The Man Behind The Tree

 

The story I am about to tell happened to me about 15 years back. It all happened when we were living in a house in Pannipitiya. I use to work for a media company and we would have to work very odd times sometimes early in the morning we would start work and come back home again at midnight and it go's on like that. One night I finished work and came home around 12:30am.

My bedroom was like an office room in the house. I jumped at the idea of taking it since there was a door I could go out to the garden in our back yard. I had just started smoking cigarettes and no one in my house knew about it at the time.

I have to say I see a lot of unexplainable things and am scared to the bone but still very curious and am very much used to all ghost and evil stories thanks to my grandparents. They would sit us (some of us who show we are brave enough to listen to all what they have experienced in their lives with the dead. So coming back to the night in particular I came home parked the car in and went to my room and before taking a shower got that urge to have cigarette now the time would have been around 12:45am. I open my door to the back yard and sitting on the step lit my cigarette and took couple of pulls. Just about 15 feet away, we had a big mango tree suddenly I saw someone peep from behind the tree. I got a bit alarmed and stood up and asked who is it (ya I know 1st thing I should have done is run in and close the door) but no I had to know who it was we have a lot of harmless thieves who would just randomly jump in and take a clothe dryer or something small to get their drug dose for the day.

Still smoking for the second time again this person was peeing I shouted am calling the police and was near my door now when suddenly it was a man dressed all in white he was old because the hair was all white as well no face was just floating towards me I can't remember how and what happen after that. When I open my eyes I was in my sister's room when she started shaking me to ask what had happen as she had woken up when I had jumped on to her bed. Later we found out the house is built on a old gave yard we lived there for almost 10 years and yes there is so much more I can tell but that's for a another day.

Seems like since the house built over a graveyard there are more than one restless spirit.
