The Haunted Road!! (Inspired by true events)

SO you believe in Ghosts??

Rahul is a government officer and was living in a village in Orissa in India at that time with his family. His office was 12 or 14 kilometers away from his home and he used to travel by his bike. It was the month of March and you all know that it is a closing time of old financial year and starting of new financial year, so government officers have to work late nights to complete pending logs and files.

It was around 11.45 in the night when he came out of the office and it was raining heavily. Rahul always used to travel by highway but that day, he wanted to take a shortcut because it was raining and he wanted to reach home as soon as possible. That shortcut was a kind of haunted road but he thought that nothing will happen and these all are just rumors and nothing else. It was a chilling windy winter night and rain on top of that. The trees were shaking due to the force of wind and were making horrible noises. Rahul was frightened and started chanting Sri Hanuman Chalisa (an Indian holy song) and safely traveled some kilometers.

After traveling some more kilometers, he forgot that he was frightened and noticed that it is just about to be morning as darkness was getting off. He thought that now he is safe as it is going to be morning but suddenly he looked at his watch and noticed that it was 12.45 am. He said "Oh god how come it is 12.45 a.m. right now as I thought that daylight is just about to come".

Then he noticed that it was not going to be morning but it was moonlight that was confusing him with daylight and then he relaxed and sped up his bike. After approximately 10 minutes of driving, he noticed a lady on the right side of the road asking for a lift. At first, he thought that she is in real need and then suddenly something strike his mind and he again sped up his bike. Again after 5 minutes of driving, he saw the same lady asking for the lift. Rahul said "oh shit how come she is here she was around half a kilometer back. Rahul's body started shaking with fear and he just forgot about God and thought that this is something unusual. He again just sped up his bike, as he wanted to reach home as soon as possible before anything bad happens to him.

After sometime, again he noticed the same lady asking for the lift and this time, she screamed for help saying "PLEASE HELP ME". I am lost here. Please stop. She was wearing a red saree with heavy jewelry but Rahul did not stop and said that "I am going to die today". That lady started running with the bike at almost the same pace and starting saying please stop and take me with you. I wan to go home. Rahul was driving the bike at a speed of 60 to 70 km/hour at that time and was shivering like hell. Rahul sped up but it was not possible as there was some strong force from behind which was stopping him from racing his bike. The lady started laughing and crying at the same time and said "I died at the same road many years back and this is your time today". Her face changed from sweet and innocent to scary and weird. Rahul was so horrified that he started shivering but had not lost his consciousness. He just changed the last gear and moved his arm on the accelerator until the end. He never looked back to see her. She followed Rahul for another 2 kilometers or so and after that, he reached a place where some guards were sitting lighting up campfire. Rahul just stopped the bike in front of them and had some water from them. After having water, he told them what happened to him and they all said that "You have done a very good thing by not stopping the bike because if you would have stopped the bike, you would not have been alive by now." The oldest guard told the Rahul that "I am living over here for the last 10 years and in these 10 years, I have heard about more than 60 accidents of cars and bikes on that haunted road". He told Rahul that "God is with you that is why you are alive".

Rahul was so terrified after that he even was scared to go out of his house alone in dark..

All readers Rest In Peace...
