My bungalow's attic had a host of tenants.Barn owls,at least a family of them,birds (some birds but no crows) and rodents (an army of them).Further, the most frightening of them - a female ghossssst with a baby.
This bungalow had been left vacant for as soon it was constructed four to five years ago.The Boss had refused admittance to that bungalow to my predecessor because of various reasons.Within three months of my employment I was granted the permission to shift in with his blessing.
Well.it was really nothing,no big deal whatsoever,except that I met with his requirements.First and foremost ,I found that the main generator for the plantation was sufficient to provide electricity to the bungalow,provided we control the usage of the electricity supply.Most of all keep the generator running for fixed hours only not throughout the night. Well maintenance of the generator thus lowering its running costs .
My predecessor had insisted on a new separate generator for that bungalow which the Boss did not approve.Not only that the Boss had no good impression of him whatsoever.He was a graduate yet his performances was questionable to the Boss,poor thing.
Another reason was that although my initial stay was never so impressive but as days rolled but I proved to be a force to reckon with by all involved.Yes my immense experiences were telling.Leaving the Boss no reason to disapprove my moving into the "new" bungalow.
Having been neglected for quite sometime,this bungalow which was situated at a road junction attracted a number of invited guests not to mention the barns owls ,rats and the birds,it also unsuspectingly became a resting place for many ghosts who were passing by every now and then.
Workers dared not ventured near it although it was not fenced then because that was the Manager's bungalow,with many believing the bungalow was haunted.The noises made by those barn owls in late,late nights.Really in big deal only the barn owls chasing the rodents and small bats for food.Their rushing about chasing their preys created frightening sound similar to some one or ghosts loitering above in the attic.
I have heard these so often that I am immune to such noises.
One of those passerby happened to like it and finding it vacant took residence at its attic and that was the female ghost.One late silence evening I had an encounter with her in my dream.She came to me demanding that house belonged to her and hers alone and I was to leave.
A good look at her I found that she was extremely ugly,fearful,fierce and haggard looking with long messy hair free flowing down her head, part of which covered her ugly paled face.She was dressed in white.Her weary eyes were huge and red with blood dripping slightly down.On her hand she held a motionless baby.
Her scary frightening looks really stunned and froze me and in fright I reply that that as long as I was employed there I was to stay there,and I will only leave if I am better off.She was not pleased with what I say,but continued demanding that that was her house and left telling me not to interfere with her or else....................
It may have come in to me as if I was dreaming but that dream kept coming back every now and then,the thought of it is sheer insanity but what to do she never did harm me,so I allowed her be - but I know she is there even today,I know.
