1 Picture 1 Story Week #72

This incident happened when I was going to visit Shimla. I had booked train tickets in advance and left for the railway station. Everything was normal at that time, but I did not know that this trip was going to be the most scary and mysterious journey of my life.

 
As soon as I reached the railway station, the train was ready to leave so I boarded the train. The train stopped at a small station on the way, where I got down to get some snacks. There was no rush at that station, but the atmosphere had a mild cold.

Suddenly I felt a very strong need to go to the washroom, but there were none around. I went near an old, broken wall in the corner of the station, and as soon as I started urinating, a strange incident started happening.

At that time, a gust of cold wind came, and a strange whistle started ringing in my ears. Then suddenly, an unseen force slapped me hard on the face. The snack packet flew in the air from my hands and scattered on the floor. I got goosebumps. I looked around in panic, but there was no one there. My eyes fell on the stone on which I had urinated. Smoke was coming out of that stone, as if it was burning in some mysterious fire.

I was stunned to see this. In panic, I ran towards the train and, with great difficulty, was able to board the moving train. I was thinking, “What if I had missed the train?” But I was thinking, which invisible power had slapped me, and smoke was coming out of the stone?

The night was getting darker. The slow sound of the train, the dark night outside, and the dim light inside made the atmosphere even more mysterious. I had dinner and then fell asleep after a while. I was lying down near the window. It must have been around three in the night when the train suddenly stopped in a deserted area. When I opened my eyes, I looked out of the window.

It was dark outside, but in the dim light of the train lights, I saw that someone was standing outside. My heart started pounding. I couldn't understand what was happening. Then I looked out the window again and there was a scary woman who looked like a witch, standing there with her foot on a stone.

In panic, I jumped from the berth and got down from the train. As soon as I tried to reach that place, the same monstrous man and the witch stood in front of me. They looked at me with their terrifying eyes and said, "You have soiled our place, and now you will be punished for this. We will clean our place by your blood."

Their words shook my soul. My voice was stuck in my throat. I was trying to escape from them somehow, but my body was not moving. They started pulling me towards the forest. My scream was choked in my throat. Just then, the train siren rang, and both of them left me and ran away. I ran and caught the train and came inside and sat on my seat trembling. My heart was beating fast, but I did not have the courage to tell anyone anything.

When I woke up the next morning, I called my father. This incident still remains a mystery for me. I completed my trip to Shimla, but the fear of that night never left my mind. Even today, the same wave of fear runs through me as soon as I hear the train siren.

Every night I used to see a ghost and a witch in a monstrous form in my dreams and used to wake up every night at three, soaked in sweat. This continued for a month. When I could not bear it anymore, I told this to my father. On hearing this, my father took me to the railway station and with a new broom and bucket, he made me clean the place where I had urinated.

After that night, I never had a dream of those ghosts and witches again. Papa told me that that place must have been related to some person from old times, who could not get salvation from this world, and you had made his place dirty. That's why they were harassing you.

After this incident, whenever I need to go to the bathroom, I use a proper bathroom, and if I am outside the house, I use the public washrooms, but I never do it in the open, and I suggest you guys not do this in the open, especially on a stone, even by mistake.
