Your story

Jose was returning from his friend's place when he saw someone standing on the road and signalled him to stop. He was hesitant, as he didn't know who he was. Maybe that man was in trouble and needed help.

As Jose approached him, he felt that the man was seriously sick. That sick man asked if he would drop him off at his home. Jose couldn't say no, so he took him in his car and took him to his house. His house looked very strange from the outside.

When Jose went inside, the man sat down and said, "Thank you very much for helping me."

Jose said, "I should go now."

He came home but kept thinking about the man. He looked a bit strange, but his house was even stranger. Jose was curious to know more about him, so he went to his house when returning from his office the next day. But what he saw puzzled him even more.

My story

Jose parked his car near the gate and took a look around the garden. There was no one around, but he noticed someone walking here and there in the house through window glass. He got out of the car and walked up to the house. The door to the house was closed, and he tapped it, but there was no response from inside. He was concerned that the man he brought here, the day before may be seriously ill. So he quickly opened the door to find out what had happened to that sick man. To his surprise, the interior of the house was different from what he had seen the day before. Nothing was in neatly as well everything was dusted.

He looked all over the visiting room but couldn't find the sick man. "Hello my dear friend, how are you today” he shouted. No one, however, responded to him.

He felt something strange; the man he saw walking, can't be seen. The location is complex with a mystery and an intrigue. The air in the house smelled strongly of incense.

Then he heard someone screaming in pain inside the house. He went inside because he suspected it was the sick man. He was surprised to find no one inside the room, except for dusty shelves filled with old books. It indicates that they have not been read in many years.

He picked up one book carefully out of insatiable curiosity to see what was inside. He could hear a loud moaning sound from the visiting room side as soon as he took the book. Then he dashed out of there throwing the book, looking for the source of the noise. He noticed the sick man he met on the road standing in the center of the visiting room. Jose went to his side to inquire as to what had happened to him. As soon as Jose reached there, he vanished. Jose was terrified, and he felt as if someone was pulling him. He realized the location was very mysterious, so he jumped out of the house and ran into his car without looking back.

When he got to the car, he noticed one man was running towards him. It was none other than the sick man. He was terrifying and shouted a lot. People in the area surrounded him after hearing his screams and inquire what had happened. Then he told them what had happened to him the day before and today.

The people who were listening to Jose's description were astonished and kept their hands on their heads. Later they said, "That man died six years ago, and now he's ghosting there. Some people had seen him several times, but they did not stop to help him because they knew the story. This ghost only bothers a single man, not the crowd. Therefore, three of us will come with you to drop you. Again, don't stop for this man, and don't come this way alone. Fortunately, you have escaped." They accompanied Jose to their home with four people in another car.

The moral of the story is don't put fingers on others' actions
