Raju and his Friends played Ojha Board Game!

 

Raju, Prem, and their two friends, Rohan and Ankit, were looking for something exciting to do on a boring Saturday night. They decided to break out an old Ojha board game that Raju had found at a garage sale. None of them had ever played an Ojha board game before, but they had heard that it was a game that could summon spirits and communicate with the dead. They were skeptical but excited to try it out. They gathered around the board, lit a few candles, and began to play. As they moved the pointer around the board, they asked questions to the spirits, hoping for a response. At first, nothing happened. They thought that the game was just a hoax, and they were about to pack it up and go home. However, as they continued to play, they began to feel a chill in the air. The candles flickered, and the room grew colder. Suddenly, the pointer began to move on its own. It spelled out words and phrases that none of them had typed. They were terrified, but they could not look away. They continued to play, asking questions, and getting answers from the board. As the night went on, the answers from the board became more sinister. They spoke of death and destruction, and the pointer moved with more force than before. They tried to stop playing, but the board seemed to have a hold on them. They heard strange noises coming from the walls and saw shadows moving in the corners of the room. They felt a presence in the room, a force that they could not explain. Suddenly, the candles went out, and the room was plunged into darkness. They were trapped in the room, unable to see a way out. They heard footsteps coming towards them, and they knew that they were not alone. The room was filled with a cold mist, and they could hear whispers in their ears. They were terrified, and they knew that they had made a mistake by playing the game. As the night wore on, they tried to escape the room, but they were blocked at every turn. The spirits seemed to be taunting them, playing with them like a cat with a mouse. They finally managed to escape the room, but they were forever changed by the experience. They knew that they had encountered something that they could not explain, something that was beyond their understanding. They vowed never to play the Ojha board game again, and they warned others about the dangers of playing with forces that they could not control. They knew that they had been lucky to escape with their lives, and they would never forget the horror that they had experienced that night.

John and William in an abandoned haunted hospital!

 John and William were two friends who loved adventure and exploring the unknown. They had heard rumors about an abandoned hospital on the outskirts of their town that was rumored to be haunted. Despite the warnings of others, they decided to investigate the hospital and explore its secrets. As they arrived at the hospital, they were struck by its eerie appearance. The windows were boarded up, and the walls were covered in graffiti. The hospital had been abandoned for many years, and nature had begun to reclaim the area around it. Undeterred by the warnings of others, John and William found a way to enter the hospital. As they made their way through the dark corridors and empty rooms, they felt a sense of unease. They heard strange noises and saw shadows moving in the corners of their eyes. As they continued to explore, they suddenly heard a loud banging sound. It was coming from a nearby room, and they decided to investigate. As they entered the room, they were suddenly surrounded by a cold chill. They realized that they were not alone in the room. Suddenly, they saw a ghostly figure emerge from the shadows. It was a young child, dressed in a hospital gown. At first, they were frightened, but they soon realized that the child was not a threat. The child seemed to be trying to communicate with them, but they could not understand what it was saying. As they continued to explore the hospital, they realized that they were trapped. All the doors and windows were locked, and there seemed to be no way out. They tried to force open the doors, but they were sealed shut. They were trapped in the hospital, surrounded by ghosts and spirits. As they sat in despair, the ghostly child suddenly appeared before them. The child spoke to them, telling them that it was trapped in the hospital, just like them. The child had been a patient in the hospital, and it had died there many years ago. The child's spirit had remained behind, trapped in the hospital, unable to move on. The child told them that they had to escape the hospital before the other ghosts and spirits could harm them. The child showed them a way out, but they would have to face the other ghosts to reach the exit. The child promised to help them, and they agreed to follow its lead. As they made their way through the hospital, they were confronted by other ghosts and spirits. They were terrifying, and John and William felt as though they were going to die. However, the ghostly child appeared before them and chased away the other ghosts and spirits. John and William finally made it out of the hospital, but they were shaken by the experience. They knew that they had been saved by the spirit of the child, and they were grateful for its help. As they drove away from the hospital, they knew that they would never forget the terrifying experience. They were lucky to have escaped, thanks to the help of the ghostly child. From that day on, they vowed never to enter a haunted building again. They had learned their lesson and knew that some things were better left alone.

Couple Trapped In Ghost Town of Kuldhara!

