Somewhere I read that "Fear of Heights" & "Fear of loud sounds" are the only natural fears that any living being is born with and other fears are all imposed by society/environment". Adding, there is another fear that is fear of "Fast approaching objects"
Other fears such as darkness? Deep Water? Closed Spaces? etc?
The light you see around you, the electricity is a century old and in our Country, India, I saw villages around with still no electricity just a decade ago
And once the Sun is down? Humanity, the only species that can think, lived in darkness for most of its time on this planet.
Back then, the slogan was "Save Humans, not Tigers". There is a reason for all the superstitions
Yet some people have very well experienced supernatural activities, some unreal experiences that we feel hard to digest
My mother had a few incidents of her own! We all have heard these rural/urban legends throughout our lives
Here is a story that I heard from my brother, Sunny who visited The Three Kings Chapel in Goa.
The most haunted Church in the state is named after the three scholar-kings who had visited Lord Jesus at the time of his birth in Bethlehem.
So during the 2023 monsoon, my brother along with his three friends planned to visit Goa by road, a time when Goa is quite covered with clouds hiding the Sun for weeks.
It was Friday, the last evening of the trip and they decided to visit the church.
As they reached the parking, a black-tinted Volkswagen Polo with its headlight on was already parked there.
It was quite dark already and a young teen approached my brother and asked if they all could go inside together, as they all were scared.
As soon as my brother got down, the remaining guys, got down from the car, in their late teens, got down and said they would like to go inside together.
The Church was roughly 400 meters from the parking and between stood a Banyan Tree.
The youngest teen warned them not to record anything, especially the banyan tree. As the legends say the ghost resides on its branches.
So they lit their flashes on their smartphones and started to walk.
The young teen approached my brother seeing his iPhone and asked if he worked at an IT firm in Hyderabad
My brother was puzzled and asked the teen how he knew.
The teen said, simple, your license plate, and your dressing state you must be from the biggest city in the state, IT was an obvious guess.
My brother laughed and said you are a smart kid, yes I work for Wipro. So Science or Arts what do you prefer my brother asked - There must be a lot of people there, right? My brother replied Yes, sometimes even at night it feels like dusk.
The teen was filled with curiosity and asked me several questions, which my brother did not have any problems answering. But little did that kid know, my brother was recording and his flash was on. He just did not act as if he was recording.
As they approached the tree, my brother pointed his phone at the top of the branches.
The teen got petrified and shouted are you recording? I asked you not to!
My brother replied no, no, no, he minimized the camera without anyone noticing and showed it to the teen, who was scared now.
Then the wind blew harder than ever, there was lightning followed by heavy rain. And a strange smell spread around the place, the smell of a dead animal, we all felt that but no one spoke.
The boy just stood there for a second and ran back towards parking.
Seeing this everyone got shit scared and ran towards the parking.
They started their engine when my brother hurriedly approached them and asked where is their young friend and why are they leaving him behind
The guy in the front passenger seat gave a puzzled look and said was not he with you? You two were talking all the time, we saw you walk together from the car since the moment you came here. And they left.
This left my brother confused, he started to think the very first moment they reached the parking. He never realized that none of those guys spoke to the teen and appeared to him out of nowhere
Now things got more bizarre
In no time my brother and his friends left the place. They reached the hotel and decided to leave the place as soon as possible.
Soon they packed and started their journey, this time everyone smelled an unpleasant odour, the same they felt at the Church, so bad they had to keep their windows down throughout their journey.
On the way one-by-one everyone started to fall ill
I had to pick them up half way as everyone was not in a condition to drive anymore
I turned on the radio when the news broke that three teenagers driving a red Volkswagen died in a road accident. Post mortem showed that they all had high fever.
My brother instantly took his phone out and played the video he recorded the night at the church. The tree he pointed, there sat a boy in his early teens. The same teen who spoke to my brother and later disappeared
They returned to the city and everyone was admitted to a hospital and quarantined
A friend died at the hospital
Another guy's whole family was affected by the fever
After that my brother was never the same
