Living With The Dead:- I was not sure if I should open my eyes and face the reality or visualize the moment and keep shivering. The mental stage of courage kept me breathing heavily, my heart was pounding and I could feel the goosebumps. Charpoy (Indian name for a light bedstead) made a screeching noise, as someone just sat beside me, although I heard everyone going downstairs. Then Who was it ?????? with a foul smell, never experienced such instance ever in my life, although I was just twelve years old. Had no option apart from wait and watch, the strategy worked, could realize the charpoy made significant moment and I could feel the “thing” leaving, heard the footsteps going in the opposite direction to the stairs, but there was just a wall, where is it heading towards?? I opened my eyes without looking back ran towards the staircase, there I found everyone waiting for me. I was sweating and shivering in fear, narrated my dilemma, everyone was shocked and rushed to see the empty room, the only passage was a door linked to the staircase, a room without a window, what was that creature? Where did it vanish??
It was quite strange to hear about the demise of my friend’s cousin, so we planned to join the mourning ceremony. I still remember it was clear sky in the month of October, we headed toward Dwarka sector 9, two of us were ready to join the ceremony but the third, Aman was down with three bottles of beer, we agreed to leave him in the car. The route we took passed through Peepal tree, had an impression of spirituality, so alteration made in the plan to pay respect to the holy tree and a little temple beside it, because we were heading for a good cause. Aman declined, went to pee in the other direction, we took off our shoes, a few meters away from the tree, prayed in respect to almighty, headed back to the shoes and saw Aman sitting in the car just behind the driver seat. We opened the door of the car to make yourself comfortable, I asked Aman for the water bottle to quench my thirst, to my surprise, a husky voice answered in a very fierce tone “Who is Aman?” It took me a few seconds to realize there was fourth person sitting in the car at the back seat, Aman’s eyes popped out, staring at that unknown personality. My third friend Sandeep realizing the fact, something unusual happening, turned his back, astonished, started stammering, “Brother how come you are here? “
I was out of my senses and could not relate anything, once again that voice shook me, “Aman would have been dead by now, just leaving him because he is with you”. We were all terrified and clueless what the next question would be or it was the end of our journey of life. Sandeep gathered his shattered confidence again and with all his power tried talking; Raj Bhardwaj
Sandeep: “We were heading towards your mourning ceremony, brother”
The answer we received was quite threatening,
Unknown Personality:” No need to be there and make sure never come back to this place”
Sandeep: “So where should we head towards, our home?”
The voice gave us the command to head straight and then a left, one more last time we heard that voice “I reached the limit of my boundaries, I am leaving now”
This creature vanished from the car, the car which was running at about 60
kmph and all the doors and windows closed tightly.
Aman was gripped with high fever for almost a week, it took him a few days to realize that, the creature wasn’t taking his life away.
Untold stories remain as a memory, I believe once in a lifetime we all experience these creatures. The harsh reality is almost everyone who shares such experience is considered to be insane. Paranormal activity is what science declares it as. A big question mark to the entire human race, “Are we the only creature that controls the world or there would be much more intelligent living beings?”. Every religion has its own definition of such creatures and certainly have facts to support their theories, but are we really ready to handle them, control them or even identify their presence. I heard a lot about the professionals who are capable of identifying the paranormal activities at a particular place when someone complains about it. I mean these creatures (kindly forgive me for the word usage, I really did not find a relevant word to not offend anyone.) are powerful enough to showcase their presence. It is hard to reveal the places or movements made by them. Who knows the room you live in, is occupied with unwanted guests and the vision that we feel proud of does not even identify ‘them’. At times we do ignore the negative vibes or goosebumps while passing through an abandoned house, is that an inbuilt indication for a human body to recognize ‘them’?
It’s just Another Little Thing we ignore and never try getting true answers to it, let’s not just remain bookish but explore the world and the universe with our own experiences.
Food for thought: Are we surrounded by these ‘Ghosts’? if they do not have physical existence, how can they make an appearance? One of the theories mentioned that these creatures reappear due to emotional attachment with living beings, but if they do not have physical brain, then how come they carry emotional feelings?
