This has been an unforgettable experience in my life. I had never imagined I would see such a day. It's a story about the time when I used to live in my village with my grand pa and grand ma. I used to go to school in a quite remote area with my friends. I have always heard of black magic and ghost stories but  always took them for a joke. My grandmother always said that many people practiced black magic in our locality.

On that particular day, we were coming back from school when we saw ten rupees coins in the middle of a  crossroad. At that time we of course didn't bother about silly superstitions. We picked them up, and nothing  strange happened to us on our way. But I was not aware of what was waiting for me. At night, around 10:30, I was resting  in my room. I saw the coin once and put it near my head, suddenly I felt someone playing with my hair. I didn't  bother about that and thought that I was imagining things.

There was a big mirror in the right side of my bed. But when I turned to the right, I saw a white woman looking  dreamily in the mirror at me! Before I did something, I felt she was trying to grab my throat, I tried but could not shout. Struggling, I somehow came out from my room and entered my grand pa's room. He was reading  Ramayana at that time as he did daily. I did not say anything  that time just slept there.

In the morning, when I talked about it to my grandmother she immediately called the priest who did many rituals  with a yellow lemon which significantly turned in a reddish type of colour. Then he asked me whether my hair was  loose or not. And effectively it was. He said that it followed me by holding my hair. Then I realized that the stories  about roaming spirits that my grandparents used to narrate were in fact true !

Not Bad Abhishek, infact story is simple, crisp but very effective... If someone is able to picture your story then it is definitely scary...
