Scary Stories to Tell Your Children in the Dark
Description:... Ghosts and demons are integral to folklore all over the world. India is no exception in that case. You may find the reference given to them in many literatures on religion and philosophy. When we look a little more in-depth at the subject, we will find some distinguished ghostly figures with some specific powers (or you can say traits) assigned to them.
In this book, you will find tales of ghosts inspired by real encounters experienced by certain people. Some specific ghost figures have also been described at the end of the book.
A short story from the book: In the middle of the night in December, a man driving a car on a deserted highway spotted a lonely woman asking for help. The man stopped the car and asked what the problem was. She explained that she lived in a nearby village; her husband had left her there 2 hours ago when they were returning from the town on a motorcycle. He had promised he would return soon, but still hadn’t. She wanted to return to the house as soon as possible and ask about her husband. The driver agreed to give her a lift home. The woman sat on the passenger side and he began to drive. They spoke for a few minutes, then there was silence. About half an hour later, the man asked, "how far away is your village now?"
There was no response. He repeated the question, and then turned his head to the passenger. He was astonished to discover that the lady had disappeared. The vanishing spirit has been a popular subject for the tales of ghosts found across entire India. Many people claim that they have encountered a person vanishing from their car.
