The Curse of the Ghost

The call on a dark night was at 3am. The small village was completely silent and shrouded in darkness. Occall's howling shocked the air, contributing to the eerie atmosphere. A cold wind rusted through the trees, and the wooden windows creaked slightly from the rattan room.

Suddenly, he woke up and feared the unusual sound. It was not wind or jackal - it was whispering, weak, but different. It seemed to come right outside his window. His heart began to slap.

"Who's at this time?" he wondered.

Slowly pulled back the curtains and peered outside. His breath was caught around his neck. Under the old banyan tree near his house, the girl was wearing a flowing white dress. She wasn't alone there - she moved a bit like she was looking for something.

A strange and sad energy oozes out of its existence. Something felt unnatural.

The rattan's neck is dry. He wanted to run, but the invisible power froze him on the spot. He saw the girl suddenly turn to him and barely see her face under the moonlight.

Then she spoke with one voice in a whisper. "Help me..."

Rattan felt his body trembling. He wanted to ask something, but he refused to let out a voice. Before he could react, the girl took a step back - and, just before his eyes, she disappeared into the air.

A cold shower ran down his spine.

The Dark Secret of the Village

The next morning, Rattan was restless. Was that a dream? Hallucination? Or did he really see something supernatural?

Unable to shake his fear, he decides to tell his best friend, Raju. Raju listened carefully, and his expression became serious. "Don't you know the story of Sandhiya?" he asked.

Rattan frowned. "Who is Sandhiya?"

Raju sighed. "About ten years ago, Sandhiya, the daughter of a wealthy landlord, mysteriously disappeared. The whole village was searching for her, but she was nowhere to be found.

Rattan shear. "What... what happened to her?"

"No one knows for sure," Raju said in a steamy tone. "Some say she was murdered, while others believe she killed her. But since that day, there's something strange going on near this tree. Villagers reported that they wandered in the night and whispered for help.

Rattan felt the weight of fear was being pressed against him. Did that mean he saw Sandhiya's spirit? What's worse - did she ask him for help?

On the night of Fear

, Ratan decided to return to spirit. If she really needed help, he wanted to know why.

He waited at the window and turned to the banyan tree. The village was silent, but the leaves in the wind were occasionally rustling.

Then he heard it again at just 3 o'clock.

"Please help..."

This time he didn't hesitate. He took a deep breath and went outside. As he approached the tree, the air around it became unnatural. He felt his invisible eyes look at him from the shadows.

The girl stood up and stood under a tree. She turned to him, her face still covered with her long, dark hair.

"How can I help you?" asked Ratan, his voice barely stable.

The girl slowly raised her head. Her eyes were filled with sadness.

"My necklace..." she whispered. "You took it... find it for me..."

Rattan's heartbeat accelerated. necklace? Who took it? Where was it now?

Before he could ask, the girl slowly descended and disappeared again.

Search for

Necklace

decided to solve the riddles, Rattan said it all.

"We have to find your necklace," Rattan said.

Raju hesitated. "Are you crazy? What happens if it's a trap? What if "

" rests peacefully until we do this," Ratan insisted. I can feel it. "

nodded after some thought, Raju. But where do you start?

Rattan began digging through the soft ground with his hands. Raju was viewed using sticks. After time, something hard, metal appeared to be in the moonlight.

Silver necklace.

Rattan is taken with care. It was old but still beautiful, with delicate chains and small medallions. He wiped the dirt off, and his heart knocked.

"It must be," he whispered.

Last encounter

That night, Rattan returned to the banyan tree with a necklace.

As expected, the spirit reappeared.

"I found it," Rattan said, stretching out the necklace.

The girl slowly looked at it. For the first time, a weak and sad smile appeared on her lips. She reached out and accepted it, her cold fingers sprinting into Rattan's hand.

A strong gust of wind passed through the area, and the atmosphere around it suddenly changed. Sadness, weight - it seemed to nurture everything.

The girl finally saw the rattan again. "Thank you..."

And like that, she disappeared in the night.

The next day, the curse was broken, and the whole village heard what had happened. Some were relieved, but others were still skeptical.

But one thing was certain - no one saw the spirit of Sandhiya again after that night.

Rattan and Raju often wondered - did they really help us find peace in the lost soul? Or was there more in history?

But deep within Rattan knew the truth.

And from that day, he had no doubts of the unknown.
