One True Scary Incident .........

Hello Friends,

I was reading today’s (Wednesday) GUJARAT SAMACHAR supplement called “ Shatdal Purti”. I seen one big photo of one palace in Santrampur and immediately I remembered scary incident happened with me.  See the photo as below;

Those who can read Gujarati and want detail about this palace can go to this link;

Now the incident:  My father is posted at Santrampur since last 10 years in Govt run civil Hospital as a Superintendent of Civil. I went to santrampur during one of my vacation almost 5-6 years back and stay with my father. 

I have fond of wondering alone at historical, natural places. The palace mentioned above is nearby my father’s hospital, walking distance. Generally palaces are 2 storied or max 3 floor buildings, but this one is massive, more than 4 floors. Very attractive, it is visible from main road. Some 25-30 years back, this building was used as PTC College. Bur after some time it was closed down and shifted to another place, currently some part of this palace has been collapsed and in very bad condition. 

So one good day, I went to this palace in morning time. There are few small houses beneath the palace. My father has given me one reference there, and I went directly to his home. I inquired about the palace and current scenario. They had given me very good information but advised me to not to go there. 

But I decided to go there at least once, I went there from backside. There was platform for elephant, parking place and many other things. On the way to main building,  I was looking upwards for overview, when my eyes got attention towards one small window (just look in to the picture and window), suddenly one old man (around 80s) face come up from inside with lantern in his hands and asked me “what are you doing here” and stared at me for a while. I was so frightened for a while. Within a 15-20 seconds that face disappears.

Immedietely I gave up the idea and went for one another palace which is just 1-2 km away and currently used by RajPariwar. 

Later on, I had asked that nearby family that “is there any chowkidar/guard there in the palace”?. They said it is totally khander now, no one there as of now, but earlier one old man does the same thing.

Still, I don’t believe that the same thing happened to me although I am in constant search of such old buildings and spirits. I do believe that was a real man, no spirit but as per the circumstances and surrounding it was really frightening.

More on this topic: One of my uncles is doing such spirit related things, I have heard so many instances, stories from him, but till date I have not seen or feel any.

I know, many of you will doubt about the incident. I invite them all to visit the same place once. For location details please write to me or comment it out.

My next article will be on “ Whats happening in other states of India”.
