Wardah, Railway Track- Nagpur

Smoke leaves through the chimney from the rail made of iron,

Every person rushes by without pausing, no one went near,

"The track is haunted", they say,

"Never, ever go by that way",

There stands the track, deserted.

"Why is it haunted, do you know?"

"People claim to see a human figure with an eerie glow",

Most don't like to talk about it, they steer clear of that place,

Mention it, and see the blood drain from their face,

The smoke still rises from the deserted rail.

Some don't believe it, they think its's a trick,

A myth in the area, they're gonna clear it up quick,

They visit in the silence of night when they think no one's around,

At daybreak, the cause of the myth is found,

The secret lies of getting a beautiful girl killed,

From that day the girl’s spirit has homed herself there.

The screams of that helpless girl still haunt the place

Saligaon village- Goa.

Your body filled with a dreadful chill,  

Stared at your desk, and the white old quill. 

Windy night, the quill moved slight, 

You turned the switch, seeking light. 

No light came, the bulb was dead,                                               

You thought of going back to bed. 

Suddenly noticed, quill moved slight, 

You approached, with all your might. 

Not the wind, window was closed, 

Heart raced, a message exposed. 

You read in horror, ink was red, 

"Not the wind, go back to bed!"

       Goa is popular for many things: it is the party capital of the country but today I will tell you about Saligao village that has a spooky tale that is centuries old and still continues to haunt people.

      The village of Saligao is 15 km away from Panji and one of the those quint villages that isn't on Goa's tourist map. You will seldom find tourists flocking here and the life of the locals is as relaxed as it gets. However, there is a banyan tree in the village that makes things uncomfortable for them as the haunted tale is attached to it. The tree is said to be haunted by the spirit of a woman called Christalina who once lived here. People avoid taking this route at night as according to an old story, lurking around this banyan tree at night can be dangerous. The spirit of Christalina can posses you as she did years ago.

      According to the story, Padre, a missionary once took this route at night and did not return. He was later found unconscious near the banyan tree. When locals took him to the doctor, he remained speechless for four days and later started speaking in Konkani in a female's voice. He also uttered Christalina's name several times. It was concluded that he was possessed by her spirit and even had scratches and blood on his body. Since then, the haunted story has been passed on from one generation to the other and people avoid going near the tree at night.

      But, still story is incomplete. Who was Christalina when she was alive? What happened with her? How she died? What’s the reason behind she still haunts the place? Would you visit this place?
