Not to long ago when I was 10 years old i used to live by this graveyard and at first I was creep out ,but then I realize that Ii was not afraid of no ghost so I didn't mind living by a graveyard. So I went to school doing work and stuff, and then we rode the bus home and the bus stopped at my corner. So when I got off the bus I walked down the sideway to my house it was at 15 foot,but I didn't mind so when I get close to my house always gotta pass the graveyard, but I believe that ghost did not come out at daytime but, I was wrong As i was walking through the graveyard it was daytime I saw one of the tombstone and it was old and a piece of it was broken and being the person I am I went to investigate the tombstone and it was weird cause

However, the only thing they don’t really tell us is that the ones you fear the most are actually real. Ghost and Spirits are common topics among society. Some encounters can be pleasant, but most of them are so terrifying that they can be hard to believe for those who are skeptical. People may doubt the existence of ghosts and spirits, but there is enough evidence that proves that these paranormal creatures do exist.…

    Ghost are an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or manifest to the living, typically as a nebulous image. A ghost is thought of as a disembodied soul, a soul of a dead person inhabiting the world. One case of ghosts was with a Greek philosopher Athenodoros Cananites, who saw a haunted house and started watching it at night since he was interested in what was going on. He said one night an old man, bound at the feet and hands with rattling chains, appeared to him and beckoned the scholar to follow him. The ghost then disappeared and Athenodoros had the spot where he vanished dug up, shackled bones were found and they had a proper re-burial and the haunting then ended (Krystek).…

    I remember the time when I was scared to the death for the first time in my life, it was during the winter vacations of my school after the 1st semester exams of 3rd grade that our family decided on the fact of visiting our native place Dehradun in Uttrakhand. The place was quite the ideal place for someone like me who loves a slow-paced and a relaxed life as whenever I visit the place the weather is quite revitalizing, the air is quite fresh and cool which makes the place as heaven when compared to the life experienced in the city. The best thing about visiting your hometown is that I get a chance to meet my siblings and being the only son can be quite boring if you have no one around but, in my hometown, it was time for reunion and loss of boredom. During our stay there we siblings gathered at our house there were 2 of my sisters Nikita and Ashima and 3 of my Brothers Shubham, Daman and Abhishek and the 5 of them were all older than me. During that night we had a lot of free time with us so Shubham suggested that we go and venture the oldest graveyard present in the village as it was a graveyard with the oldest ghost stories and rumours surrounding it from the time even when my father was a child and trust…