Rajesh and Mina had always been fascinated by the history and stories of Rajasthan. They were both avid readers and loved to explore new places. So, when they heard about the abandoned village of Kuldhara, they decided to visit it on their next vacation. They set out on their journey with their seven-year-old son Rahul. As they drove towards the village, they noticed that the road became rougher and the surroundings became darker. They had read that the village was abandoned by its inhabitants in a single night, leaving behind a curse that still haunted the place. However, they were skeptics and didn't believe in such superstitions. As they entered the village, they were struck by its eerie silence. The buildings were in ruins, and the streets were deserted. Rajesh and Mina started exploring the village, taking pictures and marveling at the architecture of the old buildings. Rahul was excited and ran around, exploring everything he could find. As the sun began to set, they realized they had stayed too long and needed to find a place to spend the night. However, they soon realized that they were trapped in the village. The roads that had brought them in had disappeared, and they were surrounded by a thick mist that made it impossible to see anything beyond a few feet. They tried to find a way out, but the village seemed to have no exit. The more they tried, the more they felt as though they were being watched. They heard strange noises, and their flashlights began to flicker. Rajesh and Mina started to panic, and Rahul was now scared and crying. They tried to calm him down, but the more they tried, the more frightened they became. As they huddled together, they heard a faint whisper, followed by a loud scream. Suddenly, the ghosts of the village appeared before them. They were a group of people dressed in old-fashioned clothing, and they looked angry and vengeful. Rajesh and Mina realized that the stories they had heard were true, and they were now trapped in the middle of a haunted village. The ghosts started to close in on them, and they had no choice but to run. They ran through the deserted streets, dodging the ghosts that were trying to grab them. They finally stumbled upon an old abandoned building, which seemed to be their only hope of shelter. They ran inside and locked the door behind them. The building was old and musty, but at least they were safe from the ghosts outside. However, as they settled in, they realized that they were not alone. The building was also haunted, and they could hear strange noises coming from all around them. Rajesh, Mina, and Rahul were now trapped inside the building, surrounded by ghosts on all sides. They knew that they had to find a way out before it was too late. They searched for a way out, but all the doors and windows were locked. Finally, they discovered a hidden passage that led out of the building. They followed the passage, hoping that it would lead them out of the village. As they walked, they saw strange symbols and markings on the walls, which they assumed were part of the curse that had befallen the village. At last, they emerged from the passage and saw a faint glimmer of light in the distance. They ran towards it, hoping that it was the way out. As they approached, they realized that it was the same road that had led them into the village. They were overjoyed and ran towards their car, hoping to escape the cursed village once and for all. They drove away as fast as they could, leaving the haunted village behind them. As they drove away, they knew that they would never forget the terrifying experience they had just gone through. From

Two Friends in The Jungle and Zombies!

Raja and Sunil had been best friends since childhood. They were both adventurous and loved exploring new places. So, when they decided to go on a trek in the dense jungle of Amazon, they were excited and couldn't wait to embark on their journey.

 

They packed their bags, took all the necessary equipment, and set out on their journey. They walked for hours through the thick jungle, taking in the beauty of the flora and fauna around them. They saw some strange-looking plants and animals that they had never seen before.

 

As they were walking, they heard a loud noise. They stopped and looked around, trying to figure out what it was. Suddenly, a group of zombies appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them. Raja and Sunil were terrified and didn't know what to do.

 

They tried to run, but the zombies were too fast for them. They were trapped, and the zombies were closing in on them. They could hear the zombies' moans and groans, and it sent shivers down their spines.

 

As they were about to give up hope, Raja discovered something magical. He found a glowing stone, and as soon as he touched it, he felt a surge of energy running through his body. He realized that the stone had given him some magical powers.

 

Raja concentrated and focused his energy on the zombies. He closed his eyes and visualized a wall of fire surrounding them. Suddenly, a huge wall of fire appeared, and the zombies were unable to cross it. They were trapped on the other side, and Raja and Sunil were safe.

 

They were amazed by what had just happened. Raja had discovered a magical power, and they were able to escape from the zombies. They continued their journey, and as they walked deeper into the jungle, they encountered more challenges.

 

They came across a river, and the only way to cross it was to climb a tree and swing across. Sunil was scared and didn't want to do it, but Raja used his magical powers to create a bridge across the river. They were able to cross the river safely.

 

As they continued their journey, they faced many more challenges, but Raja's magical powers helped them overcome them. They encountered wild animals, steep cliffs, and dense forests, but they were able to navigate through them with ease.

