#5: Haunted Banyan (vad) Tree
Hie, maself Amit naik . I live in a village called Naroa, (taluka Bicholim) which is adjacent to Charao Island n next to diwar island. To go to Bicholim,, we can either choose to go from Mayem village (12 kms) or there’s a shortcut road which goes thru forest n meets Mayem lake (6 kms). Its dark out there as der are no street lites n houses for whole 6kms. It is cool and peaceful there. This forest is also called as kavle ran (Crow forest) I don’t knw for wat reasons.
it was 25th april of dis year, it was my 23rd b’day and I din’t had money to Sponsor a party in any bar n rest rodent so I decided to celebrate it in kavle ran n brot 2 beer carton n 1 wisky n 1 white rum bottle. On that road, ther is only one intersection… dis road comes from mayem-haturlim and before that ders an open flat land wer durin monsoon, nearby guys come and play football in the evening. Next to it der is a Banyan tree where we usually sit at nite to booze. It is 400-500 mts away from main road.
We wer 11 ppl and we reached our spot i.e. that banyan tree at 10:15 pm at nite. Six came on bike while others came in car. We started drinking, followed by funny jokes, n so on. It was all so good and I was living my night. At 12:45 one fellow went on his bike to Bicholim to bring something n came back n den we never got distracted. By 2 – 2:15 am we wer fully loaded but I was like “party abhi baki hai” n two friends accompanied me. Rest wanted to go home as it was late n dey had to ride quite a long distance from here. Finally at 2:30 something, all left except 2 of my friends who were suppose to sleep at my place that nite. We had 2 bottles of beer n few cigarettes to burn our lungs.
There were normal gossips and suddenly I noticed dat at d root of d banyan tree there was something. I put lite on it n realized it had stone carved idol like structure. I was coming there from past few years but I never saw anything like dat. I lifted it up n my two friends Kevin n Pritesh wer busy talkin so dey dint notice me. It was like one n half feet long and one feet wide. I was tryin to figure out which deity it was in the dark. I am an atheist so was eager to know suddenly which god conquered my drinking place frm me. I turned on the flash lite of mobile to check. I was stunned actually, It was different. I couldn’t relate it to anybody as it was weird. I called my friends n dey also had a look and laughed on my archaeological discovery.
I joined them too and we started crackin jokes on it. Kevin tried to break it while Pritesh (the extra smart guy) praised him in a funny way and we all laughed out loud. It was past 3 am, now that stone idol was our new friend n we named him “narkasur” and later I threw it away. I took a drag and passed the cigarette to Kevin but coincidently, tht time only strong wind blowed n cigarette ash went into his eyes so I passed d water bottle to him. It was quiet for next few seconds and suddenly we heard noise as if smething is running towards us. It was gibbous moon nite so der was no moonlight also. We couldn’t figured out what it was, we stood silent, little scared and to kill d suspense we saw a buffalo runnin towards us. We got scared, we ran for life n stood bhind our car. There wer buffalos, cattles running towards the main road. They wer in huge numbers , mayb more then a hundred.
I dint believe my eyes as there wont b so many buffalos in d whole village and we got a shock wen just within 10-12 seconds dey disappeared. We wer all speechless, we looked at each others face in fear. Kevin opened his mouth n said “zb! Wat was it? “ I was drunk but this thing made me sober and I was still speechless. Pritesh in a loud daring voice said “ kite re bhiyetat,, aaiz mojaa yeyli,, solid hallucination jale” . After few long deep breaths I agreed to him n Kevin removed a cigarette n lighter from his pocket n tried 4-5 times to lit it. The lighter was not working so I went to d front passenger seat of car and opened the car’s door to get d match box.
Fuck! Dis was wat I said wen d headlights of car turned on automatically as I took the matchbox from d door’s pocket. I shut the door hard in fear and heard a voice smewat like tht of an old lady. But I couldn’t understand wat it said. I was sweating like a pig, for a moment I felt dizzy coz of shock. Kevin and pritesh was sitting aside, he yelled askin for matchbox followed by few bad words for turnin on d headlights. I just replied in soft scared voice “ya gora,,,bos gadyen”. They wer like we’ll wait few mins, at 3:30 we’ll go. I yelled “zb! Haav voita” my voice ws loud n expressed my fear. They got up and set in the car. I turned the key to start………… nothing happened……….i tried again…….. nothing happened.
I got so damn scared and dey also wer like “ dis place is freakin me out , start fast”. My legs wer shivering n arms wer sweating. I again heard that scary voice and this time I was not alone , Kevin and pritesh heard it too. Pritesh closed d window as fast as he could n I kept on turnin the key to start the car but all attemps wer in vain. The tree was looking scary, there was wind blowing n der was voices we all could hear. I was so scared that I closed my eyes,I could hear d same buffalo running sound again. Kevin lost control, he ran after opening the door of d backseat towards main road. It happened so fast n he ran as if someone was chasing him. Again I turned on the key n d car started and I turned on the headlights. It was all dusty and I culd barely see anything .
I shifted gear n turned my wheels n pressed full accelerator. The car hit a rock I dint care, I shifted reverse gear n den again first gear n I culd c the road clear. There was no dust nothing, within fraction of secnd it ws gone. I was scared for Kevin, I reached main road n saw Kevin sitin n cryin which gave me a sigh of relief coz I found him. We took him in the car n raced to home.
Whole way I culd see in the back view mirror that something was following us. I was scared,I remember how it looked but I cant express it in words. It was scary, weird and I don’t knw. Even thinkin abt it gives me Goosebumps.
We reachd home all scared and all wer shivering. It was 3:35 am (dnt knw excact) in d morning and I dint wanted to wake my mom up. We dint sleep the whole nite. I couldn’t discuss this at home as dey wuld hav shouted on me for goin there n if I say I was drinkin den I was dead der only. Morning mayb at 6-6:30 we took a nap n got up soon at 7. Now we wer bit normal from the shock. I asked Kevin “y u ran away from the car?” He told me that he saw someone sitting next to him (I ws on driver’s seat, pritesh was on front passenger seat n Kevin was sitting alone on left side in d back) she was a female, her face, everything was covered n she was rite behind me. He felt like she’l attack us so he ran away and he ran so fast that in no time he reachd the main road n started yelling for help and crying.
I ran inside n called mom n told her the full story. I m an atheist but I was scared and was actually prayin to god from all my heart. I got scolding from home n m not allowed to go anywhere at nite till now. It was a bad experience, probably the worst experience of our life. I never come from that shortcut alone after that nite. N if thers some urgent work at Bicholim at nite I go from mayem village.
Kevin is in Bombay these days at her aunt’s place, still recovering from that shock and Pritesh never came to my place after that night and is stil afraid to move out of house wen it b dark outside.
I learned a lesson that you should never make fun of any mysterious things. We had so many parties there, everything went normal but on my b’day I just found that stone carved idiol n den weird things started to happen. I din’t disclose this to anybdy coz people wil make fun sayin it was pure hallucination since we wer drinkin. But we hav personally experienced that and its like a curse n it haunts us still evry nite.
