Location: Darjeeling.
Resident of: Kolkata.
There are many undiscovered facts that go parallel to the real world.. Thefollowing story relates such an incident. I was in a hostel in darjeeling for few months before my parents shifted there. I won't name the school but its a quite renowned one.
A month or so was gone since I took admission in the new school. Our first term exams were to begin and I had to study a lot as usual. So I decided to stay up in the study room a bit more than we were scheduled to. Everybody were gone, I requested the caretaker of that particular building to allow me for some more time and he agree to let me study for another hour. It was like 9:30pm or so,I thought of going back to our dormitory. In order to reach the dorm either I had to cross the misty field or take the shortcut through the jungle. It was so misty that I could hardly see beyond 2 to 3 feet. So I decided to play my mouth-organ that I always had in those days, took my torch out and went down the stairs that lead to the field.
There was an uncanny silence in the environment. Dried maple leaves were all over the field, I almost reached the other end of the field when I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I walked fast, the footsteps also followed faster, gathering all my courage I turned back and found no one. Now that was real creepy. I hurried to the hostel building which took me a few minutes from there. I knocked hard on the dorm gate and the Hostel-in-charge Mr. William(not the real name) came out. I didn't say anything to him and went to the third floor, where I and my friends slept. My bed was kept in an awfull place, just in front of the staircase that lead to the deserted top floor. I wished the boy beside me "Good Night" and went to sleep.
I slept but suddenly in the middle of the night I felt suffocated and openedmy eyes. It was as if someone sat on my chest and was trying to chock me. I tried to call my friends but couldn't, as if I was dumb. I couldn't raise my hands my legs, couldn't move my whole body. Somehow I managed to get up and sit upright on my bed and then what I saw was unexpectedly creepy. Something stood just in front of my bed. Something white. Top to bottom white and motionless. I saw itfor hardly five seconds and slept back and pulled the blanket on my head and tried to keep calm. I could hear my own heartbeat, tears rolled down my eyes and I don't remember anything after that. I woke up in the morning but couldn't move. I realised I was late, my eyes were burning, Mr. William stood beside me and as I opened my eyes he touched my forehead and said I have fever.
I was admitted to the school hospital. I remember them taking me there and piercing in saline channels in my arm. Then again I might have fallen asleep. At night I woke up and noticedthe one in the bed just beside me was staring at me. I saw him and sleptagain. The next morning when I wokeup I found my best friend sitting just beside me, I looked towards that bed where that boy sat staring at me but he was not there. Out of curiosity I asked my friend about the one who was admitted there. I further said thatthe boy was staring at me last night. But my friend's answer was the most horrifying one, which not only made me leave the hostel but also the school, he said, the entire hospital building was empty the last night, rather every night, even the sisters don't say at nights there...
SO DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? PREVIOUSLY I DIDN'T, BUT NOW I do