 

Finally, after days of walking, they reached the end of the jungle. They were tired and exhausted, but they were happy that they had completed their journey successfully.

 

Raja and Sunil realized that their friendship had become stronger during this journey. They had faced many challenges, but they had overcome them together. They knew that they would always be there for each other, no matter what.

 

From that day on, Raja's magical powers became a part of their adventures. They continued to explore new places and face new challenges, but with Raja's powers, they knew that they could overcome anything. They had discovered the true meaning of friendship and adventure.

The crescent hotel


This story takes place in Eureka Springs Arkansas. The town itself is known as being a "haunted town" (Maybe it's all the limestone they have). It's a tourist town located in the Ozark Mountains in northern Arkansas. If you have never been here, it is definitely a place to visit and one of the most famous places to visit here in this small Victorian town is an old hotel which is set on top of a beautiful mountain. It is known as the 1886 Crescent Hotel. This hotel is known as one of the most haunted places in the United States. My husband and I have visited this hotel on at least 5 occasions (we live only 45 minutes away, and I feel addicted to this place. I always feel the need to go, as if it's calling me back). Of course, others have explored and toured this hotel as well, including TAPS (ghost hunters). Here is a little back story on the Hotel first: It started construction in 1884. Now keep in mind, this was a time when the "healing waters" of the Ozarks had become well known across the nation. People from near and far were swarming to the area in hopes of curing their ailments and easing their pains. The developers of the Crescent Hotel & Spa planned to take advantage of these many travelers by building the most luxurious resort in the country. Immediately, the well-to-do of the nation began to flock to the luxurious resort hotel. Once there, the guest could not only enjoy the healing waters of the spa, but also a stable of 100 sleek-coated horses, tea dances in the afternoon, and elaborate parties every evening with a full in-house orchestra. However, the prosperity was not to last. After the turn of the century, people began to realize that the acclaimed "healing waters" didn't have the curative powers that the hotel and the city were so known for. Little by little, people stopped coming to the beautiful resort. From 1908 to 1924, the building was utilized as the Crescent College and Conservatory for Young Women. However, after operating for 16 years, the revenues from tuition was not high enough to maintain the costs of running the large building and the Women's College closed. After sitting abandoned for the next six years it briefly reopened as a junior college from 1930 to 1934. In 1937 a man named Norman Baker arrived on the scene and bought the aging hotel for the purpose of opening a cancer hospital and health resort. Advertising miracle cures that required neither surgery nor painful extensive tests, the Baker Hospital, alleged that its patients would walk away from the "resort" cancer-free. However, what was unknown to the many desperate patients who flocked to the hospital was that Norman Baker's "miracle" was nothing more than a scam that he had been purporting on unsuspecting patients for years. The man had absolutely no medical training and had been convicted in Iowa in 1936 for practicing medicine without a license! (Scary huh?) Also, the American Medical Association had condemned the many elixirs that were sold for a number of different ailments, including cancer. While operating the "hospital" Baker was being investigated by federal authorities and in 1939 was finally arrested for mail fraud. One US Postal Inspector estimated that Baker had made as much as $500,000 per year, selling his "miracle elixirs" through the mail while in Eureka Springs. Baker was convicted to serve a four year sentence in Leavenworth. The investigation revealed that over the years Baker had defrauded cancer patients out of approximately $4,000,000. It has been said that many of Bakers patients never returned home after checking in for "treatments". However, more than a dozen people ended up missing. As the story goes, Baker had each of his dying patients write to their loved ones to tell them that they had been cured, and were going to leave the center (and for some reason they were never seen again). He never admitted to killing anyone, but after Baker's death in 1958, a nurse who worked with Baker said that the people who died from "treatments" were most likely buried on the property somewhere after their agonizing deaths. Over the next several years, the hotel passed through several hands as repairs and more restorations were made. On September 6, 2002, After 5 million dollars in renovations, the grand hotel had been fully restored to its original stately glory. Now, on to the paranormal stuff: Staff and guests alike tell stories of a number of ghosts that are still said to inhabit this beautiful old hotel. The most often sighted apparition is that of a red-haired Irish stonemason, who the staff has dubbed "Michael". Allegedly, Michael was one of the original masons who worked on the building of the hotel in 1885. However, while working on the roof he lost his balance and fell to the second floor area and was killed. This area now houses Room 218 of the hotel and is said to be the most haunted guestroom. Michael is often being heard pounding loudly on the walls. Others have witnessed hands coming out of the bathroom mirror and heard cries of what sounded like a man falling in the ceiling. Yet other guests have been shaken during the night, and on one occasion a man ran screaming from the room, professing to have seen blood splattered all over its walls! The lingering spirit of a nurse, dressed all in white, is often seen