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?
