On a sunny winter morning, I heard the honking of my school bus; dressed up in my new uniform I hastened to get to my first day in the assembly. Standing in the last queue I noticed a woman in a white cloak crossing from the adjacent window in the dark passage that led to a remote corner of the school. I wondered who it was; what she was doing there; where she was heading to. I had heard many stories from my sister about such mysterious creatures but I felt that these were just rumors, and none of them was true.<\/p>\n
But the sight made me suspicious and the suspicion developed into fear. In order to get rid of it, I thought of taking it head on. I revisited the window in the backyard for three consecutive days but could not see anything unusual. Thereafter, I made it a practice to visit the place during my interval, alone.<\/p>\n
It was a cloudy monsoon day. As usual I went to my customary place, becoming more emboldened by the non-appearance of the mysterious soul. While returning from there, I suddenly chanced to look into the window of the adjacent apartment. A disfigured woman was holding a candle and shrieking; as I looked in that direction, she gestured me to come, giving a cunning smile. As I approached her she vanished but her chuckling sound kept reverberating in my ears, sending shivers down my spine; congealing my blood. Screaming for help I ran into the ground towards my friends who in turn got horrified looking at me. It was from that day onwards that I decided to stop exploring the unexplored, seeing the unseen, and chasing the un-chased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