pushing a gurney on the third floor. Only spotted after 11:00 p.m., the time which they used to move the deceased out the cancer hospital, the ghostly spirit vanishes when she reaches the end of the hallway. Others who have not seen the apparition have reported the sounds of squeaks and rattles that sound like a gurney rolling down the hallway. Now here's something incredibly creepy. The basement of this Hotel, was once used as the morgue, and this area still houses "Dr" Baker's old autopsy table and walk-in freezer! Also located on the third floor is the laundry area, where a hotel maintenance man once witnessed all of the washers and dryers inexplicably turning on by themselves in the middle of the night. The hotel's Crystal Dining Room, is another place in the hotel that is said to contain frequent paranormal activities. Here, other Victorian dressed apparitions have often been encountered. Many have seen groups of 1890's dancers, in full-dress attire, whirling around the room in the wee hours of the morning. Other reports tell of a 19th century gentleman who has been seen sitting at a table near the windows. When approached, he says, "I saw the most beautiful woman here last night and I am waiting for her to return." The apparition of the greedy "Doctor Baker" himself, has also been seen in the old Recreation Room in the basement and at the foot of the first floor stairway. Dressed in a purple shirt and white linen suit, and looking somewhat confused, the apparition appears identical to old photographs of the infamous "quack". Another remnant of the old hospital days is a ghostly figure who calls herself "Theodora." Most often seen by housekeepers in Room 419, Theodora courteously introduces herself as a cancer patient, before quickly vanishing. One other often reported spirit is that of a young female who once attended the Crescent College and Conservatory for Young Women. According to the tale, the young girl either jumped from, or was pushed from a balcony to her death. Today, guests report hearing her screams as she falls. On my first visit to this historic hotel I entered the lobby and was greeted by a cold burst of air. My husband and mother were both with me at the time and neither of them felt the cold rush that I got. While in the lobby, a female guest was complaining to the front desk that she kept getting a text message every few hours on her phone, but there was no number there. The text kept saying 12-31-01. She couldn't understand it. The front desk told her that he was baffled as well; however, the Hotel was closed on that exact date because of a terrible ice storm and the people who were staying at the Hotel were stuck there for a good week. That just freaked her out and she returned to her room. I immediately went in to use the bathroom (after hearing how haunted it was) and was a little disappointed. Nothing ghostly happened in there. The Hotel, however, was beautiful. The spiral type staircase went from the basement to the 4th floor. On our way up the stairs all 3 of us got the feeling of vertigo and my husband started feeling sick. He said it was like an inner ear infection or something. He just felt so incredibly dizzy. As we made our way to the 2nd floor, we decided to ditch the stairs and use the elevator (big mistake). I got in the elevator and instantly got the feeling as if I was going to have an immediate panic attack, and I don't have panic attacks! I told them that I would take the stairs and meet them on the 4th floor to see the beautiful view. I kept finding myself holding on to the railing for dear life. I passed another guest on the stairs who was having the same problem. He laughed as he passed me and said, "You know a 5-year-old died a while back on this very staircase. He was on the 4th floor and had an inner ear infection. He lost his balance and fell all the way down to the basement. Died instantly. Since then these stairs have been impossible to climb without hanging on." I thought... "Inner ear infection?! That's what my husband mentioned and we had no idea about that." Scary. Upon reaching the 4th floor, I noticed there was a nice little restaurant and bar up there, right across from what used to be Dr Baker's office! It was even labeled as such. They also had old diagrams hanging on the wall of the human body that Dr Baker used to use. That really freaked me out. My mother said that most of the weird happenings are probably brought on by the fact that they still have all of that old stuff from when it was a hospital. Somehow that would not surprise me. The view was gorgeous from the 4th floor. We took a lot of pictures in and out of the hotel. I got lots of orbs and weird specks of light. You can Google the Crescent for pictures and see other ghostly pictures that have been taken by others. It's a scary place, but also very awesome place to go ghost hunting. You don't even have to be a registered guest at the hotel to go in and explore. The front desk and housekeepers are used to curious people coming in to see one of the most haunted hotels around. Of all the times we have been to this Hotel, we never saw anything like a ghost pushing a gurney or a woman dressed in a Victorian gown, but on my last visit to the Hotel I kept hearing the name Michael whispered in my ear over and over again. It felt like a guy was following me and whispering in my ear. I think my husband thought I was losing it until he went in to use the bathroom and all of the water faucets came on while he was in there. I was outside the door and no one else came in or out the entire time he was in there. We haven't been back since then, but I would jump at the chance to go right back there again. I am very much intrigued with this place and just love to hear all of the strange paranormal happenings that take place there. Thank you for reading my story. I hope it wasn't too long. If you ever find yourself in northern Arkansas in the Ozark mountains, maybe you'll want a nice haunted place to spend the night:)

