Raj and the Mystery of Dow Hill"

Once upon a time, in the serene town of Kurseong nestled amidst the misty hills of West Bengal, there stood a grand old building known as Victoria Boys' High School. With its majestic architecture, ivy-covered walls, and sprawling grounds adorned with towering oak trees, the school seemed to hold within its embrace the whispers of generations past.

Yet, behind its tranquil facade lurked a dark secret, one that had haunted the halls of Victoria Boys' High School for as long as anyone could remember. It was said that the ghost of a headless boy roamed the corridors of the school, his spectral form drifting silently through the darkness of night.

Many students claimed to have encountered him, his disembodied footsteps echoing in the stillness, sending shivers down their spines. Some said he appeared when the mist rolled in, shrouding the school in an eerie veil of fog. Others whispered of strange sightings and inexplicable sounds that echoed through the halls when the moon hung low in the sky.

Among the students at Victoria Boys' High School was a curious young boy named Raj. Having recently moved to Dow Hill with his family, Raj was eager to explore his new surroundings and uncover the truth behind the mysteries that whispered in the mountain air.

One day, as Raj wandered through the school grounds, he overheard a group of older boys huddled together, their voices hushed as they spoke of the ghost of Dow Hill. Intrigued, Raj approached them and asked if they knew anything about the legend.

The boys exchanged nervous glances before one of them, a senior named Rahul, spoke up. "They say that the ghost appears when the mist rolls in, shrouding the school in darkness," he whispered. "And if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of his footsteps echoing through the halls."

Determined to uncover the truth, Raj embarked on a journey to unravel the mystery of the headless boy. That night, as the mist descended upon Dow Hill, he sneaked into the school grounds, his heart pounding with excitement and fear.

As Raj crept through the dimly lit corridors of Victoria Boys' High School, the shadows seemed to dance around him, and the faint echoes of his own footsteps filled him with a sense of foreboding. But he pressed on, his curiosity driving him forward.

Suddenly, Raj heard a soft whisper echoing through the darkness, like a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves. It sounded like someone calling his name, beckoning him to follow.

Heart pounding, Raj followed the sound, his senses on high alert. And then, just as he rounded a corner, he saw it – a shadowy figure standing at the end of the corridor, its head tucked under its arm.

For a moment, Raj was frozen in fear, his breath catching in his throat. But then, summoning all his courage, he stepped forward and reached out to touch the ghostly figure. And to his surprise, his hand met solid flesh.

With a gasp of disbelief, Raj realized that the ghost of Dow Hill was no ghost at all – but a living, breathing boy, just like him. It turned out that the legend of the headless boy was nothing more than a prank played by the older students to scare the younger ones.

Relieved and exhilarated by his discovery, Raj returned to his dormitory, eager to share his adventure with his classmates. And as the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, illuminating the mist-covered hills of Kurseong, Raj knew that he had uncovered the truth behind the mystery of Dow Hill.
