IN THIS 21ST CENTURY when people are living in top-notch epoch that is the technically advanced society, if you talk of “Ghost” very few people will believe you and your unscientific notion. They shall easily say that there is no scintilla of truth in it. Being from an educated family it is hard to believe in ghosts. As per science ghosts do not exist.
However, in Islam there is a concept of Satan and jinn. In this regard psychology says that when a person is obsessed about a particular thing, he is bound to think about it most of the time. An image form is formed in the mind and is unintentionally transferred to the subconscious mind; this sometimes leads to people perceiving objects. As soon as they are back from subconscious mind the image of the object disappears and consequently they fear and claim that there is a ghost. But some events and experiences compel you to think twice on the subject.
This particular event happened when I was 18 years old and had completed 10+2 examination from Bihar Education Council Patna. I was waiting for my results so that I could get admission in college. One day I was returning home from market late at night. As usual almost all villagers were sleeping and the dogs were barking in the dark of the night.
While walking, I suddenly felt that someone is following me closely. I ignored and proceeded forward towards my destination without thinking about “ghost” or any such thing. But my thoughts went in the wrong direction, and I started to remember the childhood ghost stories and different types of horror stories narrated by my grandmother. I was surprised when I took a look to confirm whether I was being followed? There about twenty feet tall with white dress and white beard person was standing behind me. I could understand what is happening with me. I had two options either fight or escape but I fell down and lost my consciousness. I had never seen something like it before.
It was my first experience. I felt some one was carrying me but who was that is a mystery for my parents and me. Thereafter time-to-time I felt pain in my stomach and my parents took me for consultations to renowned doctors of AIIMS New Delhi. But my condition remained unchanged. There was no sign of any improvement.
Being the elder son, I was really worried about my health and future. During this period many people suggested my parents to meet mullah or Pandit for my treatment, initially my father was not ready to take me anywhere. But every parent especially mothers are more concerned for their children, so she could finally convince my father, and he agreed for the child’s sake, to go to a mullah. I don’t know what helped, the healing by the mullah or some other factors but by the grace of God, I am completely cured and now am in excellent condition. I must mention here though that the mullah did not take a single penny.
This incident in my life has made me start believing that there are abstract things like ghost Satan and jinn in this world. So, I think ghosts do really exist, I don’t know about you!