Haunted Beach Resort


Anand is my best friend since school and one of the few ones whom I have been in regular touch. Like me, Anand too is interested in the paranormal and we have experienced one such occurrence together as described in my story "The Ghostly Hitchhikers". Anand and I are both Engineers by profession and hence life is very hectic. We rarely get a chance to meet each other though we are in constant touch on phone or via e-mail. This incident happened couple of years back when we were in Mumbai, India. Due to a couple of public holidays in India falling in line together, we had a long weekend of around five days ahead of us. Since we had not taken a holiday for quite sometime due to our busy schedules, my wife immediately suggested that we go to a beachside resort for a couple of days to unwind. I immediately called Anand to check his availability. Anand and his wife Jyo immediately agreed and the plan was finalized within minutes. We decided to go to a beachside resort at Murud which is around 180kms away from Mumbai and takes around 3 hours to reach. Murud has a pristine beach and is a very popular destination among tourists. There is also a fort named Janjira in the middle of the sea. Janjira fort is also famous for being the only fort along India's western coast that remained undefeated. Since all of us are interested in history, it seemed like an interesting proposition for us. Another thing to be noted at this point of time is that Murud is just 7kms from Kashid and one has to pass through Kashid to reach Murud. The highway leading to Kashid is where we had met the Ghostly Hitchhikers a couple of years ago. Though this incident was at the back of our mind, we nevertheless decided to go ahead with our plan. We started for Murud at 7.00 am in Anand's "4X4" SUV. It was a clear morning and we managed to reach the resort at around 10.00am. Anand and I were very careful not to mention our previous experience to our respective spouses since it would frighten them and dampen their spirits. We checked in at the resort which was really very beautiful. It was situated on a hill very close to Murud beach. It had a great sea facing view from the front and a dense forest cover at the back which made us feel one with nature. We immediately rushed to the beach where we had a great time swimming and splashing around in the water. We came back to the resort at around noon, had a quick lunch, rested for a while and then set off to see Janjira fort which we were all anxious to see. The visit to the fort was great and we were back in the hotel by around 8.00pm. After a lavish dinner consisting of several local delicacies we decided to retire to our rooms. I was tired but Anand insisted that we go to his room for a game of cards before hitting the sack. My wife and Jyo too didn't mind and so we went to Anand's room. Immediately after entering his room I suddenly felt a chill in the room which made me feel uneasy. I told Anand about it but he shrugged it aside and suggested that it might be the cool sea side breeze which might have made me feel that way. We played cards for around 2 hours and really had fun. At around 12. 00 am we decided to call it a day. We had however not reckoned that this would be the start of our ordeal and chilling events to follow. The long day had taken its toll on us and my wife and I immediately fell off to sleep. It must have been around 1.30am when I heard a knock on my door. I cautiously opened the door and was surprised to find Anand outside. He looked a little worried and told me that after we left Jyo suddenly started feeling very cold and started shivering. Anand had found it surprising since he felt no such chill. I asked my wife who is a doctor to accompany me to Anand's room with her medicine box. Upon entering his room, I felt uneasy and could immediately sense that something was amiss. Two woolen rugs had been wrapped around Jyo but she was still shivering and her teeth were literally chattering. When my wife examined Jyo, she was stunned to find that though Jyo was feeling feverish and her body had become icy cold. Shrugging aside her fear my wife gave her a couple of tablets which would put her to sleep and give her a much needed rest. We did not want to leave Anand alone in this condition and decided to be with him. This was perhaps the best decision which I took considering the events which happened subsequently. Anand was sitting on the bed, caressing Jyo's hand gently to put her at ease. My wife and I made ourselves comfortable on a couple of chairs available in the room. It was around 3.00 am, my wife had dozed off and I was about to follow suit when something really creepy happened. Jyo suddenly sat up straight in her bed with a look in her eyes which we had never seen before. Anand, who was sitting beside her tried to put his arm around her to comfort her. She suddenly shrugged herself free from Anand, caught him by the neck and pushed him. The force with which Anand was pushed was so great that he was literally flung like a puppet, six feet away from the bed. To do that to a person like Anand who is close to 6"3 inches tall and weighs around 90 kgs really required extraordinary strength. Jyo suddenly said the following words "Mujhe Jaane Do... Jaana hai " (Let me go... I have to go!) This still is a mystery to all of us. The voice that said those words certainly wasn't Jyo's. Jyo stood up as if in trance and was trying to go to the balcony. I have to admire the courage shown by both my wife and Anand at this point of time. Anand and I used all our might and pinned down Jyo to her bed while my wife ran out to get help. We got a couple of housekeeping staff from the hotel in the room within a couple of minutes. I immediately told them to help us shift Jyo to my room. It took five of us to lift Jyoti and shift her to my room. All this while Jyo was only uttering the words "Mujhe Jaane Do... Jaana hai ".As soon as she was laid on the bed in my room things started to return to normal. Jyo stopped resisting and soon fell asleep much to our relief. All of us were shaken by the turn of events. We thanked the bewildered Hotel staff for their help. I noticed that it was around 5.00am at that time and perhaps with the coming of daybreak the hold of the spirit on Jyo had weakened OR Shifting her out of that room had helped. We decided to check out the next morning. Though a little tired, Jyo was perfectly fine the next morning with no recollection of the previous night's events. She was however surprised to find herself in our room. Anand however put her at ease and told her that he would explain everything once we left the hotel. While Anand was settling the hotel bills, I was called aside by one of the hotel staff who, under the condition of anonymity told me that the room had been the scene of a gory incident a couple of months back. A couple had checked in, they had a big fight which lasted late into the night. The man walked out off the room leaving the lady behind. After sometime the lady flung herself from the balcony of the room killing her instantly. The police had made some enquiries but were unable to trace the man who had accompanied her that night. The case was subsequently closed. The housekeeping staff had themselves felt a creepy feeling sometimes in the room, though no incident was reported by any of the occupants who occupied it after that. We decided to let the matter rest but before leaving, advised the manager of the resort to do some sort of purification or a cleansing ritual to free the tormented soul. Whether he performed the ritual or not is not known to us since we did not visit the place again. We were just happy at that moment to have escaped without any harm. Anand subsequently told her the events which had occurred that night. She was shaken at first, but has now come to terms with it. However what would have happened if Anand and I would not have been able to subdue Jyo that night is a thought which still gives me the shivers.

