Some incidents leave such an impact on your life that it becomes almost impossible to get away from them. It happened few years back when my summer vacation just had begun.

Although most of the people love vacations but somehow, I always liked to be in school. But still vacation was there so the best thing for me to do was to travel to some new place but somehow nothing was getting fixed. And luckily one of my very close friend asked me to join him for visit to his native place. I had heard from him about this place a lot.  This place was pretty far from any city and is situated in the foothills of Himalayas. It was a small village and I heard that it's a beautiful place. So I agreed and getting permission from my Parents was not very difficult as my Family was well acquainted with my friend's family.

I still remember that it was Sunday morning when we started our journey. There was some ceremony function which was about to happen in the evening at their natives and we both were very eager to reach there on time.

And luckily we made it on time to be present in the ceremony function. There were some 25-30 guests and a very traditional kind of setting. I was completely enjoying some delicious countryside food, music and of course the great weather of the Himalayas.

During the course of this party, water got over. Now getting water in such small villages is not an easy task. Luckily our Uncle is an affluent man and he has his own well in the backyard of his house. But this house was a pretty big one, which was attached to their paddy fields.

Somebody from my aunt's family told both of us to get water from the well. The instant I got out in the backyard, I just got horrified, whole of my life I have seen houses, building cars all around our houses in the city. And behind this one there was nothing, it was very dark with some light coming through semi lit moon. Little far from there was uncle's farms which were thick and dark. And the whole place was surrounded by some big old trees. And when I saw the location of that well it was easily hundred meters from us and that whole setting of that well was bloody scary. A very old looking well, tall and thick tree on one side and one small broken store room on the other side. With such an atmosphere around us, we both unanimously decided to let only our aunt go and get the water.

We asked our aunt to send someone else to get the water and we gave some silly excuse for not getting it. So she asked one of her other relatives present there to get the water. My friend's another aunt went to take the water and we again got back to the best part which was eating food.

Just after about 15 minutes, the lady who went to get the water came running into the house and screaming so loud and that scream can simply chill your spine even if you are a very strong hearted person. Suddenly the party was over and everyone surrounded that lady and were curious to know what had happened. She took time to get back to normal but then what she told was unbelievable.

My friend's Aunt said when she went outside near the well, she heard some strange laughs but she ignored it as thought it might be coming from the house. And when she was taking out water from the well she heard the laughing sound again but it was clear that it wasn't coming from the house. She looked around and then she looked on the tree in front of her. She saw a lady sitting on the branch of the tree. She was old and was wearing completely white clothes and her whole body was glowing in the darkness. And when aunt saw her, then she started laughing more loudly and she looked straight back into her eyes. Aunt said she almost got frozen and she tried to move back from there but she couldn't.

And then that old lady sitting on the tree suddenly jumped from there and started running towards her. She didn't stop laughing and her eyes were glued on her. Then the lady came running and jumped directly into the well and still she kept on laughing until she got drowned into the water. Then we all knew what happened.

We all heard her story but were still not sure how to react to the situation. And then she saw a picture on the wall in the house. And she cried that was the same lady she saw outside. And members of the family told that the lady in the picture is their great granny and they also said that no body ever knew how she died.

That night no one slept. And I, along with my friend and his family, returned back next morning.
