GHost around the house


Goose Bumps starts to show up everytime we hear a " Alien Landing near the fields", " the crop formation" , "2012 Dec 12" even a Haunted house near by or even a small news or TV Show describing a paranormal activity somewhere.Leaving the part that we believe or don't believe the story or not, its A short lived feeling that leaves you awake a whole night or till the time our Adrenalin settles down.

It is a secluded house about 2 KM from the nearest shop, a rather small beautiful house surrounded by grass 3 ft tall on all three sides and a muddy road that links the house to the Human World 2 KMs away. Though the House had all the modern comforts invented by the human brain like electricity phone lines and definitly the Cable Tv included in the list , the house always gave a feeling it had entered a Time Machine of some sort and landed a few centuries back in time.
The house has its owners living in it , a old man and his wife who seem to have got married a bit late than the usal age of 25~27 as their son was still in his early teen age and the parents were looking more like his grand-parents than parents.

The sky showed no signs of mercy on the land below ,as it has been raining cats and dogs for the past few days . With no school/ college to keep the teen busy he was locked up in his house with his parents . With nothing much to do all sat for their chit chats with a cup of coffee in their hands and what other topic will be as interesting as the Paranormal stuff. The topic went around a lot of stories from personal experiences of the parents and what they read in news papers and the teen with all his attention was listening to his parents all the time.Soon their conference on " paranormal world" was inturupted by a long disturbing ring on the mobile.Dad got the message of his best friend has met with an accident and so both the mom and dad decided to to give him a visit that evening itself.

The clock struck thirty past five and it looked more like the middle of night as the sun had long gone for the day. The teen stood near the main door waving at his parents & soon the tail lamps of the car faded in the high grasses and the teen walked back into his house.Home is definitely paradise for any teenager that too when their parents are not at home and they are " HOME ALONE".He got busy with the phone , there was nothin much he can do neither can he invite any friends as it was raining and more over he didn't know how long will his parents take to return.

With nothin much to do the teen surrendered himself infornt of the " Idot Box" surfing through the 100's of channels and nothing caught his attention.He could feel "THe thoery of realativity" in action, nothing seem to move most importantly the clock , in short he was bored.Suddenly he was reminded of a show on "GHosts " at 8:30 so he tuned in the channel and this time the channel caught his real attention. The show showed some disturbing images of a ghost which they claim is real and haunts houses which are alone . The victim describes the process" I heared foot steps around my house and i was alone, I checked outside and didn't see anything and the moment i stepped back into my house i was hit by an invissible force and i was hopitalised for about a week and every night i used to see this image close to me trying to hit me again....."

The teen was on the edge of his chair as the incident waas reported from a place somewhat close to where his house was.The show was over by 9:00 and he again went near the phone to call his friend and was able to hear the same foot steps going around his house in the marshy grass land. " is that a ghost or a robber? or can it be my parents who are back ...... but i dint hear the car stopping , NO it cant be my pareants may be its a robber" With no idea of what the robber is armed with he mustured up his courage to cover his trembling voice and shouted there " Who is it there?" but there was no reply from the dark . He peeped out through the window, it looked as if there was a black curtain in front of his window and he could'd make out anything in that darkness. Within few min the same foot steps was heared on the other side of the house this time he was convinced that this is the ghost what he saw in the show. " this should be the ghost , NO i will not open the door and let in that thing inside my house orelse i will defenitly get hit by it" he was trying to find good reasons for not having the courage to step out of the house.

The night seem full of life he was able hear all kinds of sounds around him. Other that the sound of the fan that was running over his head and the frogs in the grass land around his house he was not able to make out what was the source of the other sounds " May be beetles.... birds of unseen shape and size ....a rather big one...or few hundreds of them . " his fear took his imagination to new levels. He started sweating like it was summer, it was a unusual silence he was experiencing amongst all those scary noise , the phone broke the silence with its continious ringing " hope the ghost is not like the one in the film "THe Ring " " his fear found new heights with him comparing every event with what he has heared seen in films and read. with much hesitation he attended the call and he was really relieved hearing his dad's voice " Son, we have started and hope you had your dinner, if not dont wait for us and do switch Off the now TV and go to bed its 10:30 , I was trying to call you 7~8 and it was enngaged , I know what you were doing .... and if this time the phone bill hits a record high please dont expect me to pay the bill...." and before dad could continiue the boy inturu[ted " Dad, Im hearing strange noise around our home , I could not see anyone and i think its a robber, im scared ,please come soon" That was more than enough to make his dad understand the his son is facing so he instructed him to remain indoors and not to open the door unless he hear his voice outside and to keep all lights switched on.

The wait was painfull and the half an hour felt like a hundred years. The long wait was eneded by the sweet news brought by the Car HOrn in the distance and soon the window pane was lit by its light. The Teen ran to the door just waiting to hear his dad call his name and the moment he heard it he opened the door with a flash. The dad was quick to respond he asked his soon to bring a Torch to inspect the surrounding for a robber though the son felt it was a ghost he didnt want to show his fear of ghosts to his dad. As the went around the house they met that black looking creature , it stared at both of them witha wild eye and looked rather tired though its horns were scary the creature posed no harm to them.

BOth the son and dad came back to the house and started laughing " So SOn i didnt know that BUffalows are robbers, " the poor farm animal had lost its way and was going around the house to eat the grass that made all the problems in the teens head.
