Story6 That mysterious place

Not too far from my house, there is a road that remains dark even during the daytime due to the thick bamboo cover surrounding it. It has gained quite a reputation over the years, with many people believing it to be haunted. However, despite its eerie reputation, people still pass through this road as there is no other way to reach the main town. Let me share a couple of real incidents that occurred in this place when I was in my schooling days.

It was a fine evening around 7 pm, and my brother and I were engrossed in watching TV while our parents were in the kitchen preparing dinner. Suddenly, we heard screams echoing through the air, filled with threats like "I'll kill you! Let go of me!" Alarmed by the commotion, my entire family rushed outside to see what was happening and who was in distress. To our surprise, we witnessed a bizarre scene unfold before our eyes.

There were four policemen struggling with a fifth officer who appeared to be possessed by an evil spirit. The possessed officer was desperately trying to enter a long concrete sewage pipe, which was rumored to be haunted. My father instinctively rushed forward to assist the other officers, while one of them hurriedly ran to call for backup. Eventually, around ten additional policemen arrived at the scene, but even with their combined efforts, it proved challenging to control the possessed officer. They resorted to tying him up and letting him sit down until he lost consciousness. Eventually, they took him to the nearby police quarters. The entire village seemed to have gathered at the site, intrigued by the supernatural event.

Nearly a year later, a similar incident occurred on the same road. It was around 11 pm when a man, visibly intoxicated, was caught in the clutches of the evil spirit. His anguished screams filled the night air, repeatedly pleading, "Let me die! Let me die!" Initially, we assumed it was just another drunken individual causing a ruckus. However, as hours passed and he continued his distressing cries, we realized there was something more sinister at play.

Alarmed, we summoned our neighbors for help and rushed to the scene. To our shock, we found the man lying inside the sewage pipe, his eyes closed but his screams unabated. Several men, including my father, approached him, attempting to communicate and offer assistance. Suddenly, he jolted awake and sprinted with incredible speed back into the concrete pipe, where he sat quietly, refusing to come out. We immediately called the police, and soon a crowd of concerned villagers and authorities gathered around the area.

Three brave policemen ventured into the pipe to retrieve the disturbed man, who now shouted vehemently, "Leave me alone! This is my home; let me stay here!" Eventually, they managed to bring him out and escorted him back to his house. These incidents shook our community, leaving everyone bewildered and frightened.

Days later, the villagers decided to perform sacred rituals to cleanse the area of any negative energy. During the ritual, a significant event occurred—some bamboo plants surrounding the road unexpectedly snapped, as if signaling the departure of the malevolent spirit. Taking this as a sign, the villagers promptly cut down all the bamboo in the vicinity. Unfortunately, I couldn't witness this particular day as I had already left for boarding school.

In recent years, although there have been no further incidents involving evil spirits, the area has become notorious for vehicle accidents. This has rekindled the belief among the locals that the malevolent spirit has returned, and rumors and speculations have once again begun to circulate. My family and I consider ourselves fortunate, as despite living in close proximity to the haunted road, we have been fortunate enough to escape any harm by the grace of God. We remain cautious and vigilant while passing through that area, aware of the lingering unease that surrounds it. we don't really knows why is the place haunted but it is said that before there use to live a girl and a father and one day the father died due to some sickness and days later the girl committed suicide. that is the reason people said this place is haunted.

Although another new road has been constructed, the old road is still frequently used by people. However, I haven't heard any news about it in recent years. This is the real story about the haunted place in my village and the actual incident I witnessed during my school days.
