called out a second time, and there was again no reply. And then, he sensed someone sitting down on his bed. Before he could look, the whole bed started shaking as in the movie “Exorcist”. He started screaming in terror, and yet the bed kept shaking. After what seemed an eternity, his father and others came running. By then the shaking had stopped !
