Assalam o alaikum to my Steemit family. I am back with another post and this time its a participation post for an interesting contest organized by @event-horizon. She has come up with the most engaging topic, as always.
LET'S TALK PARANORMAL!
I remember when me and my cousins used to be of little age we all cousins would gather at Grandma's house and would even stay there over the weekends. And then everyone would hype up others to start sharing their horror experiences or any scary story they have to tell. Some of my cousins had a lot to share on this topic :D I don't know if all of those stories were real or they used to make it in their heads on that very moment :D but couple of them had A LOT of stories to share xD
With few of the people getting scared way too soon and leaving the session mid-way, while one of younger cousins convincing his elder sister to take him to the toilet because after listening to such stories he fear going to the toilet alone xD that was a golden phase for sure.
Anyways, today I have come up with my Horror Story. Out of all the creepy stories that were told by my cousins and elder relatives. I have picked up the story which was told by my mum to share it here with you guys.
My Creepy Paranormal Story
Back in 1980s, when there were very few doctors available, one of the aunties in the vicinity of my mum's house was a mid-wife. Obviously in that era of very few doctors, a lot of people used to ask for mid-wife's help.
One dark night, when the mid-wife was sleeping peacefully in her room, someone knocked at her door. She got up and checked time, it was 2:30 am. She knew there might be someone asking for her help because it was quite normal for her. She got out of her room and responded to the main door. When she opened the door what she was a giant black man who was wearing long white kurta and had bright white eyes. She asked him whats the matter on which he replied he needed her help for her wife as she's having serious contractions. Mid-wife quickly took her bag in which she had all the necessary things and left with that man. They both walked towards that man's house because obviously they had no vehicles back then.
They kept on walking for atleast an hour and reached to a point where there was no sign of life. There were no more houses and it was all dark with tall trees. It seemed like a jungle. That man stopped walking in the middle of the jungle and directed the mid-wife towards a small tent. She went to the tent and when she entered in it, she saw a lady lying on the floor who was so much in pain and was fully ready to deliver the baby. Mid-wife quickly took the charge and helped her calm down and started her work. Thankfully, after half an hour she succeeded to deliver a cute baby boy. Once the mid-wife's job was done, she came out of the tent and broke the good news to that man and asked for her payment.
Also, not to forget the fact that money was not much common in that era. People used to follow Barter System. That mid-wife was also expecting something valuable from that man as she helped her wife deliver the baby successfully.
Upon her asking for the valuable goods, that man gave her a small pouch. She took that pouch and left for her house. On her way back she realized she should check out whats their inside this pouch. So she opened up the pouch. Upon her surprise, she saw ample of small coal peices in that pouch. She got so angry to see that. She wondered why would that man give her coal instead of something valuable, as she has done a great help to him. But as she had already cover more than half of her route, she threw that pouch on the road side and decided to cover the rest of her route and get home early because it was already too late.
When she reached home she washed her face, hands, feet and went for a sleep.
Early in the morning, when sun light striked on her face, she woke up. She sat on her bed and as per her routine she said the morning dua and got out of her bed. To her surprise, she saw few small stones which were sticked to her shirt and bottoms. She bent down to see what they are and upon viewing them closely she got to know they are gold stones. At first she was shocked how did this gold end up sticking on to her clothes. But then she remembered when she was throwing that pouch on the road side, some of the coal peices might have fallen onto her clothes.
She quickly grabbed her shawl and went to the same path where she had thrown that pouch.
And when she reached to that point, she saw that pouch which she had thrown last night. It was still over there, at exact same position where she had throw it.
She gathered all of her courage and picked up that pouch. She opened that pouch and what she saw was.......THAT POUCH WAS FULL OF GOLD STONES INSTEAD OF COAL STONES!
She was in extreme shock that she dropped that pouch and stood there for a while with a complete blank face. She did not know how did this happen. How did coal turn into gold over night?!
After few minutes of shock, she gained back her senses, picked up that pouch and left to see a Molvi Sahab of the nearest Masjid. When she went to him and told him the whole story, she got to know by the Molvi Sahab that the man who came to her last night was no one but a Jin (ghost). And the women whom she helped delivering was also a Jin, wife of that man (Jin).
And the baby she delivered last night was not a human baby, it was a ghost's baby. And the pouch that she got was a gift to her from that Jin family which was there way of thanking the mid-wife.
Then it made sense to her how the coal changed into gold, because obviously that Jin had given it to her and it could have turn into anything. Then she asked the Molvi Sahab if she should keep this gold with her? Would it be risky or not?
He replied its a gift from them and she should definitely keep it with her.
Then the mid-wife came back to her home and kept that gold pouch with the rest of her precious possessions.
This was the end of the Paranormal Story which was shared by my mum to me. I hope I didn't scare you though. And I also hope this story won't be coming into your mind when you'll be going to the toilet :D
Good Bye!
