Once upon a time there was a girl who is "Theja'.she was a kind of mischief who lived in a rural village.Everyday she used to go to bath her village river which is far away from her home. But one day as usual she went to bath from the river,but she felt strange.similar to some one near to her,at once she got faint.
When she opened her eyes she was at her bed surrounded by so many village people,at once all asked "What happens to you Theja".but she was silent she had nothing to tell.Days passed alike she was not who was before.the Little mischief Theja,now totally different.Her mother understood the dramatic change of her daughter.
Next day morning they decided to take Theja to a priest who is in their village.and priest has murmured some stanza.suddenly Theja spoke in someone else voice that was a 'Male voice'.All got shocked and That male voice started shouted at all ,I 'Am a ghost ,and I never let her and go'.But priest had not stopped preaching stanza,but all efforts went vein.Her parents tried so many ways to get Theja back to normal .but all the times they failed. Now the situation became more and more worst.
After few days they got to know about a medicine man who lived in the next village,then suddenly Theja's parents took her to that man.
That man touched Theja's head and murmured a stanza .again she talked in that startle voice' stop it ,stop it" then that medicine man replied 'Who are you,What are you doing by using this little girl go away from her'.After few minutes that male voice started crying and said 'I am Theja's grandfather,I Love her a lot,and when I was lived these people did not treat me well,so I came to get revenge of it.'

Then that medicine man said"You are already dead,you are not belong to this world ,if you are truly love your grand-daughter let her and forgive for them'

after that grand father replied ' I will go but you all needs to light a candle on my cemetery every day,then only I could go into another soul'

Medicine man said' Yes I promise you,Now leave her and go away' and he started preaching stanza again.after a while Theja fainted.and her parents realized their mistake which was done for their grand father and they started lighting a candle everyday to make their mistake correct.

( I GOT TO KNOW THIS STORY FROM MY GRAND MOTHER,AS PER HER IDEAS THIS WAS A TRUE STORY,Though scientifically not believe on Ghost,there is something which is exist within us,They are GHOST)).

iamsuraweera — 2019-03-04 04:36:16 UTC

Do I believe in ghosts?
Could I trust something that I can't see or touch?

We've heard the usual stories about ghosts and demons, so I'd rather tell you about stories surrounding my school that used to spook me and my friends in our school-days.

Our school was founded in 1889 and served as a hostelry before it was altered to be a school.
It was Used as an infirmary and then a military hospital for the British during world war 2.
So it obviously had a history of many ghosts.

There are stories about
1. A headless soldier riding through school corridors at midnight
2. A dusty old gloomy room that was locked
3. A dead girl

But there's one story we actually believe that might be true,
It's a story about a nun who worked as a nurse during the outbreak of an epidemic in 1909 she died of the same disease.
It was said that she looks after sick children in the hostel.some say they saw her. There was this girl who told that she dreamed about a nun looking after her when she was sick and there was talk about some girls finding her diary.
We don't know if these stories are true or not.

I've never had an encounter with any supernatural activity but I believe that there's something in between life and death.

A Small, Good Thing

Based on a true story

iamsuraweera — 2019-03-04 04:36:16 UTC

Once, my grandfather had gone on a duty to a place far away and had to stay over night at a rest house. When the night came he tried to sleep several times but he couldn’t. He felt like someone was in the room with him. Somehow he couldn’t sleep all night because of this atmosphere.
In the morning he complained about this to the rest house keeper before returning home. Then the rest house keeper said that someone had committed suicide in that room about a month back!

The neigbours

Ghost story

iamsuraweera — 2019-03-04 04:36:16 UTC

This based on a true story that i heard from my friends. I believe it as a urban myth😉. Shehan who was a boy lived in negambo had face this incident several years ago. His house situated near a grave yard.

Once he was on his way to home, a blowing sound makes him scared and a gloom of light on a tombstone at the graveyard makes him curious. So he moved to tombstone and had a search about the light. Curious!!! It was a diary. He took it immediately and ran to the house.

When time passes slowly after a week in midnight , he opened the book and search for details about the owner of the diary. Oh blimey!!! It was empty. Shehan just write his name on the first page of the book. Within one or two seconds it disappeared. He got feared and suddenly diary starts writing. “Hi shehan my name is ..........” .

Shehan closed the book and threw it away from the window. On the following day morning when he got up, the diary was on his table. He scared more and more. It seems to be that diary starts to follow shehan. Then he opened the diary. It was a story about the assassination of the owner who must not be named. Three of thugs had murdered the anonymous owner of the diary.

Shehan was totally scared about the incident and he asked that what he can do for the well being of the owner.

It suddenly write that “ 🤬 the murderers”. Then shehan replied that “how can i do that?? I’m too innocent” . Then the diary became very angry( it says that owner is a bad tempered one😉) said “Do or Die”

According to my friends they said that shehan killed all the murderers and get rid from the diary. Further they said that diary also helped shehan to overcome some critical situations of his life. Even most of the people know this story no evidence had prove that it is a real ghost story.
