GHOST IN THE CEMETERY


This happened in Raa Meedhoo. It is an island in Raa Atoll in the Maldives. One night after attending a party at my friends place, I was walking home alone at around midnight. Along the way, I had to pass a cemetery. There was a road adjacent to the wall of the cemetery. I took this road because it was a short cut. It was dark since there were no street lights here but I could see some lights on the other streets far away. Some people say they have seen ghosts in this area.

Suddenly, through the corner of my eye I saw something moving on the wall. I didn’t have it in me to stop and turn around and look at it. I just kept walking. It was moving on the wall along with me. I felt it was tracking me. Waiting for an opportune moment to strike. I walked faster. It moved faster. It was scary, but soon I realized it was my shadow which was moving on the wall.
