Ghost On A Cellphone

  My brother-in-law Narsing Rao had seen a ghost on his cell phone.

  It was a rainy day and there was a heavy downpour during the evening. The sky was gradually gathering darkness. 

  It was the habit of my brother-in-law to park his scooter at his elder sister’s apartment and then walk to his two room tenement nearby.

  It was 9 o’clock in the night by the time he returned from office. He parked his scooter in the cellar of his sister’s apartment and walked to his tenement. He refreshed himself in his room, had his meal and reclined on his bed.

  He dialled the number of his boss to appraise him of the latest developments at the office. It was a video call but the face of his boss did not appear. A dark woman’s face appeared on the small screen of the cell phone instead of his boss. The woman’s face had blood red eyes, which looked at him seriously. 

  He was startled at the ghostly face and switched off the phone. 

  He switched on the cell phone again after half an hour. Again the same dark face of the ghostly woman appeared. He was afraid to keep the cell phone switched on. He switched off the cell phone, placed the set in the worship room and went to sleep.

  The next morning he switched on the cell phone with his hands trembling. But the dark face of the ghostly woman did not appear. He heaved a sigh of relief and thanked God.

  Weird things do happen sometimes.
