This incident is not my personal, my mother encountered it. This incident is one of the five incident that my mother told me. She told me that when she was 15 she used to study late at night as she was preparing for her exams.
Everyone was asleep and she was studying in her room, although she was unable to concentrate so she decided to go out and sit in the veranda situated in her room. She went there and started to concentrate.
It was around 10:45pm when she started to shiver. She was shivering like hell and after a minute or two, she had stopped shivering. She saw that something is coming towards her. It was white smoke that was coming towards her. She was really scared and wanted to shout because it took a face of an old woman, but my mother was frozen in her seat. After a few seconds it vanished.
My mother ran inside her parents' bedroom. Her parents got up and asked her why she was screaming. She narrated the whole incident.
Her mother made her sleep inside her room and her father went there and locked the door. That night my mother was not able to sleep as she was only thinking about that apparition she saw.
Very next day they had a small puja (ritual) in the house to get rid of the unwanted entity. Later my mother and her family found some information about that house that the house was weird or in other words we can say that the house was haunted by a spirit.
Till this day my mother swears for what she saw. She even told me that an uncle was also there in the house that was front of her house, and he too saw that thing.
Thanks for reading the story. Please do comment.
In regards to "black being bad" and "white being good" I completely disagree. That was my first ingrained reaction when I saw black figures as a child. BUT it occurred to me even then "What if that's all wrong?" I mean, there really is no "evil" or "good" as clear cut as many people think. We are all different, but in many ways we are all at root the same. My thoughts were that I wanted to connect with the black figures just as the white ones and understand them. Who cares if it's imagination. It's still a healthy outlook in my mind.
None of us are perfect, yet hostile reactions or opposition in any form can be argued to be just as evil as anything else. I fought my cultural associations of black immediately and welcomed them. I've had no fear of them since, and saw them in a very different light and form.
In my experience it's only the first time you encounter something new, black or white, before you become comfortable with it. Facing the unknown there is almost always fear, followed by reasoning. Next times always fine:)
IF it's real, it suggests the spirit is very real, that our perceptions of time and space, and indeed, ourselves are very wrong, and that we are most likely not alone. You would THINK that if the spirit is real and there were no worries after death, that spirits wouldn't worry about the living though. That wouldn't appear to be the case. We also don't seem to get enough evidence to suggest their presence on a wider scale. Why? There are still things that don't add up. IF spirits are real, are there still problems for them too? Are they policed as we are? Who does the policing? What are the rules? What indeed are the reasons? Many turn to judgement as an answer, but how can someone of pure reason condemn when we are all shaped and grown by events and experience, and interfering in that development is discouraged? We all indeed face different events and opportunities. Judgement based upon that would be a harsh and unfair system would it not.
Faced with that quandry I prefer to maintain that if the spirit exists, it is purely an individual perspective and that the reality is a unified, or sole being or many many facets. We each represent another facet or view, face conflict and difference from our own perspectives, yet rarely acknowledge our nature and commonalities. Lack of acceptance is conflict. Agreement and acceptance is decision.
