It was a dark & cold night. Thunders and lightning filled the calm night sky. Rain was pouring heavily. I was travelling on a train through a foreign country. Suddenly,the train came to an unexpected halt where there were tall trees & bushes all around the train. I recognized the present location immediately.By looking at the nearby bushes & the dense trees, it looked like a forest to me. Many legends say that the forest is dreadfully haunted by a ghost that lived somewhere near the graveyard.As i was thinking abt this,there was an announcement in the train telling that there is likely to be a long delay.

Close to the forest, some 2 miles away was the main road where all the buses go to my destination.Some people in my compartment declared to go to the main road. Therefore,I accompanied them.I took my umbrella & went with them.

While we were walking thru the forest, some howling sounds came behind me. I felt a chill run down my spine.I immediately turned to see & the noises stopped. I turned to talk to the people,but they have vanished into thin air.I was all alone in the forest. I retraced my steps and went back to the train.To my surprise, the train was also not there. I felt like crying.I noticed some foot tracks & followed it thinking that it will lead me to the main road.But,instead it lead me to the graveyard.

Over there, I saw a skeleton’s hand trying to come out of a buried grave. Suddenly,a hand touched my shoulder. I turned to see who the hell was it at this time. What I saw got the life out of me,it was a ghost with no eyes,no legs,arms,just looked like “hollowman”,but it had skin completely covered with blood. To make things worse,it was accompanied by a skeleton. I screamed for help, I couldn’t run. My legs were paralysed & rooted to the ground.

I was lifted up by the skeleton and I could see many glowing red eyes in the bushes nearby. I pushed the skeleton away & ran numbly in the forest as fast as my legs could carry. The ghost was following me.My clothes were torn,my whole body was covered with blood.Not a living thing was in sight and the skeleton was closing up.

From a far distance, I could see lights & houses.With all my strength,I ran & reached the houses.When I turned behind to see the skeleton,it was not there.

I reached my destination safely with cuts & bruises in my arms & legs.
