Wanna hear a real ghost story?

19 Apr

bus stop

I am not psychic and so, I don’t have the ‘third’ eye to see spirits like the way some people do. I guess I just happen to be in the wrong place and in the wrong time. The first time, I ever saw a ghost… a REAL ghost mind you – was when I was driving through the OUG area. This was back in the late 90s when I was still in college and often borrowed my dad’s car to hang out with my friends.

That night, I drove all the way to Steven’s corner (a good late night hangout) to have supper. After all the jokes and endless chatter, I had to call it a night. So, I got in the car with a friend whom I was driving home and we drove through the old and crummy OUG housing estate that had been around since the mid-70s.

Then, in the distance, I could see a bus stand lit by a single lamp by the roadside and there was a a white figure sitting. As I got closer, it became clear that the figure was a girl dressed in white and her head was lowered and she was staring at the ground! She had unusually long hair and as I got closer, she lifted her head slowly to look towards me.

It was her eerie long hair that almost covered her face and the slow and fluid manner in which she moved her head, I knew in my gut that she was a ghost. I freaked out, stepped on the pedal and zoomed past her. From the corner of my eyes, I could see that she was staring at me and her face turned to maintain her stare as I drove past.

When I was at a safe distance, I asked my friend if he saw her. He said he didn’t notice. For the rest of the journey, I kept looking at my rearview mirror. I was afraid I might have unknowingly picked up another passenger. I will never forgot the slow and fluid manner in which she lifted her head. It was just like in the movies but this is real life!

    Wow…. I can’t imagine how would I react but for sure I’ll keep reciting Om Benza Wiki Bitana Soha. Touch wood…. I have not really encountered such incident in such a close distance but I don’t wish for.

    Always believe that if one happen to bump into spirit it’s due to our karma and of course not all spirit is harmful nut we won’t know so for safe just do good and collect as much merits as possible and purify as much negative karma as we could.

    Thank you Pastor David for sharing this.
