Real Indian Ghost Story: Uncle Verma and the Haunted Road

The story I am going to tell you today is not my experience but I have heard this tale from my friend and seriously, I got goose bumps and chills. That is why I am sharing this story with you. Now read on carefully.

The haunted road

This story is of Mr. Verma (my friend's uncle) whom I do not know personally, and this story is 9 or 10 years old. Mr. Verma was a government officer and was living in a small village in Himachal Pradesh in India with his family. His office was 10 to 12 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 opening of new financial year, so government officers have to work late nights to complete pending logs and files.
It was around 11:30 at night when he came out of the office and it was raining heavily. Uncle always used to travel on the 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 would happen, and those stories were all just rumors and nothing else. It was a chilling, windy, rainy night. The trees were shaking due to the force of wind and were making horrible noises. Uncle was frightened, shivering with cold, and started chanting Sri Hanuman Chalisa (an Indian holy song).
He safely traveled some kilometers and forgot that he was frightened. He noticed that it was just about to be morning. He thought that he was safe, but suddenly he looked at his watch and 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 so he relaxed and sped up his bike. After approximately 10 minutes of riding, he noticed a lady on the right side of the road asking for a lift. At first, he thought that she was in real need, and then suddenly something struck his mind and he again sped up his bike. Then again after driving for 5 minutes, he saw the same lady asking for a lift. Mr. Verma said, "Oh my God, how come she is here, as she was around half a kilometer back?" Uncle's body started shaking with fear, and he just forgot about God and thought that this was something unusual. He again sped up his bike, as he wanted to reach home as soon as possible before anything bad happened to him.

A lonely road. Now how it will be in night. You don't know what's in store for you on the next turn.

After some time, again he noticed the same lady asking for a lift and she screamed for help saying, "PLEASE HELP ME! I am lost here. Please stop!" She was wearing a red saree with heavy jewelry but Uncle did not stop and said to himself, "I am going to die today."
The lady started running with the bike and saying, "Vermaji please stop and take me with you. I want to go home." Uncle was more horrified when she called his name. He was riding the bike at a speed of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour at that time and was shivering like hell. Uncle sped up but it was not possible as there was some strong force from behind that was stopping him from getting away. The lady started laughing and crying at the same time and said, "I died at this same road many years back and it's your time today." Her face changed from sweet and innocent to scary and weird. Uncle Verma 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 Uncle Verma for another 2 kilometers or so and after that, he reached a place where some guards were sitting at a campfire. Uncle just stopped the bike in front of them and had some water from them. He told them what happened to him, and they all said, "You have done a very good job by not stopping the bike because if you did, you would not have been alive by now." The oldest guard told Uncle, "I have lived here for the last ten years, and I have heard about more than 50 accidents of cars and bikes on that haunted road." He told Uncle that "God is with you that is why you are alive."
So, friends, I believe in ghosts, spirits, and the paranormal, as I believe in the Almighty God. I have heard about many ghost stories like this here in India from many of my friends.
Take care...!

Yes, E-Wallets are better than cash: How to setup and use e-wallets.

There is chaos on the street, in the banks, ATMs and petrol pumps. We expect the scene to remain the same for coming days or weeks. But there is an easy way out of this, especially for all those who have a smartphone. Tuesday, November 8, was a usual day till about 8pm in the evening when PM Modi said that  Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will cease to be legal tenders from the midnight in India. That was the midnight of November 8. What followed that decision, presumably made to fight black money, has been a blurry slideshow of long queues outside ATMs, petrol pumps and just about everywhere. While many smartphone users are aware of mobile wallets and are probably using them, many are not. And even those who are using mobile wallets probably don't know all the uses of these apps at present. If a mobile wallet like Paytm is used to its full potential, you will not even need to carry cash, except for some situations. If you think it is an overstatement, keep on reading...

Paddington 2 (2017)

Image
Back in 2014, Paddington came out of absolutely nowhere to become one of my favourite films of the year, a real family treat that was warm, pitch perfect and genuinely laugh out loud funny. As with any great cinematic success these days, a sequel was inevitable, and three years later we have Paddington 2 , a straight forward title that I hoped would stick to the straight forward and satisfying formula that served its predecessor so very well. I’m pleased to report that, although Paddington 2 doesn’t quite manage to replicate the perfect magic of the first in the series, it is still without a doubt one of the best family films of the year. The narrative follows Paddington (Ben Whishaw) as he finds himself in a spot of trouble after being wrongly convicted of stealing a precious book, and his journey is both helped and hindered by a mixture of familiar characters and new additions, all of whom only serve to make the film even more enjoyable. In terms of tone, the fil...
