Blame It On The Ghost!!!!

Blame It On The Ghost!!!!

Don’t have any answer blame the ghost!!!! Why not they are not coming to confront you or anything, are they?? It is funny really, still some people when fails to explain something they blame it on a ghost or anything supernatural without any logic. Once me and my friend was hanging out in my flat watching a movie on my laptop and having coffee, it was quite normal evening then suddenly the rope which was for hanging clothes and stuff broke of and all clothes scattered on the floor, we were startled, and looked at the mess, I was pretty upset because I have to clear things up, but suddenly my friend said, “Shrutasree your place is haunted, it was definitely a ghost”, I was surprised at her remark, I lived there more or ness 7 months till then and nothing supernatural happened, and it is absurd to think that a ghost is going to waste it’s limited energy on messing my place with clothes, and the rope was little loose to begin with, but no logical explanation made her believe that there was nothing supernatural in my flat. After sometime one day I was visiting her and we were having tea and snacks she said to me, “I was wrong, your place is not haunted at all.” I was happy at first, at last she got hold on her logical part of the brain, and then she told me something that I felt alarmed, “your place is not haunted, but that was a job of a ghost, it happens around me, actually I am haunted.” She believed that a ghost like entity is following her since she was a child, and sometime it acts naughty, and mess things up. She lived in a girls’ hostel, and reported many disturbing incidents, doors are getting slammed, she can’t breathe properly in her sleep, and her roommate is feeling the same. Once she was talking on a phone and walked up to the roof unknowingly and something startled her, it was a huge rooftop; it was very late at night and no one else on the roof. She told me that she was in a trance and did not notice her going to the roof at all.

I thought her breathing problem was a part of sleep paralysis, it is quite common, it can be triggered by heavy stress and workload in life, she had those, and the roommate having the same experience can be logically explain by mass hysteria, listening an explanation again and again can make some people feeling that way. And her trance mode, she is still very absent minded person, doing one thing she just forget everything else around her, only the thing in hand is her whole world, so her trance mode is still very common and little disturbing in a way, and in night sky there is millions of things, night birds, bats anything could have startled her, but no blame it on the ghost.

  

The poor black cats are the saddest victim of superstition, there was an incident when I was in class five, I grew up in a home where my parents never indulged any superstition or illogical beliefs, so I did not knew about  the popular superstitious beliefs and I was more interested in my games and fun, one day I was coming home from school with some friends, we often took a lonely shortcut, and it was fun, no traffic or crowd, just some trees and field and we ran play and walk at the same time, it was very pleasant, so we were talking and laughing amongst ourselves and suddenly a little black kitty crossed our path, it was a little ball of fur, unfortunately the fur was pitch black, my friends freaked out so bad, they were really scared to go forward on that road and insisted upon going back and take the long way home, I was surprised, I liked the kitty, and it was so small to do any harm, if it was a big angry cat then our being scared could have been justified a little. But my friends were determined to go back, but my home was very near then and I was starving and looking forward to have food and sleep cozying up to my grandmother, so I stayed at the same road and tell them to go if they want to go. They left me, even though they thought it was dangerous and the black cat was actually a ghost still they left their friend and ran away. I walked alone; the kitty was sitting under a tree, looked sleepy rather than evil or viscous. After I reached home I found my grandmother waiting for me as usual, I eat and lay down beside her and told her the whole thing. She said to me, “you should not done that, you should have stay with your friends” I was little amazed and curious I asked her if the black cat was really a ghost! She answered, “I don’t know if the poor little cat was anything but a cat, but coming alone was a bad idea, the road was isolated and you are a little girl, you should be more careful, people can do more harm than a ghost or a cat, now remember that and never come home all alone by yourself” she was scared because I was little and coming home alone was not safe for a child. I thought my friend’s grandmothers were not so bright like my grandmother, I loved her very much she, and she never blamed anything on ghost.

But through my teenage years I was desperate to see a ghost or something supernatural, because my friends often tell me stories of their encounters with unknown entity ghost or haunting, they were very serious in describing them, and I felt left out, like ghost did not liked me or something, even my best friend told me once a ghost scratched her hand while she was sleeping. I often scratched my cheek or nose with my nails in sleep but that was it. So I tried to read books about supernatural, tried plan Chet, but my father told me once, it is not wise to look for disturbing things, even for fictional disturbing things it can cloud the mind with useless thoughts and can disrupt logic and common sense. And it was it I got older and busy in everyday life, studies and work I stop looking for ghost to blame on. But I still hear stories of people’s encounter with supernatural, and most of the time they are lying and if not so they need psychiatric help.

I still remember my grandmother’s warning, people can harm more than a ghost or a black cat. It’s true, everyday reading the newspapers I can see her point. The world is haunted but not by ghost or any supernatural beings, it is haunted by humans, we haunt ourselves, and we die, suffer and lost everything by our own hand. Still some people like to blame it on ghosts that is may be easy to see us in a logical perspective. Believing in supernatural is a coping mechanism, but being logical and reasonable is wise. Keeping an open mind is better; I will be happy or excited or even may be scared if I see a ghost, it will mean there is a mystery and something more is hidden. But blaming little messes on a poor black cat or a ghost is not fair, is it??
