Of Ghostly Apparitions and Spooky Experiences !!!

You may have heard many people say, "I don't believe in ghosts. There's no such thing as ghosts." I have nothing against them. They are free to hold their views and beliefs about matters supernatural. I don't want to impose my knowledge and beliefs on anyone. However, I have seen strange apparitions myself and met people who have seen some and been through such spooky experiences. Two days ago, I visited Robin, my brother- in -law in the southern outskirts of Kolkata city to help him sort out some property related matters. While we conversed on various topics before dinner, he narrated his ghost experiences he had had first as a student and later as a teacher in the St. Joseph's School and Boarding of the parish. “One night, at about midnight”, He told, “Four men emerged from the north-western corner of the school compound. They were dressed in white dhoti and panjabi (traditional dress of Bengali gentlemen). They were all tallish in appearance. They were walking across the school football ground, to the south-eastern corner, where there were some big trees. There was no house in that corner of the playground. I was curious where those gentlemen were headed. I got down to the playground and followed them at a distance. But when they were under the trees they just vanished in the thin air. I looked around, looked up the branches, no one was there. I realized it was a ‘different matter’ (onno bepar) altogether. I began to have goose bumps. I turned and rushed to the school building, didn’t stand to shut the grill. I went up to the dormitory, sat on my bed panting.” This was just one of the apparitions Robin saw. There are other spooky experiences, which can send cold shiver through the spine. When I have time, and willing mind, may be I’ll narrate them in my future discussions.
