CH - 4

I had my 4th experience after 2 years of my 3rd encounter with a ghost. I had to go to a town which I had visited once or twice over the last 4 or 5 years. So the town was somewhat familiar to me.

I was staying at a hotel in the heart of the town . In the morning I went out to visit some parties. At two places I had to wait for the officers concerned as they were not available. Any way when they came I met them.

Because coming back without meeting the officers were professional indecency.

Finally, I completed my that day's work at about 6.30pm. I have come to the town from the industrial estate which is about 70 kms from the city. Buses are frequently available to come to the city.

But I was dog tired visiting a number of industries, therefore, I decided to travel comfortably. I stood on the road for a cab. After 15 minutes a cab drew near me and I said ,town " Have more hotel."

He understood and asked me to get in. Two more passengers were sitting inside . One in the front and another by my side. The cab started, the climate was a little chill and I was enjoying it.

I was just looking out at the passing show and relaxing after a day's of hard work. After travelling almost 80% of the distance, the cab stopped for some reason, and the passenger who was sitting in the front got down and again within 2 minutes was getting into the car.

I casually looked at him and was stunned to see his face and features. He was a carbon copy of the driver .There was not even the slightest difference in them. The height, structure of the body, hair style, shape of the forehead, eyes, nose every thing was ditto.

Even the shirt they were wearing were of same colour and design. I simply could not make out how it was possible. Any way, to come to a conclusion and solve the puzzle, I assumed that they might be brothers.

We were 10 kms behind the destination. I saw that the person sitting on my sit was staring at me. I just looked at him, Oh my God, he also resembled the other two. There was not even an iota of difference among them including the colour of their shirts.

I was sure I was travelling in a ghost cab. Under any circumstances they cannot be normal human beings. Surprisingly, within 5 minutes I found myself only with the driver, two other passengers have disappeared from the running cab. I was travelling alone with only the driver.

I really got scared. I was afraid to talk to the driver even, will he stop the cab at my destination ? I started worrying about it when I was almost near my place.

Suddenly 'Bang' I heard a thundering sound, the cab must have hit a stationary bus or a truck. I closed my eyes in fear. When I opened , I found myself standing on the main road.

There was no trace of the cab I had travelled, or any sign of the accident occurred just now. Every thing was normal.

I thanked God that I was absolutely safe. But I could not make out where I was actually. When a bus was approaching i realized that I was standing at the place where I was. I was still standing at the bus stand of the industrial estate.

I realized that my sitting in the cab, travelling and reaching my destination and finally the big bang were nothing but illusion.

I then ran and got into the bus, I came to my hotel in the city. When I discussed the matter with the Manager, he said, " yes, there was an accident 2 weeks ago between a cab and a bus at the industrial estate, the driver died on the spot "

"So, sir you faced the evil spirit of the dead driver, but thank God, you are SAFE."

I thanked God that still, I am alive.
