Queerer than spectre

Hello friends

Today, I want to share you a very interesting story filled with thril. I am 99% sure if you are not a Bangali, you never heard it before. It is written by Shibram Chakrabarty, a Bengali writer. He has written many stories in Bengali, One of Indian language. Long ago, I heard it on a radio FM channel and name of the programme was Sunday suspense. Orginal name of the story is "vuter cheye advut" means queerer than an spectre translated by me. The name of the short story is perfect for Bengali version. I don't how is it for mine. After reading it, you can justify my title if you want.Without further ado let's begin it.

The main character of the story was the writer himself. I will be Mr. Shibram who is going to narrate the story. Let's start.

Once I visited a country-side for a personal work. I just finished it. It's time to return home.I was walking alone but a broken cycle with me. I was thinking, "it would be better if haven't bring it with me.I have to travel long and this is a burden what should I do?" I was thinking to leave it there and to send someone to carry it back home the next day. I was walking silently, the sun was going to set down in the horizon.Soon, darkness would cover the entire villege specially the narrow lane I was passing by.

I never had feeling or fear of ghost, I knew it is just our fear of mind. So, I was not worried about it. In the mean while I noticed darkness started covering the entire atmosphere. I was walking fast to reach the road ahead and still I was carrying the bi-cycle with me. Before reaching the road between the wood, I found myself in utter darkness. It was a village faraway from city. Less people could be seen. I was thinking" what has happened! not a single person can be seen!!"Fear started grabbing my heart. Then somehow, I managed myself to find the road. I walked on and on for some time on the road and found no car to help me. After long time, I had seen two bright eyes comming closer to me. I realised it would be a goods' career. I lifted my hand for help. But it didn't listen to me and passed me in no time. I was worried walking again.

After some time, it was started raining. I had an umbrella with me and I spread it over my head. After that it in a while, I noticed another car approaching me form behind. It was coming towards me with bright lights on and I was looking at it. I was thinking "Why is it taking time to reach me?" Finally it reached though I had not thought it would take so much time to catch me. However, I noticed it was moving slowly. I raised my hand for lift. It seemed it had no intention to stop. As it was running very slowly, a feeling of thought came inside " let's get on it.What happens , it can be seen later. I should think if I do not get in , I will not reach home tonight in this heavy showering ,specially with a burden." I left the bi-cycle and took no time to enter the car as the door was half opened.

I was feeling good now. At least, now I could go home.Then,I was curious to know about the driver. I turned right and every single hair on my skin started getting straight and a dread had cought me from inside when I saw there was none on the driver seat. "Who is driving the car"!!. I somehow manged to see if anybody was at the back seat. I astonishingly found it empty also. Now what!! In my entire life, I was a non believer of supernaturals but the situation was so bad that I had nothing to think about but ghostly presence. I unwillingly made my body hard and closed my eyes and sat shivering silently. My heart was not in me that time.

I kept sitting silently being thrilled for long and suddenly I heard a sound of running train coming at us and I opened my eyes and found the car was definalety going to cross its track. This was another danger that I could not but think of. If the car did not stop then, it gonna hit the train. Suddenly I found, all the while the engine of the car was on, how should I then stop car? It was running without the engine on!! I was now agile to stop it but was in vain.

When it comes near train lines , it stopped automatically. I was surprised. I could not think anymore, I was not far away home, so I decided to leave the car and escape the place. I left the car. Very surprisingly I found someone was calling me , "hey young man , can you please help a bit?" I noticed an old man was coming out from behind the car. When he came nearer to me, he said "the engine has broken down". Till now he was pushing it but now he had no strength to take it opposite site of the train track. I uttered silently, "What the hack!"

The situation was really queer than presence of an spectre😂.I think, the name is perfect for the story.

It gives us very important lesson. There is no ghost in reality.If there is any ghost is in our mind. Think why ghost can always be seen in the dark only, not in day light? Do a ghost fear to attack a man in day light? Insane...

Think a bit more if the Writer Shibram chakrobarty had escaped the place before the poor old man appeared form behind the car, he would believe in ghost for sure. I think we feel spectre because we have feeling deep inside of our mind that has no explanation in our wit or knowledge, we think it unnatural.

To me, it was very interesting story when I heard it first time in presence of terrifying sound. I don't know how good or bad I have represented it to you. Please hit a comment below if you like it or not and also justify the name of the story.

Note: stroy was written by Bengali writer Shibram chakarabarty. I heard it long ago. Now I have tried it in my words ; it may be torn quite a bit from the original because it is not a copy paste.😂😂 If you know Bengali, you can listen it here. I am afraid you can find it any other language.

Thank you so much for staying with me till end.

Have a great day.
