The Jackfruit Tree




My uncle's house is haunted. In that house, ghostly events often happened every day. Almost all the residents of that house had some kind of paranormal experience of their own which my cousins ​​told me. When I was a child, their house was two-storied. Now it is an apartment building. They still experience weird things, but it was higher during the old period. The two-storied house was of a very strange structure. And it was more than one hundred years old. There were two entrances to the house. There was a tailor's shop with a front entrance and stairs to the second floor. And if you entered through the back way, there was a courtyard where there was a jackfruit tree. There was the main gate of my uncle's house next to the jackfruit tree and the main gate of his elder sister's house on the opposite side. Although the two houses were separate, both of them were on the ground floor. Both of them had a balcony in front of their house. And to enter the house, first, you had to go to the balcony through the iron main gate, the door to the house from that balcony. From the balcony of my uncle's house, only the stump of the jackfruit tree and some parts of its trunk could be seen. But the entire jackfruit tree could be seen from the balcony of his sister's house. The age of the jackfruit tree was equal to the age of the house. The reason for talking so much about the tree is that the ghostly incident I am going to tell happened around this jackfruit tree. Now we need to give a description of their flat.

Although their house had only one iron main gate, it could be entered in two ways. After entering through the gate, there was a small balcony on the left with chairs and a table. A wooden door led to the living room from that balcony. And straight from the main gate, there was another long corridor-like balcony, the top of which was open. There was a bathroom at the end of it. A wooden door next to the bathroom led to another room. Adjacent to that room was another bathroom and kitchen. Between that room and the living room was the bedroom. The long balcony could be seen from the bedroom window. One day in the afternoon I went out to their house. My two cousins ​​and I were just at home, uncle and aunty went out for some work. We were talking on the bed with the main gate and the wooden door of the living room closed. But the door leading to the bathroom at the far end of the long balcony was open. Then in the empty house, my cousin started telling me the ghost story.

One morning, Uncle was sitting on the small balcony chair reading a newspaper. At that time he saw a man coming through the back entrance of the house and entering the yard. As the man was unknown to him, he thought that he might have come to visit his sister's house. But he saw that the man was not going towards the gate of his sister's house, but was moving towards the jackfruit tree. He thought that maybe the man would cross the jackfruit tree and come towards his gate. Maybe the guy had something to do with him despite being a stranger. Thinking about this, he waited for the man to knock on the door. When he didn't hear a knock after a full minute, he opened the gate to find no one outside. But he saw the man coming with his own eyes. So where did the man go? And if he had gone through the entrance or towards his sister's house, he would have seen it. Because he was sitting in front. The balcony was separated from the courtyard by a grill partition. He could see the whole courtyard. But he could not see a part of the jackfruit tree and the front of his main gate. The uncle said the man disappeared before his eyes as if he had climbed the jackfruit tree or entered through the iron gate. He immediately searched all the places in the house but did not find any traces of the man. Even asked his sister and residents on the first floor about the man. Two days after this incident, when the uncle was telling his elder sister about the incident, his sister told him about another incident.

I have already said that the whole yard and the whole jackfruit tree could be seen from the balcony of his sister's house. One day after Fajr's prayer, she was standing on her balcony. It was still dark. But there was clearly visible light all around. She then saw a man enter the yard through the back entrance of the house. It was not clear whether that person was a man or a woman. Because the upper part of the head and the whole body were covered with a black cloth that looked like a veil but was not exactly a veil. The person stood in the yard for about a minute. Then she shouted and asked, 'Who are you? As soon as the person heard this, it quickly went to the jackfruit tree and uprooted it. She said she was shocked to see the person climb the jackfruit tree at such speed. She stood there looking at the jackfruit tree until it was well light of dawn around. Then she went to the jackfruit tree and saw if there was anything on it. But there was nothing. The jackfruit tree did not have so many branches or leaves that one could not be seen if someone was hiding there. And there was no question of coming down from the tree because she did not take her eyes off that tree even for a minute. Then my uncle and his sister both agreed that there was a genie living in their jackfruit tree. Because their father gave them such a hint.

When my cousin finished telling this story, I blurted out something to my cousin. Before that I have to tell, the cousins ​​were two sisters in which the elder sister was telling me the story. She was sitting with her back to the bedroom window, which overlooked the long balcony. And I was sitting right opposite her. And another cousin was sitting next to me. That is, only the two of us could see the window. As soon as she finished speaking, I scolded her and said, 'I have heard so many horror stories about this house from you. How many times have I come to your house, but I have never seen anything like this before. Do ghosts only appear to you? It does not come in front of anyone else. ' As soon as my words were finished, I saw through the window a white object in front of my eyes moving from one side to the other at a high speed. It seemed that a white cloth-like object flew away at high speed. The most significant proof that I saw nothing wrong was the sunlight reflected on my face from that white cloth. I looked next to my cousin to see if she had seen something or if I was the only one. But looking at her and seeing the expression on her face, I could just understand that she too had witnessed the thing. We both looked at each other and understood everything. I immediately looked at the other cousin. And by looking at her face, I understood that by seeing the sudden change of perception of our faces and the movement of our eyes, she understood that just there has been something happening right behind her. None of us said anything out of fear. Suddenly I realized that the object went from the closed iron gate to the side of the bathroom where the door was open. That was, that thing will or had entered the house from that direction. Just thinking about it, I screamed in fear. The other two also screamed as they probably understood what I was thinking. And all three ran together. All three of us ran towards the living room. And from there open the door to the balcony and then open the iron gate. From the balcony, we reached to the courtyard. The three of us stood there until Uncle and Aunty came back that day. We entered the room with them. When they saw us standing in the yard and asked what happened, we told them everything. Then we searched the whole house, but found nothing that day. If I saw a white cloth on that balcony, I would have thought that I had been mistaken. But no white cloth was found on the balcony. 

That day I thought that maybe the genie living in the jackfruit tree wanted to scare me because I was making fun of the stories. Because that object came from the direction of the jackfruit tree. There are many more horror stories I have heard about this house. Which I will share with you one by one.
