True Story

It was my first job in a call centre in vashi.My office was in a place which was quite deserted in the night.After sunset it was quite spooky.Nobody ventured out after 9p.m.Why the hell would anybody want to open a venture in such a place.We had pick up and drop facility irrespective of the shift timings which was one of the perks of working in a call center.How i hated those graveyard shift(shift after midnight).Anyway,it was during one of those shifts that something happened.Five of us were travelling in a tata sumo and were half asleep.A few blocks away from our gate,our driver screeched the car to a halt and screamed like a devil.Being in the front seat,I woke up with a start and saw his eyes wide open with terror.We thought he had run somebody over but what followed was even more horrifying.It seems he had passed through a floating spirit of a man which was not white(thank god for that) and pretty unlike what they show in movies.We laughed out loud, one even joked that he had too much to drink but, that was clearly not the case.He was shivering with fear and didn't say a single word till he dropped us at the gate.The next day he didn't report to work as he was down with fever.Was it really a ghost, or was he joking.We will never know but I must admit that his eyes filled with fear still haunts my memory.
