It was one of the coldest and an agiler night and One of my least favourite nights. Frankly speaking, I am not a person of darkness. The thunders were roaring like lions and the sky had become more darker as if it was planning something evil against me. I could see winged creatures within the storms and clouds above. I wish, if I could stop being so sissy and complete my dare. Yeah! A dare. My weirdo friends wanted to complete our last day of college doing some fun stuffs. So I was asked to roam in the dark streets and talk to the first person I see. As it was raining earlier, the roads were very lonely and i could hardly see any vehicles or person in the road. After a long walk, I saw an old car approaching me.

An old, fragile man came out of the car. He looked very depressed; he continuously was telling me that, “I searched for you everywhere, dear”. Why did you left me? I consoled the old man and said him that you are mistaken uncle, I am not the one you are searching for. He asked me whether I am not Reyna. I said no, I am sera. The old man got upset and was apologizing for his behaviour. I said it was ok. As it was a deserted side street, the old man asked if he could drop me at my place. Even I was afraid of the lonely streets, So I said ‘Yes’.

So, on our way his car broke down. It was very dark that night. The clouds have covered the moon. So, near the jungle we got down from the car, when the old man asked that his house is nearby. We could go there and have some hot coffee. Meanwhile, the driver will get the car done and he can drop me home. The old man does not seem to be well, he was coughing continuously and we were in between the jungles. So, I thought for the sake of him I could go to his home and have some tea. He was really missing his daughter. So, we went there and the old man started telling me about his daughter that how he lost her.

After all, talks, the man suddenly asked, Do you believe in ghosts? I giggled, and said no! I said ghosts do not exist. He then started telling me a story of a old man who lost his daughter and is in search of his daughter. He picks up girls and brings her to his house, which is in the midst of the jungle. Then he brutally kills her. I was not interested in his story as it was getting late. My friendsmust be waiting for me. All these things were in my mind. Suddenly, he said that, “I will go and check whether the car is ready or not”.

When he stood up, I did not see his shadow. In addition, back of him was a mirror. I could see myself but not him. Suddenly, the story got strike in my head and I recalled all the things he said about him and his daughter. As soon as he was gone, I started panicking, and phones were not working in that house. I was so afraid at that time. It was really in the midst of the jungle and was raining. It was the most eerie night of my whole life. I could not believe that was I really thinking much or it was the reality. I never believed in ghosts before that happened with me. I was searching for the old man, but he was vanished too. Soon after that I got out of the house. However, I was still stuck in the woods. I could not find my way out to the main road. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it was my last day. However, somehow I managed to get out of the woods and got a lift that dropped me near my house. The whole time in the jungle, I was getting a feeling that somebody is following me. But, when I turning back, nobody was there.
