THE HAUNTED PLACE

Have you ever talked to a ghost? My cousin has.It was a winter night, and my cousin and his friends were in kaghan valley with us. We were there to enjoy our winter vacations. My cousin and his friends were all in ARMY and were in their early twenties. One night they decided to explore kaghan valley so they went on with their plan and were gone. They informed us that they would probably be back till eleven pm or twelve am.The entire Kaghan valley was under Balakot Tehsil.The valley is spread over 100 miles beginning from the town of Balakot, and the last point was Naran.So let's get back to the story. It was past midnight and they were still not back.My mother tried to contact them but there was no response. My mother thought that they must be driving or busy somewhere so she just put her phone away and remembered that they have the house key as well so once they return home they could easily open the door. With that thought, she put all of us to sleep and just left as well. That night went very well and cozy the time flew away and it was the next morning. The next day it was almost one or two pm and all the boys and my cousin returned to the hotel they were all sweating out of fear and they just told us an unbelievable story.Okay so according to them they went to explore kaghan valley and went on for a long drive as well. On their way There were tall green mountains and to add to the beauty there was a river in between the mountains named Kunhar River. There were apple orchards with a view of the fast-moving Kunhar River below. They stopped in an area that seemed like a small paradise.The scenery there was most dramatic.They enjoyed it a lot and didn't realize when the time flew away. After nearly 3 hours they sat back in the car and decided to go back but one of their friends said, let's explore a bit more. All of them agreed else agreed and they were off for a long drive after another 3-hour drive they decided to park the car again and sit outside for some time there was a bench and a lot of trees over the bench they sat on the bench and started talking about how much fun they're having it was almost past 12 but they didn't realize that once their one friend picked up the phone to check what time it was, with his eyes stuck on the screen he spoke the time and all of them, They all was in real shock their eyes were wide open. the time they all decided to us hop in the car and go back but one of their friends said that they needed to find this day here because going back will take another 7 hours Drive so they opened Google map and got out know that they were in balakot town on the right side there was a huge mansion and there was a guard who was sitting outside the mention so they went to ask the God if he would allow them to just spend a night but the card denied and said that they are homeowners coming in the morning and we are not allowed to let anyone stay my cousin and their friend's bed a lot so the guard called the owners And told them the whole scenario of the boys who wanted to the owners allowed but said that they better be gone before we arrive,

• conveyed the owner's message to our cousin and his friends. He also informed them that there was no one inside. All of them were very grateful that they got a place to stay you are went inside they are the living room put their bags there and sat there one of my cousin's friends said I am having a headache I need some tea so I am going to make some tea if anybody else wants it then let me know all of them said one by one that they want it as well so the friend said I cannot make so many cups of teas alone someone needs to come with me another friend went with him and once they reach the kitchen there was already a chef making something ad First they got curious because the guard said that there would no one be inside but then a thought comes in their mind that maybe the guard forgot about the chef so they just ignored the guard and told the Chef to make 7 cups of tea, there was no response as the Chef was busy making something. They couldn't really see what he was making one as he was turned and the boys were standing at his back anyways once again he shouted are you listening me I am asking you to make seven cups of tea also don't forget to add some biscuits in the tray... still no response, the boy got angry and said if the tea will not be ready in the next 5 minutes then you will see what I am going to do with you he threatened him and left.when he came back to the other boys they started talking about different topics but then they realised that its has been 15 minutes and the tea was still not there the boys again went to the kitchen and saw that there was no one there they when went back to the friends and told them that there is no one in the kitchen all of them God a bit scared then one of them said I don't want to drink tea anymore let's just go into a room and sit there but the other boys insisted to sit for some time there and you two he pointed to other two boys, go inside and put all this stuff there, they both went in the room to put all the stuff but there was someone in the bed, the room was furnished with wooden sofa,chair and bed but they were not seeing all the stuff because there was something else waiting for their attention.A man lay on the bed. Although he was covered with a blanket, they could easily see and understand that there was a man inside the blanket. cold waves just went through bodies and with shivering bodies they ran outside.When the boys told their friends what happened they all got more scared they all decided to go inside together and once they stepped in the room they saw the bed sheet was scrambled and the blanket was half on the carpet it seemed like someone just ran away. They got so frightened but they needed to stay there till night so with a big heart they just went inside the room, cleaned the bed and slept after that scary and rough night. They didn’t even realize when the time passed and it was the next morning once they all woke up there were happy that the night was over and it's another day and in the morning there are at least no ghosts in there. They all packed their stuff and were passing the lawn outside but suddenly they saw that there was an old man and woman having tea on the lawn. They thought that they must be the homeowners that the guard told them about. they did not hesitate at all and went to that old man and woman they had a bit of conversation and all the boys thank them and once they were about to leave that old man and woman told them that before they leave to make sure to check if they tire was not punctured and the break was not failed. it felt a bit strange but Usually old people are way too kind and careful with the young generation so they all thanked once again and left they saw that the morning guard had arrived and they remembered the night shift guard had already told them about the morning shift guard all the boys apologized because they had promised at night that they would live before the homeowners would come. But the guard got a little bit surprised because he just talked to the homeowners and there were about to arrive once he told this to the boys they all were in a state of shock, they couldn't stand the pace.they told the guard about the chef and the person in the room and then the guard once again reminded them that the other guard had already told them that they would be alone there, and to make them feel better he said, it must be your imagination but this did not help the boys. They were all really scared and didn't want to get even more seconds so they then quickly put their bags in the car and quickly settled in as well, one of the boys was trying to start the car but it was showing a red light once he got out of the car he saw that there was a flat tire he told the boys and then they remembered what the old man and woman told them and they all broke into a cold sweat.they just wanted to get out of this mess and tried to feel strong, and hoped to have an extra tire in the car surprisingly there was one in the back trunk this gave them a breath and one of them quickly changed it and they came back to us. My mother asked them what in the world took them a day to come back so they told us every single detail to us they took a sigh of relief that it was over and promised each other that they would never go back there but while they were discussing how thankful they are that they are safe suddenly a phone rang and it was one of their other friends and he asked them to pick him up and he was very in a helpless condition so, of course, they could not leave their friend alone in that condition plus it was just a few blocks away so once they started the car there was a red light that was indicating them that the brake was failed. it was one of the things that the old man and woman said…… they could not handle it more cause they thought they were out of this mess but NO. Anyways alhamdulillah they are fine and secure now.
