November 29, 2004. It was a very cold night in Montreal, Canada. Pavan Gil and his two friends, Maurice and Johny, were driving back to their home. They all lived close to each other.
Pavan: "Hey guys, we are getting close to Johny's house. Bye Johny."
Johny laughed and said, "Bye mon ami. See you tomorrow."
He rushed to his home. Then Pavan dropped Maurice at his home soon afterwards.
Maurice: "Bye Pavan! Buddy!! En demaine!!"
Pavan: "Bye my friend! See you tomorrow!"
Pavan lived about a 15 minute drive from Maurice's house. He was driving slowly as there was a lot of snow on the road and the neighbourhood was quite desolate at night.
It was about 10 pm. It was getting quite late. Pavan's family was visiting his sister in Ottawa for a few days so he was going to be alone. At about 8 minutes from his house he had to cross a small bridge over a pond. Just as he was approaching the bridge his car just abruptly stopped. He put on the blinkers and came out to see what the problem was. It took him a few minutes but he could not sort it out. He called the emergency CAA people and they said they would be there to help him out in about 25 minutes. He sat in the car and waited patiently.
After two or three minutes he saw a faint green light approaching the car. He could not believe what he saw. He thought was imagining things. He says to himself, "Is that a light? A green light?" Then he hears a voice but besides the light he cannot see anything.
Voice: "I am this green light!! Tonight you shall not be spared! Two weeks ago at Le Pascale's Bar you misbehaved with a young girl named Cynthia. You had spiked her drink when she was not looking and then you tried to make an advance towards her. She did not like that and ran away. However, she was so shocked by your behaviour. She intended to go the police the next day but that night she was so upset that she unfortunately committed suicide. She was wearing her favourite green dress when she died. I am her soul. I need to take revenge!!"
Pavan: "No, no!! I did not mean to do anything bad. It was all a very silly mistake. The police did question me a few days ago and I am still ordered not to leave Montreal until their investigation is complete. I am innocent! I did not kill Cynthia!"
Pavan was so scared that he opened the car door and started running towards the woods. He felt that he may not survive this night. The green light followed him and a voice kept saying, "Pavan, you can't escape tonight! Pavan, you can't escape!"
He ran towards the trees but due to the snow he could not run very fast. The green light kept chasing him.
Voice: "Pavan, you now only have 3 minutes left!! Say your final prayers! I want you to die now!!"
Pavan starts running again towards more trees but falls near one and his head hits the bark of the tree and he is injured. He lies down near the tree and is panting and sweating profusely.
The green light approaches Pavan very fast and it seems to Pavan that this light is entering his stomach. He is so petrified that his heart fails at that instant and then he dies.
As his dead body lies still in the snow the green light comes out of his body and then ascends towards the sky.
His cell phone starts ringing as the emergency CAA driver has reached Pavan's car. Pavan's body is about a 10 minute walk from his car.