A Drive Back Home


I am sharing one of my recent experiences. Although, I still cannot figure out the reason of this, but it actually happened to me. It was already dark and I was returning from Pune. Tired of driving at a stretch, but fully awake. I was crossing Lonavala, there is a strange thing happens in a section, it's about 500 meters stretch and you will face that the speed of the car starts dropping down, even though you press your accelerators, but nothing happens, the speed drops quickly, even though it's not a climb, it's a straight road. I haven't got the clue of this. But never mind, this is not what I want to share. There is a high accident prone area in the Ghats and you will notice, an accident happens every second day in that road. But surprisingly most of the accidents happen in a particular section of the road only. I noticed an accident on that stretch on Wednesday night while coming from PUNE and something weird happened with me on Thursday night in the same section. While I was driving slowly in the line of other cars, I was drained out in myself with full day's of meeting and work. But it's not that, I was hallucinating because of that. I could clearly remember that, I was alone in my car and suddenly, I saw a man sitting in my back seat. I now also I can remember his face. He was a average looking guy, clean shaven, wearing white shirt, smiling at me. I saw him from my real window and smiled at him. I was surprised, thinking that when I didn't stop my car anywhere, neither given anyone a lift, then how come someone can enter the car. I felt that something was wrong, and when I saw again, there was no one. Still I am not getting the whole situation or incident which happened to me. But then it was not over, I was coming out of this, and then suddenly I saw the same man, running parallel to my car. I got a shock, that how come cars behind me are not blowing horns to him? He came here my front door window and again smiled at me, but this time, I was freezed. It was so much shocking that I forgot that I was driving the car. But fortunately, I recollected what I was doing and got a hold of it. Although, I have a unique interest of reading and experimenting whole lot of paranormal stuffs, but to understand this and give a explanation of such incident is hard for me.
