Did I really see my mom ??

      It is funny, nowadays, how we are scared of feeling bored than being in the company of ghosts. Sometimes boredom takes over your mind that you start imagining things or even witness the unrealistic. There is an amusing phenomenon which goes on within my family, which can be termed as ‘The sightings of my mom’. My grandfather had seen her standing near my bed when he woke up! That was evidently when she was not even staying with us. My mom is an office worker who leaves home, well before I rise and shine!! Sometimes she leaves food , sometimes leaves us to figure it out.

      One fine day, I woke up late and had my brunch. Then I sat down with my phone in the dining room itself. After sometime, I saw my mom walking in with her bag as usual but with an unusual silence. She returned to the entrance door after walking past me , just like she was checking on me. I continued my work peacefully and walked upstairs where my sister was. I asked her , “Where is mom? What is she doing?”. She replied that mom still didn’t return home. I was denying it saying that I saw her walking downstairs wearing a blue sari. She asked me whether I saw my mom getting ready in the morning, to which I replied “no!!”. To my disbelief, I heard the sound of a vehicle pulling over and the front door open. My mom walked into our room wearing the same light blue sari !!

        My neighborhood as well as house has possessed a history of unexplainable activities. Starting from hearing noises at night to residents getting possessed, there has been a whirlwind of supernatural occurrences! Though it is not new to us, I feel inquisitive when something happens around in the household. Once I was sitting in the balcony with headphones on and listening to music the whole time. After I came in and locked the door to balcony, I removed my headphones. That was when I heard someone singing softly outside , might be in the balcony. Even spirits must love listening to music and singing along.

        

        I not only see things, but experience activities of poltergeistic nature. Not only do I wake up with strange dreams, but once witnessed a bag full of clothes being dragged down under my bed. I have learnt to live with it , as people who say they have ghost friends at homes. There are times when people fled from haunted places but now they set to explore such places out of curiosity and for video content. I have watched tons of videos , some morphed, some real but nothing amuses me like my own experiences.

       I get chills whenever I think of the time when my computer turned off while my sister and I were watching a ghost movie . The scene shows a lad telling another, “Switch it off!” and there went my monitor. It happened not once, but twice playing the same scene. The dialogue must have triggered whoever or whatever was with us. While we proclaim that we are to share this world with the animal kingdom , we should also consider sharing it with our spiritual counterparts! We should hold it up with the memories and reverence of those who graced this earth before us …
