Soumodip Mukherjee, IV D (2018-19)<\/strong><\/p>\n Do ghosts and spirits exist? I don\u2019t know, but I will narrate what happened one night.<\/p>\n I was watching cartoons on T.V. It was 10p.m That evening I was all alone at home . My father had gone to the airport to receive my mother and my brother. Soon I felt sleepy and a number of strange things began to happen. At first the lights of the dining room were switched on automatically . I remembered that I had switched off the lights a few minutes ago. So I turned them off again. While lounging on my sofa a strange unearthly sound gave me goose bumps. The sound was like an infant crying . I wondered whether I should call Mother or ignore the creepy sound. I thought that I was brave enough to handle this kind of situation. I opened the door and went outside to investigate the source of that creepy sound when suddenly the lights of the dining room were on again. I was scared. I went to the telephone to call Mother but she was not reachable. I tried to sleep but couldn\u2019t. Suddenly I heard some knocks on the door. I started to pray. I opened the door but could see no one. I closed the door and tried to sleep when again I heard the knocking sound. I was sure someone was playing a prank or was it a ghost? Armed with a stick I told myself that I would beat the evil spirit. I opened the door but this time it was my best friend Iyer. He did not believe in ghosts . He explained that probably a lizard was going up and down the switch and so the light was switching on and off. \u201cWhat about the knocking sound?\u201d I asked feeling a bit better. \u201cOh that!\u201d he continued \u201cis the wind\u201d. What about the infant crying?\u201d \u201cAn owl sits on the tree daily and makes a strange sound like that\u201d. I was satisfied with his explanation. But then I doubtfully said \u201cBut why couldn\u2019t I hear them on other days?\u201d He smartly answered \u201cAs you sleep early those days.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Soumodip Mukherjee, IV D (2018-19) Do ghosts and spirits exist?
