In Eastern countries, if you can see a spirit, you are in doom. Legendarily, humans would experience illness after they saw a ghost, such as mysterious high fever, fatigue, and headache.

It is said that the spirits absorb our aura, and they are pernicious when we encounter and are in touch with them. So, our culture has a lot of rituals to protect us from them such as burning incense and worship.

I am skeptical about the existence of the spirits of the deceased because of my college’s Christian faith. My priest told me the spirits of the deceased would not remain on earth to haunt us and they should be in heaven. And he told me there is no such thing as reincarnation.

But when I grew up and became “wiser”, something was brought to light.

I can’t see anything surreal. I might have sensed once or twice in a glimpse before, but I can’t see ghosts as described by my friends and colleagues.

Some people see them as clouds of hazy gas in different colors. And different colors represent the intention of that ghost. If it’s a white cloud, it probably has no intention to harm…

I indulge in penning flash fiction, thrillers, suspenseful supernatural-themed works, humorous sketches, and emotional stories.
