SEC-S30W5: Spooky Bedtime Stories | The true story of the terrifying ghost encounter with my father.

I was very young then, maybe in class four or five. Our village was very quiet and surrounded by paddy fields, dirt roads, and silence would descend around us in the evening. An incident from that time is still told as a scary story in our family because it was a strange incident that happened to my father. The whole incident is a true story from my childhood.

My father was a school teacher. On a weekend afternoon, my father decided to go to see the crops in our field. It was paddy harvesting time, so it was very important to keep an eye on the field. He was accompanied by a worker from our family, named Rahim Chacha. The two of them reached the field before evening.

Seeing that the crops were in good condition, they prepared to return home. By then, the sun had started to set, and darkness had descended around them. The village's dirt road, bushes, and large palm trees in the distance made the atmosphere a little eerie.

My father always returned home after chatting with Uncle Rahim. But today, suddenly, on the way back, my father's behavior changed. He became strangely quiet. Uncle Rahim tried to speak a few times, but my father did not answer. Instead, he suddenly left the main road and started walking along another narrow path.

Uncle Rahim was surprised and said, "Brother, why are you going this way? The road to home is that way!"

But my father didn't seem to hear anything. He kept walking the same way, as if someone was pulling him invisibly.

The surroundings had become even darker. The sound of crickets chirping and the barking of distant dogs could be heard, making the atmosphere even more mysterious. Fear had entered Uncle Rahim's mind. He realized that something unusual was happening.

He ran and grabbed my father's hand tightly and shouted, "Come on, not this way! This is not the right road!" Come with me.

But my father kept walking in a different direction. He kept trying to go in the same direction. With great difficulty, Uncle Rahim dragged him towards the main road.

Then my father said in surprise, "This is our home! How did we get here?"

Uncle Rahim then gasped and said, "You were going the other way! Who knows where you would have gone today if I hadn't been there!"

Everyone was scared when they returned home. The village elders heard about the incident and said that it was "ghost mind-deception," where ghosts take people astray so that they cannot return home.

We still hear that story from my father as we grow up. My father sometimes tells ghost stories to his grandchildren.
