I gathered courage and moved to the coach sat there reciting some prayers. I have heard that when we recite prayers ghosts don’t attack us. I could still hear her screams and shouts. I closed my ears and sat. I was shivering literally now. No not because of the cold but because of fear. The clock struck one, I could hear the sound of the clock ticking along with the beats of my heart. Thud !Thud! Thud! No they are not my heart beats but someone banging on my door loudly. As they had told me it was the girl who was banging my door crying for help. I froze thinking that the ghost is not going to leave me. I ran and sat under the table as if the ghost was playing hide and seek with me. When one is engulfed in fear the master of our body, which makes human beings superior to animals gets switched off and does things which sound really funny when you think about it later.

I sat under the table thinking that the ghost won’t be able to find me immediately in case it enters the house through the door like they show in movies. Thoughts go weird when your scared. The most brilliant men like Einstein would also think such things when in fear. I was thinking of ways to escape from the ghost but no way was she going to leave me. The bangs grew louder indicating that she was still waiting outside. I sat under the table for almost an hour waiting for her to leave. Slowly in sometime the bangs stopped. Giving me a great sigh of relief. I gathered strength and switched on the lights of all the rooms assuming that ghosts don’t attack when in bright light. After a long and deep thinking I gathered my mental and physical strength and planned to open the door to check out if she had left.
